Developing software is mostly fun, but it also takes up nearly all of my spare time. If you find FireCapture useful and would like to support me in continuing development you're welcome to donate a small amount of your choice.
In the original, the "simulation" was largely mathematical—calculating fuel usage and fatigue timers—rather than physics-based. The low system requirements allowed for this mathematical simulation to occur without the need for heavy physics calculations that would strain the CPUs of the era. The jump in requirements between ETS1 and ETS2 marks the industry-wide shift from single-core reliance to multi-threaded processing and the explosion of VRAM usage due to high-definition texturing.
you have any computer from the last 8 years. ETS2’s minimum requirements are only slightly higher (dual-core 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB GPU) and it is infinitely better.
For players looking to experience the roots of the series, the following specifications outline the standard performance tiers: Minimum Requirements Recommended Requirements Operating System Windows XP / Vista Windows XP / Vista 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent Memory (RAM) 512 MB (XP) / 1 GB (Vista) 2 GB (XP) / 2.5 GB (Vista) Graphics Card GeForce 4 (not MX) / ATI Radeon 8500 GeForce 6 / ATI Radeon 9800 Version 9.0 Version 9.0 600 MB - 2 GB free space 600 MB - 2 GB free space Euro Truck Simulator on Steam
Because ETS 1 is primarily CPU-bound (single-core speed), a laptop with a high clock speed (e.g., 2.5 GHz+) will outperform an old desktop with a slow multi-core CPU. However, note that the game does support battery optimizations well. Always play with your laptop plugged in to avoid severe throttling.
While Euro Truck Simulator 2 is technically superior in every way, the original game offers a nostalgic, simplified charm. It features a unique career progression and a map that includes countries like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. It’s a great way to see how far the "Prism3D" engine has come over the last decade and a half.
Released in 2008, the original Euro Truck Simulator (often called ETS 1) has very modest system requirements by modern standards. It was designed to run on Windows XP and Vista, though it can still be played on newer versions of Windows through compatibility modes. Minimum System Requirements

It was back in 2008 when I got hold of a SONY newsletter announcing a new CCD sensor (ICX618) which promised fantastic sensitivity. Still working with an old webcam those days I instantly had the idea of replacing the webcam sensor with the new SONY sensor. It took weeks and dozens of emails to get the confidential spec of the new sensor. When I saw the sensitivity values it was clear: I had to have this sensor! The Basler Scout scA640 was the first machine vision camera on the market using this sensor and when I bought it the nightmare began: the included software was useless for planetary imaging and running the camera with the VRecord webcam tool was a complete PITA. Bugged by the inability to store even the basic camera settings I decided developing my own capture software.
What started as a solely private project soon turned into higher gear when fellow astronomers saw the software and insisted on getting it. I decided to make it public, included new camera interfaces and after years of continuous development FireCapture has evolved to one of the leading planetary capture tools. Developing the thing is only one part of the story: with a supportive community of users behind me I always had the feeling of someone 'looking over my shoulder' during the countless hours of programming. I can't mention all but just want to say:
Thank you guys !
