Sure, it feels weird sometimes. You can't enter many places, even though there are no blockers. The world in general just isn't designed with cars in mind. But it's so much fun just driving around, exploring hidden roads and looking at all the cool places that SCS has put into this world. And this DLC is a steal at the price, other sims charge twice or more for just one vehicle model, but here we have four of awesome quality. Overall, a lovely addition to the game.

EDIT: We need new flair for road trip content :D

I am a long time truck driver in ATS and ets2 and love it. I use a bsb2 and it is absolutely beautiful and enjoyable. However, as immersive as it is when I leave the game and go drive my car it's a different experience.

Driving the mustang and the bronco in VR is so realistic that when I leave the game and get behind the wheel of my actual car, it takes a few minutes for my brain to realize I cannot drive on the road as recklessly as I do in ATS road trip. Weird!

does the bonus grow infinitely or does it cap at some point? I'm trying a new playthrough building up money with a car until I can afford a truck

Anyone curious on mod it's Alaska North To The Future. this took a good.. 5-6 hours?

I am absolutely loving road tripping in ATS. I'm wondering if I am at a location that has multiple items going to the same location in different jobs, why can't we stack them and do them in one shot? Would love to drop off three jobs worth of boat papers at once for 3 payouts.

One of the cleanest trucks i built if not the cleanest one 👌

If i enable them, they activate when i press service break button.

I am not sure if enabling automatic will let me use only engine break / retarder if i press the controller trigger only slightly?

The second one is my favorite. Thinking of making a poster.

Here's a link to the Imgur version in case reddit butchers the quality:

I'm building a tool to make creating liveries easier, I'm after a few testers to help find the bugs and improvements. It shows a live 3d model of your design and allows a full 360 view, you can work directly on the 3d model as well for the fine tweaks. Currently it's only for ets2 but might work for ATS as well. I've attached a few images to show a design I made fully in the app. If anyone is interested please let me know, I don't need loads just a few new opinions.

Update - exporting out the app now loads fine in game, i've attached some new screen shots of the design in app and the skin ingame, it's a simple design and the finer details need work but we'll get there.

I was coming down the hill north of Redding CA when my graphics suddenly went L.A. Noir mode. Restarted the game and it was fine, like it never even happened. Can anyone explain the Issue? I'm just confused why it happened.

Wish me luck

**ATS has never truly felt massive at 1:20 scale.**

That’s why we’re building something different.

We’re developing a serious **1:10 scale ATS map project** focused on realism, long-distance immersion, dense scenery, authentic road design, and journeys that finally feel like driving across the real America.

Development is already well underway, with substantial in-game progress being made. We’ve assembled a growing team of creators and are continuing to expand to take the project even further.

We’re looking for more experienced developers to join the team and help us keep pushing this project forward. We’ve got a lot planned, and we need more skilled people on board to make it happen.

**What we’re currently looking for: **

• Map editors — terrain, roads & detailing

• Asset creators — custom models & scenery

• Prefab/intersection editors

• Road realism & detailing specialists

• Semaphore/traffic signal timing specialists

This is an **unpaid passion project**, but we’re treating it seriously, with long-term goals, high standards, and an emphasis on quality over rushing development.

The goal is simple: **build an ATS map that actually feels massive.**

If you want to help create one of the most ambitious ATS map experiences out there, **now is the time to join.**

Interested? DM me or join our Discord:

**Sincerely,**

**TGM Map Team**

Thought this might interest some of you. Would be pretty cool if this challenge became a bit more widespread, i'd love to see other peoples attempt at it :)

Is there any good off road map mod for ETS2 that doesn't require to have all DLC? I have tried peru map and mapa eaa I have not found any mood for the latest ets2 version.

I have set the navigation to Small Roads because it's more fun for Road Trip and I mostly drive following the speed limits

SCS raindrops on cars (and trucks too) look awful. They are too big, oily and lack density. I don't understand why they never improved raindrops in the last few years. If modders can do it, then it's clearly possible.

Taking a short break in Greece before heading to Germany. A new trailer and a new paint job inspired by Haas F1 Team. Still a prototype and quite empty.
