A quick status update on where the Map Combo Study stands.

ETS2 1.61: the mega combo is taking longer than planned

I’m building a big mega map combo for ETS2 1.61, and it has taken more time than I expected. A lot of new maps were released and many existing ones got updates, so the setup kept moving under my feet. Trucksim is a hobby project and my time is limited, so I’m deliberately not publishing interim versions. I’d rather put the effort into one major, properly tested setup than hand out a string of half-finished ones.

The goal is to finish the new ETS2 combo this weekend. I can’t promise it, but that’s the target.

ATS: the big combo is done

The good news is on the American side. The larger ATS map combo is finished, and it should stay current for the entire 1.61 cycle. It includes most of the free maps that are available and can be combined right now.

I had planned to add paid mods as well, but that needs its own additional setup, and again time is the limit. For now the ATS combo covers free maps only.

What else is on the list

Alongside the combos, there are a few things I want to finish:

• Events that still need to be wrapped up
• More varied videos built around my own routes (see the North Dakota Routes)
• 100% discovery guides
• Hidden roads guides

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.
