The trailer used is the b-double from halmqvist.

This video tries to enlighten a bit those who still feel confused about how to back up a b-double. I still don't master the technique at all, but I did my best to do a backing where you could see how it works. Then it's up to you to practice and play, and of course deal with other positions, as reversing is not always as easy as in this case. But hey, if you know the basics, you only have to practice.

I usually use interior view, but for doubles I just can't, because you don't see the trailers at all. In real life you can take your head out of the window or move it so you see more in the mirror, but in this game you just can't see the second trailer sometimes, so to do it better, I recommend outside view.


The music is from "Gone in 60 seconds".
First song is Bad Karma (ZzHck3YI3xA) and second one is Moby Flower (hJkm5R40Hj0)

hi ill be sure too remember that when i get the confidence too tow double =D

oh and by the way is the freightliner argossy an in-game truck or a download

@chops5845 If I recall correctly, the truck is in stock game. About the doubles, the game includes doubles but are much shorter. These on the video are a download. Also, game uses double, while this is a b-double.

@andrei13mo I'm glad it helped. Thanks for comment, appreciated.

does this work in real life?

[Irreo]

@NBertuzzi The basic theory about the physics on how to move the cab and trailers is the same in real life. However, some trucks are not recommended to "bend" so much. You can check this video to see a real b-double twisting, and the cab dancing around: watch?v=uL0mUcN3sh8

I also posted a "parody" video reply, trying to do the same movements in game and see what happened. The result was basically the same.

If only we could watch from the outside while parking in real life!
