The first one is self-explanatory. You can find footage from Gamescom on youtube and other social media where people were able to play with it.

The second one doesn't seem to work right now, at least for trucks. I reached 92-93 mph in Mack Anthem and then braked to zero three times, with three different values of the setting: 0%, 100% and 200% (g_cam_fov_speed 2) and there was no FOV change. Even setting it to 10 had no noticeable effect.

I wonder what direction will it work? Will it increase FOV for that "cinematographic" effect, or will it reduce FOV to simulate "tunnel vision" that's typical while driving Autobahns at high speed, when drivers can only comprehend the lane they're in.

EDIT: A developer confirmed it doesn't work for trucks either.

I had asked earlier about the choice between DAF and Mercedes. The DAF fit my container trailer like a glove.

Does anyone here know what the power steering on a large bus or truck feels like? Does a wheelbase like an R5 , say , paired with ETS2 generate realistic force feedback and torque?

I've seen tons of reviews on the size , shape , etc. But I would like to know if any real truckers or people who have had experience turning a truck wheel would say this is a close replication of it.

Thanks!

So, what I like to do is just pick a job at the company I just delivered to. This way I don’t drive without a trailer and it’s convenient when I delivered to pick one right away. Only downside is that sometimes the jobs don’t take me where I wanna go.

Hi!

I made a free truck sim companion. Honestly it was a personal project and some friends told me to make it public.

Trucksim Dash

The app can be used on both web desktop and mobile with a portable .exe installed on PC. You can also download everything from the GitHub repo provided in the web.

It serves as an external GPS and shows other info like job pay, speed, speed limit, cruise speed, ETA and wear/damage.

It uses the telemetry SDK (link provided in the web).

It works in ATS and ETS2.

Feedback is appreciated.

Hope you like it!

As you can guess from the title, I finally downloaded ETS 2 and started playing. I'm already was able to do most of the driving academy to get a good feeling for driving, cornering and reversing with a trailer on. But I was eager to get on the road so I skipped the last few ones for now.

My current setup is a Fanatec CSL DD (8Nm) with the round CSL steering wheel and the fanatec csl pedals. As you can guess from that I also do Simracing but I also wanted to do some more relaxed driving from time to time. I also already have TrackIR which also is a lot of help for a more immersive experience in first person which I'm unsing while driving. I only switch to the outside view to check my parking jobs or if I'm pretty sure to hit something behind me with the trailer which I can't see at all.

My question to you guys would be what you recommend regarding additional hardware/software to make my experience even better.

I already mapped a lot of buttons on my wheel like blinkers, light and wiper control, cruise control, trailer hitching/unhitching, zoom, ignition and start motor. I there any other buttons I defintly should have on the wheel because the will be used a lot?
In addition the not have to use my keyboard anymore at all I thought about getting something like a stream deck or something similar but cheaper from amazon.

I also didn't look into mods at all. I heard that there are a few you definitily should have. But I have no idea which are really helpful for a better and more immersive experience and which don't make sense at all.

Also gameplay suggestions (on what to focus first e.g.) and skilltree help is welcome.

I'm happy for any suggestions from this very experienced trucker community.
Thanks already and keep trucking!

With Man TGX Euro 6 i was getting most fluid stutter free experience almost everywhere exceot Finland. I found out reason is only 2 mirrors (2 extra cameras to render instead of ususal 5-6) Nothing groundbreaking i'm sure but tried with one mod that adds digital mirror without concave (i think mod author used man and daf models) and second one that remove side mirror. Driving with my monster with too many lights trough Greece and really smooth ride. I dunnoi maybe it works for some maybe not for me in VDXR metrics game is running at 4-7 ms most of the time.

**ATS has never truly felt massive at 1:20 scale.**

That’s why we’re building something different.

We’re developing a serious **1:10 scale ATS map project** focused on realism, long-distance immersion, dense scenery, authentic road design, and journeys that finally feel like driving across the real America.

Development is already well underway, with substantial in-game progress being made. We’ve assembled a growing team of creators and are continuing to expand to take the project even further.

**We’re currently looking for:**

• Map editors — terrain, roads & detailing

• Asset creators — custom models & scenery

• Prefab/intersection editors

• Road realism & detailing specialists

This is an **unpaid passion project**, but we’re treating it seriously, with long-term goals, high standards, and an emphasis on quality over rushing development.

The goal is simple: **build an ATS map that actually feels massive.**

If you want to help create one of the most ambitious ATS map experiences out there, **now is the time to join.**

Interested? DM me or join our Discord:

**Sincerely,**

**TGM Map Team**

I don't know what mod could cause these black boxes.

I was a patient boy and waited for an update in hope the bloody MUSIC PLAYER will finally work for me. Not that radio stream or game radio, i want my music and I STILL CAN'T HAVE IT! It's just lying into my face each time i check, full of hope, utterly disappointed each and every time.

I always listened to my music which i regularly changed the files to refresh the stack. But it's broken in both ATS and ETS2 since last update when they introduced that new player, it never detects the mp3 files.

Anybody has a clue why? So far i deleted games and documents folders, each reinstallation or just file verification being a disappointment.

Faults in the concrete construction were observed in the spring of 2025 and IKEA immediately closed the store until further notice. They have not released specifics regarding the problem, but the main suspicion is regarding the concrete reinforcement.
The warehouse consists of multiple concrete floors placed on pillars with parking spaces underneath.

Edit: I’m just sharing interesting facts about Uppsala here I don’t know what everyone is so upset about.

Hello, I'm just looking to see if there are any mods that factor deadheading into your pay for a job? I feel like the ui for the job board is not so great. I just want to be picking the most lucrative jobs early on until I'm filthy rich

Some people managed to get DLSS5 working on ETS2 in RenoDX Discord. Photos taken from RenoDX Discord by user named llcix. No Graphic Mods used, only DLSS5 NR and LumeniteFX.
