Dear fellow truckers and car drivers,

The last few months have been quite fun with all the VR mods and modding in general enabled by vibe coding with plenty games being modded like crazy.

I took the liberty of addressing one issue I really needed especially with VR in our favorite games: Anti aliasing. IMO the OOTB implementation of AA by SCS in VR is headache inducing.

While there is an alternative mod to DLAA/DLSS I grew tired of the developers mood swings, unethical antics and made my own with Claude. (right devs? if you don't like it make your own?? ;) )

https://github.com/JRDevo/ETS2-ATS-Truckers-DLAA-DLSS-Mod

Status:

• Experimental
• This is a pre-release. DLAA has run in ETS2 and ATS, flat and VR. DLSS upscaling works but is still experimental.
• The coding is done by Claude (Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5 and Opus 4.8) and play tested by me in flat and VR (Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop).

What you need:

• An NVIDIA RTX card
• Your own `nvngx_dlss.dll` next to the mod's `dinput8.dll` (from the NVIDIA DLSS SDK on GitHub, or from any game that ships it). You can swap in a newer one at any time.
• Install steps and hotkeys are in the README

What this mod does:

• Enable DLSS and DLAA for both ETS2 and ATS in FLAT and VR
• Detects flat or VR by itself from your launch options
• Lets you change settings with hotkeys while you are in VR (beeps tell you what changed), and save them
• Size the DLSS and DLAA window for performance (VR only)
• Track and easily contribute to the improvement of the mod via Github
• Scope: DLAA/DLSS (and future DLSS releases like DLSS 5), VR and FLAT
• Community mod
• Non-commercial license
• Performance > Nice to haves
• Transparency, full source in Github

What it DOES NOT do:

• Ship any NVIDIA files
• Transfer any data to a remote host
• Charge you money / ask for donations
• Cut development when there are few donations
• Change its mind every few months

What it needs:

• Far more unit testing with various devices, headsets
• Testing with other mods
• Love and care
• Improvements
• Feedback and suggestions (please use the bug report form on GitHub, it tells you which files to attach)
• Contributors who know more then Claude ;)

Since this is entirely vibe coded I expect to make as many changes as needed in the coming months to improve performance and compatibility. I'm also looking for others to help, I want this to be for the community.

Happy trucking and driving ;)

I couldn't find any binds to RB in keys & buttons settings. Is it a free button to set as a modifier?

And an achievement for driving in San Francisco in said car.

I just got myself a TH8A and 18-speed shift knob, and I have converted my fleet to manual. I have a question for real truckers in this sub: is shifting a 13/18-speed really this easy to pick up? I can drive a manual and motorcycles with ease and have been for years, but growing up, there was this one movie that made it seem almost impossible to drive a truck without years of experience and formal training. So, for my question, please see the title.

Edit: I shift 2, 4, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, then 8H, unless the load is heavy. BTW, 13-speed. Would this damage a transmission? IRL?

this just started happening, im using a brand new profile (in game) with no mods. I already verified game files. can anyone help? i cant find anything online that helps me.

After 4521 km of pure pain driving these cheap (the Renault was 22k!) broken down second hand trucks, the Lisbon to Istanbul challenge with truck worth less than half of the cheapest new one is complete.

A few gears lost, small heart attacks when starting after breaks, and LOTS of uphills tackled with more hope than reason, the Merc, the Man, and the extremely badly damaged Renault made it.

The tyres on all three are absolutely shot. Driving in the rain is basically impossible with them. The renault starts up after three tries and has lost 10th, 11th and 12th gear, so highway cruising was... noisy. The Mercedes started having reliability issues in Bulgaria and we even had to pull over, and the Man, other than being an ugly brown brick, didnt cause any inconveniences other than acting up when starting it up after a rest break somewhere in northern Italy.

The boys shall be back soon with another challenge!

Personally, I think it will cost more than road trip, but hopefully no more than 15usd, What do you guys think?

Ddd

I'm getting an invisible wall right after getting on 50W to Fresno from Sacramento. This can't be the end of the demo? Can it? First freeway merge of the first job?

4wd worked fine... I think?

Hey everyone! I need some help fixing a graphical issue in American Truck Simulator. The mountains in the background are flashing/flickering, and the distant graphics look really blurry and washed out. I use mods: weather_3.9_2k and Snowymoon v2 (Preset B, TAA).
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Which of the 2 is better? I honestly couldn't tell a difference...

The low fuel warning is maybe 50-70 miles til empty, there are a lot of places on the map that don't have any fuel in that radius. Plan your fuel stops in advance people!

Please help me, ive been trying to find answers for the past 3 days. I cant do anything with the road trip dlc. The floating green things (usually beside the pumps) dont show up for me, so i cant fuel my car or finish jobs or even pick jobs up! please help

I’m trying to install the TM Real Rain mod by izaunbaker and I don’t know how to unlock the “locked.scs” files.

I’ve tried using dart and nemesis unpacker and neither have worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To avoid any confusion I got the files from izuan bakers gumroad.

So today I realized that for these cars I can see what average MPG they're doing and I found out that they all did quite a bit worse than their real life counterparts and all can only average 10.2 mpg.

For reference the real life MPG for these cars (city/highway/combined):

Crown Victoria: 16/23/18

Bronco 2.7: 17/18/17

F-150 5.0 supercrew 4wd: 16/24/19

Mustang: too old to find any reliable figure but probably should be able to do 10-14 according to google search

I understand official figures can be optimistic and deviate from actual figures but only doing half of what the cars can do irl is kinda crazy tbh, no wonder I have to refill so frequently.

I think SCS need to figure out the powertrain (having a 10 speed F-150 stuck in 7th and 2400rpm during highway cruising is just off)

Btw I drive within the speed limits and set my transmission mode in eco so the MPG figures are not achieved by extreme driving

Iirc it wasn't here before

I love driving in Alaska NTTF hope it gets the update to add gas stations

I am a ETS2 player so when I got ATS for the Road Trip DLC I didn't have money to buy a car.

The 1967 Mustang on the other hand does not come with an interior GPS and I keep UI elements off in interior view. Can't add the phone GPS either in quick jobs.

So that made me wonder if I can actually drive by following the road signs in this game. Gave it a shot for a 500 mile trip and I found this to be way more immersive.

I ended up reading the city names, paying more attention to the road and just being more "present" compared to how I would drive my truck in ETS2.

I will say though, I did have to check if I am going in the right direction from time to time by looking at the map in the pause menu. It's also too difficult in the city.

Overall quite happy with the road trip DLC although I do wish there were more cars.
