same case with the pegaso troner except it's all over in sketchy af sites

does anyone have like good 80s/90s truck suggestions that havent just absolutely vanished

or aren't in the sketchiest place ever

because so far I only managed to find the Renault Magnum and that's it

like I'm actually begging so bad 💔

[craggy jacinth]

Probably the best way to also appease the crowd that is against the busses being part of ETS 2 xD

[spare cedar]

How could anyone hate busses in ETS 💀

Reasonably better (and cheaper) to be part of an already successful game than make it its own if you get what I mean

Imagine having to buy the map DLCs all over again 💔

[craggy jacinth]

The two arguments I've see are "it takes away dev power from the main game", which is disproven by SCS in the article
And "It's called Euro TRUCK Simulator 2" which tbh is fair but isn't something I personally care about. I guess a workaround for that would be releasing it as a separated game (Euro Coach Sim or something) with shared (map) DLC ownership

[last falcon]

or just rename ETS2 to Euro Transport Simulator

[lucid pewter]

i know right

and its a vehicle i wanted in a sim

Company is bankrupt, maybe VDL could work something out

Would've loved having Van Hool

[stone sluice]

ah yeah shame

plaxton or neoplan could even do for me tbh

[lucid pewter]

it really is ; but yeah it was coming from a mile away

EV Buses that costed a fortune to make, family drama inside Van Hool themselves

even the mini coaches would be incredible

Iowa Traction Railway

[viral oyster]

is it just static

or does it actually pull cars sometimes

[toxic carbon]

That specific one moves, but I haven't seen it pull anything. 2 other units are static.

[viral oyster]

oh wow

was gonna say I might have to update the train mod but ig not

[toxic carbon]

Still better than not having it, or using already existing locos

[viral oyster]

oh yeah for sure

SCS is usually good about that kind of stuff

though I wish we had more commuter trains ingame

some areas that have them IRL dont ingame

[toxic carbon]

Was hoping for a Metrolink standin when Cali got rebuilt

[viral oyster]

and like maybe a couple more feight locos cause 2 ruinning the whole country is starting to get a little absurd lol

[viral oyster]

same

they modeled the metrolink tracks in LA

but it only sees amtrak

or. trakus

[stone sluice]

i reckon they will do more trains someday

they did it for ETS but only because the train models were old asf

[viral oyster]

I hope so with BC on the way

[toxic carbon]

Need an ACe stand in

[viral oyster]

I'd say its moreso because like every country/region has its own trains

[toxic carbon]

As well as new railroads going east

[viral oyster]

west balkans gave us the EMD G16, italy gave us the Fiat D.443, germany gave us a whole slew of shit, etc

whereas here in the US the same shit is used throughout

always thought like an ACe and SD70M would be good

for ATS

[toxic carbon]

Also sad Durango doesn't have its locos AFAIK

[viral oyster]

I would say give us a GEVO but half the population (including SCS themselves as I can tell someone got a little confused with modeling it lol) thinks that what we have ingame already is a GEVO

[last falcon]

4x2s always seen weird to me

theyre the worst chassis choice of them all

[spare cedar]

I quite like them personally

If I intend to drive a lot in EU, I'd use a 4x2 as they're most common abroad

UK I'd do 6x2

[last falcon]

i dont think i like anything about them

[viral oyster]

its like the most common setup in europe lol

which is the opposite to here in the US

where 4x2s are really only seen on LTL carriers

[toxic carbon]

Or California ag trucks

As well as the Hay Haulers

[spare cedar]

Personally

I'd take a 6x2 anyday

But to fit in to what's popular with where I'm driving, I'd use them interchangeably

[last falcon]

its also the worst for trying to get around anywhere plus its able to haul the least weight

taglifts are probably the best axle setup

midlifts have awful turning radius too from what ive been told

[viral oyster]

yeahhhh but like

tags look lame on EU trucks

Tags on US trucks tho are like a drug to me

I live in a part of the country where tags are very common, its such a cool sight

but to drive tags are the best tbf

SKO by juseetv

[spare cedar]

I thought it'd be a Schmitz but couldn't work it out, thanks 👍

[mighty bison]

Finally reached 100k miles on my Pete 389 😄

[last falcon]

first european run for the vtc im in, going quite well so far

got to poland without any issues

(if we ignore that i literally ran out of fuel once i got to this fuel station lmfao)

[spare cedar]

[toxic carbon]

So got back Mason City and I noticed 2 things about the Iowa traction Co unit

It has no run noise and doesn't sound the horn/bell at the 1 road it crosses

EDIT: Ok it may not actually use it at that crossing IRL

[last falcon]

russian division or something 🗣️

need to create better plates for this to be brutally honest

[meager pier]

jon ruda W900 <3

my biggest complaint about it is that the CB radio handset cable doesnt swing, and you cant put the SiSL one in it

[plain solstice]

PM Europe released

[last falcon]

still going

im like 3000kms away now

[spare cedar]

Going from where to where?

