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.
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:
Great Plains Calling! Bundle
This amazing bundle includes Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico.
