This is already one of the best driving games of all time in my opinion. Just imagine where they can go with this in the future, it has scary potential. Adding all 48 states, advanced weather effects like wind and many different types of snow (framerate killer I know) and maybe adding wildlife and ability to get out and walk and sightsee...
Been really enjoying watching you play. It's great to see someone enjoy the game as much as I do. Born and raised in WV the Charleston area. Have you ever driven the wonderful (sarcasm) WV Turnpike? Stay safe out there.
Thanks Maltiris! Yes I have driven the WV Turnpike; while I dislike paying an additional toll to drive on freeways that we already pay for through fuel and other taxes, I have found WV to be a beautiful drive. But those hills are tough when you have a heavy load!
I missed this one in real time, but will definitely catch you live next Sunday. I do have a couple of questions for you though. What did you do to expand your view inside the cab, so you can see both your mirrors? I would like to do that too, so I don't have to use the two extra ones they give you, because they block a bit of your view. That is my main question and concern right now, but on a side note, what engine mod do you use? I'm hoping to find one that has the Mack Anthem engine sounds, as that is the truck I recently bought. I was using a Peterbilt 579, which I gave to my senior driver in the game, as I'm doing the business part of it too.
After taking a poll on the preferred day of the week for a livestream, Saturday will be the primary day for it, with Sunday as a back up plan. I frequently work Saturday & Sunday and some days can be quite long; so it'll be a crap shoot. But for now, plan on Saturday's. As for the view adjustment; while sitting in your truck, hit the [F4] key which will pull up a menu for adjusting your seat position as well as your head angle, steering wheel position & angle, etc. There is also an option for adjusting your mirrors once you get situated how you like. There is a third option for adjusting your headlights. (I should probable do a tutorial on this.) Regarding mods, I have a list of my mods, and their sequence, listed in my most recent driving videos Description area. Just click on SHOW MORE to expand the Description. It seems to me that there is a mod in the Steam Workshop for the Mack Anthem engine, but I'm not sure. Try doing a search in the Workshop for "Mack Anthem engine" and see what turns up. Good luck!
It adds police cars that match the local city you're in. Here's a link to it on Steam for more information: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2111420509&searchtext=municipal+police
You drive recklessly :D...actually I have a little funny story that just happened to me this morning. I adjusted my truck and trailer stability and put them a little lower last night because I just thought it might be more realistic. This morning I was doing a delivery from Bakersfield to Ely Nevada. Just East of Tonopah on US 6 I was driving at night and I was reading the signs to mind my speed around curves and I still flipped my truck! Had to get it towed back to Tonopah haha, then still made my delivery in time (unrealistic). amazing how this game can produce so many bad/good driving stories like this, just like in real life. then I went back and increased my truck stability setting. :D
I also adjusted too low and nearly tipped over. I adjusted it back up after that. It was riding like I just had a spring suspension instead of air suspension.
I never trucked into Canada or Mexico. I have been into/through all 48 contiguous US States. The only State I don't recall delivering to is Montana, although I have picked up in Montana. Otherwise, I've picked up and/or delivered to all of the lower 48 States.
@@Myotradventure | Interesting. And I meant also picking up and not just delivering. Driving there on a job. Now, that you say you've never driven to Canada makes me curious about your reaction to when you eventually try map mods. There's CanaDream for Canada which has recreated all of Canada, but Promods Canada is more realistic. It's just a small area the size of Washington State. Happy Trucking
Yes, several people have mentioned it; but it's always nice to get additional confirmation. Glad you found me; I hope you'll stick around to watch more!
Not currently. I do have long range plans to start a channel dedicated to just gaming because I have other interests like flight simming and games like Squad and ARMA. I'll leave ATS/ETS2 here, though.
Coast2Coast i nice because you can do very long loads but its mostly just flat land so not so much to see....the promods canada for ATS is realy worth downloading, it looks awesome!!
Might i suggest if you ever do a convoy live stream event, I would start a no-mods profile, just for ease to allow people to join...since otherwise everyone playing has to have the same mods installed. A plain vanilla profile works just fine in this case.
😂😂😂 I know what you mean! Well, I've got the audio fixed so we should be good to go. After polling the audience I'm planning to livestream Saturdays, with Sunday as a backup plan. I work most weekends and sometimes it turns into a long day. Glad to hear you'll be there.
@@Myotradventure thanks for the heads up on the change to Saturday! I'll note it my schedule. Saw today ATS is completely reworking 4 cities in California. Really looking forward to that as the state is very bland in comparison to the later adds.
19 for a roger lol hey how's it going rick? hope all is well and the roads are treating you well.. i was thinking while watching your live stream I could set up a discord server where we all could chat.. i could build the server for you and hand it over to you after finishing it.. and add sections for mods and categories a general chat .. let me know if you would like something like that.. id be happy to set it up for you.. never mind I just saw you already have a discord server lol
LOL, I certainly appreciate the offer. Nick has done a great job setting it up for me. I still don't have much of a clue of what I'm doing over there; although, I'm getting good at interacting with everyone and posting stuff. Have you joined it yet? I don't see a "Whoops" member.
Yes, with help, I got the audio issue from last night resolved. I still want to check out that text to speech thing you mentioned. I see Dylan posted a link to a video about it, so I'm about to check that out.

It's exciting to think about!
I like how you said 48 because of Alaska and Hawaii
@@holycrusader1842 they're more like territories in the trucking world. 99.99% of 'American truckers' work in the continental US

Is there a state you haven't delivered to? And, have you delivered cargo to say Canada or Mexico, or even further abroad.

Great live show,👍
Thanks! Should have game audio restored now so next will be better. 😀
Do you livestream on here on something else?

@@Myotradventure thats kool I was just wondering bcuz i was gonna go follow you on there as well 🤘👍
@@captnmorongaming5260 I'll make announcements on this channel when I get the other one going, but it may be a couple of months or more down the road.
@@captnmorongaming5260 nice to know I'll have a ready made audience when I get the other one going! :-)
If you dont want to worry on missing live messages I suggest using voice to speak plug-in
Is this a plug-in for OBS?
Great bro👌👌
Thank you so much 😀 Next time we'll have game audio!
