My 2023 Graphics, Mods and Settings for American Truck Simulator

ALL SETTINGS and mods are show at the end of the video! After many requests I decided to go over all my mods, in game settings and NVidia control panel settings. We start with a run from San Antonio to Dallas. Sorry for the peaking audio, it will be fixed next time.

Appreciate the shout out Jeff! I have to say, I think the Detroit in this Pete was definitely with out a doubt the right decision! Sounded absolutely great and enjoyed watching you and hearing you pull the gears 💪🏼

[@gregadkins68]

I like your videos Jeff

[@Brxchu]

Thank you for sharing Jeff! These settings help make the game even more enjoyable!!

[@6z0]

Thanks for this video Jeff! Getting back into ATS myself after a well needed break from it.

[@pilottech9141]

Thank you so much! This video game out at the perfect time. I was planning on getting back into ATS after a 3 month break today so I needed to delete various mods, add many, and of course I needed to order them properly, so your video helped a lot!

[@jdanielzz]

Thank you so much for sharing your settings, and especially mods placing order. Much appreciated!

[@gus6777]

Jeff, the sole reason I subscribed to your channel is how thorough you are with your explanation of the settings. I appreciate this

[@juless27]

I've been actually looking for graphic mods recently, so this vid will help a ton.Thanks Jeff! Happy new year to you!

[@TravisLaRoche]

Thank you for this video Jeff, super helpful. Learned through JBX the correct graphic settings for optimal gameplay. I was so amazed how smooth gameplay/ frame rate when SSAO turned off. Thanks again for the clarification.

[@Duke49th]

Ohh...is that so? I need to continue to watch. I have massive fps drops in cities but was thinking it might be the real traffic density mod.

[@geno3994]

that is awesome that you did the modded/graphics guide you use. i always like to experment and with my upgraded pc i am able to do that.

[@Curious-c1c]

Very cool look at your settings. I revised mine to match - and my truck forgot how to drive...lol. It improved things a lot and I've kept most. I'm adapting to incorporate the rest soon-ish....lol. ATS is now my full-time job (and commenting, of course) ever since my medical adventures (sic) left me permanently stuck at home. You've improved the quality of my days, thanks for that 👍 - the commentor previously known as BradBoyle on your previous videos

[@tomgromko5641]

Thank you Jeff. Would love to see a studio tour of your new 2-room setup soon!

[@mnmfreak502]

I love how the cat scales at Truck stops work. They're finally getting truck stops correct. Compared to the early states where you just filled up at regular gas stations lol. Sliding tandems would be amazing. Thanks for the info on your settings.

[@alexsurh1472]

Yea it would be awesome if they required you to slide your tandems back before loading at a dock

[@josephklir4167]

I late to the party but I’m glad I found this video can’t wait to try some of these mods out

[@sebbehallin8067]

Thanks mate, I had problems running ATS for a while, used the exact same setting as in ETS2 were everything worked fine but in ATS it didnt and thanks to you all is fine with ATS now

[@Twitchy_Puppy]

Hey thanks for the video, those settings and mod order parts were super useful :D

[@MB-ib5ji]

Head of marketing for Bucky's was sitting there going oh look he's talking about us great! let's give this guy free lifetime food. One minute later you are band for life lol...

[@BIGamir22]

Hey jef, its been a few months since i found your "ATS" Videos and i found your ATS videos very enjoyable and interesting enough to download and play ATS for myself, i downloaded it installed some mods. Too many visits to mode manager but its a great game I just wanna say thank you and looking forward for more of your awesome ATS videos

[@coolguy231ful]

I always love watching these videos while I'm doing my school work.

[@davidpeters9343]

This was another great video as always and I enjoyed it alot and I love how you went through all your settings with us thanks for sharing that with us. Keep up the great work Jeff much love to ya brother have a good one take care God bless and I will see ya on the next one catch ya later

[@bnsfr6]

Thank you for this type of video Jeff getting my first gaming computer in March with a 32 inch curved monitor and ats now this will help me with settings much love hope your doing good and the family 🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@RichardEKranz]

I had over 400 mods at one point, mostly paint skins and trailer skins, but I cant do with out my older trucks. Love em.

