FAQ

SpedV records the petrol stations for all maps without any further assignment.
If gas stations are very close together in 2 maps, they will be recognized as one in the system.
However, the maps often have different fuel prices at the petrol stations.
So it will show that the fuel originally costs €1.35 in Hamburg on the ets2 vanilla map and €1.28 on the ProMods map.
This means that the last price entered is always displayed, which is then correct for the respective map – but since you are then travelling on a different map version, it no longer is the same.

Trusted User

Trusted users are users appointed by the SpedV team who can set fuel prices.
If you enter a different price later, the change will apply to you, but the next user will still see the old price again.
Only other trusted users can overwrite the fuel prices after they have filled up at least 400 liters.
If you want to be a trusted user, contact our support!

It is not a harassment from our side if you get into the so-called “Cooldown” and have to wait until the next order start. Here you can get more information about the Cooldown:

Here is a small overview of the costs that a company has in SpedV:

🔗

The Real Economy mode is intended for the trucking companies that want to use the simulators in a truly realistic way.

Hereby there are some differences in the economic system that lead to a different gaming experience, as much more attention has to be paid to expenses. Even the drivers get a more realistic experience of the profession “truck driver”.

• Lower costs
  • The branch rents are only a quarter as high as in normal mode.
  • The vehicle maintenance costs are a fifth as high as in normal mode.
  • The rental costs for non-purchased truck are fixed at 35 ct/km for each truck type, instead of between 3.57 €/km and 6.75 €/km in normal mode
• But there are some restrictions
  • From 20% damage upwards (instead of from 25%) the tour is worth nothing.
  • The maximum value is 4 €/km (or 8 $/mi) (instead of 125 €/km or 250 $/mi)
• In the statistics, the companies are listed separately

To make sure you also have compatible orders in ETS and ATS, we, or better adi2003de, have prepared a mod for you, which is also automatically kept up to date:

• Euro Truck Simulator 2
• American Truck Simulator

Two restrictions apply: only complete companies can be in Real Eco mode, and using multiplayer is no longer possible.

Normal mode remains available, use of Real Eco mode is voluntary, but cannot be reversed.

When converting from normal to real-eco mode, all trucks and branches are sold and the forwarding account is set to 0€.

Note: Virtual drivers employed in the game drive in quite fast negative values. So it makes little sense to hire some.

To install the latest version, quit ETS/ATS and start Telemetry via SpedV.

Then click on “Telemetry (neu) installieren” and follow the instructions.

Then restart the game and SpedV, after which the error message should no longer occur. When starting the game, please make sure that a message on “Request to use advanced SDK features” appears and confirm with “OK”.

🔗

You can solve the telemetry problems as follows:

1. Close everything (ETS2, ATS, Telemetry, SpedV)
   Because of Telemetry also please check in the task manager if there is still something running in the background
2. In the path ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\plugins check if there is something with “ets2 telemetry” or “SpedV telemetry” in it.
   If yes, then delete.
   Do the same in ...\win_x86\plugins as well as ATS under ...\Steam\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator\bin\... in both folders.
3. SpedV Via Steam => ...\Steam\steamapps\common\FPH SpedV
   SpedV via website => C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\SpedV
   Depending on the installation at the above paths delete the folder “Telemetry”.
4. Restart SpedV.
5. Start Telemetry and install.
   Possible messages can be confirmed with OK without further attention to get.
6. In SpedV top right click on the button ETS/ATS and check whether the IP is 127.0.0.1. This should only be different if SpedV is not running on the same PC as ETS2/ATS

After that, everything should work.

If you have newly created a freight forwarding company and want to invite some friends to join, you should note the following so that your freight forwarding company is visible to other users in the “Application” tab:

1. Drive an task via SpedV, this can also be an inner city tour.
2. Complete and deduct it, after that others can see your company.

🔗

To find out your task ID, click on Tasks.

There you can choose between user and company at the top and set a filter (start and destination time, or in the forwarder view also by user). The ID is now the number in the selection for each order.

For certain support tasks we need to identify you uniquely. For this purpose, we have integrated the so-called “Auth-Code” into the system. This allows us to quickly search for your username and identify you at the same time. Please keep the auth-code for yourself and do not pass it on!

You can find the auth code in the software. There you first have to click on your name in the upper right corner. This opens the view shown on the left.
Here you click on the red bordered area. The Auth-Code will be displayed and automatically copied to the clipboard.

If something was detected incorrectly by SpedV in your order, you have the option to upload a screenshot. However, we need a specific screenshot here.

When you have completed your job in ETS2/ATS, you will get a job summary. You can make a screenshot of this with F10 or F12. This can be found under “Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2 (or American Truck Simulator)/screenshot“. You can upload this screenshot in the order overview of the respective order or directly when submitting the order.

This is an example of a correct screenshot.

If you forget to take the screenshot, you can also use one from your career development if it is not about correcting a wrong damage.

The following screenshots are not helpful for us:

To apply updates and clean up accumulated cache, the server is generally restarted once a week, in the night from Thursday to Friday. Additionally, restarts for updates can be performed every night. Generally, a restart is always performed at 4:50 ME(S)Z. Exceptions to this are made for important bug fixes and security updates.

Please create your skin for this using our template. Here you can add three different skins: One for Double, one for B-Double and one for the standard trailer. Please use the respective layer with ST at the beginning as “drawing area” and do not remove the Kontor branding there! Attach this then (as PDN or PSD) to a software ticket and we will add it as soon as possible.

Please use only one layer per trailer skin!
