added the link to the truck in the description.

[@The_D0ge]

can u give me a link for a mack anthem jeff

[@jfavignano]

It’s linked on my Anthem video

[@joshuahawkes7218]

cool, I saw this truck at the LNYDP parade today.

[@The_D0ge]

@@jfavignano thx Jeff happy new year also happy trucking :)

[@nicktheshotgunm]

hey jeff what do you use for holding your wheel and shifter? wheel stand pro?

[@mattr4650]

I have to say, I’m a fuel tanker driver and this simulator looks so realistic! I want to play it and I do this for a living 😂

[@jrmpup]

Who do you drag fuel for?

[@WeazelNewsUSA]

Thank you for your truck service!

[@bobbybushwhacker]

Hahaha we get off work from trucking all day and then hop on and simulate trucking 🤣 this is the life lol

[@brianjones6893]

I pull doubles at night, and I love playing this game when I have time.

[@jschackmann2]

Jeff You know that theres two key Postions, ACC-Engine start. In gameplay options, Unclick Automatic electricity and engine start . Boom you have ACC and start just have the( In key and buttons ) Primary button has first click/ACC and Secondary has Engine start

[@williamlivingston5314]

I been riding with you brother and I think it is really cool.I drove a truck for 25 years.cant anymore.lost my eye sight.only one eye now not good.but could do that simulater and not kill anyone.wish I had one it's really cool.keep doing what you do.keep on trucking.

[@anonymousperson1726]

10:20 That is the longest turning lane I've ever seen and it goes to Walmart!

[@Steeringwheelholder]

I drive an actual mack pinnacle for work and gotta say they did a pretty damn good job as far as accuracy on the interior, mine is also a 12 speed automatic, but engine brake on it is so weak because its electric and not exhaust type

[@phychotic_turtle7987]

Love the wheel view as a truck driver myself it makes it more realistic when I can see you actually shifting gears and hitting switches very nice touch to your video

[@ceilingfan8523]

Jeff, I personally really enjoy the wheelcam, without it the videos are still really great, but the wheelcam just makes them that much better!

[@gtasandman]

Put some fishing weights in it, or flat metal stock from the hardware store and use 3M tape to mount it that way its a bit more planted but you dont have to drill holes.

[@Lee_JongHan_David]

Oh man the wheel cam as well as the ASP controller just increased the amount of epicness on American Truck Sim episodes! Love to watch your Am Truck Sim videos like this Jeff. Happy New Year!

[@naterank6854]

I think you should keep the wheel cam. It’s cool to see the setup.

[@buddy_vv6025]

Yes love that wheel cam

[@seductivequickie3955]

As a trucker I am so freaking amazed and your shifting ahhhhh really nice (I'm all gitty) 🖤🖤🖤

[@dustinw1750]

As a truck driver that lives where the shipper is located, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I appreciate the amount of effort you go through to put yourself in the seat, so to speak. Keep up the good work! Subscribed.

[@johnmason7663]

I drive a 2011 Mack pinnacle and the back light where the switches are, they are actually blue. I don’t know if every Mack truck is like that but it’s different and I like it!!

[@rick7884]

Wow Jeff that button box is pretty close to the real thing. You really could not get any closer without having the entire dash board of a truck. So that's pretty awesome.

[@fungamer2817]

Rick there’s another version that comes with even more buttons and switches

[@xulphr]

I’m up to here. Top 1,000. Love the vids. And great setup.

[@PlayingwithPawz]

Get some buttons and a box and you can make your own for half that price as long as you are fairly tec savey

[@funnyyylock]

SPPD Unit A475 definitely

[@anthonywitkowski1782]

Are you using a head tracker? Or can We actually avoid adding another button to the gamer box?

[@hd42gaming54]

Just bought three boxes the heavy haul, the boss and the volacity! So happy for them to come in!

[@chazefez9625]

HD42 Gaming thats a lot of buttons youll never use.

[@hd42gaming54]

Chazefez na man i bought them for a reason. 1 for heavy haul. 1 for fleet driving and then i for iracing, assetto corsa and dirt rally!

[@viperx5live342]

can u do more ATS with the wheel cam and the button box cam

[@bosborne220]

I really liked the wheel cam. It actually helps people learn the controls a bit easier. Well done.

[@bsm1th99]

If i owned this game and set up like what Jeff has, I would NEVER leave my house lol

[@WadeFletcherGAMING]

Brian Smith same

[@CLMedia28]

I have the game and a steering wheel+peddles but not the button box.....you should come over and play.

