Speaking to a realism of ATS, I am a retired truck driver. 10 years, 1 mil miles. I am really impressed with with the detail and the sound. Hearing those jakes rattle is like the sound of music to me. All you need is a candle that smells like diesel exhaust lol.

[@skylerramos2550]

I’m from Texas so this is awesome to see and how accurate everything is I live in Amarillo Texas the accuracy is amazing to me!!

[@itzglitchhh]

The details for Galveston are spot on, especially the causeway.

[@granderondeproductions3286]

It'd be cool if they had the Bolivar ferry as another way to get to Port Arthur

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

The Texas map is massive and very impressive, I’ve loved it so far, the backroads are my favorite routes to take as many of them are gorgeous

[@noahater5785]

I have only seen a few parts of Texas, but I’m liking it so far, SCS definitely put a lot of love and care into it!

[@noahater5785]

Definitely a lot more fleshed out than Coast to Coast, I've been told Coast to Coast is apparently absolute garbage.

[@Belchmaster41]

I agree, the game itself doesn't work with just a mouse & keyboard. Especially with driving and backing your truck in when you're unloading your cargo

[@jalenr.6542]

@@noahater5785 It's purely a copy and paste map with only the southeast detailed

[@JAc08-games]

My dad has almost 40 years truck driving and he said that the game is kind of accurate but he doesn’t like it because the scale is so small. Your vids are so cool Jeff.

[@SilentRoadStudio]

I'm happy to see ATS return to the channel ❤️ I've been enjoying Texas and I love the new prefabs with tighter parking. I can't wait to see you explore Austin, San Antonio and the coastal parts down south, you'll be blown away.

[@bambina320]

Ats is one of those relaxing games where you can zone out and listen to your fave tunes...which is why I enjoy playing when ever I can. Hope everyone has a wonderful new years eve and may the new year bring everyone good health, peace and happiness and many more blessings!👍✌️🙏

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

Great video Jeff! Glad to see you back in ATS, the rig is finished, and most importantly you feel better. I will try to pop into the stream if I can. Enjoy the New Year everybody!

[@Jared_Wignall]

Cool to see more ATS from you Jeff. Hope this year has been great for you and I hope you’ll have a great new year. Take care!

[@Noledad77]

The northern part of Texas is highly underrated. Once Oklahoma is done, you'll have to map out the portion of I-40 that is the old Route 66 and drive that across NM, TX and OK. At one point in Oklahoma, there are wind turbines as far as you can see and it's a really cool sight.

[@olidacarrot]

Since Texas is my favorite state in the U.S. I think SCS has done a fantastic job with it! Hope to see more content from you driving around the different cities in Texas!

[@kristoffermangila]

You'd better thank Russia for that, because if it weren't for the Russo-Ukrainian War, the resources SCS allocated for ETS2's Heart of Russia DLC was instead diverted to Texas DLC and the other upcoming DLCs for ATS!

[@VanillaWahlberg]

I think one of my favorite mods lately has to be pedestrian traffic sounds. You can hear other diesels shifting and it just adds a whole new dimension of realism.

[@maelmoor]

Awesome to see you back in ATS, no one does it as well as you do! Looking forward to your content in 2023! Texas is fantastic, lot of varied roads and sights and it's really well-made, to normal high SCS quality, you will enjoy it greatly! ...and it's huuuge! Happy New Year!

[@mikewilliams4308]

I grew up in Wichita Falls, watching you drive through it, it’s a fairly close representation of the town. Landmarks, roads, and the like. Good on ya devs!

[@YellowYT]

A very happy new year to you Jeff! Was watching some of this at 2am this morning on my home from the Sydney Fireworks, completely toasted 🤣. All the best wishes for 2023 and what it will bring.

[@b9bot148]

ATS announced a lot of new trucks coming down the line. Including the Volvo VNL, Peterbilt 389X, Kenworth T680 Next Generation and the Western Star 57X I believe.

[@boomtastic1]

Are they in the game yet?

