Why the ETS2 and ATS not realistic and has strange scale?
Another episode of trucksim podcast where I talk about trucks simulator games realism – connection between real life cities roads and landscapes with their game representation.
TruckersMP Easter Event
The TruckersMP yearly Easter Event is back, this time with both a delivery event and an egg hunt! The Eggspress Delivery takes place from April 13th until April 27th. The Easter Egg Hunt takes place on April 20th.
TMP constructed a brand new chocolate factory just outside Frankfurt, where all the chocolate eggs and bunnies are being produced.
Delivery of the chocolate bunnies are required to locations across Europe. However, due to the heat, several bunnies melted. To pick up these chocolate bunnies, head to the chocolate factory just outside Frankfurt.
As a reward for taking part in the Eggspress Delivery, you will receive a special achievement on your profile as well as a Bunny accessory if the community goal is met.
Save on ATS expansions with bundles
It is already 17 state DLC released for American Truck Simulator to date. Unless California, Nevada and Arizona are available for free, all other states are chargeable and if you start purchasing expansion from the scratch it can be really costly. For sure, better way to buy add-ons on sales but you can save even more with bundles and for now we have already 5 bundles which includes not only map DLC but also other nice add-ons. And one of the benefit of bundles that it gives discount on total price but if already have DLCs from the list its price will be excluded. Below you can find all available bundles including brand new with Missouri DLC:
