My Car Runs Away From Me... - The Long Drive With Mods 

25:20 I actually loaded up the sides with baskets instead of putting them in the bed. if you have the no physics mod, it's a much better use of the bed imo Actually, I'm almost certain it's why you keep having items fly out of the bed when you crash. You're probably better off putting all the baskets in the bed onto the truck's exterior.

I have just realized something. I think the reason I love watching these Long Drive uploads is because they are sort of like a one man Top Gear Special. It's all about getting a car, across a long distance, with hilarious calamities happening every now and again. When they get the multiplayer going there should be an hour long Failrace special where Alex and two others must get 3 cars past 500 -1000km. First one to get there gets a prize or title or something. But they all fail if someone dies along the way.

That house you came across...has a ladder to the next level...

I finally found one of the new fury style cars in my play through with similar mods. I dropped in a decently large V8 and I use the white wall tires which seem to be slightly larger than the standard black walls. The car cruises nicely at 200 km/h. It isn’t the most stable thing and physics is eager to ruin your day, but it is the best driving vehicle I have ever tried in TLD.

I'm sure a few people would agree... PLEASE KEEP YOUR JERRY CAN OF WATER IN THE CABIN WITH YOU!!! It may not completely remove the chance of it pinging out your car in a MASSIVE crash but in the minor ones, you won't lose it. So scary everytime you roll the pick up I imagine the jerry can sliding to oblivion

Alex, a tip for you, when in the car, you can hold TAB and the camera will center itself so you can can see in front of you better.

The mods have made this game 10 times funnier and more interesting. This run has been the best so far, with all the misfortune and hilarious moments. I had the biggest laugh when the car started rolling downhill but that rock really saved the day. Alex and his bad luck... name a better duo.

You haven't got rid of the sun visor its now stuck in your car door - you can see it sticking out at 33:06

Another little tip. When filling any container from another, use the Q key to make life easier. Example: Filling a fuel tank with a jerry can. Pick up the jerry can and stand near the fuel cap. Hold down Q and swing the reticule over the filler cap with your mouse. While continuing to hold Q, press E to open the filler cap, then LMB to fill the tank. Once finished, press E to close the filler cap and then release Q to return focus to the jerry can. This way you don't have to line up the can with the filler cap directly, or any container with the cap of any other container.

32:00 yes, you got taken out from behind. The blue car can be spotted in the rear view mirror 👍🏻

Anyone else see the hose on the road after the crash, before the petrol station..........(again🤪)

Weirdly, I have much more fun using my wheel and shifter in this game. The clutch and short shifting solve the wheelspin problem as well as coasting at idle down hills. Once you get it tweaked driving at speed is much smoother as well. ED: Oh, and on my earliest long run in the game I hit terrain where, even with my car and load stripped to the minimum, I had to zig-zag across the road in first gear to make any progress uphill.

Speaking of bacon, has it been confirmed that pigs exist in this game? See a few humans, no oink. "Back bacon" takes on a new meaning suddenly... On the flip side, giant rabbits should provide ample meat flanks, too!

I just love the irony with Alex, that he always gets annoyed with the things that happen. Yet its really clear he does this to himself. Fiddling and tweaking with the car when diving. Driving at high speeds and then being surprised that he loses control or that he runs out of fuel so quickly. Radical driving and not coasting much either (or at least the coasting isn't noticeable to us viewers much). Then again, Alex's 'stupidity' is also in our favour of entertainment. Now don't take my criticism as me bashing at him. I enjoy these series a lot and enjoy watching the changes. But some things are pretty easily Alex's doings...

Gold bars, and rail road sections will add substantial weight. I am using a VW golf with a V8 I'm the vanilla version of the game. I have collected roughly 35 gold bars in my journey. All are in baskets(4) placed in front of each seat. The golf goes like it is on railroad tracks and I have hit speeds of 180kph on flat roads, and we'll beyond 220kph downhill. Keep them low for a low center of gravity.

