Dino Transport Simulator

Behind the premise this is a load-stability job. Caged animals sit high on the trailer, which raises the centre of gravity and lowers the speed at which a corner becomes a rollover — noticeably lower than the cab alone suggests. There is usually a condition score on arrival as well as a clock, so the two objectives pull against each other and the honest answer is that the clock is the easier one to satisfy. Straight-line braking before turns, gentle throttle out of them, and treating ramps and level changes as the real hazards rather than the corners is what gets a full trailer to the destination.

This title is best suited to players who like cargo-stability driving and do not mind a slow pace enforced by the load.

1. Finish all braking before the turn begins; a high load under braking mid-corner is the rollover case.
2. Corner well below the speed the cab could manage on its own.
3. Ease onto the throttle when leaving a turn rather than opening it fully.
4. Slow for ramps and level changes — vertical movement unsettles a tall load more than lateral does.

• Arrow keys or WASD to drive
• Camera key to inspect the trailer

Objectives

• Deliver the animals to the destination in acceptable condition
• Complete the route inside the time allowance

The run ends or fails when

• Rolling the trailer
• Arriving with cargo condition below the job threshold
• Exceeding the route time limit

• Raised centre of gravity from a tall caged load
• Cargo condition scored separately from arrival time
• Articulated trailer behaving independently of the cab
• Terrain elevation changes affecting load stability more than cornering does

• The trailer height, not the engine, sets your cornering limit. Judge speed by what is stacked behind you.
• Ramps are where full trailers are lost. Approach any elevation change slower than the flat road before it.
• If the two objectives conflict, protect the cargo. Arriving late usually scores better than arriving with a failed load.
