[wary stump]

Also duisburg rework, I wonder how that will effect the calais duisburg stuff, if it even does 🤔

[craggy jacinth]

I read that TMP said they'll just keep their version but I've never checked if and where they said that

Ok, found an actual answer: It's planned to adapt it at first and potentially change parts later if the traffic gets to bad

But my personal guess on how it will affect C-D: The new big intersection near the German-Dutch Border will be the new choke point xD

[wary stump]

Interesting, gonna give it a go in singleplayer later on. The new UI is gonna take a bit of getting used to as my monke brain got so used to that old one

it feels very square lol

[craggy jacinth]

http://blog.scssoft.com/2024/05/american-truck-simulator-150-update.html And ATS 1.50 is out too

[stone sluice]

yay

might actually give me some motivation to drive again

[azure terrace]

And Nebraska is tomorrow

[stone sluice]

tbf though

SF has been done so well

i absolutely hated 2015 SF

the new UI is fantastic too

the fact that UI tick sound just sounds like an indicator too

[azure terrace]

I loved the 1.50

Got it kinda early with the open beta

[stone sluice]

wish i did

and when i downloaded it my ass thought it was the version/mods itself

turns out it was a mod file (anti aliasing program) which had crashed the game

Although one mod I quite likely now crashes the game unfortunately

[toxic carbon]

Beleive its about less than 10min till Nebraska?

i came back to the ETS/ATS binge

i love it

did 5 hours straight on ETS 2 since i got west balk

[wary stump]

Been eyeing up that bundle too tbf

I also need to get west balks

[stone sluice]

west balkans is just too good visually

[wary stump]

pmdg 777 comes out soon tho

[stone sluice]

i hope russia would be close too but i dont see it so far

[wary stump]

i've loved their recent stuff in ets, they always do amazing

[wary stump]

wasn't that politically blocked?

[modern ore]

i dont have west balks either :(

[modern ore]

it was

i remember the memes made it to normie twitter when they did a sale on all the country truck skins except russia

[wary stump]

lol

kinda based of them but i also feel theyre punishing a population that didn't really want the invasion to happen

but who knows, our media loves to perpetuate far eastern communist states as the 'bad' ones when we also do some fucked up shit but thats the norm

hehe politics

[wary stump]

i'm more interested in the greece dlc when that comes out

trucking out of athens to lil places like corfu, and especially if they do the greek islands omg

[modern ore]

the pink underline too

i aint even know they were doing a greece dlc

[wary stump]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLCoZAWCWYg

hell yeahhhhh

[toxic carbon]

Im hoping at some point ATS expands to Canada in the next few years

[wary stump]

then further to alaska

big reach tho

I suppose for ATS the most likely would be vancouver and around that area?

calgary too

i'll be chilling in a retirement home before they reach new york

[stone sluice]

yeah

[stone sluice]

honestly the updates get me more excited than the dlc releases tbf

1.50 is rlly good

and packs alot for one update

[azure terrace]

It was, if they hadn’t practically cancelled it in the late stages of development I maybe would’ve continued playing ETS

[stone sluice]

i believe it is fully complete

its just they need to wait to release until all conflict is done

[azure terrace]

It is indeed, maybe like 95% at least if not fully

But of course they can't release it

[stone sluice]

which is a shame

because it looks promising

[azure terrace]

Yeah, and weird thing is SCS didn't like completely leave Russia

All the content on steam is still available to purchase

But they still indefinitely delayed the DLC

I understand delaying it once all the shit has started, but by now they could've already released it without much backlash. It's ready additional content for their game and keeping it unreleased only makes it more and more unprofitable for them

[last falcon]

i mean the rusmap mod exists

and its pretty solid ngl

[loud valley]

Somewhat tempting ngl but quite the steep price

Doesn't help that I'm very much a on-and-off player, sometimes don't play for months

[meager pier]

ive been messing around with mods finally

ive always had this truck, but it sounds and looks better than ever

[azure terrace]

The W900? It's awesome

I don't have any mods for it myself though

Just the truck and the tuning pack. In terms of visuals, imo the tuning pack does pretty much enough

Still, my favourite truck in the game by far

I have like 4 of them?

[zealous oasis]

I hope they bring the shifter out on its own since i want to get myself a t300 which also has 1080° of turning

[loud arch]

I got it at work, it is pretty cool tbh

[loud valley]

It does seem great, it's pretty much plug and play for ets2/ats and the entire rig has pretty much all the buttons you'd ever need and the setup is way more realistic than what my G29 offers

But the price investment is large, and since I play on and off the it just doesn't make a lot of financial sense to already replace the G29

i hope its more than just an electric scania. I'm not a fan of the electric Renault. I keep remembering how hard it was to overtake one of the AI base trucks

[alpine crane]

could be a hybrid one

[stone sluice]

is that a rigid?

