Just letting you know, you nailed naming Lac La Biche the first time you said it. Also, it's funny that you see a plane on the road after leaving Calgary, when a few days ago one had to make an emergency landing on a road in Calgary
nolan salwach it's kinda little more complicated than that my guy, You need time and Money to travel. With my job that is a no Go. It's a bucket list item tho
Jeff, Edmonton only has like 5 or 6 casinos but irl you can see one from the highway you took so I guess it’s not super inaccurate, although we have grass not sand 😆
AJ Deere T680 Yes, but the creators can only use the assets SCS gives them. It's not like Trainz where you can make new models and import them in. ATS is a different beast.
may i suggest making your way to Québec in future episodes? being my home province I'd be curious to see what it'd look like in the game. also, you trying to speak french is.... let's say "amusing" :)
I live just south of Edmonton! Highway QE2 is fairly flat, straight and long and is prairies the whole way. Way less trees lol just farm fields. The map isn’t very realistic, but I applaud the creator for doing a map up in my stomping grounds. It’s definitely cool to see!
I live in Lac la Biche and it has 0 resemblence. Everywhere in Alberta has deep ditches on each side because there is so much water and the speed limit is 100 no matter where you are. There are usually fields on each side too and when there are forests they are a lot closer to the road. I was excited and then I was just like darn this looks nothing like where I live lol.
Few things I noticed as a truck driver living in Calgary: First, that was the shortest drive from Calgary to Edmonton, that's usually a 2.75-3 hour drive. Second, why were the road signs in 1/4 miles? They're all in kilometers up here. Third, there are no scales on Highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton that are on both sides of the road. Fourth, why is your turbo gauge backwards? I have never been to Lac La Biche, so I don't know how accurate that is, but if that guy washing the windows on the front door of the Walmart doesn't stop soon he'll wash right through them ^..^
Um i live in edmonton. Amd have been all over good ol alberta. The signs are accurate but. Its more or less fields that are pretty hilly. Surrounding edmonton a ways out. Near calgary is more flat land and up north of alberta its alot of woodland
I legit laughed out loud when you said it’s the shortest yellow you’ve ever seen cause all my American buddy’s complain how our yellows are so short in Canada. So funny, I live in Calgary aswell so I really enjoyed this video. Always great content man
This "Lac La Bishe" town, its layout and buildings, its an EXACT carbon copy of "Truckee" in North-West Cali! The modders apperantly didn't even bother to try and make the town look unique or original by shuffeling the buildings around a little it seems. xD I only know this because I recently had a dropoff in Truckee (the town layout was EXACTLY the same) and I vividly remember that very same Walmart and how hard it was to park my trailer in there. LOL
Lac à la Biche, pronounced Lack a la Bish. It would be Bishay if the "e" had a hat like this: é ;) and for trucks and freight, most places uses pounds... or they'll tell you both Kilograms and Pounds. OH and being Late at Wal Mart is expensive as hell, they fine you for every hour that you''re late and it's 1000$ each. (I dispatch for Guilbault Transport and we do about 20 wal mart loads per week)
You should see more Trucks with oil rigs and oil rig equipment on the trailers on the way up to Lac la Biche, coming back to Edmonton and Calgary maybe not so much now. But Years ago you would see them coming back from the rack yards.
Another fantastic video Jeff. I started watching you when you were doing Code Zero patrols but your ATS videos made me consider playing games outside of my comfort zone and now enjoy playing ATS thanks to you.
Way to patient waiting to make that left turn across the highway at the 30:00 mark. I would have gone right after that red car for certain, if not sooner. I like to always do a rolling left turn, even if it cuts things a little close for those in oncoming lanes.
Canadream is a okay mod, but even the major junctions in some of the big cities are way off (not very representative). Ever since the early versions, till now it looks like a Eurotruck mod that was simply imported to ATS. Two lane highways would have yellow lines, not white ones dividing them, like the US. Trees all the way through the prairies, when they are rather open with fewer trees, at least in the south. Some highways go into cities that they don’t actually go into, and highways that bypass cities they go right through, that kind of stuff.
I live in Calgary. And worked next to where that Staples would have been in real life for 5 years haha [off a major highway in the industrial area in the SE of real Calgary]
I remember Squirrel driving a Peterbilt from England to South America in ETS2, now what if the opposite happened, America to Europe in ATS? Maybe someone will be crazy enough to make a map mod for ATS that adds Europe (and a ferry crossing to Portugal).
Hey Jeff thanks for all the videos man between iracing and ats. I have a question for you. Where did you get the coast 2 coast and Canada map? Every time I try to download it my virus protection kicks it.
