If you're still using that W900 Rework mod that's on the spreadsheet then that's why your wheel won't adjust - you added that way back when the series started because originally the dash didn't show what gear you were in but SCS eventually fixed that in a subsequent update.
It's not like you read these, but the steering wheel is being screwed up because you 1. still have that W900 Gear Indicator mod installed (Which is a totally useless mod now: SCS added in a gear indicator, and that is why it has not been updated) AND 2. you haven't updated the truck reworks by Alexey P - I bet both of those mods are causing the issue so you need to remove the gear indicator and update the rework.
Urgent delivery, missed turn because you were chatting.... If I had a dollar for every time this happened to me, I could finance several states of DLC at the least! Doyle + Hoop = TH-cam genius!
Thanks for posting the new vid Squirrel, I always look forward to the ATS (and now by extension the ETS2) career vids. Being in Western Australia the timing of your streams on twitch aren't suitable for me, so these keep series keep me entertained. I'm currently taking a break from ATS as I discover ETS2, having come into trucking simulation through ATS as opposed to what I'd assume is more common ETS2 to ATS. In response to your question regarding the ATS release, as a complete newcomer to the genre I found ATS to be exciting, and to begin with I was happy with the released content. However within my first fortnight of gameplay (real world time) I had unlocked all the steam achievements, 85% of the roads & every city/delivery point. Having now started an ETS2 career and in particular once I added the Promods expansion the shortcomings in ATS are glaringly obvious. I added the Coast to Coast & Mexuscan expansions simply to have more discoverables, but unfortunately the quality of these mods is disappointing, simply way too much straightline flat road, erratic AI and a complete lack of detail. I respect the modders who released these packs, but there needs to be a lot more manhours invested to bring them even up the SCS standards let alone the ETS2 Promod level. I also understand that until the rescale drops it is pointless for anyone to invest their efforts into expanding the detail & terrain, so for me at least ATS is going to be on a hiatus until we see the rescale. In the meantime I'm enjoying the roads of Iceland! Apologies for the long ramble, and Happy Trucking everyone!
Squirrel, what you're forgetting is that once SCS gets, if they get to the northeast, California is more than twice the size of all of New England combined. Meaning once they get farther east, more states can be released at a time.
I'm playing ATS every now and then, playing ETS way more. Waiting for the rescale to come out. ATS is fantastic. Period. Promods is helping ETS a much lot. Everytime when i almost get bored of it, Promods is bringing something new. Another great Squirrel Production, thanks !
Great video mr Paul, good to see you back to ATS. - Steering wheel Problem: I've read the mods in the spreadsheet and I think the interior mods are causing the steering wheel to freeze in the up position. - About ATS: I kind of wish if ATS was part of the ETS 2, I mean like one game that has both Europe and America map, just like your idea of World of Trucks (Which I really like it). This way even if it took too long for scs to release a map dlc for US you can still enjoy driving in Europe, and have it all in one game (that also will help with not having to updates the mods twice for each game) . I hope we see something like that in 2017, with the ability to click all the buttons in the dashboard, difflocks, going out of the truck, maybe the windshield gets foggy and you have to click on the defrosting button to reduce it, and some animation of the driver going to sleep in the sleeper when you go to rest, maybe drinking coffee or tea to increase the time left to rest. I don't know if that even possible or not but sure I would spend thousand of hours in a game like that!
Correct, except for New York, Maine, Florida, Virginia, North & South Carolina. The New England states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware etc, will be easier
I thought the reason why Euro Truck Simulator 2 is more fleshed out is that the game inherits work done on the first version. (Euro Truck Simulator) - that's why in the base game, the intersections are so irritatingly small. The further expansions have generally better interchange construction (though Scandinavia has the best). Keep in mind, the amount of territory covered in ATS is roughly equivalent to the size of the ETS basemap. Also yes, those red, white and blue-colored routes are Interstates in the USA.
ETS2 had large portions of the original map taken from German Truck Sim and UK Truck Sim (which is the reason why the UK was such a bad map) which means they actually made small improvements to the map. On the other hand ATS had a completely different asset bank made for it, along for unique road design and a map started from scratch.
