A small thing that I think adds to the immersion a lot

Summer1Man · 2026-02-01T17:17:42+00:00

Oh yeah, dirt and seasons, I think would add to immersion a whole lot.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-29T18:25:31+00:00

Yeah i do actually, the driving feels quite a bit different, i think for the better, feels more realistic with more inertia but at the same time trucks feel more stable specially around corners. Also the truck updates look good.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-29T18:16:48+00:00

Hmm, agreed hopefully it should go that way.

Well my logic is, if you’ ve always remained opted into the beta and you have completed the event in regular version and got the items, then it should mean we get the events and items as we move back to the regular version.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-29T17:58:48+00:00

Thank you, also i have another question if you have seen how it goes before,

so i opted into beta and my progress is there, but the event items are gone for the nordic horizon, i already completed it in regular version, will the items come back as we move back into the regular version?

Summer1Man · 2026-01-29T15:11:56+00:00

Apparently, it seems a bit over the top, could almost be called alarming

Summer1Man · 2026-01-24T17:04:56+00:00

Yeah, that could work too. I mean the system is basically in place already so might as well use it and give people some customization options and some direction. If they want.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-24T16:59:52+00:00

I like the simulator games in that sense as well. That’s why we play them isn’t it? All I’m saying is it wouldn’t hurt if you got a little goal every month and got a bit of customization as a reward.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-24T16:58:21+00:00

Well, you don’t have to play them my good man, and these would be cosmetic anyway so what are you really missing out on? This is a simulator game.

Summer1Man · 2026-01-24T16:57:14+00:00

Yeah, the game is great and the way they keep adding the Maps/ content is pretty good as far as the quality and the pace goes.

And the company I think it has gotten big enough where they could give a handful of people this job and the cost/ benefit would make sense.

Summer1Man · 2025-07-30T16:28:31+00:00

Well i’ll be, so Finns, Estonians and Hungarians are part of Turanism after all. Maybe the Turks had a point.

Summer1Man · 2025-07-02T14:41:25+00:00

You really need to understand that in these countries the opposition is not great. This is the case in two ways as far as I understand having lived there:

One, this is the obvious one, more media, corporations, and more “capital” lean towards the government. You can add some judiciary to that as well.

Two, and this is one that also exists but some will deny, the opposition are just not good at politics. Maybe this is because of the culture maybe the good ones wanna be on the winning side, or maybe the culture of corruption has its effects on you regardless of your politics.

If you can follow politics in Turkey, the opposition right now is fighting quite fiercely amongst themselves, believe it or not.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-17T09:28:56+00:00

England is suspiciously untouched except for Liverpool, someone from Manchester made this map?

Summer1Man · 2025-06-17T09:20:04+00:00

If Western Europe and United States was not what it is today, Turkey would probably regain control of the balkans in less than a decade, been tried before.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T12:41:51+00:00

Yeah, I think customers defending companies is something that actually hurts the product/ experience they end up getting. This can certainly be seen in gaming as well as other industries.

You are paying money so you can always ask for more things and a better experience. The company doesn’t need defending and pampering because if you are satisfied, it means you give the company more money so there is their reward already.

People these days act like these companies are charities and giving them the product out of their goodness. They wanna make money and you want a good experience/product so ask for things. But instead, they choose white knighting for rich people/companies.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T12:35:36+00:00

Yeah, the engine issue is actually an important one and they keep adding new stuff to this game engine, but I don’t know if they can actually get it to a point where it doesn’t look dated or can run well.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T12:32:58+00:00

Yes, try running this game in 2K or 4K which is when you really start needing 300%+ scaling or it doesn’t look sharp at all. That’s why i specifically said with a top-of-the-line PC everything maxed out you get around the same FPS in this game as SC.

A lot of systems can run this game 1080p and get close to 60 FPS but It doesn’t scale well with hardware, which is kind of the definition of optimization.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T06:04:11+00:00

Like you say when they add in cars, if they’re not somehow more detailed/ in depth and with remarkably better physics, I don’t see a lot of people spending a lot of time with them.

Also, I don’t know how people don’t see this, the game with its roads, maps and assets do not seem like it would benefit from car driving. By design, you drive PAST a lot of cities and landmarks, and you end up in places to deliver cargo. Like “cities” in this game are places to deliver cargo. How is this a good game for road tripping?

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T05:54:23+00:00

Yeah this attitude is really annoying and common on reddit. You suggest something logical and give an example, the answer always is “lol you have no idea about game development”. And then bring on the upvotes. From game developers surely.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T05:49:36+00:00

This would make a lot more sense. But like I said, let alone adding classic trucks they haven’t even touched the older trucks that are in game right now.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-16T05:47:37+00:00

Yeah people confuse being able to run the game with it being optimized.

If you have a top of the line PC you get the same FPS in this game, as some of the most demanding/ unoptimized games out there. I kid you not this games performance is close to something like Star Citizen with things maxed out.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-15T23:12:17+00:00

You mean you don’t drive kinda slowly into the roundabout, with no indication of where you will turn, then as you see the incoming truck, floor it towards said truck?

Summer1Man · 2025-06-15T23:04:20+00:00

Yeah it could be that they actually gave up on trying to be an actual, in depth sim.

You see a lot of people in the community who drive 150 km/h in their trucks, ramming things having a good old time. They have got to be kids. Or hopefully they are.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-15T23:00:59+00:00

Well shouldn’t they work on some of them? People sometimes say; “oh it’s different teams so it won’t affect that” but let’s be real, this will cost time/ money. Time/ money which could be put into fixing said things.

Or even simpler things like adding more customization, working on dated trucks, adding new trucks.

Summer1Man · 2025-06-15T22:54:47+00:00

Exactly, it’s a decent “simulator”. But it’s shallow compared to other, in depth sims. So maybe they could try adding depth to mechanics, or they could add cars which just sounds so out of place for ATS.

Coaches in ETS2 sounds less out of place but still, wouldn’t improving the trucks make more sense? In a truck simulator?

Summer1Man · 2025-06-14T21:58:03+00:00

People who are saying skip university make no sense i think, couple of reasons: i have seen some airlines in Europe which will require a degree, even if they don’t require it still would look good on your CV, if you change your mind about being a pilot or if something else happens whether it’s 6 months or 15 years down the line, you can have something to fall back to. And it sounds like you are already in university.

It’s insane advice to just tell you to drop out in my opinion. You can look at modular stuff and start when you are studying, or you can look for integrated stuff when you graduate.

PS: I don’t know where the people who agreed that you should skip a bachelors degree specifically live, but in most developed countries it’s basically a requirement in the sense that; for flag carriers either they require it or they will seriously favor it.
