World of Trucks Events Temporarily Paused

punk0 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorEuro Truck SimulatorNews2026achievementnewsreworkscswotr

SCS Software has announced a temporary pause of World of Trucks events. According to the developers, this decision was made to allow time for improvements to the systems and infrastructure that support these events.

The goal of this rework is to better integrate event features directly into the game. Planned improvements include the ability to track progress, view achievements, and claim rewards without leaving the game interface.

The studio also mentioned additional ideas currently in development, but more details will be shared later when plans are finalized. Events are expected to return once these improvements are completed.

In the meantime, SCS Software will continue releasing new content and updates for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.

Support Trucksim!

Hello everyone and welcome to Trucksim blog,

I revived my Patreon and supporter already getting extra content and faster updates.

I wanted to have an honest conversation with you about Trucksim and its future.

What This Project Is

For over 5 years, I’ve been creating detailed map combo tutorials, hidden road guides, and 100% discovered profiles for both ETS2 and ATS. Every major game update, every DLC release, every map mod version – I’m there documenting it, testing combinations, and making sure you have working setups.

The blog (trucksim.top) and YouTube channel exist because I genuinely love this community and these games. But here’s the reality: this is a hobby that takes significant time and effort.

The Real Numbers

Currently, the YouTube channel generates about $40-50 per month from ads. To put that in perspective:

  • Each map combo tutorial takes 6-10 hours (testing, recording, editing, writing)
  • 100% map discovery guides take 50-60 hours of gameplay per version
  • Hidden roads compilations require meticulous exploration and documentation
  • The blog requires constant updates, hosting, and maintenance

I earn more in a couple hours at my regular job than the channel generates in a month. This has always been about community contribution, not income.

Why I’m Setting Up Patreon

I want to keep creating these guides. The community clearly finds them valuable – you watch them, use the profiles, and follow the tutorials. But as the games grow more complex (70+ map combos, over 350 hidden roads in ATS and ETS2, massive map expansions), the time commitment keeps increasing.

Patreon isn’t about getting rich. It’s about making this sustainable as a hobby without feeling like I’m working for free.

What You Get

Free Content (Always):

  • All YouTube tutorials remain free
  • All blog guides remain free
  • All profiles and save files remain free
  • Nothing changes for people who can’t or don’t want to support

For Patreon Supporters:

  • Early access to new map combos and guides (1-3 days before public release)
  • Early access to discovered profiles
  • Behind-the-scenes content about the creation process
  • Input on which content to prioritize next
  • My genuine gratitude for keeping this sustainable

Tiers

$3/month – Coffee Supporter

  • Early access to all guides and profiles
  • Patron-only updates

$10/month – Elite Supporter

  • Everything above
  • Vote on upcoming content
  • Special thanks in video descriptions
  • Custom map combo consultation (within reason)

The Bottom Line

If 50 people support at $3/month, that’s $150 – roughly what it costs me in time to maintain this project monthly at a minimum wage equivalent. If 100 people support at $3/month, I can justify dedicating more regular time to this instead of feeling guilty about not working on paid projects.

If you’ve ever:

  • Saved hours using one of my profiles
  • Successfully set up a complex map combo thanks to a tutorial
  • Found all the hidden roads using my guides
  • Appreciated having free, detailed documentation

…and you can afford $3-10/month, please consider supporting.

If you can’t afford it – that’s completely fine. Everything stays free. I mean that sincerely.

What Happens If Support Doesn’t Come?

Honest answer: I’ll keep making content, but less frequently. I’ll focus only on major updates (new DLCs, significant map releases) instead of every minor version. The quality won’t drop, but the quantity will.

Thank You

Whether you support financially or just watch/read – thank you for being part of this community. Truck sim modding is a niche, but it’s a passionate one, and I’m proud to contribute to it.

Let’s keep this truck rolling (sorry, had to).

Map Combo Study 03.19.2026

Since we already have news and signals that new game version 1.59 is around the corner below big versions of map combo can be final, unless something interesting happens on ETS2 1.58. I started later with map combo setups but now we are good in Europe and America with big and giga combinations. I’m not rushing out a combo setup just to be first. I’m not interested in clickbait or quick tricks to gain views. Instead, I will release a combination setup that I personally enjoy and would actually use myself — even if that means it comes out later and don’t updates every day.

There are already well-established rules and best practices that help avoid conflicts and common mistakes I’ve covered in Beginner’s Guide, which I strongly recommend watching before building or updating your map combo. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

ETS2 1.59 Update Introduces Volvo Trucks Experience Center

punk1 commentsEuro Truck SimulatorMapsNews1:11.59ETS2newsscandinaviaVolvo

The upcoming 1.59 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will introduce a unique new location created in collaboration with Volvo Trucks — the Volvo Trucks Experience Center in Gothenburg, Sweden. This famous facility, located in Volvo’s hometown, combines brand exhibition areas with a professional test track designed to demonstrate the performance and technology of Volvo’s latest trucks.

In the game, the center has been recreated almost at a true 1:1 scale, allowing players to explore the facility and drive the full testing circuit. The track features a variety of driving conditions including fast curves, technical corners, elevation changes, and downhill sections, giving players a chance to test truck handling, braking, and stability beyond normal highway driving.

SCS Software paid special attention to detail when recreating the location, including parking areas and the surrounding environment to match the real-world site as closely as possible. Players will be able to discover the entrance near Gothenburg while exploring the map, although access requires ownership of the Scandinavia DLC.

The developers also visited the real Experience Center to collect references, sounds, and driving impressions, even testing trucks like the Volvo FH Electric and FH16 780 to ensure authenticity.

This addition highlights the strong partnership between SCS Software and Volvo Trucks and promises ETS2 players another realistic and immersive driving experience when update 1.59 releases.

Currently on version 1.58 we have 100% discovered maps for both games. In ETS2, guide and files for previous version is still actual, so I did not do updated version.

However, in ATS, we received a major map update with the Route 66 rework and new guide is here. But we’re expecting the Illinois DLC soon, so new challenges ahead.

All news as always comes first on telegram channel and Patreon subscribers.
