Started 27,000 kilometers long haul
Last week I started a really long haul with 27k km from South America to Asia with 70 mod maps of Giga Map Combo. I’m sharing my experience on Youtube channel and it will be long series so perhaps part of these footages will be on my second old channel. Currently released two parts of the trip and I’m still in Argentina and drove in to Chile. And it is EAA map with rescale.
I know that silent driving videos attract not a big audience and most of you are waiting for hot guides for map mod combinations or secret reveals, but some people are still like to relax and watch those calm videos.
All Hidden Secret Roads in ETS2 1.57
The guide contains about 110 hidden roads in 22 countries and 10 map DLC on Euro Truck Simulator 2. It is actual for February 2026, on ETS2 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.
I tried to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video

Map Combination Beginners Guide and Secrets for ATS & ETS2 1.57 (2026)
Map Combos for SCS trucking games are not an easy for newcomers. So you can find lot of ready setups for actual version, including here on Trucksim, but before start better to avoid obvious mistakes. In this guide I’m explaining how to build map combo for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) or American Truck Simulator (ATS), from how to download and combine maps, to tricks how to avoid crashes. I will cover the basics for beginners. Guide made in 2024 but is still actual in January 2026 on game versions 1.57 and latest DLCs

100% discovered study 01.24.2026
Currently we have 100% in ATS 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC and you see the guide below but in Europe took more time than I expected so probably ETS2 guide with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia rework won’t be finished in January. Update is really big so it’s deserved to wait a little. For sure all the hidden roads will be in it but you can watch them right now in the video. The full guide is also still not ready but I hope this weekend it will be available on Patreon. But for 100% in ETS2 1.57 expected date is February 2026. If you’re using older strings (for instance for 1.56 below) they are still work but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

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.

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.
Cruising Louisiana event is still goes on
As always with the new DLC for American Truck Simulator we get World of Trucks event and this time it’s #CruisingLouisiana – typical but still attractive since we can discover new state and get another trophy on ours Wotr page.
Rules and rewards are pretty equal as for other “Cruising” events so if if you played it once just apply to the new names or read details in SCS Blog.

Supporting Trucksim: Help Keep This Resource Free for Everyone
Hello everyone,
I wanted to have an honest conversation with you about Trucksim and its future.
What This Project Is
For over 5 years, I’ve been creating detailed map combo tutorials, hidden road guides, and 100% discovered profiles for both ETS2 and ATS. Every major game update, every DLC release, every map mod version – I’m there documenting it, testing combinations, and making sure you have working setups.
The blog (trucksim.top) and YouTube channel exist because I genuinely love this community and these games. But here’s the reality: this is a hobby that takes significant time and effort.
The Real Numbers
Currently, the YouTube channel generates about $40-50 per month from ads. To put that in perspective:
- Each map combo tutorial takes 6-10 hours (testing, recording, editing, writing)
- 100% map discovery guides take 50-60 hours of gameplay per version
- Hidden roads compilations require meticulous exploration and documentation
- The blog requires constant updates, hosting, and maintenance
I earn more in a couple hours at my regular job than the channel generates in a month. This has always been about community contribution, not income.
Why I’m Setting Up Patreon
I want to keep creating these guides. The community clearly finds them valuable – you watch them, use the profiles, and follow the tutorials. But as the games grow more complex (70+ map combos, 245 hidden roads just in ATS, massive map expansions), the time commitment keeps increasing.
Patreon isn’t about getting rich. It’s about making this sustainable as a hobby without feeling like I’m working for free.
What You Get
Free Content (Always):
- All YouTube tutorials remain free
- All blog guides remain free
- All profiles and save files remain free
- Nothing changes for people who can’t or don’t want to support
For Patreon Supporters:
- Early access to new map combos (1-3 days before public release)
- Early access to discovered profiles
- Behind-the-scenes content about the creation process
- Input on which content to prioritize next
- My genuine gratitude for keeping this sustainable
Tiers
$3/month – Coffee Supporter
- Early access to all guides and profiles
- Patron-only updates
$10/month – Elite Supporter
- Everything above
- Vote on upcoming content
- Special thanks in video descriptions
- Custom map combo consultation (within reason)
The Bottom Line
If 50 people support at $3/month, that’s $150 – roughly what it costs me in time to maintain this project monthly at a minimum wage equivalent. If 100 people support at $3/month, I can justify dedicating more regular time to this instead of feeling guilty about not working on paid projects.
If you’ve ever:
- Saved hours using one of my profiles
- Successfully set up a complex map combo thanks to a tutorial
- Found all the hidden roads using my guides
- Appreciated having free, detailed documentation
…and you can afford $3-10/month, please consider supporting.
If you can’t afford it – that’s completely fine. Everything stays free. I mean that sincerely.
What Happens If Support Doesn’t Come?
Honest answer: I’ll keep making content, but less frequently. I’ll focus only on major updates (new DLCs, significant map releases) instead of every minor version. The quality won’t drop, but the quantity will.
Thank You
Whether you support financially or just watch/read – thank you for being part of this community. Truck sim modding is a niche, but it’s a passionate one, and I’m proud to contribute to it.
Let’s keep this truck rolling (sorry, had to).

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.
If you don’t have experience with map combos please first watch Beginner’s Guide