[@grahamchannel8466]

Every time I watch one of these videos I say to myself, “man I wish I could play this” but all I have right now is a PC and not a lot of money. Thank you for putting these videos out there for people like me that enjoy games like this but don’t have enough money to play them, keep up the good work Jeff, enjoy your button box!

[@gibbah7205]

I’m using a farm simulator button box i got a while back, it works great!

[@voldo18]

That A.S.P is so goddamn beautiful. I really want one for when I get back into ATS. I miss my Freightliner XL Classic mod, such a great game/truck

[@Toutvids]

I wanted one until I saw the price. It is worth maybe half that... $125 tops, with free shipping. You could build your own for maybe $60. I built a 10 button, button box by myself (videos on youtube how to do it) for about $20. I want to make another with a key and the two air buttons at some point.

[@neonhomer]

I was one of the prime supporters of the CSIO shifter. I received mine, but recently it has been having issues. The controller IC (a Teensy-LC) was held to the body with rubber bands! I'm on the search for the original sketch to reprogram one. Also, I'm looking to make my own switch box, but using authentic switches from a Freightliner Century Class dash.

[@jvon17]

Yes keep the wheelcam

[@TylerMitchellOfficial]

I was Hesitating before buying one. Because I saw this was also on CSIO website. And the whole deal with CSIO made me not purchased one. But I hope this is a reliable company and standby with there customers. I will be giving them my business. And be purchasing one for my very own.

[@htigerboy82]

You can leave the jake brake on instead of switching on and off

[@nikitavolochenko2169]

2 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING. I actually got myself one of these and the only two complaints are is that it’s really small. Like I’d say the video doesn’t do it justice, I thought it’d be bigger. 2: it’s relatively light. Unless you rest it against a wall or something, if you push a button or flick a switch it will push it around. Otherwise it’s a great buy

[@orangecitrus_6705]

Jeff, I saw a first responder version on their website, and was wondering if you picked up one for LSPDFR?.

[@etiennedau]

I actually drive a 2015 mack rawhide with the red lether interior...i love that truck!!

[@haydenlundy5666]

Omg 😮 the graphics are amazing

[@2xblorgi630]

Yeah, keep the wheel cam. It's really nice to be able to see your inputs!

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Happy New Year 🥂🍺

[@christhiangutierrez3898]

Almost there Jeff , almost 1 million subs . I have been a sub since you started lcpdfr

[@Rj-gh2qf]

What is your complete set up wit the wheel and shifters etc

[@mattc6073]

Great video as always, love the wheel cam as well, fun to watch you drive and the button box makes it twice as great. Great work

[@aaronroshandevereuxjohnson2538]

I used to play ATS every day then one day I decided to drive real trucks... It's just as fun as ATS only better! You get paid to do it lol

[@fatboyssuperfasttimesatred8191]

Needs a headache rack when hauling steel or for that matter anything on a flat bed without a head board or one hard stop and it would be through the cab and hopefully not you.

[@justinlavarnway4455]

Eh yo, can you drop the list of mods you using? Thanks mate

[@Nebs1]

Love it. I’d like you to leave the wheel cam up. Would like to see some of the other button in use like cruise control. Good video mate

[@Craaig]

What's this steering wheel you're using?

[@jon250sx]

In my opinion the camera would work better on your right side and you could get everything in one shot. And I'm wondering if you could move the box closer to you eventually to avoid body movement and interfering with paying attention to the road. Great video and I'm loving the new box.

[@theextremeofflight]

I like the wheel cam, gives the video a more personal touch

[@damiangambell9583]

14:51.. In real life dont use your jakes when its slick out

[@L3ATHALBEAST69]

Hey Jeff, don't know if you'll see this, but I've been watching all your truck sim vids when I get a chance after my 2nd shift job @ Mack Trucks. This one is special to me, because I actually help assemble and work on the American Icon Mack in Macungie, PA. I take pride in what I do. Love seeing these trucks drive off the line, and then piggybacked to the dealer/customer.That pinnacle is the old model. The newer model pinnacle has the upgraded interior to match the new Mack Anthem. Hopefully someone adds the Anthem in the game @ some point. Anything you'd like to know or see I'll gladly help out.

[@ISniffRats]

L3ATHALBEAST69 I don’t drive a Mack unfortunately (2019 Kenworth T680) but man do I love seeing the new and old Mack’s. By far one of my favorite trucks on the road today. I appreciate what you do man!

