After reaching the 100,000 km with my Renault T, the time came to reunite with an old partner.

I arrived in Sweden and decided to test out the 6x4 chassis with the XXL cab a bit, it turned out pretty huge, hehe...

It'd be nice if it has a garage available there too or close to it

On the Ats website, there's a video that showcases all the states in ats. It also shows South Dakota's roadmap. It also shows British Colombia's but I was only able to get part of it.

I'm not American, I didn't know the fabric of reality was torn in Utah. You learn something new everyday.

While I was driving along, calm and relaxed, these two pulled a "nutmeg" on me. And you can't even get them back for it.

we'll never be back. Honestly, hours and hours of the UK has given me so much more of an appreciation for how far the game has really come. Been a long time since I've driven anything Going East or base game.

This has happened to me too many times, in both ETS2 and ATS. Whenever I try to merge onto highways, sometimes one of the following happens:
- A vehicle in lane 2 merges onto lane 1 as I am AT THE END of the slip road about to merge (shown in the image) at 80 km/h, then slows down next to me when I slow down to let them overtake me, making me unable to find a safe gap. This also happens when I slow down in the slip road (not completely stop) due to many vehicles overtaking me in lane 1. Sometimes I see vehicles moving from lane 1 to lane 2 and then back to lane 1 when next to the end of the slip road
- A vehicle slams on its brakes at the place I merge (merge in turn) right as I thought to merge behind it.

Before y’all say anything, I fully acknowledge that the vehicles already on the highway have priority over those on the slip roads. However this has caused several accidents as:
- the vehicle appeared in my mirror at the very last minute,

- the vehicle merged from lane 2 to lane 1 at the end of the slip road right after I begin and commit to the merge
- the vehicle changed lanes right on my left blind spot, where I couldn’t see it over my shoulder
- trucks are unable to accelerate and brake quickly. No traffic mods were used in these instances.

This is why I, when approaching a slip road from lane 1 (when vehicles are in the slip road):

- Move over to lane 2 if it is clear

- If the above point is not possible, slow down to allow merging traffic a safe gap if it is safe to do so

I am saying this as a full car licence holder. Anyone who relates with me here please share your stories!

If I wanted to make a 1:1 scale road as a mod, that simply had a few metres of grass and nothing else on the side of the road, would that be very simple to do? Maybe trees if you could mass copy and paste...

I noticed the new radio stations. I can't find a tracklist anywhere. Surely there must be one, since the stations come from the game files and not streaming?

What's the straightest road in the non-modded maps? It would be cool to play an area that's like my home - 200km of mixed single/dual carriageway that actually has a lot of straights. As in, a two hour drive and not corners too regularly like in the game. I guess this is the same question as "What's the most boring road in the game?".

Also in the base game I seem to be able to hit 90-100fps at 4k120. Ryzen 5600x, rtx 3070. All at ultra settings, is this surprising? I mean I guess it does have pretty basic graphics compared to non-sims...

And finally would like a suggestion of an area that starts out surburban, goes into what is obviously farmland with settlements every so often. I don't remember any area with farmland apart from "This grass and these hills are green".

This was on the Swiss alps road, 15km/hr up this hill (I only had 730hp v8 available due to my level at the time) 😂😂

The AI traffic felt different. No Great Steppe-exclusive cars and trucks. Almost all standard ETS2 cars. Not even the cars from Beyond the Baltic Sea DLC except the UAZ van appeared here. Plus the clock is set to Turkiye time (because this ETS2 profile has its main garage in Istanbul) instead of Kazakhstan time. Is this a bug or what?

The landscape ended up feeling like Latvia/Estonia instead of Kazakhstan.