I just started driving long distrance for a moving company, And when I rest that my time to watch your videos.Maybe you should consider buying a sleeper cab.
If I remember correctly, the original release of ETS2's map only had Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, UK (or England) and the very east of France to Paris and the very north of Italy, and then the road network wasn't as fleshed out as it is now. I think people forget how basic the first version of the first release of ETS2 was, I've got not distances, but I bet the number of drive able roads in distance aren't too dissimilar. With ETS2 we've been privy to small map updates within the base game, then we've had two large expansion DLCs with Going East and Scandinavia which more than doubled the original map, maybe even greater; then you have mods like ProMods who have increased the map further. ETS2 has had 4 years of map development, and some people didn't didn't join the party at the very beginning so have no idea how lacking the original map was. Truck wise ETS2 had Scania and Renault, with MAN out of the box. DAF, Iveco, Mercedes and Volvo trucks were not officially licensed and had their names changed to DAV, Ivedo, Majestic and Valiant. Yes ATS wasn't as expansive as we'd all hoped, yes it's very disappointing that there were only 2 trucks, and still no Volvo (I also agreed with SCS about not putting in trucks under alias names though, like they did in ETS2), yes SCS need to ramp up map releases, but lets put it into perspective in comparison to ETS2's release game, map wise is it much different? Not really! Is the gameplay and graphics better? Yes! I do believe ATS will ramp up in time, as disappointed as many of us were, ETS2 ended up setting the bar very high.
Hey Squirrel, SCS released the ATS rescale in open beta in the 1.5 update, a lot of the roads are different and trips are much longer, I took a load from Jackpot, Nevada to Santa Maria, California which is a new city in the game took almost two hours to deliver my load. So the rescale is released in open beta. I'm hearing a few videos from other gamers that they are likely to add the state of Utah and possibly New Mexico once the full rescale is complete, if that's true I don't know, but I have read that more states are to come in early 2017.
Ya i ran out places to go and stuff to do really quick with ATS and was really hoping more trucks or states would be out by now, but it has been a lot of nothing. also the way SCS models things is great except for the interstates. They put level junctions and stop lights and almost any routes ends up sitting at a stop light in a couples cities were in the real world you probably could go around all that on a freeway...
I believe SCS said that they're hiring more people, meaning the first year and a half may be slow, but over time it may be 3 states a year, 4 every 8 months and kinda speed up.
Try the 1:1 dalton highway standalone map . Apparently this map has been mapped with google earth and elevations for every single node added to their correct heights for their respective locations via Google Maps Find Altitude.
I'll say it again, Squirrel, use the '5' key to look where you're reversing, that's why SCS put the view the key in the game, to look beyond the stacks.
Squirrel had a look around online and when ETS2 came out it has 69ish citys, spread out more due to the scale, I think the biggest difference is the landscape quality early ETS2 wasn't really that great, which is how they were able to get more in to start with
What about the maps from the "18 wheels of steel" series? It covered the US and a little of Canada and Mexico. I know they're probably a lot smaller, but they were able to make them in a reasonably short time.
I have a suspicion they're gonna add New Mexico. If you look at the map in their blog, the roads from Arizona keep on going east after the NM border. I'm surprised no one caught up on that.
I understand what your saying Squirrel but the fact is that ATS will not have the complete North America. At most it will only consist of the west coast from the rockey mountians to the pacific coast. I really doubt the East coast will ever be created. I would say there will be a ATS2 that will include the east portion but 5 years from now.
I agree with the whole issue of not having more states and trucks I would of waited a little longer. I think SCS was under the pressure to get it out because the hype was there and now it's starting to slow down a little.