Can you slide the axles on the trailer? Sliding them forward makes the trailer turn sharper, can help a lot when backing in tight spaces. Also, is there a log book in this game?
leaving calgary highway 2 north? so that street that you were on was supposed to be deerfoot trail? and the road to airdrie is nothing like that, though I haven't been there in a while, but it's at least 3 lanes per side IIRC and 100 or 110 km/h. and it's praries, there shouldn't be so many trees. the road is also straight, at least on the way to airdrie.
Unfortunately with this mod it is not accurate and just reuses assets from the base game and existing dlc. If you want an accurate Canada map you should use ProMods Canada. Currently it only has B.C. but it is very detailed and accurate. They will probably add more provinces once the appropriate states are added in as dlc.
Kinda has the Canadian feel but there's no trees leaving Calgary more prairies threw out Alberta depending on what highway you're on like highway 22 north and south and highway 1 west
I'd love to see you do some driving in Atlantic Canada. Seeing you head down the Saint John River valley, or really anywhere in New Brunswick would make me mighty happy. It would be especially nice once they get some new assets to make it more fitting.
as a born and raised calgaryan who has a cabin in rimbey and has been to edmonton many times I can assure you this is not accurate. being flat may be accurate but my goodness that is the only thing they got somewhat right, mountains in edmonton? give me a break, edmonton is no where near mountains. i'd be ashamed if i was the creator of this game, put zero research into what Calgary or edmonton looks like
There are no mountains near the highway from Calgary to Edmonton, rolling hills only. The mountains can be seen from some places on that highway to the far west. (+/- 100 miles)
I love this video but you should really try doing one where you pick up the truck in the United States and you going to pick up the trailer in Canada and bring it back to the United States it might be a little long but I think it will be a little challenging maybe in some bad weather or the rain something that'll make it more challenging for the game but I love you videos keep up the good work
I've lived in the Edmonton-Calgary area for my whole life and I can verify that it doesn't look anything like this, although it is fairly flat which is quite accurate. I'm a little disappointed that my hometown Red Deer (in between Calgary and Edmonton) isn't even shown lol. The part north of Edmonton is a bit more realistic as there actually is a decent amount of trees and it's mostly single lane highways.
The petro Canada gas station is spot on. Funny thing is a plane actually landed on a highway in Calgary the other day
Andrew Foreman what it like there? In Canada
TGOD MAFIA cold hahaha
The plane on the road in Calgary actually happened 2 days ago, it ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing.
That Alberta scenery would be about as convincing as snow in Mexico or hot desert sands in Alaska...lol.
Just letting you know, you nailed naming Lac La Biche the first time you said it. Also, it's funny that you see a plane on the road after leaving Calgary, when a few days ago one had to make an emergency landing on a road in Calgary
"Plane in the road" we just had one land on a road here in calgary so I found that quite funny
Superminer10 what's it like there?
TGOD MAFIA super hot for once, had a foot of snow last week, now it's +27
Superminer10 I live way down south in the US so I doubt I will ever be able to make it there, but I would like to go and see weed dispensary
nolan salwach it's kinda little more complicated than that my guy, You need time and Money to travel. With my job that is a no Go. It's a bucket list item tho
Thanks Jeff! Glad you looked into my suggestion for the map. Looking forward to more Canadream content!
They also did a great job with the feel of Toronto, I suggest heading there if the opportunity arises
Jeff, Edmonton only has like 5 or 6 casinos but irl you can see one from the highway you took so I guess it’s not super inaccurate, although we have grass not sand 😆
Next can you go to the 401 highway in Ontario near Toronto
LG Plus more Is there one?
The land of free health care
Christopher Richter and 60% Income Tax...
none of your business yeah I really should be paying for drug addicts and criminals medical bills
It's not free it's called taxes
It doesn't feel like Canada because of the scenery. Canada you see the farms for miles and more trees
AJ Deere T680 Yes, but the creators can only use the assets SCS gives them. It's not like Trainz where you can make new models and import them in. ATS is a different beast.
My cousins described Alberta as being the Texas of Canada
Kind of. Alberta is in fact a very conservative province, and I suppose can possibly be comparable to Texas, politically.
More like Utah
Nah that’s saskatchewan
The Florida of Canada
may i suggest making your way to Québec in future episodes? being my home province I'd be curious to see what it'd look like in the game. also, you trying to speak french is.... let's say "amusing" :)
I drive a Pete they do not have a good turning radius anyway, so it could be accurate!

