Good post Sean and i agree with your points of view.

I was thinking of installing a free flying mod or something that can get me a bit closer to the stuff I can't reach. I know there are invisible walls but it would be worth exploring some time.

Thanks

You can free fly by enabling the console Sean and changing two entries in the config.cfg file.

Change this from 0 to 1 uset g_developer "1"
Change this from 0 to 1 uset g_console "1"

Havre MT - Oxnard CA, good little run apart from the stupid 55mph speed limit in CA.

I'm finding this sim is getting repetitive fast. Probably just need to take a break. Still a great sim.

Thanks

They are the only two games, ETS2 and ATS. That never get uninstalled from my pc Sean.

Everything else is disposable. But yes a spell away is good.

Well I was about to get Montana but then TSW3 (name it not!) distracted me for a day or two and now I’m engrossed in Run 8 the truck sims have gone on the backburner. Even Snowrunner I haven’t touched for several weeks. Personally I still think Texas will be the game changer for ATS, opening up those (almost) transcontinental runs.

Yeah I've bought every map to date. Any time they add another state enhances the trips and it just keeps getting better. More variations, more cargo and opportunities.

For me a Run8 is more of a take it or leave it when it comes to DLC because I personally deal with a region at a time (for a long period). If say for CA some of it isn't interestng to me I still have enough connections to keep me satisfied.

Sure you can skip ATS routes as they come out but you're missing out on the opportunity for the sim to just get better. Usually you'll see more stuff come into the main game such as trailers etc. as well. Also the rate at which new routes come out is not too fast to kill your wallet. However, if you're new like everything else it will be a big purchase price to get all the stuff and get up to speed.

Thanks

Los Angeles - Ogden, nice rugged scenery in places.

Installed ATS earlier ready for tomorrows Texas release. Discovered a really nice FREE Peterbilt 359, recently released on the SCS ATS forums, mods section. Very nice mod and easily as good as the two different payware 359's that i own.