Interesting thoughts on ATS vs. ETS. I like ATS but it just doesn't compare to ETS, and that's mainly because of the ETS-modding community. ETS was a good sim, the package when it was released was alright, but mods like Promods took the game to a whole new level. In ATS there also seems to be something wrong on the technical side: I've played many a mods in ATS and there was not one where you didn't plummet into void, hit an invisible wall or that caused a game crash. Not blaming modders or anybody - it just didn't feel stable as the ETS/mods did. Great video and great trucking! :)
At present, it is taking SCS 5 months to map a state. Here is a table of time taken per state and how long it will take to finish the map at that rate. 5 months per state = 23 years to finish the map 4 months per state = 16 years to finish the map 3 months per state = 11 years to finish the map 2 months per state = 7 years to finish the map This time per state table is dependent upon how much more quickly will the whole map be finished if you take into account that the 5 New England states will take half the time that the larger states will take with probably a maximum of 5 cities in each. The problem that SCS faces is the fact that there are only around 10 medium size states, from a certain point of view, depending on what people classify as medium size. I love the SCS games, in fact they are the two of the few games I play and I play the trucking games for six hours a day, seven days a week and I worry about issues like this. I live to see at least the USA part of 'America' finished in what I hope is the not too distant future.
i will play ATS when the new scaling is released and the promised intersection fixes done. These are the two main reasons I left ATS and went back to ETS. Two States were OK at release and three States are even better.
18:22... call me cynical (and I am...), but I think it's ALL about the money. They gave us a fraction of a whole game, and will charge us for it to be what it should have been from the get go. I mean seriously, PAID DLC for wheelnuts ? How insulting is THAT ? I can imagine them in a conference room somewhere, with someone saying "I know, let's release a wheelnut DLC, see how many people we can get to actually pay for it...." At the end of the day, they're a business. Every paid DLC adds to the $$$. That's why I'm always impressed with small devs like Hinterland. When they updated The Long Dark with different regions to explore and die in, they didn't charge a cent for the new maps. Bravo Hinterland. Boo, SCS.
By the time SCS brings Virtual Trucking Companies to World of Trucks, there won't be much interest in it because there are VTC's opening up for drivers of both ATS and ETS2. They are appearing online and Facebook, where my VTC is, called Amie's American Haulage/Amie's European Haulage. We log our jobs into a program called TrucksBook. TrucksBook uses the SCS Telemetry SDK to monitor the jobs our drivers do for the company. I'm afraid that SCS dropped the ball on the VTC front.
What I'm really waiting for in ATS is some Internationals...there were some decent mods out for them, but the last patch broke them ALL (not being updated, and the steering wheel adjustment wrecked em). And one other thing...with Europe vs. the US, there's states in the US that are nearly half the size of ALL of Europe, so its understandable that its taking longer...hell, NY state is nearly the size of Germany. Its kinda crazy to think about for Europeans, but at the same time Americans have trouble understanding why people from overseas think that everything is close together (working in the hotel business in far upstate NY, I had a guest from the UK ask me about how far away NYC was...when I told them it would take 8-10 hours to get there, they couldn't believe it because they're used to major cities being crammed close together like in Europe).
They'll have to adjust the time scaling too when they rescale the map, right? I assume it's lined up with the map scaling since you've got to get a certain distance in a set amount of time.
SCS needs to grow.... and probably they had a chunk of debt too.... they spent a while developing ATS, I think they really needed to liquidize their asset and fast.
Keep it going, I don't have anything to do. I am a retired truck driver of 45 plus yrs. This old computer is to slow to play the games so all I can do is sit here and watch on youtube.....
I know you havent poated this in a while but curious is you noticed the crst truck and trailer when you got on interstate after pick up that iz where i went to get my cdl at
virtual trucking companies is available now and SCS needs to get it together i think they SCS just put this game together just to satisfy demand almost a year since this game came out and still 3 states in the same amount of time ETS2 has gotten paint jobs a truck or two and trailers thank god for modders
I still bought ATS anyway. But, to me. For a successful launch that was worth the price, they would have to have met or exceeded the standards ETS2 set upon launch. If ETS2 had 5 states and 5 trucks on launch, ATS should had to have met or exceeded that.
When you have TrackIR and you look backwards out the window of the truck, how can you see your monitors, when you have to actually physically turn around? No hate please.