[regal jay]

Scania dont have a hybrid S/R series so i doubt that

[shrewd hound]

Probably, looks to short to be not Rigid

[craggy jacinth]

Don't think so, you can see more than what should be possible of the backwall with a rigid. Also peaking out are the wheels which don't really match a rigid

https://blog.scssoft.com/2014/09/the-first-news-about-design.html Also, we're slowly reaching the 10 year anniversary of SCS announcing that they are working on a rigid system and then never mentioning it agaoin xD

Can't wait to see the reaction when the EV Volvo comes to ATS.

Honestly I’m gonna even try it out just for the sake of trying it out

[craggy jacinth]

And even ETS 2/ATS are currently basically free, being only 1,99€ xD

[craggy jacinth]

[zealous oasis]

is someone here able to read ets2 logs?

i have some broken mod but i cant figure out which lol

[craggy jacinth]

yeah

[zealous oasis]

bitte helfen sie mir ich bin in gefahr

or is it time for a new profile ?

[craggy jacinth]

My guess would be a tire mod is the culprit. I'd deactivate them and hopefully the game should simply replace them with default tires. If that doesn't work resend the log again

[zealous oasis]

as in textures or sound ?

its rated for 1.50

[craggy jacinth]

honestly I'd try disabling all. Could also be not related to an actual tire mod and instead related to another mod that (maybe even accidentally) overrides something else

[zealous oasis]

Fair, gonna try that now

and crashes again halfway loading

No wait

Nvm 1 was still on

okay now, crashed again, instantly when i went into the loading screen

[craggy jacinth]

Ok, that's a way different error now. And also one that really doesn't tell me much. Something is either wrong with your actual game files or another mod overrides some stuff in a weird way.

[zealous oasis]

i loaded the game fine without mods

but i dont really have anything gameplay changing in there anymore

[craggy jacinth]

Closest guess to a mod that could do it would be a graphics mod but at the same time the files overwritten are ones that sometimes tend to be accidentally included in a mod

[zealous oasis]

i have png installed

latest version

its also on top of everything

imma try it only with promods and png

and then add each mod 1 by 1

okay so it aint png

and my reshade is gone lol

do you know if daniels random events is still up to date ?

[craggy jacinth]

no clue

[zealous oasis]

apparently it was his mod

[zealous oasis]

@craggy jacinth sörry for bothering again but this constant crashing is driving me verrückt

_can you teach me how to read logs ? _

[craggy jacinth]

It's basically educated guesses based on the last few error messages xD

[zealous oasis]

omg found it loool

haflway trough

[craggy jacinth]

what was it? xD

[zealous oasis]

it was a conflict with an mod that makes the emergency lights brighter and a mod that overhauls all lights

always the dumbest combos

first i thought it was some broken scania mod since my selected truck was a scania

[craggy jacinth]

Yeah, the log also made it seem that way but I guess the light mods broke it xD

testing the S BEV again. It's decent but holy, are thos brakes bad. Especially the regenrative once might as well be non existent xD

[zealous oasis]

i was listening "bruttosozialprodukt" as soon as the song ended, crash

[jaunty idol]

what the fuck

lmaoo

[jaunty idol]

at this point im convinced that my game is corrupted or sum shit

[jaunty idol]

holy shit now it doesnt even want to load up lmao

i think i will have to reinstall

[zealous oasis]

Do you have the taa stuff?

By this snoowy guy

This brakes the game

Had the same problem lol

[loud arch]

You can sometimes get some extra clues on what's causing the game to crash if you check the game.crash.txt log. Careful though, if you haven't "cleaned" this file for a while, you'll have a bunch of previous crash logs. Always check the last or remove it all together, reproduce the crash ( make whatever you need to do to cause the crash again ) and you'll have the latest info.

[jaunty idol]

i dont even know what that is, so i guess not

[jaunty idol]

I have a feeling that my save is simply corrupted, because even after reinstalling the game and deactivating all mods it still crashes.

[loud arch]

That's also a possibility... 😅

[zealous oasis]

@craggy jacinth any idea on that? i am pretty clueless

game crashes when i am in the truck dealer

but it doesnt tell me what truck

[craggy jacinth]

The showroom itself is the issue xD

[zealous oasis]

the thing is

it crashes at an specific truck lol

the first 3 are fine

then crash

(i think its the scania s that makes that but i dont have any mods related to that)

[spare cedar]

do you have any showroom mods ?

or anything related to it

This may reset your current jobs but I'd say cycle through your mods one by one until the issue disappears

[zealous oasis]

the only thing i have are the rjl scanias

and swap body stuff for it

[regal jay]

Is it a mod or?

painful memories 😭

[craggy jacinth]

I usually just go full throttle and hope that releases me xD That's for example how I got through here xD

[spare cedar]

[azure terrace]

ATS honestly is easier on that part. A lot less moments where you genuinely have such tight clearances. All the intersections are also wide enough for a triple trailer to go through without much pain. Plus you often just stay on an interstate most of the journey. And even if not, only a few mountainous routes give you constant turns.

