I grew up riding with my dad then I learned to drive for myself. After a while I ended having a seizure luckily while I was home. This game helps me cope with not doing what I love.
Lucky you did get to ride with your dad. I was in a position where I couldn’t do it while he was alive and semi truck driving for 7 years. He died last year and always wished I went with him. So now I play ATS instead I guess
Nice video Squirrel! Just a note from a real life American Trucker, the tractor only has a license plate on the front bumper and the rear of the trailer since scale houses can only see the front bumper when you pull on the scale. If and when you visit the States, hit me up and I'll take you on an actual delivery! Keep up the good work on your vids and keep on truckin'!
People got me wrong here, I really love the game, I bought a g27 last year, I got 400 hours in ets2 and ats combined. But SCS likes to tease us with stuff but when they release it tends to be a little bit laccluster or mediocre. I remeber when they teased us with tandem trailers a few years ago, nothing happened to that one.
I've always played the game is such a way that I work to be accurate on coupling, to minimise the jump the trailer makes when you hit the button. This will just reinforce that. I like it. Shame they don't animate the Suzies coupling too.
Finally some really realistic mod. Now we only need to be able to lower and lift the rear axles in relation to backing under the trailers, so that the real-life feeling is the same in the game. Not each trailer is standing at the same height.... I looooooooooooove this!
As. These are the kinds of updates euro/ American truck simulator needs. I could care less what color my lug nuts and wheel hubs are. We want stuff like this plus trucks and maps
Hey Squirrel, at 8:05 you said the mod has the crank on the wrong side, however quite a few trailers I encounter here in the US have it on the passenger side.
really now? ive been around these trailers and truck most my life and have never seen such thing. its always on the drivers as you need to adjustvthe kingpin location before backing the truck under so the jaws lock on the kingpin...also need to do a tug test requiring the landing gear to be 1-4 inches off the ground......time is money in the trucking bussiness
I like this touch of "realism". I just want them to make accidents more brutal. Not so much that it becomes Burnout but, something more than bumper cars. :/
It's nice to see the little animation for the legs of the trailer. I'm guessing the problems that have been encountered in the video will be the same in ets2 as well.
CIAN - ETS2 AND ATS it's not a road train: a road train for definition is a vehicle that has more than one jointed points, that's what happens when you have more than one trailer... the configuration you're talking about has only one still, except that instead of being right behind the cabin, it's at the middle of the truck. plus, regulations set the max lenght of the truck and trailer at 18.75 meters
There's a mod to do that in the Steam workshop, but it does make finding your particular trailer a bit hit and miss in a yard with several trailers parked next to each other. It removes the box for delivering trailers too, and replaces it with a couple of markers.
It gets you in the right area, but when there are two or three trailers parked next to each other, it's not always clear on my GPS which is the one I want. Perhaps that's just because I have to run at a fairly low resolution. I've backed under the wrong one a few times.
+Ian Pearse you didn't understand what I asked, when will the update be live, I know it's in the next version, I just want to know when we are getting the next update
Hey man you DON'T have to rely entirely on your mirrors,... Press the # 6 Key on the Keyoard and you'll get a better rear view looking out the right cab window!
So many people whining that the missing feature are the lack of air and power lines, Really come on having the proper coupling is a far bigger and better feature. The animated legs is also really nice. Adding the airlines properly and to look realistic would be quite difficult, and if they didn't move as they do in real life people would be moaning again, but it should be added just to make they look right. Axle weights should be a thing, and leads to having the axles adjustable in ATS, move the 5th wheel to move the weight or move the trailer close to improve the aerodynamics. Trailers set for different 5th wheel heights, its a common site were the front of the trailer is a fair bit higher would add a nice feature. Sleeping in cab with sleepers on them(this would add hugely to the game and make the map mods a lot better as well) this is very likely to lead to double trailers and vanilla support for wagon and drag I am sure
These people are generally young and uneducated, and commenting early is one of the few things in the lives that gives them a sense of accomplishment. That and growing their first pubic hair.
Looks awesome, Squirrel! Anything to add more realism and more challenge to the game, I approve of! Might be some issues with mods until they've had a chance to rework it, as you say, but overall good news!
The 1.24 changelog says this: "Data driven engines (torque curve, rpm limits)" Does this mean that we finally are able to mod engines that behave differently compared to the old standard model?
every trailer mod should be able to work with every truck mod, but because the margin of error is so small (10 cm) and you can't just drive under it, but need to be stopped before it locks into the fith wheel it's almost impossible to lock it in.
