Today is that day. Iceland DLC will be released. SCS Software is celebrating the new expansion release with a new World of Trucks event, Cruising Iceland, starting also today. The Land of Fire and Ice is now open for business.

What’s in the DLC

14 cities to explore. SCS highlights the Ring Road (Route 1) around the whole island, the Haukadalur geothermal area where Strokkur erupts, the one-lane bridges where you have to yield, and colorful Reykjavík. Other features shown in the run-up include the Northern Lights, real Icelandic daylight hours, custom farms, quarries and a silica factory in Húsavík. Earlier previews also covered viewpoints like Gullfoss, Jökulsárlón and Goðafoss.

Cruising Iceland event

Eurafrica for ETS2 1.62 Released

punk0 commentsEuro Truck SimulatorMapsModsNews1.62ETS2Eurafricamaghrebmap modTrucksim

If you’ve been following the Eurafrica map mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2, here are updated versions for ETS2 1.62 just landed.

What Is Eurafrica?

For anyone new to it, Eurafrica is a personal, hand-crafted representation of Africa’s road network for ETS2, focused on the Maghreb region and beyond. It’s built to balance detail with performance, and comes packed with custom garages, companies, models, and genuinely challenging roads. It’s also compatible with major map mods like Promods and Roextended, so it slots into a lot of existing setups without a fight.

There are several video showcases on YouTube if you want to see it in action before diving in.

Changes in ETS2 1.62

  • New Arab stop signs are in EuraMag
  • 2 New custom pickup police (Maghreb and West)
  • 2 New custom taxi (Sandero in Maghreb and Duster in West)
  • New custom black colored walkers in West

As always: play safe, respect the terms, and enjoy the roads. 🚛

100% discovered study 11.07.2026

ATS and ETS2 1.62 are here, and I’m always getting ready to cover the entire vanilla maps with all DLC at 100%. The hero of this version is ETS2: this November we get the new Iceland DLC and a new way to explore the maps, by bus.

America is taking a break. On 1.62 it’s still 100%, so the ATS guide below is current, and the next big step will probably arrive in early 2027 with the British Columbia DLC.

The European guide is a bit outdated now. I created it for 1.60 and skipped the minor changes in 1.61, as well as the changes in 1.62, until Iceland rolls out on November 10th.

Promods 2.85 for 1.62 is also in the oven. I believe it will be integrated with vanilla Iceland and will later merge its own content into the new ETS2 expansion. I hope the Promods team won’t release a version without the Iceland DLC, as they did before with Nordic Horizons, just to ship a new version faster. Unfortunately, the community is pushing them, especially TruckersMP fans, so we may see two different versions again, which would obviously affect combo setups and create a mess again.

Below you can find 100% for ATS and ETS2. As well as 100% on ProMods 2.84.

Also let me remind you that my guides are less useful since starting of 1.61 we got Proximity Exploration feature and you can get your 100% with your truck or car (or later coach bus) without profile modifications and all this stuff.

ATS 1.61 – 100% Explored map with all DLC including South Dakota (October 2026, Actual on 1.62)

ETS2 1.60 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (July 2026, all map DLCs 99% on 1.62 before Iceland)

Promods 2.84 on ETS2 1.61 – 100% Explored Promods map (October 2026, including Vanilla, all DLC)

I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.

Hidden Roads Study – November, 4 2026

punk0 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorEuro Truck SimulatorMaps1.611.62ATSDLCEaster EggsETS2Guidehidden roadsIcelandProximity Explorationsecretssneak peekSouth Dakotateaser

Since 1.62 is here we have to do a recap what’s going on with hidden (or secret) roads in ATS and ETS2.
European guide was not updated since June 2026 and it is still actual until Iceland DLC we expect on November 10. But I’ve updated American guide added South Dakota as well as fixed some missed roads. Also updated flag of Utah in the video.
Please note that Proximity Exploration feature released in 1.61 can help you to find most of the secret roads without any guides. You can turn on or off the feature but anyway it is the biggest change in the game on this topic since 2022, when hidden roads came as markable objects in version 1.44. For sure some roads are real secret and even with this feature you need to go around all roads to find the location of unmarked path. So for some time I will continue to update my guides.
The next big update will be I after Iceland in ETS2 and British Columbia in ATS.
If I find any new roads or you suggest one I will not update it instantly since I skip mid-tier guide videos because of low views on YouTube. The same issue affects 100% discovery guides and map combo content. I know there’s interest from my audience, but without YouTube helping push this type of content, it quickly gets buried.

You can always check the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It probably won’t reveal the exact secret road locations, but it can help you figure out if you missed any areas.

ETS2 (updated 06.01.2026, actual on 1.62 with all map DLCs before Iceland, 114 roads so far)

ATS (updated 11.02.2026, actual on 1.62 with South Dakota DLC, 290 roads so far)

Collection of 10 found roads in South Dakota with locations footages.

Map Combo Study 11.02.2026

We finished with map combo in games version 1.61 and getting ready for the new release as well as new DLCs. But until that we still have time to enjoy the long distance journey on Europe and America.

ETS2 1.61

Giga map combo I’ve finished last week for ETS2 1.61 took more time that I expected , and it has taken more time than I expected but it became a solid update with 74 maps. I reduced count of maps in the final setup to release it faster and maybe will do some corrections on it but not sure.

ATS 1.61

Bigger American combo is also actual and can be satisfy you until we are waiting for 1.62. While in Europe we will see Iceland and Coaches DLC this November, in ATS there is no significant changes of the map with new version.

Don’t forget about Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.