The only trailer in ATS I've driven with which I had doubts whether I'm gonna make a turn is the wind turbine, which is just a hella long construction with no intermediate turning points, so that one ain't the best

[azure terrace]

Genuinely sometimes I wanna just launch ETS for some of such stuff

But I don't wanna be catching up on DLCs, I'm missing quite a lot

[craggy jacinth]

Well, there currently is a sale xD

[azure terrace]

True

And tbh I looked at it and I somehow own more than I thought. I didn't think I owned France and Iberia?

But apparently I have those

In fact it seems I own every expansion apart from west balkans

Since when though...

Although well, I guess owning more than you thought is better than owning less than you thought?

I'd probably play more of ETS if Russia didn't get canned. I mean, back then it was pretty obvious they wouldn't release the DLC, but by now they probably could already get it out without that many negative-due-to-politics reviews

[turbid moon]

I wonder why SCS doesn't provide low-deck chassis by default

[honest lily]

Plane also my old truck

[jaunty idol]

scs doesn't provide a shit ton of important things in case of simulation

that's why there's so many mods for ets 2

wouldnt be playing this game without mods tbh

[spare cedar]

Aye

[loud arch]

Finally got me a cargobull trailer 😊

[spare cedar]

nice

[craggy jacinth]

Decided to boot up ATS again

[azure terrace]

Lovely

[spare cedar]

Actually that reminds me

Are modders able to make their own Special Transport jobs?

or are you able to make jobs ?

In either game

[craggy jacinth]

Should definitely be possible but don't ask me how xD

[spare cedar]

I'll poke around and eventually ask on SCS forums thanks

Testing the I-44 fix in the 1.51 beta

Nice to see this part added in.

SCS posted the Arkansas gameplay preview video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3qNn0-V-RM

What's interesting to note, is the truck is a cab of the upcoming Mack PINNACLE

[toxic carbon]

Testing out the chip loading

[toxic carbon]

Looks like the Mack Pinnicle is gonna release for ATS with Arkansas

[stone sluice]

wheres that artwork grabbed from?

thats really cool to hear tho

[toxic carbon]

I found it on the forums

[craggy jacinth]

Yes, I'm constantly switching trucks. Used my MAN TGX 2020 for a short while

Now back on one of my many Scania S 2016 xD

[azure terrace]

I've not driven a scania or a man since september 9, 2023...

Didn't even realise I've not played ETS for almost a year now

[tawdry pewter]

That's crazy 😮

[azure terrace]

To be fair I did play ATS a lot

[tawdry pewter]

Fair enough 😆

[craggy jacinth]

Stuff you do with a truck xD

And switched trucks again, now onto a Renault T

hyped for Arkansas tomorrow!

Enjoying both the Pinnicle and Arkansas

[plain solstice]

Got banned from r/trucksim for making fun of someone's truck so I'll post here Ig

[plain solstice]

So the traffic lights in my game don't have lights in em. I've verified files as well. I'm going through my mods to see what's causing this though Idk if it's the game itself.

[plain solstice]

Fixed it

Had to get rid of the Cascadia Enhanced mod

[meager pier]

the ATS map is 1:3 scale right? what if you made a mod that cut your speed by 1/3, so then then you could drive in real time

that would mean 60mph highway speed is actually 20mph in-game speed

[plain solstice]

1:20 I think

[meager pier]

the time is 1:3 scale, 1 minute per 3 seconds

[plain solstice]

Ah

[spare cedar]

NGL I would've liked if both games were 1:1

While that means we wouldn't have half of the regions we do, I still think it'd have been nicer

I sometimes feel the map goes by too quickly

[plain solstice]

I get that

[tawdry pewter]

more than that probably

[spare cedar]

ay

[azure terrace]

1 minute per 3 seconds is 1:20 scale

1:3 scale is 1 minute per 20 seconds

And as for genuine scale of the map, it's dynamic I'm pretty sure

In the cities it is less downscaled than in rural areas I think

[spare cedar]

I think the speed you're going is also a factor as well

When I'm sitting idle, the time doesn't move as fast

[azure terrace]

Yeah I think that too

[stoic ice]

Yeah, I've noticed this

[crystal vessel]

they’d still be working on the west coast if they had made ATS 1:1

[tawdry pewter]

almost done with LA

[sand lantern]

Feels appropriate to share to this Discord; for anyone using the new ProMods 2.71, keep any eye out for the new British trains. It's now possible to go train spotting in ETS2 😛 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJD5K-7xA0

[spare cedar]

yooooo

that is good!

