You can check out the other stats on their site! I completed both events as well and did some extra gift deliveries during the Xmas hollidays. Here are a few screenshots.

Christmas Trucking

Every christmas for a few years now, SCS has a christmas event where you deliver Christmas gifts. And this year I participated once again. Got my 12 packages delivered, which was fun to do during the holidays around new years and christmas, in both Eurotruck & American truck sim. And I did some extra, they also pay very well, which is nice for ATS, since I am not very rich yet in that one ;). Here are some screenshots !

The Special Transport DLC

This DLC is now available for only 4,99 and it adds quite a bit of fun to the game. A special transport can now be gotten from one of the cities mentioned in an email you get (in game), once you buy the DLC. I’ve made a video going from Brussels to Amsterdam you can check out below.

Also took a bunch of screenshots you can see in the album here. Enjoy :).

Italia DLC

On december 5th this new DLC was launched ! I did a few streams (one of them linked below, check the youtube channel for more) on that day and thereafter.

It’s pretty good ! Lots of attention to detail, new type of roads, garages, pickup points for cargo and overall lovely scenery. Especially liked Sicily, wonderful little towns there.

ETS2 Bella Italia

And the next MAP DLC will be … (drumroll)

Italy !

Well that’s going to be great :). We’ll be able to drive from Sicily or South Italy all the way to Sweden or Norway.

You can read the details here at the SCS blog :

In other news, double trailers in 1.28 are currently in beta for ATS and ETS2, have been trying them out a little and it certainly is a lot of fun. WIll definately be recording ETS2 doubles once they’ve been released !

First Vive La France Videos

Today I recorded the first trip in France. In this one I drive mainly in central France to Montpellier ! It was about 50mins of footage so I split it in half. This is the first part, I just rendered the second half, should be up soon as well.

It was a bit of an ordeal to split it, the original 8Gb file proved a bit too much for most editors to handle (strangely enough). I just added my commentary track and rendered the video in Nero 2016. Then loaded that one in Nero 2016 and cut off the 1st part, and added the in and out fades etc. This time it worked perfectly. The GTX 1070 is so fast in rendering, it helps a lot :).
