Greek Drama and more

Exploring a map for a good map review is not without its share of drama.

Time for some Drama in my life again. But this time it’s not courtesy of Promods’ mod map but the real official thing.
This is definitely not going to make any scratch marks, right?
It’s all in the details. And knowing SCS I bet that phone booth do exist in real life.

Welcome to Greece

Euro Truck Simulator 2: Greece was released December 4, so instead of December darkness it’s time for some Mediterranean sun. A longer review is in the works.

The world from above

I recently got a chance to try out the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and just like its predecessor (which I never played) it is an interesting beast of a game. Difficult, but interesting.

Spooky times

Happy Halloween to you all! It is the time of year for transporting ghoulish goods across both the US and Europe.

As tradition bids, SCS Software have their usual Halloween hauling event going in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. This year the challenge if you’re connected to their World of Trucks service and using external contracts is to move 13 loads of Halloween cargo between cities of your choice in order to get a couple of nice in-game rewards.

Soon to be a haunted Channel tunnel.
I bet even ghosts would like to go to Shorter College.

Perfect place to park

No, no super-strength mod was involved. This was accomplished with only an unloading bale wagon and a slightly low roof overhang.

The map is the Terralife Paligney mod map in case anyone wonders.

Slow traffic

I am not sure if this is something that was added recently, but this is as far as I can recall the first time I’ve got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor in American Truck Simulator.

The location is a highway in Arkansas, by the way.

Fun underground

Charing Cross station. All aboard.

Actually I should just have stayed underground…

Oh yes. This is England, no doubt about it.

Some people just want to show off

In fact the car was even more impressive than that. Right when I turned into the parking lot, that car jumped up into the air and rolled over. Guess it must be one of those new self-driving, smart AI ones.

Or maybe it only wanted to get belly scritches.

Christmas deliveries

It is Christmas time again, which means it is also time for the annual tradition of hauling Christmas gifts in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.

This year SCS Software has freshened up the tradition a bit by adding a whole new dimension to it. Literally another dimension. Because this time good are to be transported to and from Santa’s Winterland itself by the means of traversing through one of the many dimensional portals strategically put up on rest stops, refueling points and the likes.

No, you don’t have to hit 88 mph to make the dimensional jump. Only go to one of the designated portals.

The Winterland itself is as the name hints a very wintery place indeed with lots of snow and Christmas feeling. Also watch out, the roads are not only looking snowy – they make for snow driving when it comes to road grip too.

As usual goods deliveries made in ETS2 and ATS add up together, so if you have both games you don’t have to do all the work twice in order to get the achievements and rewards for both.
