Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I am not next to my game at the moment, but I posted these images during winter.  You might enjoy them too, @Nemesis Prime .   Some snow, just like Finland!

It is the middle of winter and my adventure begins with me picking up a load in Rawlin's, Wyoming with a destination in Sandpoint, Idaho, and one more stop ending in Everett, Washington.

I start very early in the morning and there is light snow in the ground.  The sunrise is beautiful and the temperature is 8F according to the truck's thermometer.



Starting early I make good time and whizz through Wyoming, Utah, and make it into Idaho. 



As the sun shown, I got to see some of the best of Idaho's natural surroundings.  But this was short-lived...





I made it up the Lewiston Grade without much issue.  Snow plows had recently plowed the highway.



I made it to Sandpoint as the early winter sun dipped below the tree's and the moon was over-head.  It provided for a beautiful sunset.




With my delivery dropped off in Sandpoint, I slept till the early morning. I woke up to something white on my windows.




It was beginning to snow.  I grabbed my last delivery for the weekend and headed for Washington.  But it was extremely foggy and snow was beginning to fall heavier.




The rest of the trip was a slow and treacherous trip as it was nearly white out conditions all through Eastern Washington.  Spokane city skyline?  Nope, totally covered by heavy snow. 



The snow continued heavily as I reached the Cascade Mountains and crossed over the mountain pass.  But thankfully the snow turned to rain as I entered the western half of Washington.  I didn't take any photos here as it was mostly just rain and you've seen rain before.  I was able to deliver my goods to Everett without any issue, it was dark, but it was a fun journey and fun to see the weather change throughout the journey.

I love those truck photos of yours, @Tusszent.  That one shot of the Actros driving right to us is one of my absolutely favs.  Possible my fav truck I've seen by anyone too.  It's a good looking truck.

@timmelon I like that photo at the quarry.  It's so big, it makes your already large truck seem so small!  Haha! Also your Red Pete may be right up there in the top five for best trucks I've seen.  I also love your red LT and 49X.

LOVING THE PHOTOS!   

[Silverwing]

Keep the photo roll coming.  We got ourselves a CONVOY.

[MasterXtreme]

Great photos to everyone!

How about this stock Scania I captured?  Not my truck.

[Silverwing]

I actually like that... like way too much.  The stock plastic calls to me.  I will upload my trucks here soon.  I was on ETS2 tonight getting photos.  I will hop on ATS to get photos soon then upload them all.

@Tüsszent

Here are some photos of my trucks and some scenery... since you asked.

This dynamic photo looks amazing! Loving the scenery pics too, the foggy bridge is so cool, so mysterious look if it wasnt day time XD

I'm so surprised how good such simple design can look! The shiny chrome details really bring out some super nice look

@Captain Ridiculous

Ooh, now that looks familiar! Thou in here we usually get WAY more snow, I love it how it looks so pretty and calming when there is just little snow, but watch out, it could be hiding some ice underneath! And the further we go down the pictures, the TRUE form of snow rises up! It might be surprising but i actually dislike snow so much XD Must be because i've had to deal with massive amounts of snow since i can remember and as a kid it's all fun and games, but once you get older and you actually have to walk or drive somewhere it's a nightmare! XD

@MasterXtreme

Oh my lord, the pic reminds me so much of toy trucks we have here, thou the trailers are different, but the truck looks same! XD
I sort of have this "I want to buy it, but I dont really have anything to do with it, so i shouldnt really buy it" feeling when i see some nice toy trucks, but i try to hold myself and just buy more Optimus trucks since i do collect Transformers figures and Optimus/Nemesis sure has some nice truck modes XD

Some photos from Missoula

(Twitter page with video)

[Soda]

Missoula looks bigger than some of the other towns we've seen in Montana. 

[timmelon]

Well, only Billings is bigger .

[Soda]

Okay, I got some photos of my truck.  I don't remember if I shared some of these, some are new.  I also have a dumb story below.  I am noticing now that in a lot of different types of lighting, my truck looks too dark.  I want it to be purple, but not like girly purple.  So I will work on that.













So dumb story time.  Shortly after the two photos above I wasn't really paying attention and um... texting.... yes I was texting.  Texting while driving in a game.  I figured I had a long straight road, so I quickly looked down and before I knew it, I somehow veered slightly off the road and ran STRAIGHT into the back of that poor fire truck!  That's why it's facing a weird direction.  I didn't hit anything else and my truck rolled down the hill.  This photo is the aftermath and my final resting spot of my truck.  I absolutely totaled it.  I was going 60mph on cruise control and absolutely wrecked my truck and it's load.  My first official big accident in the game.  Thankfully I had enough money to repair this,  my truck went to 95% damage.  Thankfully this wasn't real life.   It could have been real bad.  I learned to not text and drive in a game.

[Soda]

Well, only Billings is bigger .

It still looks pretty small though. Smaller than anything around me.

[timmelon]

Have you tried to study some color catalogue, and then remember the RGB codes and apply them into the game?
I remember it was the only way to get some of colours I love.

95% at once is a good achievement . I remember 60, even 70, but not 95%.

[Soda]

I have not done that with the colors.  I will look into that.  Maybe my next photos will have the correct color I want.

[Silverwing]

Nice driving, Soda!   Also nice photos.


The Missoula update looks good.   I am really started to get hyped about a new state.  Montana reminds me of the remoteness of Wyoming, but with some of the environments of the Pacific Northwest with a mix of Wyoming prairie land.  Looks remote and beautiful.

[Anyponedrawn]

Darn, sorry about the truck and expense Soda.  Ooof!

Missoula is looking good in that update.
