Truck & Logistics Simulator is Steam Deck Verified!
With our most recent update the Summer Update we have optimized Truck & Logistics Simulator to provide a great experience on the Steam Deck.
The new “Official Control Layout” allows these options;
Manual Transmission
You can now drive with Manual Transmission on steam deck! Just switch the transmission option and use L4 / R4 buttons for Gearshifting.
Gryoscope - Accelerometer
Interested to try steering your vehicle with tilting the Steam Deck? Switch the “Steering Method” to “Controller Tilt” and you can steer all vehicles by tilting the steam deck!
You can use Steam Decks gyro to rotate the camera. Only works when holding the right side capacitive buttons.
An alternative way of rotating the camera is using the right touchpad. Clicking the touchpad resets the camera.
Cruise Control
L5 / R5 buttons can be used for cruise control.
Battery Life
To have a longer battery life, you can try limiting the FPS and also reducing the Graphics Level to Medium or Low.
