ATS | v1.51 - Heading for Arkansas | American Truck Simulator | Episode 105

[@craigmorson]

Hi zilla thank you for another awesome episode as always keep them up 👍

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks very much!

[@craigmorson]

Your very welcome

[@coyi51]

Nice journry even if the you did attract more than your fair share of red lights, nice parking given what was in the way. Channel updates are always informative and enjoyable, so sounds a good idea. Many thanks.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I think I'll make the channel update a regular thing, yes, thanks! And yeah, that was a lot of city traffic, but it kind of makes sense given that the scenic spots were right in the cities. It would have been a lot easier to pick them up while we were delivering something to them. :)

[@OLOGYNY]

Less than 4 days very excited! I’ll definitely buy it right away

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I'm excited too!

[@pterrok5495]

An Underflow is like a reverse scoop for aerodynamics under your trailer. Saves a lot of diesel. Wonder if you need to have a skill to install it? Go Sports! I thought maybe they didn't want to name it in case it ever changes? BUT, I mean, Tigers is not ever likely to change. ;-p

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, good to know on the Underflow, I wonder what trucks have it. Or yeah, maybe I'm underleveled. (Level 29 seems like it should be enough, though.) There must be some legal consideration about using the real team name. But "Go Sports!"? Really? :)

[@megatronacepticon]

Most lights are only 1 in 4 to be green since the left turn arrows are separate phases at most of them.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

That’s a good point, yes. Here left turn time is short thought, but your point still makes sense as to why it’s not 50-50

[@thecustardprophet8434]

If it's any consolation...you have less issues with crashes/police stops than me. By a little bit. One thing to mention about the update. In ETS2 there is a rework of 4 German cities. So, they are working hard across the two games.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, that's good to know about the German cities, great to see them filling out the older European content like that. Very nice, thanks for the heads up!

[@ParkeraNZ]

Lets go for getting ready for Arkansas! Nice job parking mate back into the groove.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Really excited about the new state, and thanks on the parking. Almost had it in one shot but just a fraction wide. :)

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

Yes from Arkansas, just northeast of downtown in Hot Springs (Highway 7 north). I can't wait to see how close I can get. Hoping things straighten out and stop freezing for me. Also seriously excited with FarmSim 25 (yes Nov 12) ... 7 new crops (rice, spinach, peas, and green beans in field, and mushrooms, chilis, and green onion in greenhouse), tornadoes, hail, water buffalo, asian map, vehicle reflections, fog, and GPS... so exciting. Also the American map in FS25 is based on Arkansas/Mississippi area wild coincidence...lol. The only thing that makes me nervous is I'm going to have to talk now with 25 coming out...😳 as people will want details and my hands don't work well enough to type all that out haha. After a month I'll post a vote as to whether I should keep talking ...ROFL. If you want tips on FS22 just hollar at me with what you'd like to do and I'm happy to help you with settings and mods, and of course in game. 1.51 came out on the 10th. With other KZbin drivers not taking into account those who cut that part you're kinda middle of the road, I've seen them not crash at all, and others seem to live for the crashes...lol. Good job on that parking, I know some might not think so but I was here when you were first starting to park them and trust me you have gotten considerably better. That wasn't bad at all, better than I could do by a bit.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

So much awesome things coming for you, that's great about both Arkansas and FS25. I'm oddly very excited about FS25. I got into FS22 late in the game so being in when it starts will be a lot of fun. I've added the link to your channel in the video description now, I totally forgot to do that when I published the video. Hearing you talk about things will be good! You got this!

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

@@ZillaBlitzPC The link wasn't necessary but appreciated. Blessings

[@RevanFan]

In a recent update, they added a few signs for highways in British Columbia to the game. Means they might be in the early stages of researching for Canadian expansions.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

That's an interesting observation, although part of me hopes they finish the US first. I could see them possibly wanting to do that, however, to develop more beautiful areas of North America like the Canadian Rockies, etc.

[@AdamRychtera-u2i]

14:11 you waited so long, it is almost like real life, yes, michael, i'd like monthly updates on the channel, anyway it's your choice, i know you've got a lot to do but i am wishing you many more subscribers and that talking time always has got such a cool atmosphere. Haha! I really enjoyed those scenic views exploring as you said there's barely anything worth noticing there :). Also, at 19:40 it looked like you teleported to Hawaii.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks for the good wishes, and for the encouragement on the monthly updates. I might start out with trying to do one every couple of months, see how that goes. But it's about time I started putting those in. And yeah, that stretch of water was surprising, didn't see that coming! :)

[@AdamRychtera-u2i]

@@ZillaBlitzPC i actually thought those were a vital part of the channel.

[@craigmorson]

Zilla there is a guy in the UK with his own KZbin channel called colonel failure and he has totaled his truck and not repaired it but he has sold his truck

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Haha! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@VJGamz]

One thing I absolutely HATE about ATS/ETS2 is that when the game updates, some of your mods get broken and it can be very hard to pinpoint what’s causing the game to crash. I wish SCS added an option like in BeamNG, where it will show what mods could be causing problems.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I know some of my mods get tagged with "out of date", but not all of them.

[@RevanFan]

Several mods have already updated for 1.51. If things go well you could be able to get right back to modded runs after doing Arkansas!

[@VJGamz]

Yeah, the Alaska NTTF and Reforma Mexico have already updated.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, that's good to hear. I was looking at Coast to Coast yesterday, which hadn't been updated, but I'll get downloading the others. :)

[@RevanFan]

Channel update videos every month or two sound like a good idea.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Yeah, I'm thinking one every two months might be nice, thanks. :)
