Double Trailers in Truck World: Australia!

The first implementation features a double dump trailer, consisting of two trailers connected by a standard hitch. Want to use it as a single trailer? Go ahead. But the real magic happens when you hook up both trailers!

But remember, mastering double trailers requires skill. Taking turns is trickier since your tail always cuts inward. Plan your maneuvers carefully and leave extra space.

Revamped Control Settings

We’ve completely reworked the control system to make it as convenient and flexible as possible. Now the game automatically detects most popular steering wheels and gamepads. In most cases, you won’t need to configure anything—just plug in and hit the road!

But if you want to fine-tune everything to your preferences, we’ve created an intuitive setup wizard. It will guide you through the entire process step by step:

Choose Your Control Scheme:

Configuring the gearbox—choose between automatic, semi-automatic, or manual.

If you pick manual, you can also decide whether to use a clutch or not.

Advanced Configuration:

Adjust every axis and button in detail. Set inversions, dead zones, or calibrate controls exactly to your preferences.

Force Feedback Customization:

We’ve added a force feedback adjustment option. Since force feedback can vary widely across different wheels, you can now fine-tune it for the most comfortable and realistic driving experience.

Stay Tuned! This is just the beginning! We’re actively preparing for the upcoming demo, and there’s much more to come. Follow us on social media to stay up to date and make sure you don’t miss a thing. See you on the dusty roads of Australia!
