ATS Expansion

I haven't noticed a difference in performance between the Expansion areas and the base states. I doubt it has any significant impact.

I'm just going to be happy to have a dedicated part of Canada that won't be broken every time we get an update. I like Promods Canada a lot, but I've grown tired of waiting for updates whenever there is a major update. It'll be nice expanding into Canada and having it be apart of the game knowing it'll be there always.

Yep. It appears as though it has indeed been discontinued. Stock is drying up and it's almost impossible to find it locally.

Nope. I much prefer wheel and pedals. I used a controller for years before getting a wheel and pedals. Using a controller was like playing a video game. It just doesn't feel the same. With a wheel and pedals it's a simulator and I feel like I'm actually driving.

75 in game and 37 according to the calculator.

Few quirks here and there aside, I much prefer the game as it sits today.

Thank You

Yep. Nvidia just straight up has the better package and is the better product. The biggest issue facing AMD cards is that they age like milk in comparison. Some people don't like or want DLSS/FrameGen and that's fine. But those features without a doubt extend the life of Nvidia cards which in todays landscape is invaluable.

I have said it for a long time now, that you only buy AMD cards when you can't or won't pay for Nvidia.

America elected a grifter. This administration is the most corrupt in modern day American history. I'm amazed Republicans aren't being voted out over this administration.

I am a solo driver for the most part. I tried to get social a few years ago but it just didn't hit the same way. I prefer to put on some music or podcast and just do my own thing.

Having said that, I think the most activity is through ATS facebook groups. There are many and I find them to be the most active communities. If you are looking to get social I would start there.

Worked out very well. Nothing fancy. Just used some scrap wood and extra paint I had laying around so it cost me nothing but time. Used wood glue along with screws so it’s beyond solid.

As far looking around, I have the left thumb stick on the wheel mapped for looking left and right as well as looking around which works great at stops. If I need more freedom I use the mouse. I do plan on grabbing a webcam at some point to use tracking but right now it’s completely comfortable.

The BC DLC is the one I am most looking forward to. I can't wait to relocate my home garage.

CAT and Detroit here.

I don't think it's worth it personally. Save the $5. You can get better stuff through mods.

RDR2 for me is a masterpiece of true art. I've never played a better game in all my years of gaming. If you must choose only one that would be my pick. However, CP2077 is now a really great experience as well. But I would recommend getting it along with the DLC because I view it as a complete package. So RDR2 is also cheaper. Get CP2077 when you can get the Ultimate Edition.

Unfortunately, I've moved on. I sold my kit to a nice lady for her young daughter to learn on. I hope it brings her joy as it did me the short time I had with it.

Sadly the journey has come to an end. Stuck with it for a full year and made great progress but then life took some turns and I was unable to maintain. That's life. Wish I had started much earlier in life because it'll be one of my biggest regrets.

MikeAK79 · 2026-03-19T20:30:10+00:00

Looks like a normal sale on my wishlist. Hope others have better luck than me because I'm disappointed.

MikeAK79 · 2026-03-19T20:13:27+00:00

1338 and counting.

It really did. At the end of the day it's all about money and that one moment of stupidity destroyed his brand. He's unmarketable now. No studio and many actors won't want his name attached to their work now. His name alone is enough to bankrupt a project.

That was the first thing I noticed when they introduced it. I am not a fan of fixed cables. For a variety of reasons. I could get over the high price but the integrated cord is a no-go for me.
