@ryofang I've been to all the states and providences between Texas and Alaska as im a 3rd generation trucker that was born and raised on the road before becoming a driver myself. and I can tell you it would definitely be a trip to remember if you ever got the chance to make the trip irl.
I am a real truck driver in Europe. I wanted to say that you have traveled a bit of the virtual world. I don't know the States, but the views are great. And those beautiful American trucks.
@@vishnuram1811 Correct. Sam has recently been getting to know American trucks. Once when I was a kid, I had a poster of a beautiful Kenworth. And recently I started to "visit" the USA in American Truck Simulator, I really like the Western States in this game.
Drove semis for 17 years in the states. It looks so small on a flat map. Texas looks so small on the map also, but if you go from El Paso, Texas to Texarkana, Texas it is the same as going from Nantes, France to Berlin, Germany.
I've been following along on Google maps. Currently through Amarillo TX. This game is nuts. The detail is insane. Even when arriving to Ballinger, it has the square / park on the right and the building in the southwest corner, same windows. Same color and design. Just wow. Going to keep following for sure.
Indeed. If games today are so bold like this, some producing unbelievable replicas of the Earth (i.e. Microsoft Flight Simulator) imagine what scale of bold acts we will be seeing in 10 years.
As a real trucker I can appreciate safe driving practices both inside the sim and in real life. Too many folks drive recklessly in a sim than go straight into driving in real life...
happened to a guy i know he thought the traction was like in forza horizon (he used to play on my race sim) and when he got his first car he crashed on the first corner he took at high speed lmao
first thing i noticed was how realistic the movement was . I was like this guys got the worlds best gaming mouse. Then i saw the eye tracker. Total game changer i might have to buy one now!
@AlphaProject hi man thank you! Whenever you get a chance, can you do one that goes through LA amd Baton Rouge and New Orleans?! I wonder if landmarks like LSU stadium and the Saints' Caesers Palace Superdome would be shown?! You can see LSU stadium off the Mississippi River Bridge (I-10) and the Superdome in NOLA off of 10
@@alpha2project Rq ? I bought the zeemods engine sound pack you use, but how do you get that popping sound when shifting gears, I'm not very knowledgeable on trucks, I guess it sounds like a radiation detection sound on like a Geiger counter.
Just watching this brings me a ton of memories. I used to run flatbed along this route almost every week. Obviously very compressed, but I am shocked at how detailed and accurate this is to real life. Especially the Haugan median scale. Spent many a nights there!
I am aswell! Do you play American truck simulator? I personally feel like they could have done more with Houston but I want to hear other opinions. To me, a ton of reasonable detail was left out
This is reminiscent of my grandfather who drove us, as kids, from Pennsylvania to Alaska and back, twice, with dually pick up and fifth wheel camper. Hitting as many states as possible along the way.
I couldn't imagine beinb able to sit there that long and make the whole trip. It must have been realistic feeling as hell. Thanks for bringing this vid to us and having the courage to make it through. Amazing ! Really enjoyed it.
My wife sometimes says like "just play like An hour maybe"...I'm like, have you even seen the game? One hour is like just picking up the trailer and go to the next town and that's it... ATS needs minimum 3hrs
5:26:41 That antenna is actually present in Delta Junction. The couple buildings present on the left as you pass thru town are relatively accurate. Quite impressive.
Tell you what, I haven't watched much of this, but it's great to work to having it on for background noise. Must admit, I do switch over to see what's happening when I hear sirens or the bells ringing for a train crossing, hoping a truck's stuck on the rails or something 🤣
Yo as someone who played Euro truck simulator with American mods as well as ATS, THANK YOU for using cab view!!!!!! I hate seeing so many streamers and the only thing they use is 3rd person view. It really takes away from the game, so yeah Thank you!!!
This is so cool man. I'd like to watch the whole thing now but I'm not sure if I should get the Texas DLC first and experience the whole thing myself beforehand.
Thanks! It's always better to experience it yourself first. Then again, Texas is really big and this video only covers some of it, there's plenty of cool places left to explore.
I've done this route but from Vancouver, that road trough British Columbia is absolute nuts and also even more incredible is how it only goes trough one province.
Awesome, I used to drive myself and was always a fan of big trucks. However, I have not been able to drive since my MS diagnosis. I drove across Europe. At least I still have ETS2 and ATS left today. The longest I drove in the game was about 3000 miles, I sat there for 5 hours, then my fingers gave up. Cool project anyway 🥰🥰😎😎
Amazing tour Thank you! I love how there is no talking or music just the truck and road noises. The only thing I would have liked is a map picture(like a road map) of the section of driving each day, I'm old school and grew up on studying maps of where I wanted to go as a kid.
