American Long Haul
Your American Dream Starts Behind the Wheel of Your Own Big Rig!

18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul is the latest in the truck simulation games series for Windows PC developed by SCS Software, and published and distributed by ValuSoft, a division of THQ Inc.

 

North America’s open roads await! You ain't working for the Man any more! You're the owner of your own trucking business and you call the shots.

Build your empire one rig at a time to dominate the roadways and outbid the competition. Can you handle the pressure? Your American Dream starts behind the wheel of your own big rig.
Bid – May the best man win. Do you take what the company is bidding for a job or do you move on and lose valuable time? Remember – Profit is King!
Haul – Start behind the wheel transporting 45+ types of cargo including livestock, chemicals, and mobile homes, cross country to bring in the big bucks.
Handle – These beasts don’t drive themselves! Back up to loading docks, manage your fuel, and maintain your trucks in peak condition.
Dominate – Move it better and faster than your competition. Build your reputation coast to coast as you long haul across 48 states, Canada and now Mexico!
Grow - Build your business and add rigs to your fleet. Own up to 37 mammoth machines and trailers.

That's not all. You are now also able to pick a redneck female driver as your player.
Also, they redid the sky and some of the land textures (though they still look like shit)
They added school buses and firetrucks on the roadways as well.

What is the point of this fucking game if there is no AI competition?
Drive for the sake of driving?

I don't see one new feature in this release except the fact that the traitorous North American Union is now complete and modeled in the game.Rig N Roll whenever and if ever it comes out will stop the boredom and thankfully add a story to the mix.

Hopefully it will be better, yes.

I'd love if "Euro Truck Simulator" will be good too, but if I'm right, it wont.. since its made by scs, so its probably just haulin with euro trucks and map.

I hate you.

Although I have no desire to upgrade from Hauling at this time due to the lack of mod support with ALH at this time, I noticed a release floating around called "18.Wheels.of.Steel.American.Long.Haul-ice187" ... Anyone know if its a fake or not?

My fucking Advance Time button doesn't seem to work as sleep anymore.

In Haulin' I could just stop dead in the middle of the highway, neglect to turn on my 4 way flashers or even use the parking break, advance time 8 hours and get rid of the "drowsy" black-screen.
Now, it seems the only way to rest is via hotel.

Anyone else have this problem? Er maybe its because I started on hard instead of medium? Either way, such a pointless game, but there is absolutely jack shit else to play right now - its gotten so bad I've resorted to this Sad

Listen, don't judge me! Very Happy

I was in the mood to play a "sim". I tried to buy Lock On: Flaming Cliffs, but Eagle Dynamics resorted to using some queer UK Payment system ProtX, which promptly told my American Visa to fuck off. Thus, I queued up Flight Simulator 10 + Xpack (13 gigs) and needed something to do in the meantime.

See, I have an excuse Smile

In hard mode you got a truck with no sleeper.
You need a truck with a bed in the back to sleep.
Or do it the easy way, set fatigue to 0 in the config file.. no more sleep Wink

I hate you.

Id like to see that USA3 Map for haulin converted to ALH...

But alot of the modders are ticked off that ALH was released as a game instead of an upgrade patch since its basically Haulin with two new trucks and mexico complimented with a few bug fixes... Alot of them are boycotting thier mods being used on ALH.. Rolling Eyes
