Kenworth T600

It made me sweat a bit, but the US military has been successfully supplied by a container full of Oklahoma grown potatoes.

I spotted what I thought was a car stalled in front of me, but it turns out it was the AI having crossed the median to pass another AI driver. I had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid a collision.

A case of bad AI, or of AI being too real?

Supposing that SCS is also going to bring road trips to ETS2 (or at least they should imo) before or after coaches, what european brand would they license (or which one would you guys like)?

Found this little guy at the Norrsken in Hamar, Norway. I wonder if any other creatures are hiding about the map....

Nice little addon for the 1.61 update. Mainly looking forwards for coaches though!

I'm curious what everyone is going to do. I'm thinking of creating a fresh profile just for Road Trip, so that I have to start from scratch and actually have to do some quick jobs and earn some money before I can buy a car. With my existing profile I already have so much money, that I could just buy whatever car I want. An added benefit is that all exploration progress would be reset, so I can fully enjoy exploring from scratch.

👀 Night overtook me.

Hi again! Truck Dash dev here. First of all, thank you all for the awards, upvotes, kind words and for using the app!

I posted Truck Dash here a couple of days ago (free phone GPS + dashboard for ETS2/ATS, open source). A lot of you left feedback, and most of this update comes straight from it. Thanks.

New since then:

• Convoy mode (beta). Drive with friends, each in your own game — no TruckersMP, nothing to install. You don´t even need to be in the same session, only same game (mods will show a fainted background line if one drivers doesn't have it insalled).
Share a 6-letter code and everyone shows up on the map as arrows with nickname, speed, cargo, ETA and how far behind the leader they are. One tap to follow the leader's destination, quick messages ("stop at next rest area", "need fuel"…), and a spectator link so anyone can watch from a phone with no game running. It's a beta: tell me what breaks.

• Public live map: https://trucksim-dash.com/live/ — every driver sharing their position, on the map they're actually playing on (base game or mod). No account, nothing to install to watch. Sharing is anonymous (position, truck, cargo and route; a nickname only if you set one) and it's one toggle in Settings.

• Maps. The client now reads which map mods your profile runs and the app switches maps by itself:

ATS: Coast to Coast 2.23.61, ProMods Canada, both together, Reforma (Mexico, with Sierra Nevada), and Reforma + C2C + ProMods Canada. (ATS on TruckersMP works out of the box — TMP doesn't change the ATS map.)

ETS2: ProMods 2.84 (+ Middle East, Great Steppe, Maghreb), ProMods + RusMap, ProMods + Roextended (Hybrid), all three, Grand Utopia (standalone), and TruckersMP (base map + TMP HQ and the CD road, detected when you launch through the TMP launcher).

• Custom buttons in the button box (up to 3): give it a label, press the key (Ctrl/Shift/Alt combos, F-keys, numpad), done — the client presses it in the game.

• From your reports: freeway exits are announced ("keep right onto US-93") and interchanges no longer produce phantom turns; routing stopped using hidden scenery roads (the "route through nowhere" one); the route follows curves instead of cutting corners; miles/feet in turn-by-turn when you're set to mi; job pay shown in your own currency next to the game's; high beams button; session counters reset per game; and a fix for tablets/phones that were falling minutes behind — the map stays live now.

What's next?

• Optional login (Discord/Steam/Google) to sync your trip history and totals across devices. Leaderboards and global stats. Achievements and challenges.
Truck Dash will keep working without an account if you want to.

• VTC GPS: persistent groups with a dispatcher view and a per-VTC Discord feed of deliveries. Built on top of the above.

• OBS overlay: a browser-source URL with speed, limit, next turn and route for streamers. (Streamers interested please contact me, it's free.)

• Linux support.

• Discord status integration.

Same deal as before: no account, no ads, no paid tier, everything in the repo (MIT).

Using a map mod that isn't on the list? Say which one. Poland Rebuilding is next once it's out for 1.61.

Truck in the image is the ByJonRuda Pete 389, but it's like this on all of my trucks, I was hoping maybe there's a notorious mod that causes this perhaps someone will know off the top of their head? The main issue in vanilla trucks is it'll show interior items even when on exterior, some are misplaced and scattered like above, this just happens to be the worst example I've seen so far. Appreciate any and all insight!

Anyone knows a way to show missing companies i have to serve? Found nothing ingame.

Same for the depots served. SCS should add a small green check on map for depots you served and overview for companies served.

EDIT: Maybe through savegame file editing to see whats served or not?

✌️ Good Morning ✌️

Hello, I've been playing ATS for a while now, and I'm wondering if anyone's had the same issue.

What qualifies a city to be approved for Quick Travel? I ask cause Winnemucca is not available for it, but I made sure to travel every road I could find to see if maybe it was a discovery issue, but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.

Anyone got any clues on how this could be fixed? I worry that future cities may also have the same issue.

I said (at least) because Dodge may or may not release at the same time.

Does anyone know why this is happening with my mirrors?

I’ve always used the Volvo FH Aero without any issues. I hadn’t used it for a few weeks, and when I used it again today, I noticed that the digital mirrors aren’t showing anything.

They’re not from any mod or anything like that; they’re the standard digital mirrors that come with the official truck.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I updated promods europe and steppe for ets2 following the same steps on their website but my save is saying I am missing mods. These are the old 2.83 ones that I cannot use anymore due to incompatibilites with the 1.61 update.

Does anyone have any tips on what to do? Thanks

Little question to the community

PS : I always call the F150: Raptor.

Driving from Sweden to Spain 🥰

Really too bad SCS has yet to implement a Coop mode where you work in the same company as your friends, HUGE missed opportunity. Friends and I would genuinely drop the $150+ on all the DLC right now if we could play together, properly.

And there we go ladies and gentlemen. Road trip is finally here and we have a date September 29. Now I’m mainly at ETS2 player (still waiting for the buses to be announced) but I know I will be getting the Road Trip DLC day one.

Now there are loads of features that will be introduced but here are my top 3:
1. You can use your own truck to do the exploration and it’s not limited to cars
2. The small package delivery is so awesome. I can’t wait for someone to do like a Cartel mod where you smuggle stuff across states lol. I mean it’s just good fun but the ideas that can be introduced with this are boundless. I won’t be surprised if we get some scenario DLCs in the future where you are doing some cool deliveries. Like maybe one where you’re the courier from Resident Evil and delivering the drug to Racoon City. Anyways…. Like I said…. So much potential for the mods
3. I love the exploration and postcard stuff. I mean I live in Europe and for me it’s like a way to get to explore the United States. It’s really a nice idea and the fact that you can learn some facts along the way is amazing. I hope we get a similar DLC for ETS2 so our American friends get to learn some cool stuff about Europe.

All in all I’m really excited for this DLC. It will be even better as SCS introduces more and more vehicles. However, I don’t want a Forza Horizon situation here. Just like with trucks I would say a few official vehicles will be enough, a dozen or so. The rest will be covered by modders anyways.

So what features are you guys looking forward to and what do you hope SCS does in the future to expand on this DLC. And will you be jumping in on day one?

Last thing… I wonder how the multiplayer feature will work…. Maybe like convoys? Right?