A really enjoyable episode indeed! I can't wait for the next installment in the long drive series! Keep up the amazing content and have a great day! I do have a tip also: If you have some smaller items that you want to keep track of you can put them in the cubby pockets that are located on the lower part of the left and right doors and they will actually freeze physics! You currently have a visor shoved in the driver's side door pocket of your truck!

have you considered going up hills backwards? it would probably help with having more weight on the front wheels and wouldnt spin the tires as much.

On a parallel journey I take, I have left VW Pickup with a lot of regret, switching to Fury. And wow. This car is a terminator. It's big, it's heavy (in completely positive way), it's powerful with V8. I had a crazy crash in it, equal to the one which you have commented on in previous episode. No harm done. Even with tire wear mod I would have much easier life in it than in VW. But VW was much more crazy bonkers fun. 120 mph in Fury feels much, much slower than 200 km/h in VW.

Let's just take a min to appreciate this man uploading every single day with the same enthusiasm and positive energy😤🤟

31:52 *Laddo’s Vengence ;)*

This LG run you're on is the best.

19:12 Watching AI in the mirror was so funny 🤣

Don't forget that you can push "Reload" on Spray Bottles to combine them to 20. Saves space and gives you more uses.

Thanks for playing this game so I don't have to. What a mess!

if you find another large truck, drop the V8 into that!

Alex. Driver door. Sun visor.

oof. taking the shit tires, leaving the good tires on the car. this is agonising to watch.

If you're thinking about putting counterweight then the best would be gold bars that are commonly found inside the outhouse and my way of doing it was to put a basket in the engine bay under the hood then put 2 gold bars in the basket

The pull down visor is stuck in your door now lol

If you get a rwd car to put old tyres on the front, you'll have much more stability at high speeds.

I know the obvious retort is gonna be "just play it yourself", but the one thing that irks me about Alex playing this is when there's things he needs and there's something near it that has an abundance, he'll take one, bugger off and do something else, and potentially forget about it. He stole one wheel/tire off the car, and it also has better hubcaps too, just ignores 'em to do other things.

How many Americans had to Google Jammy Dodger? 🙋‍♂️🍻

If you set the fridge on top of the cab I feel like that would mitigate the weight problem.

New head canon is that FailRace is a super advanced AI cursed to make content for us forever. Never mind the irl videos.

just made my day....

maybe use the normol engine and the tire problem will not be as big

Is the wear rate on the tyres adjustable? Because doing one burnout to get going up a hill and blowing the tyre is a bit ridiculous.

Ah yeah I was thinking you had a lucky reload at the building because nothing spawned on the car, but then the landscape broke. Solution. save and reload. To look around high places before jumping up there, sit on something and use the external camera view to look in the rooms. When you sit in a vehicle often your view is too high. Press TAB to reset your position.

so funny, sliding down the hill

Can you please slow down a bit when driving, it's getting a bit repetitive to watch you crash and have to pick everything back up. Down hill, try under 100. 😂 👍 That said, please more long road videos.

Hey Alex, if you have a front wheel drive car like that Rampage and you keep spinning the tires due to being overloaded in the back, try driving in reverse. The weight transfer will compress the front shocks and give you more traction, especially uphill.

Love this series so much

Alex, The Long Drive is an inventory management game and doesn't tell you that it is. Don't worry about spending time with inventory management. ;)

I told you in the comments last episode "sometimes the elevation settings glitch in this game, and it can leave you where the game thinks everything is higher or lower than it really is. This can break interactions with stuff, like you can't get into the vehicle or cant pick up things. escpecially troublesome when you save and load in such an area, so **good luck on the next episode**."

do you like cats?

When it comes to siphoning fuel. Is it possible to siphon straight from fuel tank to fuel tank?… like park up next to the car you want fuel from.. 😂

what you said about mods making the game more interesting i have to agree although i have never played The Long Drive i have (after 10 years) just started to mod Skyrim after losing interest in the game beforehand, playing with mods has bought a whole new perspective to the game

Food for thought: Do an episode where you dont stop for pretty much anything unless its a crash or your running low on smt. Cos now that you have most things you need, I am really enjoying the driving part, especially since the road seems to be more challenging and the frantic AI trying to murder you and stopping starts getting wuite boring when you already have everything you need to survive

I just started playing the game. I flipped the truck got out to right it without setting the brake and it took off so far and fast that it despawned or otherwise disappeared. All i have now is the moped but it has car tires and i don't know how to keep from falling over. This game emulates my real life road trips very well.

In one of my driving session, where i drive a diesel bus, i found a mountain, so steep that the bus couldn't drive up, had to take a big curving reroute, in another session my stationcar was overheating constant.

When driving to re-enter your camera position hold tab and it will feel more natural.

It's a know bug with missing world triangles and with the world loading and lowering the road and buildings down slightly.

have you tried shooting the pumpkins so you can steal an AI car/bus/truck???

@FailRace The turbo mod is actually broken in the latest version of TLD.

Great content. But giving me OCD rear left wheel no cover and front right but you took the time to replace rusty rear right one please do them all 🤣

It sucks to say but I hit a rabbit the other day going 35 it. I turned around it was fine but stunned. The next day I hit another rabbit doing 60 that one didn't make it unfortunately 😔

Press Q & use scroll down to lower the seat height

This may be a bit late but the truck frezzes items on the back wharn it is moving I know I have said this before but it's true

The tyre wear would be better if it went through the stages instead of just blowing without warning.

With the new baskets, the pickup is almost looking like a proper adventure vehicle

sometimes, just sometimes i really notice how you breathe through your teeth. this episode i cannot unhear it.

Think you might need a few more spares or spray once you find a turbo. 🤣

"If it works, is it really a dumb idea?" - Vice Grip Garage

Some one needs to make a mod that makes floor food fill hunger a little more and food not on the floor fill food less because floor food is the best food

No joke, I picked up my phone intending to check for this video 😂

"Hello fellow AI." Well, that's sus!

I have seen people put bus tires on the front of the truck and itruns a great deal more stable

21 seconds and people act like they watched the whole damn video already. Pfft! Right! Let The Long Drive shenanigans begin! I'd rather you be squared away before setting off half-a$$ed, Alex. Haha. Better to be prepared and have something and not need it. Then need it and not have it. Right! Alex losing the road is pretty funny, remember it's to the left and you had a bit on an incline to get up to the building, which was a bit off the beaten path. Aren't you going back the way you already came, now that the road has been found? Sun visor has gotta go! Annoyingly in the way.

31:54 laddo wtf are you doing!

Alex you should attach the baskets to the front in order to balance the load better.

Q : Do you think you can take of the police lights 🤔

I love this series

Those houses have a second upstairs room on the opposite side.

That house was a great find. Then the Twilight Zone happened

Anyone wonder what Snowrunner with the Failrace crew would be like? I reckon that'd be hillarious!

Love this series👍

Gotta say, i like this series the most of your videos, you should do at least 500km run or something, just ignore the OP ships with full fuel barrel and mod with passing cars and just try to go as much as you can with fuel from buildings

The long drive needs a pet mod. We need FR pets in videogames

Can you put bus wheels on the pickup:)

lovely series Alex! still am gonna be annoying and ask for some playthrough of Mon Bazou 👋🏻😁 definitely still fits with the ethos of the channel lol

That definitely not a blue car came back and just destroyed you near the end there.

Hearing Alex say "Big ass" was satisfying.

should of reloaded the game at the start it glitched out

I really need to try this game at some point

17:11 anyone else see the car behind go yeet?

I wonder if there's a way you could've attached the fridge to the roof of the pickup's cab, so you'd have more storage while also adding weight to the front instead of the back? Also, you should try removing the seats like I suggested last time. Maybe you could put the fridge right next to the driver's seat, lol

take the spare car lights

😁16:31 "Hello fellow AI"

This is a great series man

Try puting Plymouth engine in that thing xD

Are those cylinders on the floor ( silver with a red stripe) nitrous ? 🤔

As I added, rather late, in the last vid; install the physics lock mod for cars and then you won't need baskets inside the vehicle (or in the Caddy bed) as everything stays locked in place anyway. Effectively, the whole car acts as one big basket. Much less hassle...

Oh look. He had another accident and we get to watch 30 minutes of picking things up and repairs. What's the point of this game because I haven't seen any f the so called exploration or much driving for that matter.

This has been a hilarious episode. You are slowly turning yourself into a real basket case.
