In case you were looking at trying Australia, I made a video on it for YouTube.
I'm pretty sure its going to be a challenger to ATS, but it's early days yet. Let me know what you think over on YT!

Jeff takes Australia by the roo and makes some notes about the newcomer to the trucking simulator front. We had a demo of this game a while back, and since t...

It's back and won't crash your game. My month off was nice but its time to learn, but I don't want to hold you all back from using this in 1.54. Sidekit and Quickdraw are available for use currently while I learn the systems needed to make the previous loads work.

Thank you for your patience!

You all know I love educating. Here I did it live a number of years ago. Start to finish, obj/blend -> in game! Trailer version of course. If you are trying, here's a live unedited over 4 hours to get you started.

A livestream showing how to take an obj/blend file and put it in game.

Last weekend, my son and I went to Touch a Truck in Wellfleet, Massachusetts . Folks from Cape Cod Excavating, Inc. Robert Childs Inc Cavossa Disposal Silver Cloud Towing Buckler's Towing Service Capeway Towing Wellfleet Police Department Truro Police Department Provincetown Police Department Eastham Police Department Orleans Police Department Falmouth Police Department Barnstable County Sheriff's Office Barnstable Police Department Yarmouth Police Dept. Massachusetts Department of Fire Services and a ton more were out with trucks, trailers, diggers, fire trucks, and police vehicles.

I just wanted to thank them all for their dedication to the community here on Cape Cod! These types of things inspire me to get back to work on trucking stuff!

I announced I was taking a break last week.

I've had more sign ups to the Patreon this week than normal weeks.

I also have had a 300% increase in requests for help. Even someone offering to take over one of my mods.

I'm not dead. Just taking a break...

Since like 5 people use the Edison, I was only just made aware that somewhere along the way it stopped showing up in the Kenworth dealer.

It now shows up in the mod dealer.

The public Manac Steel 48' Flatbed (By Corby) is coming along. I've separated this trailer into a bunch of different parts and will continue doing so until I have a better hang of the new system, but a quick turnaround on this so far.

Changes so far:

-Removed duplicated body and original files (less bloat: 40MB down from 110MB)
-separated headboard into the f_body accessory
-added nodes for new cargo system
-updated sii files for new cargo system

More to come:

-different options for bumper and markers
-more changes to sii files

Thanks for hanging in there with me while I get things updated for you all. 🤙

Hello everyone,

As you know my time is limited currently, so I've been working on 1.54 things as I can, with two projects in the pipeline as well.

DDS Dryvan, which is a Patreon mod currently, and based off a Manac Dryvan, is working in 1.54 without a hitch.

Additionally, the Stoughton Z-Plate, and the Manac Ultraplate are both working in 1.54 as well, tested this morning and with loads. These are both free mods which you can find on my public Trucky profile here: https://truckymods.io/user/1025

I do appreciate your support in waiting for these updates from me for the Reitnouer V2. The V1 has been marked out of stock on the website until which time I can update it for the current version.

🤙

Just a reminder, a good amount of trailers will be broken, especially my Reitnouer. Please be patient while I get these updated and working over the next few weeks.

🤙