[@L3ATHALBEAST69]

@@ISniffRats thanks man! It's amazing to watch a blank frame make it's way down the line to become a complete truck. Where I'm @ on the line, I sometimes cover the job to drive the trucks off the line to pre Dyno. Great feeling.

[@ISniffRats]

L3ATHALBEAST69 oh yeah I believe it! If it weren’t for you guys we wouldn’t have the beautiful beasts we drive today, have a good new year my man!

[@lanemcclurg4294]

Where did you get your steering wheel and shifter and all that from

[@charliewilcher4916]

I grew up around trucking and have a buddy that drives a kw i run with him at times and help him with his drops i can do everything to drop a trailer

[@hypercat2266]

Keep the wheel cam please

[@Ls3Mike]

Wheel cam with button box should definitely be incorporated in vids

[@OGVSOGLUCKY]

I like this Mack remember me the 90s Mack truck on in Australia

[@ROT4RYfc3s]

Not sure if I can, but MAYBE I can send you a badass, beautiful CB microphone

[@samuelwebb2033]

winter driving snow and black ice are real and I would like to see you chain up and drive over a pass or on the interstate highway!!!

[@2005llyduramax]

Where can I get a shifter like that?

[@masoncw1298]

I love seeing the wheel cam. I think you should keep it.

[@anthonywitkowski1782]

Are you still offering the aAS.P. Coupons for purchasing the Heavy hauler button box?

[@im_trash_4208]

Yes please keep the wheel cam

[@crackencubes291]

I would do anything to have that setup

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

I continue to enjoy using mine in ATS and ETS2

[@BuckeyeBob602]

I just stumbled on your video, I am a truck driver by profession and I want to get your setup where can I buy the equipment for this game thanks

[@br1ht3st]

Awesome video. I recently ordered an ASP Heavy Hauler (before you posted this video) so it's great to see another review of it. I also went with the 90 degree brackets but might opt for the vesa mount after watching. Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to getting mine!

[@anthonywitkowski1782]

I just bought the American Sim. And got myself a Thrustmaster pro wheel with the three pedals package. plus the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter. And for sure I picked up the SparkFunPro Micro gear shift knob to hang with the truckers in this game. Which would the most go-to buttons on the wheel verses the keyboard? do I also have to turn off the trailer brakes also before I can start rolling? I have a empty truck and starting in first gear in low. I slowly push the gas down and the wheels will not roll and the engine is running. is there a downloadable set up I can download? and then tweek it after I get it installed? Sorry about this big message. i just thought i could get in my truck and drive out of the box!

[@Monte-lj4sq]

where did you get your equipment from? Everywhere I have looked is sold out of product.

[@Monte-lj4sq]

@csx what do you mean?

[@FullTwistYT]

I custom made my own box for games... mine can have up to 54 buttons/switches and 16 axis on top of that. made from a reprogrammed Arduino and 3D printed parts. My truck shift knob for my g27 was 3D primted and is tied into the box as well. switches in correct place for range and splitter. everything all in one unit. A HELL of alot cheaper than 250 dollars plus whatever you paid for the skrs shifter..

[@voldo18]

If you have the skills then yes, building your own saves money. But for the price your paying (I used to run a set up similar to Jeff's a couple years back) just I didn't have the button box. The SKRS shifter is great for this game imo..js ain't tryna start shit or nothing like the such

[@_t_k_t_1981]

Have the wheel cam

[@jordonhaines2224]

I can say I drive truck for living and you can also driving automatic like a standard. It’s like a slap shifter . And Jeff nice setup. I used one in my trucking school to got my class ones . Thanks for the video.

[@cwg2432]

how do you turn the in game camera to see the mirrors, both of your hands are occupied

[@jfavignano]

Track IR

[@cwg2432]

Jeff Favignano thanks !!!

[@dylanrider2891]

I love the wheel cam but since it takes longer to produce don’t stress yourself out over it. It you have time and feel like doing a wheel cam then I would say do it but if you don’t have the time then don’t worry about it. Hope you have a great New Year! Awesome vid as always

[@logankeppo]

Hey Jeff, what do you use for looking around in game?

[@tonyradle8747]

Track IR. You can look it up on Google

[@jarrenhowg1176]

Hey Jeff me personally I love the wheel cam I understand it takes long to edit but for me I find it awesome hope to see a live stream soon on twitch of ats with the heavy haul button box : ) happy new year buddy

Am I the only one questioning why he is manually shifting an automatic truck?

[@dtn8_.]