The trailer I'm trying to hook into won't couple on on any setting I'm as straight as can be but the pin won't go far enough to fit into the 5th wheel I'm using a mod truck the freightliner flb is that why it's not working
Looks nice xD cause to be honest even the "hard 3-star" parking isn't that hard. So a bit more challenge is definetely welcome. It doesn't matter if they keep making things more difficult, to where it gets to hard to just enjoy playing. Cause you can decide yourself wether you take the extra challenges or not. Btw it might not work with trucks and some of the trailer mods. But it wouldn't take long for modders to update their trucks/trailers :)
Does anybody know if or when the Peterbilt 389 is coming or has it been lost in the shuffle so to speak? It might be over in Idaho hauling potatoes I expect.
about time. they need to make it where you need to adjust the trailer hieght and animate the truck sinking when cuppling. if you dont lover the kingpin wont latch...its clost to real driving not but not quite
why is that i dont have that on my game? i cant see the handle rotating it just said that trailer coupling rising then boom not like this in your video
OK , there is some terminology that MUST be corrected , there is no such thing as a "Fifth Wheel" it is a flipping TURNTABLE, the Slot IS NOT the Wedge, The Wedge is infact part of the locking mechanism that locks the Jaws around the kingpin !! Now I ALWAYS use advanced coupling (I drive for a Living ) but the floating trailer drop icon is handy as is the box on the ground simply due to the constraints of the mirror's , my parking boxes and icon at the entrance to job site's doesn't show ?

they should force this option in multiplayer. then the people that cant drive wont be able to attach a trailer and make their vehicle longer.
+1 on this one! Hope multi devs see this video and your comment.
But people wanting to get into the game will hate it.....
+Nayan Lad it atlest makes it so the play some singleplayer first before going off and playing multiplayer
that is probebly why it is opt in meaning you have to put the advanced coupeling on by hand
Just wait for the update to 1.24 and it WILL be in multiplayer.
I have been waiting for this feature since 18 Wheels of Steel Across America!
wow awesome!!
I know I remember spending HOURS on that game. but compared to this and Euro truck, that game is awful
agree
It's good they are working on more features to make it more of an actual simulator.
Nice video Squirrel! Just a note from a real life American Trucker, the tractor only has a license plate on the front bumper and the rear of the trailer since scale houses can only see the front bumper when you pull on the scale. If and when you visit the States, hit me up and I'll take you on an actual delivery! Keep up the good work on your vids and keep on truckin'!
and he is in Cape Verde that is in Arizona! (new DLC )
and the volvo has roof accerories. Are they coming as well?
the volvo is a mod
Possibly part of the truck mod, some other mods have it as well
there's mods for Dallas, Arizona and etc. FYI
Squirrel actually has access to the current closed beta, he did a whole SNT on it
They should've animated the airlines with this patch, but wait we are talking about scs. These half finished features annoy me as hell.
+shino7311 people who play hardcore.
Smallmangaming Thank you!
***** Realistic would be a better word, but I don't understand, why are you agains more realism?
+RegularJohn53 you tell him john!

I hit 100% map discovery last weekend, so I'm now officially ready for Arizona to hit :D
As. These are the kinds of updates euro/ American truck simulator needs. I could care less what color my lug nuts and wheel hubs are. We want stuff like this plus trucks and maps
nippiness birthday have nji9n
Hey Squirrel, at 8:05 you said the mod has the crank on the wrong side, however quite a few trailers I encounter here in the US have it on the passenger side.

Yoater is right it's 60% of all container trailers are on passenger side so that trailer is fine
just wanted to say love what you do for your community and you dont deserve as much hate as you get
I like this touch of "realism". I just want them to make accidents more brutal. Not so much that it becomes Burnout but, something more than bumper cars. :/
There should cables that connect with the trailer and truck. You would have to seperately disconnect/connect seperately.
Maybe, but that would get annoying really fast XD
It's nice to see the little animation for the legs of the trailer. I'm guessing the problems that have been encountered in the video will be the same in ets2 as well.
is roadtrains planned to come to ATS/ETS2? Hooking up a 2 trailer load at one place and taking it to another for example.
that would be awesome..
Ask SCS, no point asking here, we don't know.
for ETS2 there will never be unless they change the laws: road trains are illegal in the EU, dunno about USA, but I think they're illegal there aswell
Moribax85 not illegal. You knoe those where the load is on the truck abd then just a trailer
CIAN - ETS2 AND ATS it's not a road train: a road train for definition is a vehicle that has more than one jointed points, that's what happens when you have more than one trailer... the configuration you're talking about has only one still, except that instead of being right behind the cabin, it's at the middle of the truck. plus, regulations set the max lenght of the truck and trailer at 18.75 meters
When will the next episode of Trucking School be released? Was really excited for it.
