Driving a big rig down an American highway into the sunset without John Denver’s Country Roads on the radio just wouldn’t be same’. ‘Everyday our team work hard to contribute to creating an immersive driving experience for all to enjoy. Without their dedication of time and their talents, TruckersFM wouldn’t exist.’ says Alex, one of the station’s founding members. ‘It’s our volunteer team who really make this station what it is today. The technical and operational knowledge to make sure everything works is one thing, but it’s a strong team of dedicated individuals who truly bring the station to life. Large-scale Internet radio stations like Truckers.FM require a lot of work and labour to set up and keep running. Just like what you would find in the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Truckers.FM brings truck sim players a radio station tailored to the best driving experience possible. Featured by the developers of popular truck driving simulators Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, and available to listen to in-game, is Truckers.FM, a radio station created by the community of the game, for the community. Most game studios will have their own music written and composed to be played throughout their storyline, but one gaming community has taken it upon themselves to bring their own soundtrack to their favourite game. From the tense battle music that plays in Pokémon Blue when you meet a challenger to the legendary, orchestral themes of Halo, these soundtracks bring video games to life and fill them with emotion. Since the beginning of video game history, music and sound have always played an incredibly important role in transporting players into an immersive world that surrounds their character. A reader speaks to the dedicated fans who ensure that Euro Truck Simulator 2 and its sister title have their own live radio station.