[@cameronclemente7773]

And the are adding the Peterbilt HQ

[@raymondjakeman5920]

Jeff a big respect to you and your family keep up the good work brother thank you

[@jinxyblue6873]

There's something about cruising in ATS and Jeff giving an update on things! It's so good to have it back on the channel. Happy New Year to you Jeff, Nicole and the family. Here's to 2023, and what's to come. I wanted to say a huge thank you Jeff for being you and the streams and uploads

[@richrevs]

That is crazy. I’m a Texas native and I live in the Fort Worth Dallas Metroplex and it was like I was driving on my own throughout the highways from Wichita Falls through Fort Worth and Dallas and it is so realistic, even down to the stupid crazy drivers!

[@RealtorThomaspreciado]

Congratulations Jeff, I am so happy you are now able to have your gaming setups.

[@tylerfalls872]

Hey man I'm glad to see you back on ATS I love the grind

[@satisfactoryaddict6566]

Aw man I am so happy to see ATS return to the channel. I hope you all have a good 2023

[@scotttruehart8024]

I was so excited when Montana came out because I could finally drive on I-90, which we took from Minnesota to Montana where we had a week long family vacation out there in 2020. Super cool to see Montana and when driving through Bozeman I actually found the Firehouse Subs we ate at while we were there. SUPER COOL. I can't wait for the Midwest to start rolling out!

[@thomasmatejka7367]

Jeff drove right through my town and didn’t even know it. I live near Wichita Falls on 287 lol

[@6z0]

Its funny how I just checked your channel literally last night to see if you had any recent ATS uploads, and was sad that you didn’t. Now I got this notification haha

[@JosephRisenhoover]

I want to say thank you for the closed captions in your videos. Most dont bother. I am here because of that. I can see/hear your videos which means A LOT to me and those of us with hearing issues. Great videos and great thoughtfulness

[@thetexanhusky]

20:30 - We might be getting Texarkana in a later update. I know that SCS has discussed finishing up northeastern Texas (and by northeastern, I'm not talking about the panhandle. That'll be northwestern Texas), so you may be able to go to Texarkana in ATS in the near future.

[@boganfett]

My only wish is they go back and redo the Panhandle. I can't remember but I don't think they put in Palo Duro Canyon which is the 2nd largest canyon in the US. Pretty sad to have missed that.

[@JTube571]

@@boganfett Just looked it up and that is correct. Which is interesting, I thought that designation would have went to Canyonlands in Utah.

[@justinkurttoboso2957]

Dallas-Forthworth

[@boganfett]

@@JTube571 yeah its very pretty. I live just outside of Palo Duro and we go there constantly. Not as "deep" as the grand canyon but it goes on seemingly for hours. It's so beautiful. Sad that it's not in this game.

[@BenMorelliRG]

Welp, you were right. And we'll get the Arkansas half next year as well.

[@joshuaschaefer7304]

The Houston and Galveston areas are pretty spot on.

[@mnmfreak502]

I wish they'd add 3 states at a time. Oklahoma has already been announced. Texas is huge! They should start adding multiple states. I live near Cincinnati Ohio so it's going to be a while until I see my town. I'm familiar with a lot of Indiana too & live right off route 50 so the town I live in should be in the game.

[@TheDavidN]

Pretty dang spot on! Gave me flashbacks of family roadtrips.

[@HAWKTUAHH]

I found out about ATS 6 months ago from stumbling on one of your vids. Absolutely love the game! Cant wait for more content from you Jeff!

[@CamKiva]

I moved to Missouri from Texas….. and mannnnn do I miss Texas. Missouri is beautiful as well. You can take the boy outta Texas but you can’t take the Texas out the boy

[@wyldcardsam]

It's cool af that watching this I'm recognizing real stuff and areas

[@jamesnelson5741]

Having that kind of a setup must be an absolute blast to use.

[@XNick291X]

I'm looking forward to when Iowa comes out, more because of the Iowa 80 Truck Stop

[@fieryphoenix586]

I remember first going to Texas in ATS. It's so huge, it's like its own country.