I recently did a delivery from Austin Texas to Seattle Washington. It was about at least a 2230 miles trip and took me about close to two days (game time) to complete ( close to 3 hrs real time). If not counting passes to weighing stations or that missed turn i took by the Big I in Albuquerque though. It was the longest delivery i ever did so far in ATS. I'm hoping to do a return trip not too soon, if with at least a Seattle to Austin delivery or departing any place in Washington to arrive to any place in Texas.
I had no idea SCS was involved with making this game. I played their 18 Wheels of Steel games back in the day; I would’ve killed to play this as a kid. The old games were VERY limited in what they could do. Watching those doubles pass you in the beginning blew my mind. I drive doubles now. The old games couldn’t do that! I’ve only just started watching this; I don’t know if you drive IRL too, but I’d give yourself some more following distance. Just my 2 cents.
SCS has come a long way since the 18WoS games, honestly they've been an amazing company, developing these games for years after launch and listening to the community. I do drive IRL, even worked as a truck driver for a little while, but yes I tend to drive too close sometimes, something I have to watch out for, thanks for the input :)
I would love to accept the challenge of doing a trip that far! That’s incredible! I just need a customer that’s moving To Alaska to start that Journey!
My boss handed me a brand new canary yellow W900L in 98'. I drove it for 17 years and put a little over 2 million miles on it. I miss that truck like it's a dead relative lol.
One of my favorite hobbies is watching these kinds of videos with the "Need for Speed" ost on in the background, i find the racing music amusing considering how carefully done the driving is. (plus its just good music - listening to "Need for Speed hot pursuit 2" if anyone is curious)
Back 25 years ago when i started driving. We'd do 4 to 5000 in 7 days. Running 2 log books. One run i used to do was down to mcallen TX. I would leave thursday at midnight and be back home sunday at noon. 1850 miles. 2 and half days. Man are those days far gone. Was good times tho.
Last month I have been in the longest trip of my life. My wife, my 2 dogs and I moved from Orlando, Florida to Edmonton, Alberta, in a 2012 Silverado 1500. It was a 2800 mi / 4500 km trip, we crossed 8 US states (FL, GA, TN, KY, IL, WI, MN and ND), then we crossed the border and through SK to AB. It was an amazong trip, beautiful scenery, we caught a heavy blizzard in ND, gigantic traffic in Atlanta, but everything went good! I miss this trip everyday. I still wake up wanting to jump in the truck and drive for like 7h more. This video gave me some good memories. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I love the sound of that geiger counter each and everytime theres shifting of gears involved 😂. And the traffic AI is just broken. But everything else is a masterpiece in this game Nice ride, man. Well done!!!
Whoa the way this starts off in South Texas is awesome. Ive been through those inspection stations while traveling north through Texas. Although the distances arent really accurate, the landmarks are pretty accurate.
before I clicked the video, I thought it's a real video, but I like it. All the roads are based from real roads, right? the locations and everything? I really like this, in GTA San Andreas I used to play so much with the truck!

Alaska mod doesn't play friendly with Canadream mod. It works with the latest coast to coast mod, but here is the tricky bit, there are still holes in the roads on the c2c map, which where not there before I added the alaska mod, but no worries, c2c still works. I want to add mexico but i have always had issues with getting it to work. I have no idea if it will or won't work with alaska mod. This mod is not compatible with map fixes like montana, midwest etc. This map mod is worth buying. It supports current 1.46. ATS, just don't update the sim before the mod creator updates alaska mod or it will crash your sim. I am going to drive from key west to prudhoe bay, no idea how many mi/km it is, but its huge a distance! Oh when you buy the mod, you will always get updates to it for free for the life of the mod.

@@alpha2project yeah I'll be faliing asleep 😪 if I drive that far. I drove from Colorado to Middle of south America in my Volvo truck took three hrs. 😯😂👍🏽
The amount of effort needed to do this is crazy, looking forward to more, and I really enjoyed (a bit) of the video, as I cant watch the 6h long video, i'll continue later!
Not often do I see a 6 hour video, but then based on your channel size you are pretty small so your not really "making" much from this, I think you deserve S for Effort. (Sub)
It's quite remarkable how well ATS modeled these routes. They all look exactly the same as what you'd see in real life, down to the foliage alongside the road, the highway signs, inspection stations, rest stops, etc. They really perfected that "travelling in America" vibe.
This is incredible. Just wondering, how did you find a specific job that went the whole way to the other side of the map? Is there a mod where you can create your own jobs?
