Logging in Canada with Zee's Cummins Big Cam!

[@dawsenkindall9137]

The reason it wouldn’t go into gear is because going uphill when you pull it out of gear the transmission slows down a lot faster than when you are on a flat surface. There is no way to get around it. When floating gears you need to get the RPM’s higher than normal and float from one gear to another as quickly as you can. I drive for a living and it’s the little trick I’ve found.

[@AllWheatherSim]

That’s definitely true. I drove a cabover in the 90’s and had to double clutch all the time and not an option going up hill such as an off-ramp. Learned better techniques when I drove conventional trucks when I went long haul. Definitely have to use the rpm’s and understand the ratios in order to have a clean floating of gears. You learned to shift real quick when double-clutching cab overs. Miss those days. Great comment, thank you for posting it🙌🇺🇸

[@typicalrogers563]

When you downshift, while floating gears, you are suppose to hit the gas again once in neutral to raise the rpms up, rpm matching I think is the term used. Its not like when upshifting, which is very easy, and you just shift. That's why the gears were grinding they were not at the same rpms, or close to the same, so the gear couldn't slip in. I simple way to do it until you get the feel is , based off his 1800rpm that you like to shift at, I would lower the rpm to about 1300, foot off gas and shift to neutral, hit the gas to raise the rpm up to 1800 then foot off gas, shift down and then go as normal. It's literally just a tap of the gas when in neutral to rpm match, this took me a while to learn in real-life and in the game it threw me off a bit since the timing is a little off, but you will feel the flow once you get comfortable.

[@rusty4104]

We had a 4 speed with a 239 in our gmc 4104. Climbing mountains in west Virginia I would downshift, you have to bring the rpm’s up to the speed you need the engine to be for 3rd gear ran all the way out. If you didn’t, you’d miss it then it was time to start hunting for 2nd. I did a lot of grinding gears to learn that. My grandfather drove a 3 stick b model Mack in the 60’s. He did it flawlessly.

[@pierce_arrow1798]

You can also skip a gear or two. Or use jake when shifting which some people would not recommend but I know a bunch of people who do it that have been driving for a very long time

[@AnthraXaXis]

yup and even going from top low to bottom 1st is usually a pain in the... on flat ground when 100k lbs trying to pull you back hahaha

[@FEEAR1000]

Oh yes this is what I like to see! Dangerous roads, logging and some talking with pro mods. Love it! Hopefully you can do more Australia trucking with logging

[@sixpest]

off topic: Ive been on the channel since the Rig'n Roll days and Gta4 lcfd mod days, And hes still got it. Just truly enjoyable content. and a great personality! Keep being you man you're still awesome!

[@crystalthewolf8945]

Love this game, picked it up early this month and already have 40 hours in it

[@ThunderingDiesel]

Nice, I have over 500 hrs

[@captainsmoke3633]

Make sure there are free zee mod sounds on the steam market. Beter playing with mods

[@prestonwestenbarger7557]

I'm just about at 40 hours myself, also picked up earlier this month. I slowed down playing it though because I don't have a wheel (yet) and driving a truck that requires fine corrections doesn't mix well with a cheap HOTAS 🤣 (and keyboard + mouse is even worse) Hopefully I can get my hands on a T300rs GT or T300 Alcantara in the near future. Did you get any of the other states on sale?

[@zakouragus]

@@prestonwestenbarger7557 i also drive with a g920, i can't drive with joystick or mouse keyboard anymore... i had to sell my g27 and i stopped to play, only came back when bought this g920

[@prestonwestenbarger7557]

@@zakouragus I bet the sim is SO much more fun now that you have a proper wheel! I'm looking at prices on force feedback wheels and they are marked up double or more from MSRP, so I might have to wait on buying one 😓

[@Nathan_A_RF]

This may be a longer video, but really nice to watch. Thanks for the kind words about the devs' work Jeff.

[@Zaltic]

Watching Jeff's videos first thing in the morning is a fantastic way to start the day

[@noahater5785]

Agreed!

[@wayrcwestcoast]

I travel this Hwy from Vancouver to Squamish everyday and I have to say, Promods have done a fantastic job. Thank you for posting this video :) Im going to look into getting this! :)

[@O.z.z.y]

I live in Vancouver

[@themindflayerst_]

Love the truck, the sound mod and the Canada mod by Promods....makes me love ATS so much and keeps me playing it!! Hope you do more of these long runs in the near future....

[@swisscyborg.9515]

Would be cool to be able to see Jeff and the boys have a server where they all have there own companies and help each other out when needed.

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

30:43 Yes I agree 100%, I've been trucking in the snow and it's amazing, that Big Cam sounds so good, another great run in the books Jeff!

[@chrisb62]

The way the ai is driving in these maps is incredibly accurate to real life.

[@tysoncomfort4244]

ive beeen doing trucking in canada for about 5 months now and its been some of the best times of my life i love it its peaceful and relaxing out on the open road but it is lonely

[@spheu]

hope BC has a speedy recovery from the recent flooding, loved the video btw

[@RyanDutchak]

We’ll be fine

[@suraajsingh8780]

We’re getting better

[@CptGioYT]

got to say men the engine sounds by zee are on point. coming from a trucker

[@brendanzio]

the NT 855 has got to be one of the best sounding engines ever, love those old cummins engines

[@dylanlafrance]

My god, that is a sweet setup Jeff, threw me off guard for a second cause I won't lie haven't watched ya trucking stuff to much so wasn't aware of how immersive your setup is. I legit thought at first you were purposefully wiggling the chair, until I clued it that it's part of the setup itself. LOL. Much Love, keep up the great content!

