Map Combo Study 01.10.2025
Mega map combo for ETS2 1.57 is still baking since the latest one (below) was be a bit controversial and a temporary patch (primary to combine Promods 2.80 and Nordic Horizons and add Beyond). New one which I hope to finish on the weekend or later next week will be much bigger and more saturated. For ATS is more or less clear and latest Louisiana combo is working well and American setups is on pause for now.
As always I strongly recommend to start with beginner’s guide and do not ask same questions again and again in the comments and TG channel.
Before you start please always check if the guide you see latest and actual (check dates and videos availability). Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide. In some cases you need to create new profile for stable work of maps especially if your old profile have pieces of deleted mods, garages, trucks etc.
Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems. I do not support stolen or pirated content so if you use it – Trucksim isn’t your place.

100% discovered study 01.09.2026
If you are a fan of ETS2 and ATS maps discoverability, like I am, and have no time and desire to visit every small part of map, then Trucksim is the best source since periodically after the game updates, new expansion and reworks I discover the roads and cities and share not only profile but also a text version with strings which you can inject to your game.sii and get the same results in couple minutes. Unfortunately it consumes a lot of my time and effort (both discovery and video guides). But I receive in return your positive feedback, likes and guides views on Youtube.
I’m trying to optimize the process and e.g. for American Truck Simulator do AI voiceover and reuse the guide so the ATS tutorial video many times faster (and I share this more often.)
Currently we have 100% in ATS 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC and you see the guide below and I’m on the home stretch in Europe as well so probably ETS2 guide with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia refresh will be done in January. As well as secret roads guide.
If you’re using older strings (for instance for 1.56) they will sill work but undiscovered areas will remain grey.
[Guide] ATS 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Louisiana) (December 2026, ATS 1.57, all map DLCs with Louisiana)
100% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.56 (Profile and save game) (September 2025, ETS2 1.56, all map DLCs up to Greece, not includes Scandinavia Rework and Nordic Horizons DLC)
I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.
How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – 2026 Guide
New game versions updates are here so we will also see the mods updates and it is perfect time to make you perfect profile.
In this guide I explain 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 1.57 and in both ETS2 and ATS. I have currently 100% in US and bout 93% in Europe so below you can find links to ready strings to latest versions.
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.

Map Combo Study 12.29.2025
With the version 1.57 for ETS2 and ATS we got new content expansions in Europe and America and map combinations – especially in ETS2 – were in challenging mode. For ATS is more or less clear and latest Louisiana combo is working well. But in Europe until yesterday we had to build separate setups for combo with or without Nordic Horizons because the DLC collided with several major mods. Promods with new DLC integration is released and we have now some options to create combo with Promods 2.80 and other maps. So the assembly of Mega combo is now WIP on my side and I hope we will see New Year edition of map combo in last days of 2025. But if I will not finish it I still would recommend you to wait to the moment when all fixes and connections will be ready and until that use below guides.
WIP and plans:
ETS2 1.57:
Mega Map Combo with incorporated Nordic Horizons, Promods, Middle East and dozens of other maps
Light Map combo without NH
ATS 1.57:
Big Map combo with updated maps (E.g. Beyond) (next week or later)
As always I strongly recommend to start with beginner’s guide and do not ask same questions again and again in the comments and TG channel.
Before you start please always check if the guide you see latest and actual (check dates and videos availability). Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide.

[Guide] ATS 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Louisiana)
I explored 100% of Pelican State finally and in the video I’m sharing the guide how to do it on your side as well as tools and files. Text file with discovered items and fresh profile with opened map. Please note that these files are actual for current state of the game in January 2026 on ATS 1.57 and can be partially will work on later versions but always check if the new update available for this topic.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

Hidden Roads Study – December, 28 2025
As you know I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically. While ATS hidden roads guide has been updated with 245 roads, in ETS2 1.57 we have a lot of new roads in refreshed Scandinavia and Nordic Horizon DLC, and I’m still discovering them. I hope I will update the guide in the beginning of 2026 but it can take more time.
Actual list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America will be updated periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
ETS2 (updated 04.25.2025, actual on 1.57 without Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 80 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.
100% discovered study 12.27.2025
It is so many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side most previous guides and files are currently outdated. But I have some progress – ATS on 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC is almost done and the guide will be released in 2025, but in Europe I have only 92.75% with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia refresh. So European update will take time and will be released in 2026. I concentrated on finding secret roads as well so while in US it is all shown in video, for Nordic Europe I found dozen of roads and discovery is still goes on.
If you’re still on 1.56 below you can find guides for both games. They will work on newer versions but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

100% Explored map with all DLC in ATS 1.56 * Full Map Discovered, Guide, Profile (September 2025, ATS 1.56, all map DLCs up to Iowa)
Since 2017 I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. Nordic Horizons, refreshed Scandinavia and Louisiana will probably finished in 2026. And as soon as my progress will be finished I will share it on Youtube and here the blog.
245 Hidden Roads in ATS 1.57 (with Louisiana). Secret Roads, Towns and Easter eggs
The guide contains 245 hidden roads in 19 states (including Louisiana DLC) on American Truck Simulator. It is actual for January 2026, on ATS 1.57.
Some roads are periodically disappear during map reworks and some new are being added in new game versions. Mostly I added marked roads but also some easter eggs are available.
And we are waiting the new states in 2026 – announced Illinois and South Dakota, expansion to Canada in British Columbia.
I tried to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video.
Hidden and secret roads doesn’t affect percentage of map discovery.
