Important ETS2 Keybinds You SHOULD Know 

Man, this remind me when i first time played ETS2. I go to Keybinds setting, and when i first look at it i just like "Dear god". With the amount of key setting

0:08 Neutral Gear 0:47 Zoom in 1:21 Windows Up and Down 2:16Retarder 2:51 Engine Brake 3:43 Cruise Control Adjustment 4:25 Gearbox Switch 5:02 Trip info reset 5:52 Suspension Height 6:46 Engine Electricity 7:24 GPS view

Engine brake and retarder are two different systems. The retarder is fitted to the transmission output shaft. The engine brake, does not change any gears. It shuts of the fuel supply to some of the cylinders, turning a portion of the engine into a compressor. That is why the sound changes to varying degrees when the engine brake is activated. The higher the setting, the more cylinders that are being used to brake, 1, 2, or 3, in the case of a 6 cylinder engine. With a retarder, there is a flywheel of sorts fitted to the drive shaft, and an electro magnet is use to ‘push back’ on the shaft rotation. When using the retarder in ETS2. You will hear a whine as it is activated. The engine brake, is called a ‘Jake’ brake by most North American drivers. And it’s annoying when some jerk going by my house, on a flat road, things it’s cool to have it barking as he comes to the light!😡

Another keybind option that good to know is Cruise Control Resume. With this option activated with a keybind, if you're driving at a certain speed and have to show down or stop all of a sudden, when speeding up again and the speed limit crosses 30 km/h or mph and you activate that keybind, the Cruise Control Resume will take you back up to the speed you had before slowing down.

For the cruise control speed, I recommend using the mouse wheel instead of the page up and page down button, it's easier for the control and even better if you use your mouse for steering.

I also use keyboard and mouse while playing this and the most groundbreaking thing that i've discovered is that you can bind the gear up and gear down to the scroll on the mouse, it's like playing in a automatic but you have more control. And I put bind the indicators to the left and right mouse buttons because it's way more comfortable and I have more keys to bind to.

I use a wheel to play and already use most of what you showed, and BTW, to be more realistic, you can just assign a button for electricity and then to start the truck, assign the same button button but in hold mode :]

2:03 *not on all trucks 5:24 keep in mind this also resets your avg fuel usage stat, so do NOT use if you'd like to see an all-time average.

There's a menu function while in sequential mode which makes the box act as "smart" skipping gears particularly on empty starts and in downshifting

I use Cruise control adjust all the time :) I've set it by 5km/h, that way you can easily slow or speed up when entering/leaving the city, construction site etc. If you have automatic retarder or engine brake allowed in the setting, it slows down with one of those option - for example in Quick jobs truck usually don't have retarder. When you ajust the speed down while having Cruise control on, it breaks with Engine brake automatically :-)

Why didn’t You mark the video and put all the information into description section? That way would have been easier for us to keep in mind and find what we need.

Pro gamer tip: always bind cruise control to mouse wheel, then set the steps to 1 kph.

I'm using all of this key binds except trip distance reset. I'm also using quick save, quick load for saving me from severe crashes 😂.

That is all I need. Thanks, man. I just discovered some of them.

good info + good music = good video!!!

7:13 It is possible to disable the automatic start of the engine when the accelerator pedal is pressed, so that the engine does not start without pressing the appropriate button. There are more and more functions and I already miss the keys on the keyboard.

I use literally ALL the features of the game. I managed to fit them all on the keyboard, dividing it into control zones. :D

I'm just glad that ETS2 has the option to adjust steering sensitivity, makes me feel like I'm using a steering wheel and not a keyboard.

Me who played ATS and ETS but never used engine braking, always used regular brakes and even locked them up.

In a combo with the suspension adjustment i run in console the "g_suspension_auto_reset 0" that allow me to run low all the way 💯

Finally I can have a zoomed view, thanks 😄 One question if you don't mind, is there any way to have different GPS navigation zoom when you use both built-in GPS (dashboard) and auxiliary GPS (portable navigator/phone GPS)?

Thanks. I realize there are a lot of features bound to keys that I never use, and a lot of features I would like to use are not assigned to any keys. Really need to take my time for this menu.

It would be nice if they add keybinds to turn on/off auxiliary lights, without opening F4 menu :)

THANKS FOR THE ENLIGHTMENT

Really helpful video thnx man ❤

I love that the gearbox with a shifter works very great with my TH8A. You take it out of gear while pressing the clutch and it is in neutral.

You have no idea how much I needed this also I didn't know you can couple different trailers?

You are doing such a very nice job 👍😎

Set «Resume cruise control» button - very useful

G'day Milan, Thanks for the videos, yeah these features are really useful, looking through the Key Settings there are some great features that are not active standard. I play using a Logitech Momo Wheel that I got for $0.99AUD a few years ago, for all players that haven't got one I would recommend keeping an eye out for a used wheel set at a reasonable price as it is so much better than just Keyboard + Mouse & even Game Controller

6:46 or just turn off automatic electricity in the gameplay settings to only use 1 instead of 2

Is there way to check how many more miles to fall asleep and get ticket?