Oh and there definitely is not a Walmart lmao
You must have missed the multiple explanations on why it wouldn’t look like the real place.
Jeff Favignano yeah but I kinda hope it would atleast have the correct sort of ditches
22:33
I had no idea we had a stratosphere here in Edmonton haha.
fox I live in Calgary the first thing I noticed is the traffic lights are wrong ours are yellow and mounted horizontally.

Edmonton I feel bad lol
I like the red truck with the coca-cola trailer it fit perfect
I was bummed when i did not see RCMP cars for cops.
daimien paquette I mean it's a mod everything won't be nail downed to the last detail.
Hey Jeff, little tip for driving in Canada, you can turn right on a red. Drive to Saskatchewan!
You can do the same in the USA as long as there isn't signs saying you can't
SchwiftedBear Well there was a corner that he waited for the green even though there was no-one coming so I was wondering if you could in America.
alberta is missing the oil refineries everywhere :D
I legit laughed out loud when you said it’s the shortest yellow you’ve ever seen cause all my American buddy’s complain how our yellows are so short in Canada. So funny, I live in Calgary aswell so I really enjoyed this video. Always great content man
Jeff said my favorite speed at 9:35
Jeff I love your videos bro. Your the only reason why I get on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!!!
Please go to moncton New Brunswick the rain seems about right this time of year is mostly rain here lol
The drive between calgary to Edmonton has the same number of trees as I have fingers on one hand.
Lol
Trust me, I’m from Alberta, this comment is 100% true
@@xlliie So am I that's why I made the comment
I use the Freightliner Classic XL mod and the steering is sweet. But, some trucks may not have that luxury, I'm afraid.
I love that truck!
Jeff Favignano So do I. I love it so much that I won't let my employees in ATS drive one. lol It's the bosses truck. xD

just Shane bruh you see how big that Canada map is and you’re gunna say he didn’t try to make it unique. Don’t play the mod then my dude.
"Lac la biche" is French for Lake Doe ( doe as in a baby deer).
Bienvenue au Canada
Regards,
A Canadian 🇨🇦
Salut, tu es Québecois ?
Canada has tree's on the side's of the highways. So yeah, it seems pretty realistic.
Hey Jeff u should take a trailer down to the most southern part in Ontario Canada just a suggestion
Cold up there eh?
Lac à la Biche, pronounced Lack a la Bish. It would be Bishay if the "e" had a hat like this: é ;) and for trucks and freight, most places uses pounds... or they'll tell you both Kilograms and Pounds.

This is a cool episode. I live in Edmonton, Alberta and have lived in Calgary too
Jeff, it would be awesome if you could do a run down to my home city of Toronto in one of these episodes. (Toronto, Canada, that is...). Thanks.
NightHawk787 Yeah I live close to there. That would be cool
That’s pure Calgary weather for you lmao
Yep, Lac La Biche is right. Being in English Canada, however, it is more said like Lack La Bish, but extra gold star for effort and pronounciation.
Lac La Biche, french name. loosely translates to: "Lake of the doe", exact translation would be "Lake The Doe"
I live in Calgary. And worked next to where that Staples would have been in real life for 5 years haha [off a major highway in the industrial area in the SE of real Calgary]
I just live north of calgary in olds
Great Video Jeff!
Oh my god the highways going out of canada look so real!

Hello boy
There's an ocean between England and America.
Europe*
Make a run to New York or Washington DC
30:00 that’s normal Alberta traffic xD
We went to Canada way back in 1986 when they hosted the world expo!!!
You should go to Vancouver next
Jeff, I live in Calgary. Super cool to see you doing a trip in Alberta!
That Cobra radio made my day
Wow the mod creator got something right, construction as you are entering edmonton
1000man2 Lol that is so true
the real highway your on in this video is called the yellowhead or route 1
Cool that they finally released Canada! Great as always, Jeff. Definitely wanna see the whole map.
Thats how it is here in Alberta we have lots of 2-lane hwy's where people just rip at 120km/h (80mph)
Hey Jeff thanks for all the videos man between iracing and ats. I have a question for you. Where did you get the coast 2 coast and Canada map? Every time I try to download it my virus protection kicks it.
Can you slide the axles on the trailer? Sliding them forward makes the trailer turn sharper, can help a lot when backing in tight spaces.
Also, is there a log book in this game?
Aaron Vadovic Theres no log book sadly
Could ya potentially do a run out to Halifax NS? it never gets much attention
I love you channel Jeff. Have for awhile. Can’t get enough
If those trees were gone and if the roads are a little more less turny and a little more hills it would look more like Alberta roads
Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta Jeff

You can make right turns on a red light in calgary and highway 2 is either stoney trail or deerfoot trail. It really isn't the same as calgary irl
Those trees on the 2 don't exist
can you please do a run to Halifax Nova Scotia?
can you drive to Newfoundland Jeff thats East In this vid you are driving West Newfoundland is where I live love to see if it is accurate
The turning radius on that truck is realistic... its not on the default trucks. The default trucks drive more like cars.
Actually up here in South Dakota the construction worker work in the rain all the time
Drive over to Vancouver
Hey Jeff I seen you drop here In the U.S But did you Take note same dude cleaning the window🇨🇦

Hearing Americans pronounce Canadian names is hilarious
Hahaha I died when he tried to pronounce Lac la Biche lol
Just a couple of days ago a plane landed on a highway near Calgary.
Malcolm Cameron ya that was crazy
377 is the predecessor to my peterbilt 386! Mines pretty similar to this, but newer 👍
Oh! and a "Biche" is the female goat... so basically you went to a town called Goat Lake.
Jeff if you head to Quebec they have a law which forces trucks to have a retarder
Next time you’re in Calgary come and say hi 😉
This is awesome, Alberta is my home province! FYI us locals call Lac La Biche like so "Lack-la-Bish"
I wanna see Toronto
On one of the next videos can you please drive into Ontario?
