Both ETS2 and ATS 1.55 released and obviously not all map mods updated and no combo for new version is available. Every day we observe new version of various maps and hope soon we will combine some maps on 1.55 but for now if you prefer big combos and long hauls please refer to available actual combos for 1.54

ATS:

17 Maps big map combo

ETS2:

Free Version Mega combo with 73 maps

ETS2 Giga Map Combo (67 maps)

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. 

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.
