Get out and back in
The door opens and closes with sound and your driver leaves the cab: the seat stays empty while you walk. Get back in at the driver's door and they are behind the wheel again.
Step out of the cab and walk in first person.
What you get
Park, pull the parking brake and get out. Walk around the yard, check the trailer, refuel at the pump and climb back in through the driver's door, while the traffic around you knows you are there.

First-person camera with responsive mouse look, a light head bob and walking and running speeds you can tune.
AI cars see you on the road: they slow down and stop before reaching you, and drive on once you step aside.
Built with the game's own lighting, like the truck headlights: it lights walls, trailers and tall objects, and never the sky.
You bump into your truck, the trailer, walls and objects, keep a small distance from them and slide along walls instead of getting stuck.
The game's own prompts keep working while you walk: refuel at the pump, rest, use the service shop or visit a dealer.
GPS, finances, speed and mirrors hide while you walk and come back exactly as they were. Press H to hide the shortcut panel too.
An in-game menu in English and Portuguese with your keys, speeds and mouse settings, plus a button that checks for a new version.
Works in your career and in Convoy, the official multiplayer, with no extra setup. Your settings are the same in both.
Rules of the road
The mod keeps it realistic. These are the only conditions to leave the cab.
