I’m running in VR and I think the graphics look best in vanilla since a few updates.

However, I would like to find a mod that makes the sky and clouds pop up more / be more pronounced.

Tried every graphic mod I could find and although the sky looks better in most, they mess up with lighting overall which looks worse than vanilla imo.

Anyone know a mod that only modifies the skybox / clouds and not mess up with all other graphics?

Hello first time posting here I really need help ats won’t launch I mean it doesn’t start it launches then it closes every time I uninstall install same thing!!! What the hell is going on it sucks! And i just paid 30 bucks for the DLC so I really now wanna play it I got northwest pack!

After 700hrs in ETS2 I tried ATS, and I enjoy it just as much. It’s given me a good chance to dial in my peripheral setup, and try out head tracking.

Now that the long touted German rework is nearly finished, I wonder which region will get a rework next. Most players assume the Benelux or UK will be the next area to get rebuilt, but I feel they aren't quite done with central Europe. Consider SCS is based in Prague, I must speculate that the Czech Republic will be the next country to be overhauled, possibly along with the western cities of Poland included in the base game. I say this because many important routes between Scandinavia and places in southern Europe get routed through the Czech Republic and with Germany being up to date and now it just makes sense to start on a nearby area. Also, the bulk of the reworked cities in 1.53 were part of the former East Germany with which the CR shared a border. Many "east" German assets could be used as the vegetation and landscapes between these countries are similar. Curious what everyone else's hopes/predictions are for where they go next.

Thanks for the suggestions I bought it, however mapping it has proven difficult. It suggests using ZF 16 Speed as the shifter layout, however I drive 12 speeds so this doesn’t work and still leaves 2/6 of the gears empty with nothing mapped to it.

SO currently I have it set to ‘Range Splitter’ which is what you see in the image above and it’s, somewhat the best so far with Reverse actually being the in the correct spot.. however there’s still 2/6 gears not being used, how can I change this?

As per the title, delivery number 13 to a depot on the outskirts of Kansas City, KS and finishing the Halloween 2024 event on Halloween.

Just spend around an hour trying to park this without any luck. Approaching this from blind side (which has more space) and using 3rd person view does not help much. Just switched from ATS and got some feeling of regular non-steerable trailers (especially after driving school), but this specific delivery is killing me (ended up giving up on that). Are there any theoretical tips on how to steer it into parking slot (comparing to regular trailer)?

P. S. And this is just 40 XP parking excercise!

Every time it rains, the wipers are never needed in full speed, because the rain is never that heavy. It really annoys me that we have something as useless as the second wiper speed

I see that you can't drive into San Diego whatsoever, you just see it in the distance. Can you drive into updated downtown San Francisco? Will 1.53 allow us to drive into San Diego and can you drive into downtown LA currently? I'm hoping that 1.53 is more of a thing where we're able to drive next to skyscrapers and not just see them glorified in the distance.

Is there a way to start a new save and keep the same controller configuration, the same settings?

It's quite hard for me. I believe i'm at around 6h now, really struggled on FInal Exam 1 (that last right-hand 90deg corner got me many, many times) - and now Final Exam 2 is sucking my blood with that last parking between the trucks, it's just too hard. I'm on this for at least 2h for now.A
How long did it take you?

Hey all recently i saw someone that recommended to get thr soundfix mod from the workshop, so I just downloaded it, but idk if its just me but i literally don't find any difference it's sound the same for me and i tweaked the sounds like they said in the picture. For example the truck still sounds pretty meh the ai sounds the same for me .. so idk how you guys change the truck/engine sounds? Only zeemods? (Paid ones?) Or there are also free mods that can change the sound of the trucks.. ? Thanks!

I've seen in some eastern countries in Europe, the overtaking is a bit questionable and slightly close and also a lot more frequent. I always wondered if there was a mod that could make cars every once in a while come down a normal road and you see it coming so you move over to the very edge to give way for the overtake. I know it's dangerous but I want to turn the driving experience into something even better.

It could have been nice if this showed trailer limitations too 😁

I wanted to get the 1:1 map of ets2 for a change but I think it said that it requires all dlc or most of them. I don't have any and I also don't get why it needs them if it is a standalone map. If what I've heard is wrong, please let me know and I will get the mod.
