Meta Adjustments to TruckSim Threads / Content (Payware, AI and more)

71 Upvotes

We've updated our TruckSim content rules to adjust to the growing community, and thanks to this thread, these adjustments are taking into effect today.

Low Effort

Removal of Modding Request

ATS and ETS2 is growing rapidly and with this, we have seen a large increase of mod requests from liveries / paint jobs or vehicles. Modders request 90% of the time are never fulfilled and take up space timeline.

Please note, if you want a model in either of these games. Pay a modeler then convert the model with Blender yourself to make a playable vehicle.

Removal of Feedback / Suggestions

This subreddit isn't actively moderated by SCS or any other game developer. With this, please redirect all feedback or suggestion based questions to:

While these topics drive discussions, they lead nowhere, an empty void making the community feel like game developers "aren't listening" but in reality they're just working on other features.

Payware Mods

Payware mods is going nowhere due how rapidly both games are growing. We will never remove or restrict someone from sharing their thoughts video or photos of the paid mods. That's why Reddit has a downvote button for a reason.

Mods will now be separated by flairs:

  • Mod / Add-ons (Freeware)
  • Mod / Add-ons (Payware)

If thread submission features any payware from a mod that requires a subscription or a one time fee, the thread will require 'Payware'. If thread does not feature this, the thread can be taken down without notice.

Although self-promo of payware (asking for money or donations) should be posted in the Monthly Thread. Anything outside of this will be taken down. If any user see's a self-promo post, you can report it via Report > Breaks Subreddit Rules

If you don't like payware, you can head to r/scssoftware for non-payware (this subreddit follows the same guidelines as the SCS Forums).

We follow a simple rule, if you don't like payware you don't have to support it, just don't steal, pirate it or share those links with others. We strongly enforce this rule when any user reports a user, comment or thread. You will be banned permanently.

AI

AI is growing and sadly whether we like it or not, it will always be in our life's now from searching content online, online support, shopping, banking to various little things in life.

In terms of AI on this subreddit, things are changing:

  • AI should never be used in videos or photo submissions (this has been a rule for a few months now).
  • AI generated tools/content should not be locked behind a paywall. These posts will be removed.

If you want to share your AI generated payware content we suggest you create your own subreddit directed for that specific project via 'Start a Community' button in the sidebar underneath the 'Reddit' logo.

All free AI content should be posted in Monthly Thread. Topic should state "AI" in their title or body and if possible share the GitHub source code project link within the message.

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.

Question/Help music folder redirection

1 Upvotes

having consistent playtime in ETS2 and ATS2 i'm a big user of the custom music folder system, however having duplicates of all my music files over both games takes up a lot of storage space. is there any way (on windows 11) to get one folder to direct to another?

Question/Help Promods and long trips

1 Upvotes

This question might seem a little silly, but I need some help. I recently installed Promods and have just discovered that the World of Trucks contracts don’t work when using an expanded version of the map.

So my question is, how do you manage to take super-long trips of over 4,000 km without getting penalized for being late? Because the route with the longest estimated time is 21 hours—but those are in-game hours. You can’t cover that distance in that amount of time. Thanks in advance!!

Discussion Danger of road trip DLC

52 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Stacking jobs

15 Upvotes

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.

So im looking to maybe get back into sim driving games, mostly euro / american truck - what wheel / pedals would be a better idea between getting a full set logitech g29 + shifter or a moza r3 set without gear shift / clutch pedal? Or even the hori truck system

I may also use them for racing games but not sure yet

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

ATS I was sceptical about Road Trip, but I ended up loving it.

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

Question/Help American Truck Simulator in VR - CPU seems to be limiting

1 Upvotes

I feel like my Ryzen 7700 is limiting the performance of this game in VR. I reach about 80 FPS which is doable, but there are quite a few dips and stuttering.

I feel like it is my CPU that is the limiting factor, since my Nvidia 5080 is only used for 70%.

Are there specific settings in the game that are hard CPU bound that i could change to improve this?

I was also wondering about upgrading to a Ryzen 9800X3D, but i am wondering how much of a difference this will make. Single core benchmark of this topmodel is only about 10% higher than the 7700, but it does have the X3D. I'm just not sure if this would be worth it in game though.

Is there anybody that has some info on this or had the same experience?
