The Corn State (officially Hawkeye State) is coming to ATS soon and with portion of Official news (like review of Cedar Rapids, river ports, agriculture and even live preview) we have also some leaks and speculations. Now we see the map of the DLC which is looks realistic.

I assume that we see the release in the end of June-beginning of July right after ATS 1.55.

Updates for ATS in 1.55 (Cascadia and Farmer DLC)

0 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorNewsTrucks1.55ATScargoCascadiaDLCFarm Machineryfreightlinernewsscs

As part of the upcoming 1.55 update for American Truck Simulator it will be introduced a range of improvements and new customization options for the Freightliner Cascadia 2024. This includes new accessories, updated interior and exterior options, and more.Β 

Several new accessories will be added to allow for personalization of Freightliner Cascadia. This includes a paintable airdam, a vertical exhaust system, chrome side mirrors and filter fins, and a paintable sunvisor for the sleeper variant.
Inside the cabin will be added a new black interior variant, while also updating the existing tan and grey versions. Drivers will also have the choice between a traditional gauge cluster on their dashboard or a modern digital dashboard layout. With these additions, each sleeper configuration now includes six unique interior variants, giving you more options for a cabin.
On the exterior improvements of the sleeper’s details. The 72″ sleeper side walls have been remodeled, particularly around the window area. Blind spot sensors have also received an update, allowing them to function correctly with both the traditional A-pillar sensors and the digital mirror displays. The camera arms have also been adjusted, with their marker lights now functioning solely as turn indicators, reflecting real-world behavior more accurately.

In the upcoming 1.55 update for American Truck Simulator, it will be a small free update to the Farm Machinery DLC that includes a new cargo – Windrower! If you’ve ever seen neat rows of cut hay or crops lined up across a field, this is the machine behind that magic. Windrowers are used to cut and gather crops like hay or grains into long, tidy rows called windrows. This process helps the crops dry faster and makes it easier for the next machines, like balers or harvesters, to come in and collect them.
They’re big, wide, and built for the fields, but when it’s time to move them, it takes a skilled trucker with a lowboy trailer to get the job done. It’ll come in two color variants, there’s a green variant that looks right at home on any farm, and a yellow one that proudly features the logo of OWL, one of in-game farming equipment brands.

American Truck Simulator as well as Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now closer to version 1.55 and we also expecting open beta for games soon and for sure brand new Iowa DLC.

Latest big combos for Europe and America are actual.

ETS2 (1.54, all DLC, 67 maps)

ATS (1.54, all DLC, 16 Maps)

Probably I will not update combos for ATS and ETS2 for 1.54 unless some crucial changes in mods or in games. Most links are dynamic and updated versions available even if I do not mention it.

If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide which I’m planning to update soon with actual dates and new UI which came in 1.51 after this guide was recorded.

South Dakota announced officially

1 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorMapsNews1.552026ATSDLCMapnewsscsSouth DakotaTrucksimUSA

SCS Software excited to unveil next map expansion for American Truck Simulator, which will offer a blend of beautiful nature, vibrant cities, and the joy of the open road. Their teams are currently hard at work on South Dakota for American Truck Simulator

Welcome to the Mount Rushmore State! Nestled in the North Central Region of the United States, South Dakota offers a beautiful site for truckers to admire. The state is dominated by peaceful, wide-rolling plains – its eastern region belongs to the Prairie Plains, while the western part forms a portion of the Great Plains. This part of the landscape transitions from flat river valleys in the east to plateaus, buttes, and a canyon-scarred terrain in the west.

Most probably South Dakota will be released not earlier than 2026’s second part as of SCS schedule after Iowa (summer 2025), Illinois (end of 2025), Louisiana (spring 2026). The next logical DLC after SD will be either North Dakota or Minnesota. Or even Mississippi which is left on the South.

How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – 2025 Guide

0 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorEuro Truck SimulatorMapsMods1.541.55100%100% discovered map2025ETS2full mapGuideMap discoverymap modmergeprofilePromodsRoexRoExtendedTrucksimvanilla ets2

In this short guide I will explain you how to merge several profiles map discovery progress on example of merging vanilla 100% and Roextended 89% profiles on ETS2 1.53. You can try this scheme on 1.54 and in both ETS2 and ATS. Below you can find link to text version, tools and also ready strings used in this video (updated to 1.54).

