Actually, lots of kids play with toy cranes and all that sort off stuff, so i can imagine kids really liking the ability to hoist stuff virtually.

I really enjoy simulators, i dont know why, but i find it a challenge to know certain systems and procedures inside out, the thrill you get when perfectly setting up a torpedo, and then sinking that pesky warship in silent hunter is fantastic. Although i can also see a lot of people not wanting that kind of depth in a game.

As a German, I really don’t know…I have played my fair share of sims, like the excellent Pizza Conncetion that included the possibility to run into your competitor’s Pizzeria with a flame thrower, or Tropico where my island contained missile batteries of the Eastern and the Western bloc, probably due to my post-war education. Simulations of vehicles never attracted me though, I found them boring, with the only exception being sub sims because of the excellent multiplayerability. And I actually never knew a lot of people who play this kind of games. I think these companies have just found a niche in the market, a sector that is obscure, but with a devoted following. Assuming these games are not too complex, they could also be a very nice, exceedingly boring gift to children. Because some aunts and uncles still have to grapple with the concept that children like to maim mutants with a chainsaw machinegun, or a machinegun that shoots chainsaws, or something equally twisted. I still remember how my father gave me Sim City for C64 on my birthday. I was really mad and told him that everything not including killing people in gruesome ways, or at least animal cruelty, was considered boring and mundane, and two weeks later refusing to go to bed because the challenges of managing a multi million metropolis under attack from Godzilla and UFOs would just not stop.

Yes, but it looks like there are 2 pieces on the trailer that ae highlighted, but its actually one piece, this confused me for a while, since i was aiming at the presumed 2 pieces.

@Toastmonster

A few pointers. Once you’ve located the first piece of wall on the back of the lorry (corners highlighted with yellow and red lines) manouvere your hook over it so that the four chains dangle a few metres above the load. If you’re in roughly the right spot the chains will automatically spread towards the corners of the load. PageDown till the chains touch the corners of the load and the ‘attach’ icon will appear. Now press SPACE to hook-up.

The reason why civilian transport sims go down so well in Germany and Japan is a question that’s long fascinated me.

I think there’s probably an element of national character in it. Train, bus, dustcart sims…. they all appeal to the industrious, and order-loving parts of us.

Maybe it also owes something to a post-war education/parenting climate that deliberately sidelined militarism. Generations of boys brought up with toy buses and lorries rather than toy tanks and soldiers.

Any German or Japanese readers care to theorize?

Because germans like to make simulators that are out of the ordinary?
