Cruising Nordic Horizons Event is still live until February, 1
The World of Trucks event – Cruising Nordic Horizons started with new DLC for ETS2 and if you’re still not joining – it is the chance to discover nice cities, roads and landscapes of Northern Europe and get some in-game perks like truck skin or cabin decorations. Rules of the event is pretty clear if you ever attended to SCS events – bring cargo with External contracts to or from cities of the new DLC.
Me personally already finished my goals. And Community goals reached so as soon as you finish it all the prizes will be open. But you have time until February 1st of 2026.
All Hidden Roads in Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia Reworks on ETS2 1.57
Currently available for Patrons
Hidden Roads Study – January, 15 2025
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve finished discovering all the new hidden roads in ETS2, including the refreshed Scandinavia and Nordic Horizon DLC content. We now have an impressive total of 109 secret roads across Europe! There will be two videos covering this: one featuring Nordic and Scandinavia footage, and another recap showing all ETS2 hidden road locations on the map. You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6, though the video guides will take some time to produce.
The bad news is that these videos haven’t been getting much traction. This isn’t your fault—it’s simply how YouTube’s algorithm promotes content. Unfortunately, this creates a challenge: these videos require significantly more time to create than they generate in visibility and engagement. Because of this, the Hidden Roads Study series will likely be put on hold or possibly discontinued. I’ll be focusing more on other types of guides and spending time enjoying the games themselves.
As for ATS, things are looking good! I’ve found 245 hidden roads so far. While the guide has only gotten around 400 views over the last 3 weeks, it’s still the most comprehensive hidden roads guide for American Truck Simulator available on YouTube.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. Actual spreadsheet list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America is updating 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.
Giga Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – January, 13 – 2026
As I mentioned in the latest setup, please hold on a bit longer – a better map combo will be available soon. Today, on January 13, we are ready to update. In addition to the base maps, I’ve added some smaller updates, and I would now consider this map combination as “Giga” rather than “Mega” (not only in the number of mods but also in area coverage). Thanks to the updated Hybrid RC, we can now combine Roextended with PM 2.80, RM 2.57.1 and PR as well. (If you know all these acronyms, you’re good!)
Today’s combo includes latest Promods, Roextended, Hybrid Connection, Rusmap, EAA, Eurafrica, Poland Rebuilding, Silesia, Beyond, Grand Utopia and other maps. 70 maps, 155 files, RCs, fixes. As always please follow the instructions in video and note that combo designed to version 1.57 and requires all map DLCs (including Nordic Horizons). Paid mods are optional. Extra mods are not recommended unless they are compatible with other mods and tested.

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.

Mega Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – January, 6 – 2026
I’m trying to combine all these maps available on ETS2 1.57 and it is really challenging job since Nordic Horizon release brought us vast of new areas and beautiful roads but also a mess for mod developers whose maps are use the same sectors as new DLC use. So initially we could make combo with or without Nordic Horizons DLC depending on mods we use. Promods has been release pretty fast update with merge of new DLC and Scandinavia reworked parts but new version 2.80 had no road connections and fixes for other maps so we lost Rusmap which was not ready for Nordic DLC and new Promods. Also we cannot incorporate Roextended (which is major part of Ukraine, Turkiye and the most convenient Hybrid road connection). A numerous third party fixes and attempts are still can be temporary solution but I decided to make a tradeoff setup until we are waiting proper connections and replace some regions with lower quality maps. So I can’t call this combo perfect and if you are still on the older setups from my channel I would recommend to take a time and don’t touch it since changes provided today is critical in some points and it is recommended to create a separate profile (as I do) for this combo. If you familiar with clone profile feature you can easy do the doppelganger of your previous profile and try to reproduce the changes I mention here. Make sure that you know what to do, follow exact load order and list of mods (except paid optional mods). Please remember that it is still work in progress setup and not well tested on my side.
Today’s combo includes Promods, Rusmap, EAA, Eurafrica, Poland Rebuilding, Grand Utopia and other maps. 52 maps, 117 files, RCs, fixes. As always please follow the instructions in video and note that combo designed to version 1.57 and requires all map DLCs (including Nordic Horizons). Paid mods are optional. Extra mods are not recommended unless they are compatible with other mods and tested.

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.

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.