Guide:

1. Reason
Merge discovered items in two profiles let you have updated visited roads in the end even if you exploring maps on different profiles. Also when the new version of the game is being released you can again discover as much as possible and then merge with your old combined profile.

2. Preparations and tools
Download and install software we plan to use – TS SE Tool, Notepad++, make sure that you have mods in mod folder if you plan to merge mod’s profile, make sure that Steam cloud disable for all profiles which will be changed, check config file if you can decrypt game files (g_save_format 2) and can use console (uset g_developer 1, uset g_console 1) and so on.

3. Backup
Backup all the profiles to the separate drive before doing any manipulations.

4. Profiles job
Enter to the profiles you wish to merge and save game to locate desired profiles by timestamp. You should carefully pick correct profiles. Decrypt profiles one by one and open game.sii in each mergeable profile and copy all discovered items to new text file (in this file we will merge them). We can merge 2 or more profiles but don’t forget that it should be from the same version of the game.

5. Merge (most important part)
When all discovered items strings pasted to the text file we have to change the order of numbers – the way as game read each string. Start from removing left part of the string (discovered_items []: ) with Notepad ++ command Find and Replace (Ctrl+C). On the Find what enter discovered_items \[\d+\]: and keep blank on Replace with (we have to remove them). Do not forget check Regular Expression in Search Mode. Replace all and you will get list of numbers. On this step you can also remove duplicates. Now we have to return discovered_items []: text with empty brackets. Alt+C and choose Text to insert and place there discovered_items []: and push ok. On the next step we have to add numbers to the brackets with correct order from 0. Select all in bracket spots (Choose first one and with Alt+Shift select last one) and again Alt+C and choose Number to insert – Initial should be 0, increased by 1, format decimal. Push ok and wait. If you have lot of string it can take a while. When all numbers added to brackets we can remove redundant spaces. Now we can copy strings and paste them to the target profile where will me merged result.

6. Results we get
We have to see discovered roads from 2 or more profiles we combined.

7. Back to play Load from profile where strings added and if you see desired result you can back to game but please bare in mind that recruitment agencies are not gonna work with this method so if you want to hire drivers you game will probably crash. To avoid it hire drivers before profiles modifications.

Iowa is coming

3 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorNews1.541.55ATSDLCIowa DLCsneak peekTrucksim

Hawkeye State will have its representation in American Truck Simulator and it will be very soon. You’ve already seen sneak peek video and additionally SCS released Iowa gameplay footage which means that new DLC is on the way.

We also have 4 hidden achievements for Iowa in Steam (The Hawkeye State, Piggy Express, Golden Acres Explorer and Madison County Bridge). So we have chance to see the new expansion on next version of the game – 1.55 is still not even on the open beta and it could be final release right before Iowa DLC in the June or July. And it means that we have one DLC per version since Missouri released in 1.54 (Arkansas was on 1.52, while on 1.53 we have seen big California rework). Good pacing. Together with another early revealed state (probably South Dakota, but can be combined Dakotas bundle) we have 4 DLCs work-in-progress.


We also can assume cities that would be in Iowa DLC. Count of 12. My family lived in Des Moines (Urbandale) and I know a little about capital city area but nothing more. Another relatively big cities are Cedar Rapids and Davenport. The rest are really small towns, Iowa not a bit state anyway. But we are sure that SCS will do its best to show all the state’s atmosphere.

SCS wrote in their blog: It’s incredible to think how far American Truck Simulator has come since its original release in 2016. From its humble beginnings in California with just a handful of trucks and states, the game has grown into a vast, immersive virtual world enjoyed by millions of players across the globe.

Over the years, developers introduced a wide range of features and improvements, both big and small, that have helped shape American Truck Simulator into what it is today. With updates including a complete UI overhaul and a new weather and lighting system, an updated gallery, the introduction of city intros, viewpoints, new cargoes, loads of new trucks, the Convoy multiplayer mode and more; ATS has continued to evolve with every update.