Or Merced. When I was a kid, my family would drive to my grandparents house in Redding, CA and we would always pass through Merced and Modesto on the way.
i think they only did 2 states at begin and released it because they wanted to see how the game would do like player reaction to see if there a problem so they don't have to fix much also california is about the size of Ethiopia and Nevada is about the size of Oman there big nations
Paul see if going vanilla in ATS fixes the tilt steering. If it does then there might be a mod conflicting. The other possibility might be it's a bug. Obviously it works great in ETS, but it might not have translated properly to ATS. Also subbed your new channel.
even with 5 states it would feel to small because it's still 5 out of 52, even 10 states it would leave them with content for dlc in the next 3 or 4 years, add to that canada (because you need to link to alaska) and nothern mexico and the span of time on wich they could add new content to the game could take 5 or 6 years
50, 51, 52... so I made a mistake, but why should I know exactly how many states if I'm not american? the point in my comment is that even 5 or 10 states would still be and feel like too few compared with how many states there are
Add to that the fact that the map scale was 1:35 which would make 5 states feel like 2 because it would take the same amount of time to drive through 5 states on 1:35 than it does to drive through 2 states on 1:20. Another thing, what gave them the idea to use the 1:35 scale anyway? It is so bizarre, like pretty much everything they are doing nowadays. SCS's problem, and by association, our problem is that SCS doesn't have competition in the marketplace and competition breeds innovation.
Hey Squirrel and fellow Nutters. The mod that we hear when Squirrel goes to the gas station and fills his tank, the bit where you hear the door being closed and the keys jingling and then then ignition being switched on......where on earth is the mod for that??
problem with ATS is that the game is just totaly sold on DLC and will cost us way more money then ETS 2 ever was and ETS was bigger at launch. SCS are just in it for the money and thats it otherwise i think if they can do it with ETS then they could have done it with ATS but money talks.
I'm indeed disappointed by the lack of content, imo 3 trucks and 3 states is pretty inexcusable at this point, I was also hoping to do some trucking in different area types, the 2 states they chose, although they are nice, they're also too alike. Maybe they should have went north to Oregon and Washington instead of Arizona, the desert is getting a bit boring.
Hey Squirrel I have just installed the kenwoth W900L mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2. I have discovered 2 problems, the main problem is that my truck randomly changes its colour to pink while I'm driving l, the other problem is when I try to look out of the window it glitches and I can look behind. please help Thanks
No release date has been given, but this is what SCS said on their blog on September 5th: "As of right now we're estimating it will still be several weeks before we start internal testing - only after which the game update will go into the highly anticipated Open Beta."
What I think they should've added to American truck simulator is the whole Country more vehicle companies like Volvo Freightliner, Man and more European type trucks another thing is to add some wide and oversize load's
I agree. Not hearing anything from companies is the absolute worst thing as a customer. I really enjoyed No Mans Sky, but this deafening silence has essentially murdered the game. :/
sorry guys that last one I put in was supposed to have been on his 25th eposods . about the maps though California Hase a steep downgrade on i5 called the grape vine and at the very bottom is a chicken coop OK scale house when you start down a mountain with a full load you have to be in the proper gear and the Jake brake holds you back to prevent you from over heating your brakes and causing a fire and a runaway truck it's a skill I wish they would put on this game and if they throw in the northwest steep down grades chains and ice and 60 mph wind gust hitting your trailer in the side see all these things like that is what I really miss put some real skill in the game they have a good floor plan it's just so much more to trucking than flat land getting from point a to point b in those conditions where there are no safe place to park and wait it out just gives you a since of satisfaction I could never explain. I do love the game I just hope that maybe they see that message and step up the game see it's not just getting from point a to b on time it's every thing in between also
I wish they'd simulate engine heat, brake wear and such, so that you'd be forced to use retarders and motor brakes. It should be optional of course, but this is a simulator, i wish they'd simulate more.
If you're still using that W900 Rework mod that's on the spreadsheet then that's why your wheel won't adjust - you added that way back when the series started because originally the dash didn't show what gear you were in but SCS eventually fixed that in a subsequent update.

im in a VTC right now and its pretty sweet.. they use world of trucks database and it automatically tracks your miles, money etc. for the company.
Urgent delivery, missed turn because you were chatting.... If I had a dollar for every time this happened to me, I could finance several states of DLC at the least!
Doyle + Hoop = TH-cam genius!
agreed atleast i can find a way to turn around in ets 2 it's like a nightmare to do so
William Shearn I HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY NICE EVENING OKAY THANK YOU FROM DENISE TINDALL🇺🇸🐆
does anyone else get super excited when his intro starts!! :)
yepy doodles (yes)
Brittany Smith no I just skip it cause it takes to long
Brittany Smith yap
Not really... No youtuber gets me "super excited".
It's impressive but after seeing it many times it's like meh.

+MR HIPBONE79 I think a lot of people feel the same. Also, the second channel might suit you as the past streams will be uploaded there
Squirrel, what you're forgetting is that once SCS gets, if they get to the northeast, California is more than twice the size of all of New England combined. Meaning once they get farther east, more states can be released at a time.
Also you could've just taken the I-15 to LA, then take I-5 to Oakland after you missed your turn. That's what I always do to avoid Bakersfield.
I'm playing ATS every now and then, playing ETS way more.
Waiting for the rescale to come out.
ATS is fantastic. Period.
Promods is helping ETS a much lot. Everytime when i almost get bored of it, Promods is bringing something new.
Another great Squirrel Production, thanks !
Great video mr Paul, good to see you back to ATS.
- Steering wheel Problem:
I've read the mods in the spreadsheet and I think the interior mods are causing the steering wheel to freeze in the up position.
- About ATS:
I kind of wish if ATS was part of the ETS 2, I mean like one game that has both Europe and America map, just like your idea of World of Trucks (Which I really like it). This way even if it took too long for scs to release a map dlc for US you can still enjoy driving in Europe, and have it all in one game (that also will help with not having to updates the mods twice for each game) . I hope we see something like that in 2017, with the ability to click all the buttons in the dashboard, difflocks, going out of the truck, maybe the windshield gets foggy and you have to click on the defrosting button to reduce it, and some animation of the driver going to sleep in the sleeper when you go to rest, maybe drinking coffee or tea to increase the time left to rest. I don't know if that even possible or not but sure I would spend thousand of hours in a game like that!
I think SCS will be able to add state much more quickly when they get the Eastern US, because those states much smaller.
great point
but there are a lot a of big cities which i hope will have a lot of details.
Correct, except for New York, Maine, Florida, Virginia, North & South Carolina. The New England states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware etc, will be easier
I thought the reason why Euro Truck Simulator 2 is more fleshed out is that the game inherits work done on the first version. (Euro Truck Simulator) - that's why in the base game, the intersections are so irritatingly small. The further expansions have generally better interchange construction (though Scandinavia has the best).

I just started driving long distrance for a moving company, And when I rest that my time to watch your videos.Maybe you should consider buying a sleeper cab.
If I remember correctly, the original release of ETS2's map only had Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, UK (or England) and the very east of France to Paris and the very north of Italy, and then the road network wasn't as fleshed out as it is now.
I think people forget how basic the first version of the first release of ETS2 was, I've got not distances, but I bet the number of drive able roads in distance aren't too dissimilar. With ETS2 we've been privy to small map updates within the base game, then we've had two large expansion DLCs with Going East and Scandinavia which more than doubled the original map, maybe even greater; then you have mods like ProMods who have increased the map further. ETS2 has had 4 years of map development, and some people didn't didn't join the party at the very beginning so have no idea how lacking the original map was.
Truck wise ETS2 had Scania and Renault, with MAN out of the box. DAF, Iveco, Mercedes and Volvo trucks were not officially licensed and had their names changed to DAV, Ivedo, Majestic and Valiant.

Not really! Is the gameplay and graphics better? Yes!
I do believe ATS will ramp up in time, as disappointed as many of us were, ETS2 ended up setting the bar very high.
