ATS – Simtrucking

ATS – South Dakota DLC

September 24th the South Dakota DLC for American Truck sim was released. And I have to say it’s excellent. Biggest selling point for South Dakota is Mount Rushmore of course, but the rest of the state is very well done as well.

Mount Rushmore South Dakota ATS DLC — Mount Rushmore – South Dakota

Other sites to be seen:

Badlands National Park, a dramatic maze of layered rock spires and buttes unlike anywhere else in America.
Deadwood, the legendary gold rush town where Wild Bill Hickok played his final hand.
Missouri River crossings, where the great river divides the rolling east from the rugged west of the state.

Also released was the Ford car pack. So you can now drive around in a regular car in ATS and visit tourist spots. Haven’t done this that much yet, the cars have a somewhat odd feeling to them. It’ll take some time to get used to them I guess.

The next DLC will be for Europe Truck Sim II, where we get Iceland! And soon there after the coaches DLC, so we can drive tourists around. Looking forward to that one.

Missouri

The Missouri DLC was released in april! And of course we did have an event, which I finished recently. Here are some screenshots.

Greece DLC and Xmas 2024

These two events are still going, they overlapped during the Xmas holiday! A nice opportunity to go trucking during the holiday season :). I completed both.

The Greece was quite a bit of work, 15 deliveries over 200km and it seemed the time traveled on the boats in between island didn’t count. The Xmas event, this time names ‘back to winterland’ was the same as last year. The winterland itself was a little improved with better lightning etc. this year. It was fun though.

Here are some screenshots of both events.

Arkansas & Hauloween

Two events the past month! You can read the roundup here. Finally we got the checkbox list to keep track of where you have already been to, no need for a notepad anymore!

Here are some more shots from Arkansas.

And some shots from Hauloween

And now we’re heading towards the Greece expansion next week and of course the Xmas delivery event.

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.

American Truck Simulator – Idaho

Here are a bunch of screenshots of Idaho. It has become one of my favorite states / DLC of the game. I am sure the upcoming Colorado DLC will be awesome as well !

ATS Utah

Lately I have been playing more American Truck Sim. Ever since the last few DLCs came. They add more diversity to the terrain and make the whole experience a lot better than just driving through the desert most of the time ;). Love the new Utah dlc. Here are some screenshots from my recent travels.

ATS : New Mexico DLC

Finally a new state was added to American Truck Sim : New Mexico. Drive east from Arizona and you can drive to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Roswell and other cities ;). It’s one of the games best DLC (including ETS2), very nice eye for details, and added a lot of fun things and stuff to see along the way. But it’s still ATS, in which you can drive across an entire state in like 15mins …

Anyway, I streamed the game last sunday, it was quite fun. You can check the video either on twitch or on Youtube !