Why tf is it snowing in Salem 🤔

[@HunlockDodge18621]

Happy New Year! The APS Heavy Hauler Box is very cool, I will definitely look into getting one. I love the fact that you give such honest opinions, not to many out there give the honesty that you give. The wheel cam and the box cam does give a very nice touch to the ATS video's!

[@itzniqz9489]

What’s cute is I do this for a living

[@necondaa]

Happy New years Jeff!

[@BigDeez45]

is everything premapped to ATS when you get the button box or do you have to map your buttons and switches once you get it?

[@RyderSchäfer2002]

you have to do it yourself, it comes with labels so it’s easier to map

[@ItzDrPlow]

Have you done a video of the whole setup? I drive trucks for a living and your videos makes me want this in my house.

[@Timmyttsd1]

What do you use for your look directional controls

[@lmCIoudz]

He uses trackir

[@zoe..d]

Press F4 - go through each of the menus until you reach cabin adjustments (F4 3 times) and can lower the seat / lower the camera viewpoint within the cabin for the Mack. Save you having to move your head to see the traffic lights :)

[@standard_amer1can760]

And how are moving the camera when playing the game

[@JonWylan]

Wow that is a decent quality Pinnacle mod, I'll have to check it out! Nice vid!

[@crystalgimpel]

did you do this in vr

[@mazitro4568]

[@ZacharyHankins]

Hi, I'm new to the channel. Does he have a mod list posted anywhere?

[@jfavignano]

No because people blame me for the viruses they get on their computer when they have no idea how to use a download website. It’s at their own risk but I haven’t gotten a virus yet because I know they won’t be exe files

[@scotty2vlogs634]

where would i get the shifter

[@KevinDDD]

The shifter itself is a Thrustmaster TH8A. The knob for 18 speed trans is bought from CSIO, back when they did legit business. Do NOT buy from them, you WON'T get your product, there are several other options to go with.

[@scotty2vlogs634]

@@KevinDDD where else could i get the H shifter then

[@KevinDDD]

Tech Affliction has them also

[@doorcharge0]

I just recently got a pc, but because my WiFi is so bad, Arma 3 is still *TRYING* to download. I so wish I could play games like these without having to wait for 24 hour downloads to finish. Right now I'm doing trucking stuff on farm sim 19. As always, great vid jeff Edit: Happy New Year's from Ireland

[@hyperocket9536]

How much did your box and steering wheel

[@derekm6006]

Josiah Johnson around 600$

[@watchingponies]

It's a neat way to add a little more immersion. I'm still driving with my controller lol Did over 1 million miles on ETS/ATS combined with it. I just don't have the space to set up a wheel and other stuff. A bit of a bummer lol

[@watchingponies]

Happy New Year, Jeff ! Just keep being one of my fav KZbinrs out here. I'm wishing you even more success and happiness.

[@blake1995]

I started with keyboard, went to controller, and now I want same set up as Jeff

[@watchingponies]

@@blake1995 I've seen some awesome set ups through the years, making me a jealous :)) My gaming PC is right next to my work PC, on the same desk. Attaching/detaching the wheel and stuff, over and over again really sounds like a pain in the butt. I could use an extra room for an extra desk. Jeff's set up looks very doable for sure. Not crazy expensive, and adds a lot of immersion. If you got the space, go get it.

[@blake1995]

watchingponies I need a bigger computer and bigger desk but I’m not a huge gamer so I just can’t get myself to spend a bunch of money on that. I just use my laptop that is surprisingly powerful enough to handle these games. I’ve used some that can’t even play this game smoothly haha. Recently I’ve gotten into trucking and got this game and now I want to get a wheel and shifter with that box, that would be so fun since I have no chance of every driving a semi unless I go get a cdl license

[@watchingponies]

18:58 your rear tires are on the yellow line? not a red light issue though, perhaps you approached the intersection too fast and scared the computer. (slow down it's slippery) You did land on the yellow line, the UPS driver was telling you something.

[@TheDahminator]

is he using a VR headset

[@mattyyiann]

TheDahminator that’s what I’m wondering

[@jimmygill5927]

No he has a sensor that he put on a hat and that's what moves with his head

[@skincookiez7576]

He uses IR Track. It consists of a camera that sits on top of the monitor and an IR device that attaches to a head set. Costs around $150 but there are cheaper options. I use TackHat which is like half the price.

[@jimmygill5927]

Oh I thought that's what he used the hat one I coulda swore if did a video on his equipment setup and I saw a hat with a sensor on it. Must have been someone else thanks for the update