[@victorflinzner4785]

great videos by the way Jeff as always. I did a lot of research about this game that's how I fixed my stutter problem by playing around with the scaling untill I found what my pc can handle.

[@killianfritz5840]

So glad you went through all your stuff at the end. Haven't found exactly what I like with settings, so I'm using your settings and changing them to better suit my setup!

[@jfavignano]

Glad I could help!

[@killianfritz5840]

@@jfavignano Overall it's better, a lot of little things are gone now!👍

[@JerodM]

I think you have mastered the use of mods. You do it strategically and tastefully. It really makes ATS seem more "realistic" in your setup when I compare it to other ATS drivers.

[@connordh89]

How are you supposed to know what to put where in the mod list. Is there a guide for it?

[@thirstyworks1465]

@@connordh89 There are guides on the scs forums and also on the promods site

[@MrMagoo-no5lb]

​@connordh89 late to the party, hope you got your answer somewhere else. Order is important, and will for the most part be, Build the world first (maps), then everything in the world (scenery, signs, stores, etc), then truck parts followed by trucks, trailers etc lastly behaviors (police, weather, traffic, sounds). As long as you follow that guy the line and The Mods are not messed up. Comma you won't have any crashes or errors.

Cool to see more stuff with ATS Jeff. I hope you’re having a great New Year. Take care!

Great video buddy👍🏻

IRL the pick up location at the beginning in the Toyota plant in San Antonio. I used to work there so its so cool to see how closely it looks to the plant.

[@chrism869]

I always do this when I play ats,it's so good it enhances it so well

[@natedobson1666]

A. DuiePyle truck @23:58 orange truck is part of cabinet factories being shipped out all around USA. They are part out with the cabinet factory I used to work for and always have their trucks and trailers around the property to load and unload cabinets and parts. Some cabinets are small to big tall size fully built. Keep up the good work.

[@redbelliedgaming]

Ill say that engine definitely sounds amazing. Im going to have to check it out myself

Happy to get more ATS!!!

[@coltynoberg3473]

Mmmujjmyu6y

[@dand3975]

Jeff thank you for going over the settings you use in ATS, I did not know about the driveshaft torque. Also I set the trailer stability like yours. Wondering if the trailer will jack knife in the rain when braking with the trailer brakes. You mentioned sliding tandems and scaling each axle, Excellent recommendation to SCS. Yard dog mode would be very cooI. I find the Texas roads confusing too, thumbs up on the harder loading docks.

[@lcspells6005]

Thanks for the settings you use. You should do on for your track ir as well :)

[@Haulin45Gaming]

very good job mate 🥰👍👍

[@b9bot148]

Thanks for this Jeff.

[@johnbaillargeon7037]

Awesome setting my game has never been so good I copied your settings. Game is so good now ty man

[@JasonDenson09]

Cool to see more of Texas. Definitely weird with the scaling sometimes. I actually live in Waco so watching you blow through it was definitely off lol

[@Jacey2001]

this is awesome. so use all the PNG mods and the JBX? just recently hooked on this sim. cant stop

[@kentbyron1738]

Yay more ats content🥳

Amazing video ! bro ! ty so so much!! grettings from Argentina :D ( world champions fifa :D )

I wish ats would fix the scales where if your overloaded you get fined and would be nice to if you can buy permits from the scales to haul heavy loads and the cops that would actually chase you and pull you over for speeding and other traffic laws good video jeff keep up the good work

Happy New Year bud hope you're doing well. How do you like the force feedback on the TGT2? Do you like the feel better then your old one?

[@lucasbrisson1965]

Love the vids

[@sixpest]

THANK YOU!