Pretty cool little addition.
I am glad they have this option now
Definitely going to turn Advanced Trailer Coupling on!
thank you for the information, this is very important and i also think this should be on the official ets2 video for the updates.
I really like the new Advanced trailer coupling.
Thank's SCS, that's amazing, clearly the best upgrade yet.
Squirrel, do you have a new mic? You sound a bit different and smoother :D
Same mic, but some new processing equipment
Hey live Squirrel. Nice video
+Squirrel can I get that skin
To make things even more advanced, they could remove the white box from around the trailer, so that you have nothing to reference as you reverse ;-)
There's a mod to do that in the Steam workshop, but it does make finding your particular trailer a bit hit and miss in a yard with several trailers parked next to each other. It removes the box for delivering trailers too, and replaces it with a couple of markers.
+PetergdWard you can still just look on your gps, finding your trailer is not that hard.
+PetergdWard what is the mod called?
It's "No trailer symbols (find your trailer extra)"
It gets you in the right area, but when there are two or three trailers parked next to each other, it's not always clear on my GPS which is the one I want. Perhaps that's just because I have to run at a fairly low resolution. I've backed under the wrong one a few times.
when will the update be live for both ets and ats
Open beta coming soon, public release after that
In the next version, as he said.
+Ian Pearse you didn't understand what I asked, when will the update be live, I know it's in the next version, I just want to know when we are getting the next update
+Musclecarlover7 thanks
You know as much as we do...
They should put in a customization to where we can stretch the wheel bases longer, like a 205" wheel base or a 305" and maybe even stretch the hoods
Hey man you DON'T have to rely entirely on your mirrors,... Press the # 6 Key on the Keyoard and you'll get a better rear view looking out the right cab window!
I remember when u only had 20k subs now 400k

Sleeping in cab with sleepers on them(this would add hugely to the game and make the map mods a lot better as well)
this is very likely to lead to double trailers and vanilla support for wagon and drag I am sure
Now they just need to animate the hook up of the service lines from the tractor to the trailer.
actually squirrel when ur in a tractor as long as ur putter duals are roughly online with yur trailer yur good to go
that truck is awesome squirrel!
Presuming you've bought the SCS oversize trailer mods, will advanced coupling work with them
why is people so eager to be so early to comment on vidoes?
These people are generally young and uneducated, and commenting early is one of the few things in the lives that gives them a sense of accomplishment. That and growing their first pubic hair.
No, it's not. Why would it matter?
+Cheng McGoldstein im young i dont want to like or comment first
+Beast 3112092 Oh you're a special snowflake
Grimjar why you're spelling so eager
I can't wait!
There needs to be an option to drop your air bags so you can connect to these lower trailers, had to do it to hook up to frameless dumps in real life.
AMAZING. I have been waiting for this for a while now
Looks awesome, Squirrel! Anything to add more realism and more challenge to the game, I approve of! Might be some issues with mods until they've had a chance to rework it, as you say, but overall good news!
The 1.24 changelog says this: "Data driven engines (torque curve, rpm limits)"
Does this mean that we finally are able to mod engines that behave differently compared to the old standard model?
Advanced coupling does work with modded trucks and trailers but takes some skill
The trailer mod legs didn't have animations for the legs but it still had the sound of the legs being wound up. Listen to it carefully !!
hey Paul in just want to congratulate you for 702 videos that you made
The trailer legs are called Landings.
Now we need sliding tandems on trailers and steerable trailer wheels
Very informative vid Paul. Nice one, mate.
If they animated the regular landing gear, what did they do for the lowboys?
the SCS style lowboys have simple landing gear
tank2g2
That's within the new beta? So I guess seeing the pony motor raise the trailer on the tractor is out.
Remove the shields on the W900's exhaust stacks and you can see to the rear out of the drivers door window just fine
must be a different type of node for the king pin and 5th wheel. Hopefully they update their blender pipeline plugin.
every trailer mod should be able to work with every truck mod, but because the margin of error is so small (10 cm) and you can't just drive under it, but need to be stopped before it locks into the fith wheel it's almost impossible to lock it in.
Squirrel it is a nice update! I have test it too, and i like it!
how do you get that camera angle where u can see the kingpin so nicely?
