"The Nebraska DLC is the latest addition to the American Truck Simulator map, and it does not disappoint! I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Nebraska during its early access phase, and logging hundreds of miles post release - exploring “The Cornhusker State” from east to west and everything in between. SCS Software has raised the bar on quality once again by recreating the natural beauty, landmarks, and logistic networks of the state to an exceptional level. Although the Nebraska DLC has many great attributes, a highlight feature for me is the brand new Dynamic Loading/Unloading feature! Simply put… It’s game changing! From Omaha to Scottsbluff, the Nebraska DLC offers something for every ATS player." - Prime Simulations

"The Nebraska DLC is a brilliant addition to American Truck Simulator, Time after time SCS Software releases a DLC which gets better and better. They have once again done a fantastic job with this  DLC which I know loads of ATS players are truly enjoying. Hitting the roads and exploring the many highly detailed cities which this great DLC has to offer brings a massive amount of immersion and realism, I am really enjoying exploring Nebraska, Brings a great amount of fun with exploring amazing scenery along the way. I thank SCS Software for their truly fantastic work which they have done with the Nebraska DLC and all of the work they have created in the past. I look forward to seeing what they have planned for the future!" - Duude

My Over-The-Road Trucking Adventure

As a former over-the-road truck driver, I have spent countless miles driving across Nebraska on Interstate Highway 80 as I traversed the country. I have also spent a great deal of time picking up and delivering loads in Grand Island, so I was amazed to see the accurate recreation of the area, including the main truck stop there; seeing the tank and caboose on display at the entrance really took me back! Thank you to SCS for allowing me to relive my adventures across Nebraska; you've done it again! - My Over-The-Road Trucking Adventure

"Once again SCS has shown just what its team is capable of with the latest Nebraska release... Going into this DLC my expectations were drive through a state with not a lot of character so to say. I must say that I was completely proven wrong. The sights in Nebraska shift from the more natural landscapes like seen in previous DLC's to more historical landmarks, places of interest and small towns with cultural importance. After a week of exploring Nebraska, I feel like I have not only gotten more terrific content to explore in American Truck Simulator but also a lesson in its history. Not everything is marked on the map as a photo trophy or viewpoint either which I soon found out after entering Nebraska for the first time. So, keep your head on a swivel while exploring this wonderful DLC because you never know just what you will find out there. The challenge is finding the challenge." -Nightmare_Se

"Kansas! The long-awaited DLC arrived in my hands, and let me tell you that it was a pleasure to travel its routes, where the blue sky and the great plains covered with sunflower plantations accompanied us. Both agriculture and livestock are noticeable in every kilometer traveled and transmit that peace so characteristic of the countryside. This Kansas DLC is ideal to enjoy by getting into your truck, with your list of favorite songs, and enjoying everything it has to offer. Without a doubt, an experience that deserves to be lived or, rather, driven." - RamaSabeee.

"SCS Software has done it again. This time with Kansas, the Sunflower State. From the natural grasslands to historic towns like Dodge City, you will find plenty of roads and scenic settings to see. The quality and love that SCS Software puts into every mile brings this latest DLC to life. As a retired truck driver, I can truly appreciate the realism of a driving simulator that feels immersive and realistic. From all of us at TeamConvoy we wish you, the #BestCommunityEver, happy trucking," - TruckinCowboy.

"The Kansas DLC for American Truck Simulator is a true masterpiece. The developers have gone the extra mile to capture every aspect of this state in meticulous detail, creating unforgettable journeys through picturesque landscapes. The most impressive feature is the detailed representation of terrains, charming towns, and authentic vegetation. The quality of terrain execution, road textures, and details is remarkable, crafting a realistic environment. The DLC seamlessly integrates with the rest of the game, ensuring consistency and smooth gameplay. It's not just a new map; it's a full-fledged experience of traveling through Kansas, enriching the virtual journeys for every truck simulator enthusiast," - Seba3711.

"Kansas! What a pleasure it has been, from exploring the bustling cities to cruising on the open roads through prairie plains! This DLC is absolutely stunning and the details throughout really show the care and thought SCS has put into it. As someone who lives outside of the States, it has been fascinating to learn more about the Sunflower State and its industries - it really feels alive as you drive through. Keep your eyes peeled for the Yellow Brick Road, truckers!" - keeweewuh.

"One year ago I started playing Euro Truck Simulator and since then I have been waiting for this DLC and finally it’s here! The new West Balkan DLC is amazing and I was excited to be driving in all the new countries. The cities that you can drive through are really well-made, and there is a lot of them! The DLC contains a lot of beautiful scenery and nice details. I really enjoyed exploring the different landmarks. I have been stopping at the viewpoints just to watch them in both day- and nighttime, which I need to confess has made me need to go a bit over the speed limit to deliver my cargo in time afterwards. I love to travel in real life, and I've been fortunate enough to visit some of the places featured in this DLC. I can wholeheartedly attest that the developers have done an outstanding job capturing the essence and appearance of these locations." - SWE_Beforewefall.

"The Western Balkans is an amazing DLC. The development team has once again managed to surpass themselves. Each of the eight countries has its own atmosphere and captures its unique character, as it is in real life. Special attention should be given to the stunning detail of the roads and, especially, the cities. The capital of Albania will linger in my heart for a long time, and I will return there again and again. The coastal cities will instantly immerse you in an atmosphere of relaxation and leisure. For those who enjoy challenging parking, there are a couple of places where you need to demonstrate all your previously accumulated experience. In a word, the Balkans are my love!" - TheAlive55.