Hey Squirrel, SCS released the ATS rescale in open beta in the 1.5 update, a lot of the roads are different and trips are much longer, I took a load from Jackpot, Nevada to Santa Maria, California which is a new city in the game took almost two hours to deliver my load. So the rescale is released in open beta.

It covered the US and a little of Canada and Mexico.
I know they're probably a lot smaller, but they were able to make them in a reasonably short time.
LOL, that was so funny when that Toy's Are Us truck started hesitating and you almost hit him.
As far as I could remember someone told me that SCS already had a few states ready but those states were suppose to be released month after month
I have a suspicion they're gonna add New Mexico. If you look at the map in their blog, the roads from Arizona keep on going east after the NM border. I'm surprised no one caught up on that.
I AM DEFECTIVE It would be really cool too. I really look forward to seeing the sights in Santa Fe, beautiful town.
Landon Williams Well I didn't ask lol, I don't give a damn where you were born. I'm not Trump, chill!
I wasnt born here either
Landon Williams Where are you from then? Canada? Jamaica? Britain? Ireland?
I was born in merica
Always good videos , will you be doing a farming sim 17 series?

Fuck you

I wish they could do at least 5 states every 3-4 months with other Truck companies like Freightliner, Volvo and Mack

i will play ATS when the new scaling is released and the promised intersection fixes done. These are the two main reasons I left ATS and went back to ETS. Two States were OK at release and three States are even better.

At the end of the day, they're a business. Every paid DLC adds to the $$$. That's why I'm always impressed with small devs like Hinterland. When they updated The Long Dark with different regions to explore and die in, they didn't charge a cent for the new maps. Bravo Hinterland. Boo, SCS.
consequently, Foreigner - Urgent was playing when you said that it was a Urgent delivery.
By the time SCS brings Virtual Trucking Companies to World of Trucks, there won't be much interest in it because there are VTC's opening up for drivers of both ATS and ETS2. They are appearing online and Facebook, where my VTC is, called Amie's American Haulage/Amie's European Haulage. We log our jobs into a program called TrucksBook. TrucksBook uses the SCS Telemetry SDK to monitor the jobs our drivers do for the company. I'm afraid that SCS dropped the ball on the VTC front.
What I'm really waiting for in ATS is some Internationals...there were some decent mods out for them, but the last patch broke them ALL (not being updated, and the steering wheel adjustment wrecked em). And one other thing...with Europe vs. the US, there's states in the US that are nearly half the size of ALL of Europe, so its understandable that its taking longer...hell, NY state is nearly the size of Germany. Its kinda crazy to think about for Europeans, but at the same time Americans have trouble understanding why people from overseas think that everything is close together (working in the hotel business in far upstate NY, I had a guest from the UK ask me about how far away NYC was...when I told them it would take 8-10 hours to get there, they couldn't believe it because they're used to major cities being crammed close together like in Europe).
They'll have to adjust the time scaling too when they rescale the map, right? I assume it's lined up with the map scaling since you've got to get a certain distance in a set amount of time.
SCS needs to grow.... and probably they had a chunk of debt too.... they spent a while developing ATS, I think they really needed to liquidize their asset and fast.
could you upload your trackir profile settings?
+Keith Barber it's on the forum at squirrel.tv
+Squirrel I love your amazing videos. Come subscribe to me on twitch at kirkbernard2000.
Squirrel hey man
have you considered using the coast to coast mod?
Keep it going, I don't have anything to do. I am a retired truck driver of 45 plus yrs. This old computer is to slow to play the games so all I can do is sit here and watch on youtube.....
Would you be doing a full campaign gameplay of Farming Simulator 2017?
In the new update u can adjust the wheel so i think it's in the f4 where u can adjust things
Oh wait i missed that bit in ur vid soz
Please start up another series of Stranded Deep.
I can't wait until the whole ATS map is complete so you can go ANYWHERE in the USA. Oh, AND the map rescale so it will be a bit more accurate.