Thank you youtube algorithm for giving me another ATS video. This is how I find the best map mods, and it seems the ones here are pretty dang good. I'll be adding these.
used to do Reykjavik to Beirut in ETS2. ATS is starting to look all the same in the US to me as they expand the states, and who am not familiar with the local area nuances.
Wow what an awesome drive man. Alaska is an amazing map mod. I just have one question. How did you set up the load? Did you use something to manually dispatch the load or did you somehow luck out and find the load in the freight market?
Thanks! I refreshed the market about 50 times until I found a good load going from Corpus Christi to Prudhoe Bay, then got to Browsville and started the video :)
Not sure how often you'll be cruising behind the tour bus up the Dalton Highway or the dude in the Mustang with the top down rolling around Prudhoe Bay at -7 but hey to each their own.
A lot of the drive in this video was a large chunk of the route I took when I drove from Houston Texas to somewhere just south of Seattle Washington. It's really cool to see that.

Did it in 3 days, couldn't drive for nearly 7 hours straight :D
@@alpha2project yeah I'll be faliing asleep 😪 if I drive that far. I drove from Colorado to Middle of south America in my Volvo truck took three hrs. 😯😂👍🏽
Alaska? My longest at the moment is Houston to N.Washington with a wide load ...hoping to get the east of the map dlcs to get a longer run.
The amount of effort needed to do this is crazy, looking forward to more, and I really enjoyed (a bit) of the video, as I cant watch the 6h long video, i'll continue later!
my biggest complaint about ATS is how abruptly the merge lanes onto the freeways end... they have plenty of room to make them realistic...
True, but they have improved a lot, in the early days of ETS2, it was way worse.
@@alpha2project well thats good that they improved it. i assume it would be difficult to mod that specifically.
I really sat here and watch 6 hours of this And I'll do it again
Not often do I see a 6 hour video, but then based on your channel size you are pretty small so your not really "making" much from this, I think you deserve S for Effort. (Sub)
Thank you!
And to say the least it must of been worth it, 1M+ Views, congratulations!
It's quite remarkable how well ATS modeled these routes. They all look exactly the same as what you'd see in real life, down to the foliage alongside the road, the highway signs, inspection stations, rest stops, etc. They really perfected that "travelling in America" vibe.
Hi awesome video alpha. Quick question are you using any graphics mods if yes what is because looks awesome
Hey, thanks for the support :) I'm not using any graphics mods here.
The Effort Man! It's like a movie ❤️
This is incredible. Just wondering, how did you find a specific job that went the whole way to the other side of the map? Is there a mod where you can create your own jobs?
Thank you youtube algorithm for giving me another ATS video. This is how I find the best map mods, and it seems the ones here are pretty dang good. I'll be adding these.
Thanks for watching :)
used to do Reykjavik to Beirut in ETS2. ATS is starting to look all the same in the US to me as they expand the states, and who am not familiar with the local area nuances.
Wow this looks freakin awesome! I can't believe mods for ATC did it better than Alaskan Road Truckers haha.
Man... How much experience points did this net you when the job was done?
I used to live in San Antonio and Pueblo. Northern Ave had a lot of street racers when I lived there in the 90s in Pueblo
Wow what an awesome drive man. Alaska is an amazing map mod. I just have one question. How did you set up the load? Did you use something to manually dispatch the load or did you somehow luck out and find the load in the freight market?
Thanks! I refreshed the market about 50 times until I found a good load going from Corpus Christi to Prudhoe Bay, then got to Browsville and started the video :)
Great adventure! I have been driving in American Truck Simulator in Colombia and the views are also amazing, keep your fantastic work!
Thanks! :)
I’ve always wondered if any private drivers or company ever had anyone drive a load of freights this far from states to states just to deliver goods?
They do
Traveling back and forth Texas and Alaska 😔😌🥱🤭🙂🙂🥵🌬️🌬️
This was so cool! Amazing video! I cant wait to get promods canada :)
I thought this was real life for a minute lol
How did you go through Canada to the Alaska on American truck simulator I want to do that right now 😂
I have linked all the necessary mods in the description :)
That turbo never got old and good work long vide even longer editing ❤
Appreciation for the effort, you're insane man!
Thanks!
Not sure how often you'll be cruising behind the tour bus up the Dalton Highway or the dude in the Mustang with the top down rolling around Prudhoe Bay at -7 but hey to each their own.
A lot of the drive in this video was a large chunk of the route I took when I drove from Houston Texas to somewhere just south of Seattle Washington. It's really cool to see that.
The amount of effort put into this video is insane, i mean it probably took you close to 7 hours without the cuts, good work man, keep it up!
Yeah, spent a lot of time on it + the upload took about 28 hours :D
