Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I got to say, some of your photos are absolutely beautiful!

WOW! That cliffside road looks like you can actually fall off!  Has anyone ever tried testing if you could?  What a crazy road.  I've never seen one like that in the game before.

I didn't want all your photos to be buried instantly.  These are an awesome set of photos.  That one with the nuclear reactors in the misty fog is very atmospheric.  Almost like an end of the world kind of shot.

Your other stuff is awesome including the cliffside drive, and all your "Americana" photos.

Forgive me everyone, I am going to share a bunch of random pictures.  First, Euro Truck Simulator 2.  I was on an industrial kick and taking photos of the industrial landscapes (mostly nuclear reactors) just for fun.  It's real cool how this game can be used for taking photos of things 'professionally' if you want too.  I love that.  All these photos are in Eastern Europe.  I've really been traveling and having fun out there in-game.









And for something silly I found along a main road in Spain.  Oops.

Then I did the same thing in American Truck Simulator.  I did a Western State tour!  From Utah, to Montana, then to Washington, Oregon, California, and back again to Montana!  I even found a new secret road.  Plus there was some police activity in Idaho. 















Plus I took some scenery pics.  Some I feel would be a part of some silly "artistic" collection titled, "Americana" or something, lol.













And for some humor, I saw this blocking the freeway.  No idea how this happened to the NPC.

I also meet the truck drowning in the road sometimes . Usually I just reload the game at this place to avoid the long waiting until the remaining traffic will let me go.
Plus, sometimes the train can stop at the RR crossing .

One remark: that things at the power station are the cooling towers, which are used in other typers of power plants . Rovinari is a coal station.

I just illegally drive around.  I'm not waiting for that, lol!

I learned in Denver that if you go on the tracks, the train stops and will never hit you!

We have a power plant expert now.

Sometimes the shoulder is too narrow .

The opposite lane is never too narrow!    Luckily in ATS, there is usually a wide shoulder.  Much harder to have that in ETS I will admit.




I never knew that about the cooling towers by the way.  Can't say I have ever learned much about power plants.

I think it’s like «monitor equals computer» trope .
But this time the cooling tower is confused with the reactor containment (you can see them in ETS a lot).

The computers equals monitors makes sense.

But now the addition of a reactor containment area is confusing me.  It is beyond my knowledge and understanding of power plants.   lol

That rock guard at the bottom of the windshield is a distinctive sign of Australian truck! .
Although... in that episode, it was the uglified Magnum. In UK.

[Anyponedrawn]

The joy on his face represents me driving on the shoulder or in the opposite lane to avoid a detour. 

[timmelon]

Do the roads where these trucks are used have lanes, shoulders, markings etc.?

(honestly, I use the shoulder in ATS a lot)

[Anyponedrawn]

Well if they are in the Australian Outback on a non-major highway, I don't think there are markings.  Just dirt roads mostly used by these truckers. 

Scandalous!     Shoulder drivers! 

[Silverwing]

Markings are merely a suggestion if they even exist in the Australian outback.

Beautiful pictures @Captain Ridiculous!  I love the color of your blue truck too. That looks like a scary road to be on.

[Graymist]

I love the photos, Captain Fantastic! A nice variety.


I noticed this locomotive that I don't remember ever seeing in the game before.  It looks to be based on a typical shunting engine used at a rail yard to move stuff around.  Yet I saw it in the game towing a full train as if it were a normal locomotive.