Four years later, we still haven't moved beyond the Rockies.
u always have the best games 🙌🙌🙆🙆
I know you havent poated this in a while but curious is you noticed the crst truck and trailer when you got on interstate after pick up that iz where i went to get my cdl at
more content (at least 5 states on launch and more trucks). also an official multiplayer from scs would have been nice 👀
When are you gonna give the truck a new makeover!?
ATS Public Beta 1.5 has been released by SCS
It's a very Nice intro 👍👍👍👍👍👍
can you do a road train
When are you going to get a new truck? Or add more cosmetic work to the truck?
Right now, he's focusing on paying off his loan.
when are you getting a sleeper cab?!
Is there not a mod that lets you go into the sticky out bit of Mexico
virtual trucking companies is available now and SCS needs to get it together i think they SCS just put this game together just to satisfy demand almost a year since this game came out and still 3 states in the same amount of time ETS2 has gotten paint jobs a truck or two and trailers thank god for modders
love your vids squirrel keep up the good work
Will you drive with the new Peterbilt in the Game?
I still bought ATS anyway.
But, to me. For a successful launch that was worth the price, they would have to have met or exceeded the standards ETS2 set upon launch.
If ETS2 had 5 states and 5 trucks on launch, ATS should had to have met or exceeded that.
Is there a promods pack or any other good maps for this game?
When you have TrackIR and you look backwards out the window of the truck, how can you see your monitors, when you have to actually physically turn around? No hate please.
TrackIR amplifies your movement ... you turn the head only 30 degrees and your in-game persona turns 90 or more degrees
Thanks!
Squirrel wen is the nest video on the Demolish and Build Company 17 wen is it going to be updated ?
They have Oakdale but no Modesto...
ErikPaulGames SCS did make some pretty weird decisions in which cities to include.
Or Merced. When I was a kid, my family would drive to my grandparents house in Redding, CA and we would always pass through Merced and Modesto on the way.
New series with ATS or ETS2 multiplayer possibly? trucking with subscribers or other youtubers
I like how you say Yoochoob
the w900 rework mod is not updated properly
Pual Maby try to restart your game or try to refresh your gameplay options
squirrel is that truck still stock?
i think they only did 2 states at begin and released it because they wanted to see how the game would do like player reaction to see if there a problem so they don't have to fix much also california is about the size of Ethiopia and Nevada is about the size of Oman there big nations
Paul see if going vanilla in ATS fixes the tilt steering. If it does then there might be a mod conflicting. The other possibility might be it's a bug. Obviously it works great in ETS, but it might not have translated properly to ATS. Also subbed your new channel.
Tilt steering works fine in ATS, i think he just has a conflicting mod.
even with 5 states it would feel to small because it's still 5 out of 52, even 10 states it would leave them with content for dlc in the next 3 or 4 years, add to that canada (because you need to link to alaska) and nothern mexico and the span of time on wich they could add new content to the game could take 5 or 6 years
TheArmando30 what are the 51st and 52nd states??
Last time I checked there were 50 states in the USA.
50, 51, 52... so I made a mistake, but why should I know exactly how many states if I'm not american?
the point in my comment is that even 5 or 10 states would still be and feel like too few compared with how many states there are
You shouldn't know... but Google does. Google knows everything.
Add to that the fact that the map scale was 1:35 which would make 5 states feel like 2 because it would take the same amount of time to drive through 5 states on 1:35 than it does to drive through 2 states on 1:20. Another thing, what gave them the idea to use the 1:35 scale anyway? It is so bizarre, like pretty much everything they are doing nowadays. SCS's problem, and by association, our problem is that SCS doesn't have competition in the marketplace and competition breeds innovation.
Hey Squirrel and fellow Nutters. The mod that we hear when Squirrel goes to the gas station and fills his tank, the bit where you hear the door being closed and the keys jingling and then then ignition being switched on......where on earth is the mod for that??
It's called "Sound Fixes Pack" The latest version is 17.4.
Thanks @Flat4Buggy 2. Does this need any additional mods to help it work? I ask because I added it but now my game keeps crashing.