Next thing they need to add is the dumping of the suspension
dumping or damping?
dumping of air bags
May I ask how you are able to get out of the vehicle with that camera angle?
Having trouble with advanced coupling mechanism I got the tab enabled but I still can't get the right angle view am I Missing Something ?
The trailer I'm trying to hook into won't couple on on any setting I'm as straight as can be but the pin won't go far enough to fit into the 5th wheel I'm using a mod truck the freightliner flb is that why it's not working
At 3:08 you have a tour to CAMP VERDE (AZ)!!?? =D
Best regards from Germany
GGTV
How did you do that at 0:43 ?
Is that a camera mod allowing you to pan anywhere?
Hey Squirrel, could you show us how to get the Powell's trail achievement because I'm stuck on what locations I need to go to
When are they going to enable text and logos for truck graphics?
Looks nice xD cause to be honest even the "hard 3-star" parking isn't that hard. So a bit more challenge is definetely welcome. It doesn't matter if they keep making things more difficult, to where it gets to hard to just enjoy playing. Cause you can decide yourself wether you take the extra challenges or not. Btw it might not work with trucks and some of the trailer mods. But it wouldn't take long for modders to update their trucks/trailers :)
+Squirrel How do you get the new update if it hasn't officially come out yet?
This shows how hard it is for the real truckers
maaaah.. Cant wait for the update!
Love all the videos
Does anybody know if or when the Peterbilt 389 is coming or has it been lost in the shuffle so to speak? It might be over in Idaho hauling potatoes I expect.
hello, just wondering. I don't have that option and I have the steam edition, I only got the game today so I'm not sure what's going on
How to get the free external camera??
Thanks!!
JUST FUCKING GOOGLE IT.
william Farrell you press 0 to get into free cam... not f2..
+CIAN - ETS2 AND ATS that's not all there is to it....
FunkyA what?
oh I see nevermind
wait, what outside camera is that you are using?
Where are the air lines? are they coming later?
how did you get the camera to view the king pin
Squirrel Where can I find your/ a button box so I can map stuff?
about time. they need to make it where you need to adjust the trailer hieght and animate the truck sinking when cuppling. if you dont lover the kingpin wont latch...its clost to real driving not but not quite
why is that i dont have that on my game? i cant see the handle rotating it just said that trailer coupling rising then boom not like this in your video
Another great vid! Thanks squirrel :)
The problem is there is probably no collision boxes on the fifth wheel. if its that. its an easy fix
Or simply a dummy or a joint.
when is this coming out squirrel and what is your thougt about double trailers or even steering trailers?
that's an awesone idea!
Meh, all of the truck and trailer mods are going to be updated within a week to enable this feature, so I wouldn't get worried
Hey Squirrel are you using keyboard and mouse for steering? Or a wheel?
Next step for ATS, sliding the tandems/5th wheel and per-axle weight scales..? :-)
Will the external camera be available with this feature?
You should play some more of the Multiplayer mod. You haven't done it on this channel in ages :)
OK , there is some terminology that MUST be corrected , there is no such thing as a "Fifth Wheel" it is a flipping TURNTABLE,
the Slot IS NOT the Wedge, The Wedge is infact part of the locking mechanism that locks the Jaws around the kingpin !!
Now I ALWAYS use advanced coupling (I drive for a Living ) but the floating trailer drop icon is handy as is the box on the ground simply due to the constraints of the mirror's , my parking boxes and icon at the entrance to job site's doesn't show ?
awesome preview as always bud :) i could say 'keep it up' lol but i know you will either way 👌👍
I don't think you will be using it though Squirrel, this literally needs the precise pixel to work. But it would be realistic.
Squirrel is already using it, if you watch his SNT stream.
Ian Pearse i haven't been watching SNT for a while, but thanks for letting me know.
No probs. He demonstrated it on the last stream, where he was showing off the Arizona DLC.
Squirrel, will you be doing any videos on Planet Coaster? I recall you mentioning it once.
Awesome truck
That's pretty cool.
When your truck is like the truck from joyride...
i tried downloading the Volvo and I activated it but I cant find in the store. where do I find it?
that's awesome. squirrel do you think that they're going to make the weigh station more realistic?
They should make high pinning an option to turn on.
do you know how to get an unlock key code??? or unlock the online part of the game?
Does anyone know the name of the sound pack for the reverse beep?
How do you get to that camera angle
What version of ats is that
Any ETA for when it gets on ATSMP?
ARIZONA IS OUT HYPE