That is just nice

That time when ETS2 has GBRf branding and TSW doesn’t 😭😭

[azure terrace]

Gotta be Louisiana

The alligator made me think Florida but wouldn’t make sense at all - that would be fully disconnected from the rest of of the map

[tawdry pewter]

Yup, also the dish in the picture is Jambalaya which originates from Louisiana

[azure terrace]

Tbh Louisiana was quite expected since it’s an obvious next after Arkansas

Then after Louisiana this team will probably go on along the coast - Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, while the teams working on Missouri and Iowa will probably do the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin etc

Finally got my first truck

[toxic carbon]

The new Cascadia was a nice surprise today

Or yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm803sX3nyM

For those who missed it

[outer bobcat]

I don't really know what the Cascadia is but I'm happy to see more trucks

[loud arch]

It is the 5th gen of Freightliner's Cascadia truck. It is more of a "facelift" from the 4th generation, with the most noticeable changes being the hood design and the introduction of digital cameras

[outer bobcat]

Ah, sweet

How does it compare to stuff from Mack and Peterbilt? I'm still pretty new to all this so trying to place stuff "in the market" is quite tricky

[loud arch]

These have a much modern and very efficient engines and transmissions and also overal aerodynamic design, providing a great improvement on fuel economy

[outer bobcat]

sweet!

[loud arch]

btw, one more release coming up today 🙂

STD simulator 2???

[stone sluice]

that driving school thing

looks really fun

this should be out now i suppose?

Its out now

I don't think..... I don't think you can catch STDs from that

👀

[outer bobcat]

now i just need a second controller...

[outer bobcat]

electric truck is weird, also after a week of ATS it feels really weird to be back on the correct side of the road

The game definitely feels a little bit older, definitely took some of the QoL stuff in ATS for granted

[tawdry pewter]

You in the Uk mate, everything's untouched from 2012 or something

[outer bobcat]

yeah, i was debating whether to install promod or not

seems a bit overkill for my first playthrough

[stone sluice]

i do highly suggest using promods for ur first playthrough

[outer bobcat]

yeah, i'm looking at it now, and it looks interesting

it adds the scottish highlands which i like very much

plus svalbard for some reason? i'd be amazed if trucks even go up there

[outer bobcat]

it's mainly the thought of having to put the game on hold for a few weeks every time SCS update the map

[stone sluice]

it does massively improve the UK

because i know the UK revamp is months away

maybe even years

[outer bobcat]

Yeah, you weren't kidding - road signs in Welsh!

[stone sluice]

very nice

[craggy jacinth]

Yeah sure, I'm definitely in the spot I'm supposed to be xD

[spare cedar]

[boreal minnow]

Months lol, years with a plural

They've been doing Germany for the past 5 years

[outer bobcat]

why are there Gripens over Kent
are the Swedes finally invading again

[outer bobcat]

The random events you can encounter are quite fun

[spare cedar]

lol

yeah

[stone sluice]

french car breaks down in ETS2, in france

[spare cedar]

AI moment

[outer bobcat]

I'm using SlavJerry's straight-piped Cummins ISX15 605
it makes my teeth vibrate

This is what american trucks are meant to sound like

[craggy jacinth]

That was close 😅

[outer bobcat]

I'd call that a bit more than close 😂

[craggy jacinth]

https://blog.scssoft.com/2024/10/euro-truck-simulator-2-153-update-open.html That was quick xD

[stone sluice]

omg volvo FH4 rework

[boreal minnow]

Love the QoL features they added to the settings menu

Just realized it's the final phase of the Germany rework, I wonder what's next

[craggy jacinth]

My guess would be the BeNeLux area

[last falcon]

looks like the trains are getting longer

[toxic carbon]

Unsure atm

BNSF likes to park trains on that Bridge in Barstow

So it could be static

[loud arch]

I wish, but sadly that's just one static object. 😅

[mighty bison]

If you want longer moving trains I'd recommend this mod from the workshop, there's also a version for ETS2 as well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141395603

[toxic carbon]

Still not enough locomotives leading though

Need at least 2

Very rarely do a solo loco leads mainline trains on UP/BNSF

[mighty bison]

there was another mod I'll try and find it

Hmm ok the other train length mod is obsolete now so kinda limited on choice, surely it'll be possible to add more than 1 loco 🤔

multiple engines will be coming in a future update by the looks of the authors comment

[spare cedar]

based truck bruh

[toxic carbon]

I cant be the only one who thinks the grain hoppers are too small in ATS right?

[mighty bison]

Definitely too small, pretty sure I've seen them in ETS2 as well 🤔 might be wrong