[@turnerg]

It's really cool being able to watch you drive through Washington and being able to actually visualize where you are since i grew up there and have been all over the state. I highly recommend taking a vacation out here if you havent already, checking out the Olympic Peninsula, Hurricane ridge, the Quinalt Rainforest, Quinalt lodge, deception pass bridge (it's in this video), and the north cascades. Best time to go is summer time, there are only really 3-4 months of good weather in WA June thru September. It's not St. Thomas by any means but it is beautiful.

[@JoseGonzalez-pv6sy]

I say it’s always good to feel at home when ever the guys play

[@mjlevesque6016]

I've recently been able to get a great gaming pc for all main titles released and releasing. But all I can play is ATS. I'm addicted I've had it for maybe 1 week and I'm already at over 80 hours. Why play AAA games that stutter have BAD mods and don't feel polished at all just a copy paste of the old game when you can play ATS or ETS2. These games are so polished and give so much love and time to make it feel good and not a buggy mess that no one has a good time. Amazing work SCS

[@Cloud-ql3oy]

THANX for these truck simulator vids, Jeff. It amazes me, the realism of these games. Plus it helps my anxiety

[@Outlawoverlanding2015]

Drove pilot truck on these roads lots and did some low bedding aswell, nothing beats wild Canadian scenery.

[@RushFreak]

Hyped to finally try this update, but I just had to watch your plays first. That truck sounds *so* good, like wow! I've hardly been up into the BC interior so this is a great way to get a taste of it.

[@cedricnanud]

That's really nice how very close they detailed the Sea to Sky corridor where I'm from, I wish the drive from Pemberton to whistler was that quick..

[@wetbobspongepants]

That drive is even quicker when you are on your way to work. It's also slower when heading to the Pemberton Hotel for off sales on the way home.

[@jamaicanlovrboy]

Jeff is big ballin....that man's seat is moving with the truck

[@nicholasrush4879]

Hey Jeff nice truck im canadian myself always nice to see you play that mod enjoy

[@Hossdelux]

Just finding this video now. But where you started. The literal next valley east is where my grandpa lived for for nearly all his life. I loved that place and wish I could go back but the last piece was sold about 10 years ago. My great grandpa had 1200 Acres of land there. Sold 800 in the 70s to BC Hydro and then sold more in the 90s but yeah. I love that part of Canada and want to retire out there for sure. The homes in that valley were all built by my family. 3 generations lived in that valley, my moms generation moved to the city while my grand parents stayed out there till their late 70s when their health was in decline. Also you mention the temp is 77f at some point while on the logging road. Because of the altitude and the proximity to the ocean still affecting weather it easily can get into the 80+ on a sunny summer day. Edit: Ah I was typing all this thinking you were going to be routed past Lillooet. But Pemberton is further West. At 37:48, thats a salt or snow shed, iconic for the area. They all look like that, they store road salts and gravel for use in winter.

[@AllWheatherSim]

I hadn't had a chance to introduce the Pro-Mods Canada map, but will definitely be incorporating that into the Sim. I did get Zee's Cummins Big Cam-actually grabbed all of the engine mods. The sound quality is so much more realistic. Plan to do some serious long haul using that map. Great video again, and love the Ruda truck!

[@BIGamir22]

Hey jeff i have seen almost all of your ATS videos, but this is the best one yet👌

[@jacobiceps9452]

Always gonna be a good day when Jeff uploads!!

[@JustQuacked]

I’d say the wait was worth it, and I don’t know if it’s just me but it does look a lot better. Great job 👍🏼

[@DragonessEmmett]

god that JB sounds so good the more i listen to it more i want to play ATS

[@captainsmoke3633]

Scratch the motor home this is amazing👍Love it. Had a chill weekend will some cold beers and promods enjoying the crap out of it. Really need to invest into a wheel for this game🤔

[@tylerskipworth8227]

Jeff that truck sounds absolutely awesome!

[@danw1955]

This was fun!! The big cam 400 sounds are VERY accurate. I've sat behind a few real ones, so I know.😄 If they could come up with a couple of classic Detroits like an 8V-71 and/or 6-71, I'd LOVE to hear them. Even the Jake brake sounds are accurate with the turbo spooling up on the Jake! Gear changes, general cab sounds... all very immersive! Almost makes me want to get back into gaming, but being on a limited income, I don't think it will be happening in this lifetime.😜

hi jeff and everyone also the truck is great and i had this pop up while i was playing my semi game so good to se it :)

[@Firemann03]

Love the video and the sounds were amazing. It actually sounds like you’re inside a real semi. Without getting too technical. That engine is a PACCAR engine. It is built by Cummings, but it’s a packer motor. That’s all Peterbilt uses other than the Cat engines. But the engine and the jake brakes did sound amazing on that.

[@tinmanstavern]

Huh dawg?

Awesome video Jeff. Keep up the bangers. Also I can’t wait for Texas an Montana.

You should check out HFG’s project 3xx with the logging truck add on. It’s a foldable logging truck that is commonly used in British Columbia. Fun to drive and lots of customization.
