Some things I have found helpful for Truck Simulation Part 4

 Wouldnt it be nice to be able to launch all the apps you need for Truck Simulators and hop in the game and go.  I find that I have a tendency to get in the game and realize something was missed.  To help with that I created a simple batch.  This script  launches all the apps I use when I'm running American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.   The concept is very simple and easy to cater to your system.  The key to success is the syntax used.  Lets review my script. You can see that I am launching 5 applications total.  These are the ones I use when I play ATS or ETS2.  We have Simhub for my dashboards, HWinfo64 to report all that temp stats of my PC.  We have open track for our headtracking, steam of course or the game.  Last we have my Radeon Software for my Graphics Card.  You can change what is between the quotes and add what ever application you like.   start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SimHub\SimHubWPF.exe" start "" "C:\Program Files

Let's build a PC for Truck Simulators

  Hello and welcome.  Today I will be building out my new Truck Simulator PC.  Now don't get me wrong this PC will be able to play most if not all current driving simulators.  So whether you like American Truck Simulator or Asseto Corsa you should have a great experience.  I personally play on triple monitors and for 1080p its smooth as butter.  So lets review what we are replacing.   Gigabyte A320m SH2 Motherboard Ryzen 5 1600af  16gb Corsair Vengeance 2666mhz  XFX RX580 XXX GTS 8gb This PC served me well. I built it just at the start of COVID and it was for work and light play.  I was able to begin to see how awesome triple screen gaming was.  I had briefly visited triple screens may years ago when I had two HD 4870s in crossfire.. but that was sometime ago. So I say good bye old friend you have served me well.  Don't worry you will be repurposed Now on to the new. I spent a good amount of time combing the internet and all the best places for info.  Youtube, Reddit forums etc