"Whether it was the sea views from the highways in Croatia, the winding roads in Montenegro or exploring cities like Tirana and Sarajevo, there was always something to look at. I really enjoyed exploring the various secret roads, where in many places it was a real challenge to drive with a semi-trailer. My absolute favourite location is the road to the Crno Drvo warehouse - north of Nikšić in Montenegro. This location may look ordinary on the map, but the drive up here literally took my breath away. A winding road overlooking the mountains, with a river running along the road. With a view like that, it's hard to keep your eyes on the road. I enjoyed every single moment of exploring the new West Balkans DLC. Thank you SCS Software for the opportunity to check out this new content as part of Early Access." - Gamekeepers_cz.

"West Balkans is a DLC you have to get without hesitation! For our community, it was an exciting moment to drive through Serbia, the country of origin of our team. We really enjoyed taking photos on the coloured bridge to Belgrade. You will also find some really challenging hidden roads and some other amazing places between the mountains and the sea. Some of the smaller gas stations are perfect for chilling around and taking some photos for your album. I had fun playing solo and doing some heavy cargo deliveries on challenging roads with two pilot drivers helping me. Thank you SCS Software for including me in the early access. I enjoyed sharing this new content with my community." - SRB_Yolas.

And lastly, we want to express our sheer awe at the collective power of the #BestCommunityEver. To celebrate the DLC release, we initiated a World of Trucks event with a community goal of driving 300,000,000 kilometres while delivering cargo to or from any city in the West Balkans and/or Road to the Black Sea DLC. Astonishingly, you've surpassed this goal in less than two weeks. Kudos! Just a gentle reminder, you still have until December 19th at 23:59 UTC to claim your personal rewards, detailed in the dedicated blog post.

In conclusion, we want to reiterate our gratitude for the overall feedback and extend a humble bow before the monumental support. Our developers pour their passion into game design, and witnessing it resonate through such incredible feedback is truly heartening. Thank you all immensely!

It has been almost two weeks now since the first element of our crew bound for Canada returned back to our offices in Prague. After we interviewed them internally about their trip, we thought it may be interesting to let you know what they got up to! We hope this will be a nice article providing you with more proof that our community is really the #BestCommunityEver!

Our trip to North America had multiple purposes. First of all, we were honored to be invited to participate at the Daimler Truck North America booth at one of the largest Canadian truck shows, the famous Truck World expo. It was a great pleasure for us to be able to have our small gaming station at the very center of the joint Freightliner Trucks and Western Star Trucks booth. Initially, our plans were to ship one of our 4D Motion Sims there, however, due to multiple logistic issues, mostly caused by heavy congestion in the ports of Hamburg and Montreal, our simulator never made it to the destination in time for the expo.

Our crew found a quick workaround to the problem, which they immediately executed by building a gaming station there from products readily available at local stores. On the shopping list was a gaming PC, a chair, a wheel stand with pedals, a big flat screen, and voila - an improvised gaming station was made. 

Not as fancy as our motion sim, but it still did the trick. Local visitors at the event were happy to be able to play our game, and our friends from Daimler Truck North America were satisfied with the result. What a save! A massive thanks to everyone from both the Western Star Trucks and Freightliner Trucks teams who helped us with all these unexpected issues, and who made our crew feel welcome. It was great to hear from the truck manufacturer representatives how much they love the ATS community! Check their messages for you here and here. BTW, we are already working on some new content for you together with DTNA, so stay tuned!

During the opening days of the show, we were lucky enough to meet with quite a lot of fans too. We enjoyed every minute of our long chats and deep discussion about pretty much everything with you, thanks for taking the time to stop by the booth!

However, meeting with the game fans was not the only reason for our presence at this exhibition. Our Industry Partnerships Manager Oscar was with us, too, and that means he was bouncing around, shaking hands, and having promising meetings with representatives from multiple truck OEMs. This may or may not bring some new content for our games in the future. No spoilers for now though!

The other big reason for our trip to Canada was related to our game on a deeper level. We've been lucky enough to get in touch with two amazing guys from our #BestCommunityEver, Daniel and Mark, who helped us by getting three different trucks with different engines, trailers, and mileage so our SFX guys could record truck sounds with them. Our friends really went the extra mile to help us make our games more realistic and we are very grateful and honored to have done these sound recording sessions with them. Mark, Dan, if you're reading this - thank you so much!

Both guys have a great life story too. It turns out that they found and developed their passion and love for trucking through our games! They went on to become professional truck drivers and even owner-operators (a trucker taking on jobs with their own truck) for many years now. It was really cool hanging out with them, chatting about the profession in general and how tough a truck driver's life can be. They provided us with a lot of insights about the automotive industry, trucking, road network, and traffic rules in not just Canada, but in the US as well, and we are going to pass all this along with contacts to them to our other departments for sure! We have prepared a short video for you all and you can check it out and hit the like on it below!

No matter the issues we had to deal with during our trip to Canada, we can say that all the reasons for our stay there, our presence at Truck World, our sound recording sessions, and our licensing talks were a big success and that we had a great time as well. All this would not have been possible without our great, awesome community! We really love you all!

If you're watching our social media channels closely, then you probably know a couple of guys from our crew actually haven't come back to Prague with us - they keep on going across the US. We'll be probably covering their journey here later. They still have some more tasks to do, meetings to attend, and ambient and truck sounds to record around a few places throughout the US. We wish them luck that everything goes smoothly and that they'll return back home safe and sound, with a lot of reference material gathered!