Nice video keep up the good work btw do you steer with keyboard or mouse?

A great video as always! What mod did you use to have the MAN at the beginning of the video? That would be a nice guide to be able to do, on mods for rigid trucks!

newbie here and problem is looking left and right, do i have to use the mouse as i don't always/often get it straight back in place so was hoping i could assign a couple of things on the steering wheel to do it, i have tinkered but with no joy..any ideas..thanks

I like almost all of these features, but I don't have enough buttons for them :D

WOW you showed everything I know, thx . But yeah most of the players has no idea about those buttons. In ATS I'm also using engine brake increase and reduce button as a plus.

Thanks I will have a look later on when home from work

Can you tell me how can I take out navi from radio and leave it only on tablet for example on windscreen? Is that possibile?

Awesome and informative vid! Thanks!

4:20 where is this please?

2:35 de ç Harfi ile acil vermissin kanka 😎

Hey man, great video, as always. But i have noticed something. Why does the key names appear in portuguese (like in 1:40)?

please make a video like "ets2 new keybinds in new uptade" :)

Zoom in... wow, i always thought it is a mod and i couldn´t find it anywhere 🤣 thank you for these tips.

I've been playing the game from 2016 and I have all the key bindings except for the nutral one because I use auto transmission 😁😁 BTW your video was great❤️❤️❤️

Bro the settings I love to use but is annoying is the air brake sim,I liked using it on my Renault trucks because it took time to actually drain it and quicker to fill it when it’s done but unlike my current Scania especially when I want to park my cargo

I set the retarder on my mouse's wheel, so it feels like I'm actuating a real lever

are you portuguese our brazillian because i saw that your keybinds appear in portuguese im from portugal and im a big fan keep doing more of these videos S2

great video! I have just one question. How are you turning so smooth with the arrow keys? Is there an option to set to be able to do this?

Really helped man

I knewed some things,but thanks for what i learned!

What MAN model are you driving in 1:29 ?

Get a steering wheel with a manual shifter, you will never have to worry about neutral again!

You can set engine electricity and engine start at the same button. First click start electricity, second click start engine.

4:21 Hi Milan where is this beautiful road?

Engine braking uses a diffirent timing for the exhaust camshaft to open exhaust valves when the piston reaches top dead center twice so the piston compresses air and disables fuel entering the cylinder so the engine is basically compressing air and letting it away to lose rotational speed and energy in gear to slowdown the truck

Driving with keyboard and mouse does not work for me…, steering wheel and pedals all the way!

Hey Milan can you share your mouse steering sensitivity and config file

I hope i dont run outta engine electricty while truck is half turned on, as there arent that many tesla stations nearby :D

I'm one of those who don't have steering wheel, so I'm using keyboard for driving and mouse for viewing. I have gaming mouse, therefore two buttons on its side are turn signals. Then left mouse button is for zoom, right mouse button is engine brake, scrolling mouse wheel is for retarder and middle mouse button (press wheel) is for resetting my view. Maybe someone will find this helpful 😁

Is there a keybind for a distance between trucks? Automatic distancer?

Yes

How do you turn so smooth when you are on keyboard i have a keyboard and the wheel is like left right left right idk how btw great video!

That’s all good and well but now I need a bigger keyboard

Thanks, with neutral i can now overtake cars at 6000rpm

Hi is there any way to control the throttle. Every time I press the lever( less or more) it takes the rpm to top

It's not necessary to assign a suspension reset button if you are running low on spare keys or buttons.

It’s illegal irl to shift to neutral while in motion it’s called free wheeling look it up

What sound mod you have on Man TGX?

But, doesn’t suspension height also reduce the fuel consumption?

That's what we call engaging the Jake Brake man.. i just assigned it to 1 button to turn on an off when i hold that one button. Not increase or decrease. Just on off one. Above those.. I also recommend cruise control as well. Easy to speed when not paying attention. I'm new to all the sim games an I bought a steering wheel and what not to make it more gooder. Well it did. My question is. Do you have to buy cabin features to activate them ? Like you know on Flight Sim you have the mouse cursor to move about the cabin to click on knobs an what not. Well can you do that on ets2 and ats ? Or naw ? I set up a dual screen and found the fastest way to do that was open nvidia and it has a blue faq on left that asks to set up dual monitors and the rest is click thru to expand the screens to surround. Opposed to doing it by code way. Different strokes different folks ? Buy yea lol can you activate cabin buttons with cursor some how is my question ? Thanks for your video. Liked an sub.

Uso A e D para olhar o interior e ficar melhor pra sair das empresas e entrar na rua

Why don't you use the Rain Sensor option? I can't live without it.

I'm on 60% and the default keybind almost takes all the keys already D:

03:26 what location is that? Beautiful scenery

3:45 where is this road ?

Are you portuguese / brazilian?? Keybinds were in PT
