3. Click "Load profile".
4. You begin in the Company Admin menu. This is where you manage your
transport company.
5. Now change to "Jobs List".

the job/contract that yields the most revenue with the least cost. You must first
find out which jobs are suitable for your vehicles. To do this you must select a
job from the list and display the details (arrow button at the end of the entry).
7. The details provide you with important information about the job. Here you
will find a list of vehicles that can be used for that job. If you do not have a
suitable vehicle you must purchase one from the vehicle market.
8. Since you do not have a vehicle, purchase a suitable vehicle for the job
from the Vehicle Market. Select the desired model and decide how it is to be
equipped (gearbox and colour). Then click "Purchase vehicle". Now select
one of your depots where you wish to locate your newly purchased vehicle.
Initially you only own one depot.
9. Return to the Jobs List. The list displays all jobs/contracts that can be dealt
with by the vehicle you have just purchased. Select a job and then on the Job
Details screen click the arrow symbol next to the vehicle (to the right of the
job's details).
10. The game world will now load and you will find yourself at your depot
sitting in your vehicle. Drive off (you can use the arrow keys). Pressing 1 or 2
or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 will change your view.
11. You can see the schedule below right. Above you will find a map that can
be toggled on and off by pressing the M key and enlarged by pressing the N
key. Press the space bar to open the action menu where you can command
your vehicle. You can change key assignments and assign any new key
combinations to game play actions in the menu that appears after pressing
the ESC key.

conditions easier to handle; e.g., you can reset your vehicle and continue
driving after an accident.

The Game

Quick start
Information on the most important game elements are summarised here.

Vehicle fleet
The vehicles are the main element of the game. Altogether there are ten
different models in various designs available to you. In addition to small
delivery trucks, larger trucks are also available so that you are able to meet all
the requirements of the transport business. In the vehicle fleet screen, you
can see all of the vehicles you have purchased from the vehicle market.

The following functions for the vehicles are available:

- Repair vehicle
- Refuel vehicle
- Sell vehicle
- Relocate vehicle to another depot: relocate your vehicle to another
depot so that it is nearer to any lucrative jobs
- Modify vehicle: repaint the vehicle or replace the gearbox with a new one
- Rename vehicle

Depots
A depot serves as your base and provides parking spaces for your vehicles.
You begin with a depot in the industrial area and can open further depots in
other areas of the town. You can move your vehicles between depots in order
for them to be nearer to the most lucrative jobs.

You can expand your depots:

- additional parking space allows you to maintain a larger vehicle fleet
- adding a petrol station or garage to the depot enables your vehicles to be
repaired without being reliant on other companies

Jobs List
Jobs have a start and an end point. You decide the route yourself. The
payment and description of the various jobs are displayed on the screen. Click
"Accept job!" to accept the job/contract.

Section 7: In-game Displays and Controls

7.1 Vehicle Displays

The most important vehicle displays are shown on the lower left edge of the
screen. Speed, time and selected gear are all displayed on the far left of the
screen. All functions that are seen on the dashboard are displayed on the bar
to the right: headlights and turn indicators, handbrake status and battery, oil
and fuel tank as well as current weather warnings such as icy roads.

Job-specific details are displayed on the right edge of the screen. The type of
order, the quantity and payment to be expected after successful completion
are displayed here.

The route for your job and every individual waypoint are listed below that. The
grey-highlighted entry is the active task. Already completed entries are not
displayed.

Page 8 - Delivery Truck Simulator

The mini map is important for planning your route and can be opened by
pressing "M" on the keyboard. The vehicle is represented on the map by a
large red arrow. The linear distance to the next pick-up point is displayed on
the map by a yellow line. The choice of route is up to you.

Pick-up points are indicated by a red circle. The active waypoints of a delivery
route are highlighted in colour. You must stop at these points during the job.

The map overview shows a larger part of the game world so that you can
obtain a better overview of the game world, or the entire route. The map
overview can be toggled on and off by pressing "N" on the keyboard. You can
use the mouse to move the map overview and the mouse wheel for zooming
in or out. The main elements of the map overview match those in the mini
map.

Page 9 - Delivery Truck Simulator

7.2 The Spacebar Menu / Action Menu
The design concept of Delivery Truck Simulator allows you to keep the entire
vehicle under control with the minimum number of clicks. Press the spacebar
to display the Action menu.

You can then simply use the mouse, arrow keys and spacebar to perform
actions or the specified shortcut keys. If you want to change a camera view for
example, press the spacebar and select "2" to change to third person view.

As soon as a shortcut key is specified for an action, you can perform the
action without opening the action menu. All other key assignments that are
important for the current gameplay mode are shown on the Actions menu.

It won't take you long to become completely familiar with the operation of your
vehicle. Of course, if you prefer not to go through the menus, you can assign
all functions to keys of your choice.

7.4 Speed Limiter and Cruise Control

You set a speed limit or switch on cruise control during the journey. Press the
right CTRL key on the keyboard (default assignment). Even when the speed
limiter has been switched on, you still press the accelerator but you will not
drive faster than the speed limit set. For example, if you set the speed limit to
50 km/h within town, you can press the accelerator as much as you like
(except when the speed restriction is 30) and you will not be fined for
speeding.

Use cruise control to hold the desired speed without having to press the
accelerator. Cruise control is deactivated by briefly tapping the brake.

Speed limits and cruise control can be adjusted by pressing SHIFT together
with accelerator/brake keys.

7.5 Jobs
You will find jobs in the jobs list. There are delivery and pick-up jobs. You
drive to a customer and park where indicated and then load the goods (either

Page 12 - Delivery Truck Simulator

automatically or manually). Having collected the goods for delivery you must
drive them to their destination and unload or deliver them.

You will find in Delivery Truck Simulator a large variety of customers (and their
goods) to keep happy (and safe).

7.6 Free Play Mode

You can drive your vehicles around the game world without any pressure on
your time in Free Play mode.

7.7 Parking Spaces

If you want to leave your vehicle in order to get into another vehicle, you must
park it in a parking space first. The parking spaces can be found in your
depots (marked blue). It is recommended to leave your vehicles at different
depots so that when you have a new job to do you have a vehicle close to the
where the job will be done.

7.8 Refuelling a Vehicle

Just as in the real world, your vehicle consumes fuel. There are two ways of
refuelling your vehicles in the game. Either fill the tank in the Admin menu
under "Vehicle fleet" or drive into one of the petrol stations that are located at
various places in the game world. In order to fill up the tank, you must drive
onto the blue area next to the petrol pump and press "Refuel".

Petrol stations are shown by the petrol station symbol in the map overview
("N" key).