[@jpierce1987]

Got my VR set up today and got the Texas DLC. It's so much more fun in VR! Tomorrow I head back to the real truck. That one might feel a little more real than the VR rig... We'll see. LoL

[@loganpaklonsky8367]

Love the video

[@Deweydoo]

this video literally doubled my fps and my game still looks the same 😁😁😁

[@clydeterry2289]

You should hear my trucker music even when I’m watching you all on KZbin the music go with whatever you driving

[@pstraghan]

Great vid and mods. I saw you had more than 3 controllers in the game settings. I recently found my button box (on top of shifter,wheel,pedals) can't be added / recognised, how did you (or anyone) get round this?

[@BigMeanyVids]

I just crank everything to max on graphics and looks pretty good. 400% scaling, etc…. Course I’m running on a VR capable racing sim complete with vibration so ATS is pretty easy on it in comparison. I might see about ATS in VR but loving this sim. Bought it last year but only just now starting to play it after 12 months and I like it.

[@lukemontgomery9683]

I have to get back into ATS it’s so good and i’d like to point out that i’m on vacation in California and i just stopped by the real life Sandy Shores

[@cassius8409]

Great video Jeff. Please don't take this as a complaint,..just an FYI that's interesting (at least to me) on OTR engine's that I researched (and that I added to my ATS profile, for nerds like me). Detroit Diesel engines can (only) be found on Western Star and Freightliner trucks since 2001. Caterpillar stopped producing OTR truck engines in 2016. Generally, neither are available engines, even as an option. Paccar is interesting...they build engines and own both Kenworth & Peterbilt truck companies. Hence they're being the default engines in both brands. In the end, Cummins comes out on top, it's at least an option for all brands. All this being said, I'm gonna put both Cat's & Detroit's in my next few trucks. Love your channel & this game. According to Steam, I'll hit 7,300hrs of playtime this weekend😳 - EDIT: hit 7,300 on Sunday.

[@gloriakeyes3293]

i love your truck you my favorite youtube and i love to see you play your truck in american truck sim

[@mr.pinckney]

Buckees has the best and cleanest rest rooms for road trip stops. Otherwise they are just too busy to shop at.

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

Gonna watch this and learn more about the sim and the mods. I'm rounding up stuff, looking at steering wheels, pedals, and shifters. And I want to learn about mods. I found Outlaw's Peterbilt 359, and I found two mods for the Spicer 6 over 4 transmission. I haven't yet found a mod for the juiced Detroit Diesel 8V-92TA engine.

[@saverRluser]

Thanks bro

[@leafbelly]

Not that I don't enjoy your voice, but those quiet moments of just listening to the ambient sounds of the game are very cool -- especially with headphones -- almost like an ASMR experience. And the only way I've been able to get rid of most of the aliasing is to run the game in 4K, which isn't bad, even on a 3060ti with a 9600K. Anything lower that 4K and the tops of buildings and electrical lines are all a jagged mess. It still runs at 60fps for me, which is perfect (to me) for a game like this.

[@RedeemerBlood]

Especially the shadows on electrical lines look atrocious.

[@Jackal-xc9sw]

Cheers Jeff

[@alcan5753]

Are the setting 1920x1080(6:9) the same as you have in the game 2560x1440(16:9)? If not is there a video that can be used? Otherwise GREAT videos & keep them coming.

[@anonymousinc6330]

Jeff, I've been considering the PNG mod after seeing some discussion of sketchiness regarding JBX. I notice this video was a year or so ago. Are graphics mods still worth having with the new game engine used in the newest versions? I play offline too if it matters.

[@Shadow_180]

Yes, another ATS video.

[@DashhoundDaddy]

Hey Jeff hey I was wondering do you have a video by chance on your Nvidia profile settings

[@Riguezjr]

hey are you using reshade too? also use JBX config settings too?

[@b9bot148]

Stuttering does happen if you are driving in areas that you have not gone through before as well.

[@juanredman9882]

Hey Jeff do you still have vertical sync on Use 3D application setting ? have a 144hz 4k monitor. What would you suggest please ?

