You bought the W900 in the map series. If you come back to the map series do not use the map mod EMMN. The developer steals stuff from others and that map is so crap. Use DNA, Western Canada, and Great America instead, they give out more roads and do not have stolen content.

Really enjoying you doing these again, load of memories. The big milestone of now owning your own truck and the freedom you now have is endless and one of the better milestone. Great work as always mate

That ice cream delivery was the equivalent of 41,414 tubs of Ben and Jerry's and that seems a crazy amount in that trailer but they can actually fit 60,000 tubs!

One day you’ll get there, 20 perfect deliveries here we go! 🎉

Public Beta is out now to test version 1.61.**. Give it a try if you only feel like trying it. It stuff live improved material textures, like metal, leather, plastic, and fabric, since you look at your cabin while driving.

Fun video as always. The best mod for lightening night skies 'Bright Nights'

Hey Zilla! Another great video. I love the trivia episodes. I’ll definitely be watching any of those you put out.

Happy truckin’

Its was going so well four number 14. Excellent work on the parking and looking forward to the paint job. Many thanks.

The Arch was just on your left as you drove across the bridge leaving St Louis. I used to live within an easy walk from there in a high-rise apartment building

Teaching me how to play the game effectively. Thanks. Yes, the sleep system HAS changed! More realistic, I think.

American trucks look so much cooler than European/ British trucks! The $27 is how much ice cream you’ve stolen to eat while you’re driving! 😂

nice video Zilla :) love ice cream!

Hi Mike, great to have you back trucking, I've missed your ramblings. I'm wondering if you're not seeing many random events, as SCS actually disabled detours a while back 🤔

The console versions are definitely coming, quite a few of the updates lately have been to facilitate the console versions, especially the UI ones. I'll be sticking with the PC versions, but I do think it's a good idea to bring the game to the console markets, especially with Road Trip coming out. Would be fun cruising Route 66 on the TV with a controller in-hand.

Parking was a textbook an example of an easy 90. I've definitely seen 40s harder than that.

Not only are they coming to console, but they are far enough along that there will be a ready hands-on look on the PS5 at the Tokyo Game Show from September 17 to 21. SCS will have a booth, which means all kinds of update videos will be coming out. So it's not if but when.

I saw a Short in ATS/ETS2 (can't remember which) with a farmers protest, with loads of tractors blocking the road - I was wondering if this was part of the random events mod you've included. Do you know if there are anything as significant as that with the mod?

There was a mod for lights which I am using (Realistic Lights Mod (by Frkn64))- doesn't do so well at dusk but makes a huge difference at night. Might be worth a look, but there might be better out there.

Sleep system is much improved. I really like what they've done with it.
