Meta Adjustments to TruckSim Threads / Content (Payware, AI and more)

96 Upvotes

We've updated our TruckSim content rules to adjust to the growing community, and thanks to this thread, these adjustments are taking into effect today.

Low Effort

Removal of Modding Request

ATS and ETS2 is growing rapidly and with this, we have seen a large increase of mod requests from liveries / paint jobs or vehicles. Modders request 90% of the time are never fulfilled and take up space timeline.

Please note, if you want a model in either of these games. Pay a modeler then convert the model with Blender yourself to make a playable vehicle.

Removal of Feedback / Suggestions

This subreddit isn't actively moderated by SCS or any other game developer. With this, please redirect all feedback or suggestion based questions to:

While these topics drive discussions, they lead nowhere, an empty void making the community feel like game developers "aren't listening" but in reality they're just working on other features.

Payware Mods

Payware mods is going nowhere due how rapidly both games are growing. We will never remove or restrict someone from sharing their thoughts video or photos of the paid mods. That's why Reddit has a downvote button for a reason.

Mods will now be separated by flairs:

  • Mod / Add-ons (Freeware)
  • Mod / Add-ons (Payware)

If thread submission features any payware from a mod that requires a subscription or a one time fee, the thread will require 'Payware'. If thread does not feature this, the thread can be taken down without notice.

Although self-promo of payware (asking for money or donations) should be posted in the Monthly Thread. Anything outside of this will be taken down. If any user see's a self-promo post, you can report it via Report > Breaks Subreddit Rules

If you don't like payware, you can head to r/scssoftware for non-payware (this subreddit follows the same guidelines as the SCS Forums).

We follow a simple rule, if you don't like payware you don't have to support it, just don't steal, pirate it or share those links with others. We strongly enforce this rule when any user reports a user, comment or thread. You will be banned permanently.

AI

AI is growing and sadly whether we like it or not, it will always be in our life's now from searching content online, online support, shopping, banking to various little things in life.

In terms of AI on this subreddit, things are changing:

  • AI should never be used in videos or photo submissions (this has been a rule for a few months now).
  • AI generated tools/content should not be locked behind a paywall. These posts will be removed.

If you want to share your AI generated payware content we suggest you create your own subreddit directed for that specific project via 'Start a Community' button in the sidebar underneath the 'Reddit' logo.

All free AI content should be posted in Monthly Thread. Topic should state "AI" in their title or body and if possible share the GitHub source code project link within the message.

ATS My First Rig - Regulations be damned

Post image
54 Upvotes

Between Kenworth K100E from steam workshop and Ruda's Peterbilt 362 - I have enjoyed driving the K100 the most in my quick jobs...maybe it being a steam workshop truck its performance was better on my thinkpad with no dedicated graphics card...

So i bought this from the used dealer, had a 5 star rating on a 77k mileage for 35k and then used another 110k for complete restoration (dunno why i did it instead of just fixing the wear and tear)...

Now i have to go back to road trip and earn more for upgrades...

Went to Brackenreach for the first time. Probably should've done this with ETS2, but I decided to force it with the long American boi. Got hooked on trees more than a few times but made it through. Definitely a challenge!

Question/Help Brake issue in Both ATS and ETS2

Post image
9 Upvotes

Greetings truckers,

I currently facing a weird issue that I've never encountered before. I can't brake the truck to fully stop, it will constantly reduce speed until it reached 5 mph, the camera also steadily zoom in, and slightly back to normal at 5 mph, it just feel like the brake just disengage. To check if I'm not tripping myself, I try to check on VNL, since VNL has a gauge (I MARKED IN RED AREA) to see applying braking force. The gauge rises when I press the pedal and stay the same throughout the process, yet it's is truly that the truck just stop braking at 5 mph, and I have to press much harder so it can stop roughly, that completely destroys the feeling. My setup is G29, Moza SRP pedal after a long time. I also don't have Air brake stimulation, rear automatic mode.

Mods / Add-ons (Freeware) I’ve made realistic spatial car audio(radio) for ETS2

44 Upvotes

I've been playing ETS2 for a long time, and i got mad because of radio feature. It plays dry mp3 over your game. I wanted sound to be spatial and realistic, here is testdrive(headphones/speakers recommended)

It is free, and open source, i may drop my github repo link somwhere here if somebody is interested. Both macos and windows are supported.

Question/Help Is there a way to modifiy game.sii on Linux? I would like to be able to modify the gross weight limit on my trailer

1 Upvotes

I used to be able to modify this parameter in order to have much heavier vaccines cargo and get a lot more money/km back on W10. But I've switched to Ubuntu earlier this year and I can't seem to be able to make the game use the new gross weight parameter on my trailer.

I've also tried with the classic mod menu but since my saves are in the .local folder, I can't access them from the mod menu as it doesn't detect folders that start with a "."

Could anyone help me out?

I came across a hidden road in Idaho, but it literally ends in a dead end and leads nowhere. Does anyone know what its purpose might be? There’s just a bus stop on the side, and that's all."

I’ve skipped pretty much every event for years now, but something made me want to give Brackenreach a go today. Turns out I got pretty lucky on run #1! I just stuck to taking lefts at every intersection, which seems to be the fastest way through. After making the drop, I went back to check out all the alternate paths.
