It must be your computer and just can't handle it. I too had the same problem, but then I downloaded swift shader and put it in my 18 WOS Extreme Trucker files and loaded the game up, boom! It is running rather smoothly.......A lag spike here in there but much improved from before. I am also running on a laptop, windows 7, with no other programs running.....Much more playable now!

Why do car wheels go fast when the car goes slow?

Optical illusion or possibly spinner wheels that are. Therir centers are freewheeeling.


Why are alloy wheels considered better than steel wheels in car?

Alloy wheels are significantly lighter than steel wheels. This provides a number of advantages: 1.) Lighter wheels follow the bumps of the road much better, especially at high speed. When a heavy wheel hits a bump, it takes more time for the wheel to return to the ground, this translates to less road grip. When a lighter wheel hits a bump, there's less mass so the car's suspension can return the wheel to the road much quicker. This translates to more grip because the wheels spends more time on the road. 2.) When accelerating or braking, the rotating energy of a wheel much be accounted for. A lighter wheel will spin up or slow down faster and with less force. There is a big difference in energy at 100kph between a 10lbs steel wheel versus a 6 lbs alloy wheel especially when considering a passenger car has 4 of these wheels.


How do brakes slow down a car?

The brake pads rub against your wheels(rotars) and creates more friction slowing the movement of the wheels.


Why does a fast car slow down if its switched off?

The wheels stop and the car loses momentum.


Why does it take longer for a train to slow down than an automobile?

A train, especially a freight train, is a massively heavy vehicle. The difference between stopping a car and a train could be compared to the difference between stopping a rolling golf ball and a rolling boulder. Each set of wheels on a train has it's own brakes, but still, because of the mass of the train, it takes considerably longer to slow a train down. Also, there is less friction on train wheels and track than there is between tire treads and roads. If all the wheels of a train were suddenly stopped and locked, the train would still skid for a very considerable distance on the steel wheels and track, ruining both. == ==


Do alloy wheels make a car go faster?

Depends on circumstances. First some Words. Alloy for metals simply means that the rims aren't made of a single substance. Strictly speaking even steel Wheels are Alloys since steel is an alloy of iron and coal, and small amounts of other stuff. "Alloy" Wheels are inacurrately used to describe Wheels usually made of Alloys mainly consisting of Aluminium or Magnesium. Rims made of aluminium Alloys usually end up a bit lighter than steel rims. For the same amount of horsepower, a lighter Wheel will spin up and slow down faster than a heavier Wheel. So it can make the car accelerate faster and brake faster. For a bendy course, it can make the car faster. But since it doesn't influence Rolling resistance, it doesn't influence top speed as such. Given enough straightaway to accelerate on, alloy or steel Wheels will give the same top speed.


Why is slow cycling difficult?

At speed the wheels act as gyroscopes, stabilizing the bike. But that effect doesn't become noticeable until the wheels have picked up a nice spin.


Why is it vital to have the wheels on a roller coaster to have low friction?

Low friction is very desirable for something such as a roller coaster car, that is intended to move very fast. Friction would slow it down, and would also generate a lot of heat, which might become so extreme as to start a fire. Wheels are not really the only option for friction reduction. For example, magnetic levitation gives even lower friction than wheels do. But it's too expensive a technique to use for a roller coaster.

How do the wheels on a steam train work?

The front ones help guide the loco into turns, the drive wheels move the whole train, and the trailing trucks hold up the firebox. Note that slow (switchers say) locos needed only drive wheels.
