Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I didn't notice the Gravity Falls one!! Lol.  I did actually notice the Breaking Bad reference when driving by.  I saw the motorhome, then the smoke and I was like... awww, I get it.

Wow, that building in the second image (posted above) is very odd looking.  Good photos!

They've made good progress so far.

As this is happening... has anyone been watching all the stuff going on in the Balkan's lately?  There very well could be war.  But unlike Ukraine and Russia, it wouldn't be one country invading another... I don't think. 

How will SCS handle Kosovo?  Will it just be marked with no defined border?


By the way, absolutely loving Montana.  I am taking my sweet time, really exploring and viewing everything.  I've done 6 of the 12 deliveries so far.

Well, in the current ETS map Kosovo is divided by dashed line instead of solid one, so they may leave it like that.

They will tread lightly.

Baltics look good so far.

Montana is great so far.

Some Yee-Haw scenery, y’all!

Yeeee-haaaaaaaaw!  Lol!  By the way, I bought both ATS and ETS2 when they were on sale, plus the map DLC's.  I will keep y'all updated with my progress and when I get a truck. I really wanted to just drive and explore the world they've made.  I'm less into it for the business or trucking.

Being that Texas isn't TOO far away, I am already getting excited for it and I haven't even finished seeing half of Montana yet.   I've stayed to the east so far, save the the most beautiful parts for last.

Congrats, FoxTail!!!

As I have said once before, I am more a techie geek than a driver , so, these games can give the interesting experience to almost everyone.

Like so many people who enjoy this game, part of the fun is seeing new places you've never been, as well as seeing the places you've been.  There is a novelty that I think everyone can enjoy in seeing something represented in a digital world that they themselves know! 

All the time, I see this game world and I think... SCS could expand on this so much more than just having it be a truck game.

[MasterXtreme]

So I do not think ETS2 Balkans will come out this year.  In fact, I know it won't.  So ETS2 won't have much for awhile unless we are lucky with some new trucks or some reworks.

The only big release we can't expect this year from SCS is Texas.

No fresh messages or blog posts for several days in the row — I assume, everyone is driving right now .
As SCS Twitter says, the 100M-mile goal is about to be reached. And it’s only ten days passed! Since the previous challenges had even smaller numbers (Idaho required 30M, Colorado — 60M, and Wyoming — 80M), I think SCS may set up the goal for future Texas update up to 150 or even 200 million miles. I doubt the community will spend more than two weeks for reaching it .

[Silverwing]

Almost reached it already?  What the heck!  I have still only done 9 of 12 deliveries! 

If this was the ETS2 community I would expect it to be this fast, but the ATS community is much smaller and we've already almost done it?  My gosh!  Lol.  They might as well do 500 million miles.

[timmelon]

Well, I think a significant part of ETS community temporarily migrates over the ocean after every map DLC release . Since 01.01.2020 we had four new expansion packs for ATS and only one for ETS, so the fandom of the newer game has more reasons to grow.
I think in 2016 the share of ATS part of community was like the share of EqG fans among other G4 installment fans, but now, in *TS universe, the «spin off» game has the same (or sometimes higher) level of attention from both developers and players.

Also, the developers say they are happy with all these positive reviews. One of the fan-made screenshot they share was taken using a mod with Kenworth W990 .

I wonder, if SCS will return to adding Paccar trucks to the game, what will be made first: W990 or T680 ’2022?

[Rainberry]

I just wanted to say I completed the World of Trucks event.  

I think the T680...?