I don't have the patience for such jobs 🤣

[last falcon]

moscow to chita

[spare cedar]

Ok that's far

[last falcon]

aye

Does anyone have the mod? If so, does it work?

I haven't found any reviews on it as yet

[last falcon]

My biggest gripe with Euro Truck (I'm 99% sure this is for American Truck as well) is the borderline incorrect pickup/destinations for certain cargoes

For example:

Milk, Oil, Diggers or Sand and the like from Warehouses...

Milk loads should be from Farms to a sorting place then onwards to a warehouse
Oil from refineries (not sure if there are any in either game to be honest) to Petrol Stations
Diggers from/to quarries or construction sites
Sand from quarries to contruction sites

_ _
Whether there's a mod out there that rectifies this I do not know but it would be nice if there was 😄

Stuff like Containers as well should be a 2-part job. From a shipping yard > warehouse > back to the shipping yard

Whether it's base game or ProMods (I haven't been all over it but the places in Western EU i have been to), there's a strong lack of Quarries, Oil Refineries, Farms and shipping ports

[last falcon]

i strongly agree

i wish it was more like atsexpansion where loads were somewhat accurate

[viral oyster]

yeah no doing containers especially (one of my favorite things to do) just pisses me off sometimes

like I hate picking up entire 53ft boxes on an empty chassis from like walmart or some bullshit

or I go to a correct location like a railyard, and then go to a walmart and walmart takes the whole damn container???

and the heavy loads as well are weird, like distribution companies ingame (ETS2 anyway) distribute that vossloh locomotive cargo

Im just like. huh?

partially the reason why I basically only run dryvans in ATS now

although the new logging shit is cool

my hope is that as more cargos get animated loading/unloading they fix this weird ass cargo system

....even then though, I can still deliver grain hoppers to shit like sellgoods so who fuckin knows

I was originally making a mod that woulda sorta fixed this but that hasn't been touched in over a year now and I dont really plan on ever picking it up again in the near future

[spare cedar]

For real!

[spare cedar]

Same
That or curtain siders

[tacit isle]

Huh DB vectron with America boxcars?

[spare cedar]

sigh

Nice feature though

[shrewd hound]

this track radius also hurts

[viral oyster]

The american boxcar and hopper have been in ETS2 for forever lol

ATS has the euro tank car and euro gravel hopper with different skins

Its a bit silly :3

[shrewd hound]

but honestly this is better than some random stuff ive seen on other games

[viral oyster]

ATS/ETS2 do trains so much better yeah

I like having remotely correct trains, it brings in nice immersion

[shrewd hound]

even tho i wish they were a bit more watchful on the realsim side of things, but you cant have everything, especially since this is a truck sim only, still

i mean FS, starting in 17 till now uses American maps, signals and so on with a Br 155 and ameerican wagons, screw couplers but not Buffers and has Electric locos running without OHLE

so

yeah there is that

[viral oyster]

:3

I really do gotta fix the train mod at some point

I love having 0 motivation to work on my shi

oh yeah heres on with the euro hoppers, lol

lowkey really like how they look

its kinda silly

[toxic carbon]

Its odd, because they dont really have to use them

Though I wish the Grain Hopper wasnt so undersized

[toxic carbon]

Like why are they so tiny

[plain solstice]

Ikr

[viral oyster]

whats funny is like

in earlier versions of the game, the hopper was correctly scaled

infact you can STILL find that correctly scaled hopper ingame

why they squished the ever living fuck outta it, I dunno

[viral oyster]

it adds more variety to the trains

[viral oyster]

been a hot minute since I felt like working on a mod

gonna try and fix up some of the bugs with the train mod

random urge to boot up ATS again kinda kicked my motivation into gear

[toxic carbon]

https://blog.scssoft.com/2025/08/louisiana-bridges.html

Curious on how the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is designed to work, as like IRL the only shot shows it in the middle with no visible scenry on the horizon

[spare cedar]

That's kinda scary

24 miles on water on a vehicle

[viral oyster]

prolly gonna be one of those sections where it shows 24 miles but they slow the milage counter down so it feels longer

[stone sluice]

interested to see how much of it was squished

[viral oyster]

noticed they do that in cities n shit

[viral oyster]

finally fixed the crashing it seems

mod worths smoothly now

also something interesting I found while testing

didnt think these fucks were still in the game

gonna publish a mod update rn tho, should also come with a few more container liveries :3

annnnd it should be all fixed now :)

[viral oyster]

fuck it, frateways has an expedited divsion now

sheme differs a bit from the standard corporate and Im really happy how it turned out

[zenith lance]

Similar thing in Virginia too

[zenith lance]

NO WAY

I should show off my fleet

Oldest to newest

Sweetheart

Victoria

Faye

Kaskade

Natasha

Reiko

Lisa

Maxine

Kate

[viral oyster]

ohhh, neat rigs

[viral oyster]

fw this one heavy

[viral oyster]

also yeah I like internally flipped tf out for a hot minute

geninely didnt think the Napa Valley FPA4s were still in the game

[zenith lance]