Gamers4 Simulators No, it doesn't require any other mods to work. If you have other mods, one of them may be conflicting.
finally an ats video thanks paul
hey squirrel are using the fix mirrors mod
SCS can create a smaller area but 1:1 scale than It's far better than cover a lot of states in 1:35 bull shit scale
problem with ATS is that the game is just totaly sold on DLC and will cost us way more money then ETS 2 ever was and ETS was bigger at launch. SCS are just in it for the money and thats it otherwise i think if they can do it with ETS then they could have done it with ATS but money talks.
The place he is at looks like Grand theft auto 5
I'm indeed disappointed by the lack of content, imo 3 trucks and 3 states is pretty inexcusable at this point, I was also hoping to do some trucking in different area types, the 2 states they chose, although they are nice, they're also too alike. Maybe they should have went north to Oregon and Washington instead of Arizona, the desert is getting a bit boring.
Oh my God, the ETS AI drivers have got hold of the ATS trains. This can only end spectacularly (badly)...
Hey Squirrel I have just installed the kenwoth W900L mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2. I have discovered 2 problems, the main problem is that my truck randomly changes its colour to pink while I'm driving l, the other problem is when I try to look out of the window it glitches and I can look behind. please help Thanks
Can someone please tell me what mod he's using for graphics?
I don't think anyone's called Valentino Rossi rubbish before
How do access the mod spread sheet
in ats, imagine if you could take a ferry to Hawaii.....
and alaska!
That would be amazing I always wanted to go there
When does the map rescale come out
No release date has been given, but this is what SCS said on their blog on September 5th:
"As of right now we're estimating it will still be several weeks before we start internal testing - only after which the game update will go into the highly anticipated Open Beta."
The simplest fix for the wheel, is move your seat forward ffs.
What I think they should've added to American truck simulator is the whole Country more vehicle companies like Volvo Freightliner, Man and more European type trucks another thing is to add some wide and oversize load's
If they added European trucks they should just call it ETS2 American Map Extension
Do they seriously charge for the Arizona state?
I agree. Not hearing anything from companies is the absolute worst thing as a customer. I really enjoyed No Mans Sky, but this deafening silence has essentially murdered the game. :/
sorry guys that last one I put in was supposed to have been on his 25th eposods . about the maps though California Hase a steep downgrade on i5 called the grape vine and at the very bottom is a chicken coop OK scale house when you start down a mountain with a full load you have to be in the proper gear and the Jake brake holds you back to prevent you from over heating your brakes and causing a fire and a runaway truck it's a skill I wish they would put on this game and if they throw in the northwest steep down grades chains and ice and 60 mph wind gust hitting your trailer in the side see all these things like that is what I really miss put some real skill in the game they have a good floor plan it's just so much more to trucking than flat land getting from point a to point b in those conditions where there are no safe place to park and wait it out just gives you a since of satisfaction I could never explain. I do love the game I just hope that maybe they see that message and step up the game see it's not just getting from point a to b on time it's every thing in between also
whats the link to fs economy
I have been inside an A400 M
IGNORANCE IS BLISS EH SQUIRRELLY BOY?!
can anyone help me here. can sombody give me the list of best map mod, sound mod, trailer pack mod ?
I wish they'd simulate engine heat, brake wear and such, so that you'd be forced to use retarders and motor brakes. It should be optional of course, but this is a simulator, i wish they'd simulate more.
You can enable air brakes, which wear out and you have to idle to restore them
My ATS got messed up and it's like as if it's really zoomed in and the quality is bad now help?
Braydon Collins Are you playing in 1080p? If not, try changing your resolution settings in the graphics options to suite your monitor. :)
Thanks I'll try that. It happened right after I upgraded to Windows 10
+Braydon Collins mine got like that to where everything is a lot wider and i still dont know how to fix it
Was it when you got Windows ten
Braydon Collins no, i think it was because i launched ats on safe mode on accident and it just started looking like that
squirrel you should try uninstalling the update and reinstall it
anyone know when is the first ats dlc?
Arizona was the first.