[@lSqxRl]

Anything is better than little ceasers, Happy new year Jeff. Glad to see ATS back

[@bradwagler648]

I've been waiting for SO long for some Jeff trucking again. Jeff is the only virtual trucker I enjoy watching. He plays it as if its real life. Watching him makes me want to drive for a living. Plus my father is a trucker, so I guess it's in me blood

[@westcustomsvr]

Hey Jeff love seeing ATS back on the channel!

[@YACOBO_OFFICIAL]

Loved the video Jeff I love watching your videos and can’t wait to see what you do next

[@bluegrassboy2448]

Yee haw, partner. Checking in from Galveston here! Hope you have a great 2023 Jeff.

Welcome back Jeff we are very happy that you are okay

[@watserye2777]

[@RedestBeard]

Man, I’ve been daydreaming about a nice ATS setup for the last few days. Glad to see you got your rig set back up.

[@trevonthompson7116]

Never thought I'd be so excited about a truck sim video in my life!! LETS GOOOOO!

[@kingscorpion7346]

yay! wondering when you were going to do this one. I got Texas as soon as it was released and went exploring. I live in Houston (in the I-45 / FM1960 area, which is on the map to get to the airport: IAH, which you passed after your game crashed and had to start over, LOL), and I know they can't have EVERYTHING for Houston (the 4th largest city in the US), but I saw enough... I decided to make my base in San Antonio instead 😁. yes, the highway interchanges in Houston in the game are PAINFULLY accurate...

[@DeputyChiefEMS57]

I will say its an accurate representation. I spent a lot of 2021 escorting windmill blade Oversize loads in that area of Texas, Galveston Witchita Falls, Amarillo also spent time escorting body component making machines to the Tesla plant in Austin

[@benjamincastleman8580]

Texas! My Home Sweet Home! 💯

[@kevinschweiger883]

Thank you for introducing me to this game over a year ago now! Its the game I have played the most since I got my PC last year! Love seeing you back playing ATS!

[@yungkidnf]

I just like the fact that your in game steering wheel matches your IRL one

[@mrpeterk699]

Hey Jeff! Glad to see you back in ATS!! :) Have a great day man!!

[@Pendragon1989]

That's crazy seeing Ft Worth, I35, Waco, Galveston. These are all places I go frequently, living in central Texas. :)

[@jeffd.1485]

glad you're back on ATS, jeff. i got into this game from watching and being inspired by your vids, so I'm happy you have a dedicated set-up now to make more content. happy new year!

[@aavvv_]

Happy New Year, Jeff. Great to see you back in ATS and looking forward to everything you do in 2023.

[@Code_5150_Racing]

Having lived on both sides of Texas since 1987 until 2005-6ish this looks so accurate, and all the signs I saw for speed limits were correct to me. Great content Jeff, keep it up.

[@tylerhalter8709]

Owl city v2. Go glad I got to witness it 🤣❤️

[@MJ_Trucking]

Im running JBX graphics in the game also. It really looks great. And Jon Ruda’s XL is my favorite tractor.

[@LoganStoltzfus-hl1db]

I am loving Texas for myself. All of it is great!! Great video by the way…keep it up!

[@ryanwalters2371]

VERY EXCITED TO ATS BACK!!!!

[@jbtread7869]

Firstly, glad to see you back and illness free man! Secondly, I have played the Texas map since it was released and it is pretty accurate. I have family in Dallas and Houston and I live and work about 45 minutes north of Austin. It all is pretty accurate to IRL. Obviously like you stated, it isn’t identical or super in depth as it would be just too much time and detail on one state. But there are some significant landmarks they put in that as a Texas native, I can tell where I’m at roughly. I am kind of bummed that the cowboys stadium and the rangers ballpark both in Arlington are not shown. But, six flags is there so there’s that. Overall, I can speak from experience, it is pretty well done and they did a pretty good job capturing Texas. Love the vids, can’t wait to apply for OCRP and you have a good new years brotha! Cheers from Texas🍻🍻

