After the patch, I had to disable all my mods to stop the game from crashing on load, just a heads up.

does the patch include a stop light in Tonopah so I can get rid of that mod that fixed that? Edit: After watching Kilonum's stream and him driving over there to check for me, there's still no light, although it's possible that traffic was reduced. I still think that (and the other nearby T intersection) both need traffic lights so I may mod that. ssb fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Feb 15, 2016 |

The new truck is pretty cool, but the mirror placement is kinda dumb and too far out.

/\ Your truck looks like my first truck! Oh god cruising through the Nevada desert listening to sweet home Alabama and I spot a guy parachuting. That's why I brought this game. I also just did my first hard mode parking job. I'm kinda proud of myself, cause I'm a terrible driver. HardKase fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Feb 15, 2016 |

Tippis posted:It's turn signals and steering input, so you look into corners and turns. It works pretty well for just driving around, but if you're in an intersection without lights and have to look out for traffic, it will obviously not guess where you want to look. Since the game doesn't penalise you for confusing enemy vehicles with your turn signals or turning the wheel while standing still, you can still use those, but it's not the most elegant solution. So, when you are in a slight curve the vision goes ever so slightly to the direction?

TomR posted:I got my first truck today. I love my first truck:  I dunno if I'm doing this right but I took a bunch of loans to upgrade my garage and get another truck for a new driver. Should I have waited until I'm a higher level (level 7) or does it really matter and just drive trucks and do what I want?

No get your loans asap. Even maxed out, the payments are just under $8000/day, and the sooner you get drivers making you passive income the sooner you can semi-retire. e: implied is the fact that your drivers need to do jobs to level up, too, so at first they make squat but after a few levels 3 or 4 drivers can cover your loan payments easily.

I wonder how long it'll take for fans to make skin templates for the W900, if they aren't already out anyways. Need me some custom livery.

The W900 changed ATS from a meh purchase to  for me. That huge tub is just a pleasure to wrestle with on the roads. It's clumsy and has slow acceleration at low level engines, but it just feels so powerful. And it looks great!

So is anyone using any mods on ATS? What graphics settings are people ending up on? I am playing on my 5K iMac under OS X, but I don't know if it would look better if I booted into windows. Like the shadows are kinda jaggy and stuff. I have most of the settings maxed out too. For ETS2 I had one of the weather mods that made it look pretty nice. I guess it looks better when the image is scaled down...  This one is from before I upped the quality on the mirror settings:  EDIT: Maybe I can up the res or play with the scaling % or something.

JHVH-1 posted:So is anyone using any mods on ATS? What graphics settings are people ending up on? I play with maxed out everything, plus the Nvidia inspector settings from earlier in the thread. Forces Nvidia's AA vs the game's, and ends up looking super nice. If you don't have mirrors set to super high quality and super distance you're doing it wrong.

Also even AAA modern games tend to use aggressive shadow bias and fairly low resolution shadow maps. Not more than ten feet from the camera and shadows go to poo poo. e: Also America's level designer sucks and wasn't working with the engine limitations. I was driving from Nevada to Cali last night on 385 and the super wide open desert had mountains fazing in even on the highest draw distance! Realtalk: Maybe they can borrow an open world game trick and have super low LoD imposters. Dark_Swordmaster fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Feb 16, 2016 |

The W900 is an absolute dream to drive, and just clicks for me in a way the other two trucks didn't. I can't even explain why, it just feels so much more satisfying to drive. Good truck, good game.