Yeah I love this one. I have the steering wheel made out of revolvers

[viral oyster]

Oh lmfao thats awesome

[tacit isle]

ummm

I'm suppose to between those two not behind

Yes

[spare cedar]

I'd ask how you ended up in such a situation to begin with

[tacit isle]

I was leaving the factory where the trailer was

And that is just how it happened they're starting to drive without me

[tacit isle]

Stupid AI

Went from 1:30h to 3h nice

[spare cedar]

As stupid as he was, you could've switched lanes as you saw him pulling out 😄

I recommend learning their behaviour so you know what to expect at certain places

[tacit isle]

It's better that they get what they deserve instead of letting them win

[tacit isle]

Reason

[stone sluice]

this whole thing is worth reading imo

from what i see, 3 new things basically teased in this

[viral oyster]

uhhh

console edition for one

other two... uhhh

something for nordic horizons?

and a new game maybe? tf

[stone sluice]

https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10009049

console edition, bit too early

[stone sluice]

so its actually more 1 thing

And with this delivery only 4 states are left achievement wise (one state only is achievement, so its more like 3 states left)

Afterwards is mostly Heavy Cargo and Special Transport left

[rain knot]

[craggy jacinth]

Thanks, SCS xD

Let's go gambling!

[stone sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-birds-gambling-gif-11079340865664789477

i need to get back into ATS man

just need to buy Arkansas, iowa and missouri though

[craggy jacinth]

I'm still missing Texas and Nebraska, the last two states I need for my 100% Achievements hunt

[craggy jacinth]

Time to get heavy

[craggy jacinth]

180.000 lbs on 13 axles/50 wheels coming through

[spare cedar]

That must be a nightmare to reverse

[craggy jacinth]

Luckily I don't need to xD

[tacit isle]

Not really ATS or ETS but https://youtu.be/-DgAnfPjijY?si=-ILMEkWIAJ-0Eh6J

[spare cedar]

Would I be the first to say it looks like the Farming Sim series?

[viral oyster]

Hmm

Nice curtainsider there

Also love how it says “45,000 pound van” and he delivers a tipper

[craggy jacinth]

And it's already getting retired again as I've now done all Heavy Cargo Achievements. Next are the Special Transport ones which (out of convenience) I'll do as quick jobs.
Afterwards it's waiting for the next sale to pick up Texas and Nebraska

[stone sluice]

oh god a saber game

every screenshot is in engine it looks like

oh..

based in georgia/florida

[viral oyster]

Tbh

I think just like with truck world australia

Think ima pass on this one for now

[spare cedar]

It's a pass for me too

I'm interested to see how it goes though

[viral oyster]

this makes me think of NYC a lot

also like, is the anthem branded? I can make out the ACK but I cannot tell if thats an M or not

it looks like its split in the middle almost

[stone sluice]

might do because of how compact it is

i looked at jacksonville in google maps and jesus it looks way different to what saber have done

[viral oyster]

yeah

idk Ill defo keep tabs on this

but right now Im skeptical

truck world Ive lost all interest in but this I see some potential

[craggy jacinth]

According to the FAQ on Steam they have Mack and obviously International licenses

[viral oyster]

oh cool

glad they got MACK at least

if it aint got mack it aint good

[craggy jacinth]

Finished the ETS 2 Achievements :D

[mighty bison]

[spare cedar]

Or the truck is speeding 🗣️

[dim kindle]

i love the alaska mod so much

[craggy jacinth]

Special Transport time

[craggy jacinth]

I'll even show up on Street View with a Special Transport xD

[tacit isle]

Imagine a special transport where you gotta haul a entire church

[spare cedar]

Wouldn't it be better to just airlift that?

💀

No road is wide enough to take that

Surely

[outer bobcat]

No aircraft is going to be able to lift that much

I'm surprised it wasn't broken down for transport, but I guess they had reasons

[tacit isle]

https://www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9G/den-stora-kyrkflytten/forsta-dagen Here is two videos

[spare cedar]

4 Chinooks would do it

Surely

[stone sluice]

omfg finally

worst pack getting updated

[spare cedar]

Worst?

What's wrong with it? Out of curiosity

[stone sluice]

one of the worst atleast

theres just lack of customisation

and many of the bars were misplaced

[spare cedar]

Oof

[tacit isle]

Bare in mind it's not a official one

[tacit isle]

Trash AI

[spare cedar]

That's fine for me 😄

[tacit isle]

[spare cedar]

The way of realism :D

[tacit isle]

Nice

[spare cedar]

You'd be a bad driver in real life

[orchid phoenix]

yeah indicating is generally advised

[spare cedar]

Not the indicating, more the pushing-off-the-road of the other vehicles 😄

[orchid phoenix]

that might be a bit bad

[spare cedar]

I love reversing into those bays