[@keithbennett5519]

Amazing video, and nice to see the amazing American truck simulator back on here

Glad you got your dream setups! Looking forward to seeing all the great content

[@TxNative84]

That's really accurate to how Houston looks. They did a great job on that. Looks just like I-45

[@Gavfinder16]

Yay Jeff, I'm so glad and excited to get back American trucking😃👋🎉

[@tirade30]

Texas is absolutely amazing I am loving every bit of it I am currently driving my W900 Highway Killer from Ruda with a custom Great Dane Reefer from B4rt one of the best trailers next to his newly redone cattlepot loved the vid Jeff hope you and your wife have a great and safe New Year's glad to see you back

[@legendxcarisso]

The attention to detail... yeah. THAT, is without a doubt; Texas. Every freaking mile.

[@16valveBravoSpoonz]

Jeff, it maybe worth checking out PNG(project next gen) for next time, its honestly one of the best graphics mods out there, has new building textures, PBR roads(makes roads higher quality and more authentic) and of course some nice Skyboxes. Just a suggestion for you.

[@kartracer241]

The skyline and 45 around Downtown Houston is spot on. SPH Parkway is NASA parkway. And yes the interchange right before downtown Houston is a pain in real life.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

I'm so glad ats is back. I got ats for Christmas and now I get to actually try the mods you use. Dlc's are coming next.

[@Redridge07]

jeff, you sound like a cool and chilled guy, enjoyed your video

[@christianrosa5867]

Ats is back yes!!! Glad u brought back cam setup back !!

[@matttiddle]

I laughed at how fast you went from Wichita Falls to Fort Worth. I have driven that in real life and its a couple hour drive. In real life that trip whole trip would have taken you 10+ hours. Love the videos.

[@matttiddle]

The traffic is also fairly realistic 75mph is a pretty standard speed limit and every one goes that fast

[@FlawedCoil82]

I can’t even fathom what it would cost to get setups like this (including the sim itself or computer to run it). It just looks like so much fun though. Whenever I used to play games like “Crazy Taxi” or “Grand Theft Auto” I had no interest in doing anything except driving around and obeying traffic laws/signs. I always wondered why nothing like that existed where you could simply drive around like the real world, and then I found these ATS videos and have been completely blown away. I know I could never afford to get the required equipment surviving on disability, but at very least I can experience it vicariously through those who can.

[@tonyorwick492]

Thank You for getting your set up back up and going I missed your ATS video's now we need Big Mama JuJu back 😂

[@stroidgraphics2831]

Yesss, glad to see more ATS!

[@KTHR56]

Great video, Jeff! Glad to hear you are finally feeling better - being sick is no fun especially the double whammy. ATS has been immensely fun to play with in Texas. I haven’t been able to explore as much as I’ve wanted to due to graduation and Christmas, but really looking forward to getting back into it myself. The parts of Texas that I know are east Texas, and I think SCS did a good job. Especially around Galveston. Take care of yourself, my friend, and happy new year to you and the family. 🙂

[@MMcGrew]

Great vid Jeff been loving driving Texas put up a couple vids of it but still trying to explore it all there is a huge rail yard somewhere there in the Texas mod you could easy get lost in it it is that big anyway so glad you got ATS back love that content

Glad to see you back in ats Texas is great except for the lag spikes I think it's the state itself because I don't have any of that in other states just Texas Oh if you want better Antialiasing use the Nvidia control panel Antialiasing then disable it in the game. The control panel is way better then the game.

[@BlueCollarTexan]

I live in Texas (Conroe, just north of Houston) I've lived here and traveled the whole state my whole life and they did an absolute fantastic job detailing it! Kinda sad I didn't get to see anything after Centerville since it crashed (Areas like Huntsville, Conroe, Spring). But they modeled Houston absolutely perfectly. Love to finally see my homestate get some ATS love!