[@Sawyer3311]

Hey Jeff! Do you think you could maybe post a video about your trackir settings? I recently got trackir and I’ve had some trouble tweaking it perfectly.

[@RedeemerBlood]

Yes! This was my next question too. Never showed his Nvidia overlay settings also.

[@jfavignano]

@@RedeemerBlood I don't use nvidia overlay

[@benwelsch4893]

Its so cool that you live in st.louis. I live there too, well 15min west of stl. and i have a rtx4080 build. Most parts i bought from microcenter in brentwood.I have about $5K invested in my gaming setup so far.

[@benwelsch4893]

What does it mean if i downloaded the doms 379 and all the windows are pure black?

[@davidfehir9103]

How are you getting your refresh rate up to 119hz? mine will only let me turn it up as high as 60hz. I also can't find that resolution setting you have and I can't seem to find the nvidia control panel.

[@9n3racing90]

Hi Jeff, would you please share your OBS or SLOBS recording settings? CBR or CQP? Bitrate, or CQ level? Etc. Many thanks!

[@TSGxTheGAMERxxx]

Question? What Are The Differences Between JBX 2 & JBX 3 I’m Current Running JBX 2 And Seeing Is It Worth The Upgrade

[@tylerm7591]

How do you have your patriot box mounted? Is there a way to clamp it somewhere instead of having to drill holes?

[@MalachiDees2005]

Question: Any chance of LSPDFR coming back full-time, or even with special episodes (4th of July, Christmas, etc;)?

[@skyztboneyt3798]

Hey jeff what is the suspension mod that you use? Thanks

[@b9bot148]

If you have an NVidia graphics card there is a video from Panjno on KZbin that has some great optimizations which makes the game runway better and all games for that matter in the Nvidia control panel.

[@4orcedInduction69]

Yo Jeff, amazing video, but have been thinking about upgrading to a load cell pedal system. How do the T-lcm pedals work on ATS?

[@jfavignano]

I love them

[@Sasha_87_Oo]

hello there i was wondering what mods your using for the trafic ? :)

[@anonymousfuck9320]

Will try These Sterings. Still confused about brakes and stability. Wonder whats most realistic

[@Jscruggs5]

Do you have a video on your trackir settings?

[@lgvdbroek]

Jeff at first, tnx for sharing, but You turn on the vertical sync at 38:31. But then you just load the main CPU with calculating the sync. Wouldn't it be better to turn off the sync here on the ATS/ETS2 and to turn on the Vsync on the Video card in the NVDIA settings there ?. Because the Vsync is calculated by the processors on the video card that are made for that purpose. don't you think ?

[@sebbehallin8067]

Which refresh rate are you using in NVIDIA Control Panel?

[@derrickboegel3597]

Cool 😎 🆒️

[@victorflinzner4785]

Also Jeff try setting your pc to high performance go to settings power and sleep additional power settings and click on high performance that might help also just trying to help you out.

[@victorflinzner4785]

Hi Jeff I believe it's the scaling setting your using cause if you already have a High quality monitor you don't need to run scaling high because scaling and ssao and mirror settings does eat up alot of frames

[@woody5217]

What is your current pc setup to run these graphic settings?

[@dustinpennell2823]

Do you have settings for farm sim as well, I can not figure mine out.

[@HaydenCMH]

Jeff, I experienced erratic frame times (which produced noticeable stutter) with the same traffic density mod you have in there. Definitely seems to be either an issue with that mod specifically, or when paired with Jazzycat (as I did that as well).

[@Duke49th]

I have that only in cities. But it is the game engine. It cannot handle so much traffice/buildings etc. etc. - the most noticeable stutters is when it loads new traffic in. Of course, the more content related mods you have, the worse it gets. So it is maybe because of the mods, but actually it is the game engines fault.

[@ghastous]

yeh i tried that mod and was same the fps is terrible with it so i got rid till the modder least optimizes it more

[@easton8400]

Can you make one again with all the new settings added and if you changed anything
