Ever felt that ATS wasn't boring enough? Wish you could go back to the good old days of Desert Bus?



Well worry no more! Introducing Desert Truck 1.0, drive in 1:1 scale the 580km (360 mile) route through the desert from Tucson to Las Vegas. Wonder at the vast emptiness of Arizona and Nevada on your ~5.5 hour (real time) journey along a totally flat and pretty much straight road with no junctions or scenery. Unlike Desert Bus, your truck handles well, but the road itself has many slight turns requiring constant adjustments on the steering - so don't worry cruise control won't be saving you much pain.



Start in Tucson and head north west for hours on end to reach Las Vegas and realise you will never get that time back.



Is there anything out there in this vast map? Could there be any hidden easter eggs? Probably not but you'll have to drive the whole route to find out!



(New Lighting in 1.40)

Requires DLC: Oregon, Washington, Idaho. Compatible with ATS 1.39/1.40

Download for 1.40 [4.6MB]

Download for 1.39 [4.6MB]

(Note the map is standalone, so you will need to make a new profile, and select "desert.mbd" as the playing module)

DISCLAIMER: I cannot be held liable for any extreme boredom or discomfort from playing this map. There are a few bugs and the cities are lazyily built at best. These things won't be fixed in future.

Man, you are crazy!

The download link doesn't work. It just 403's.

Whoops, the link should be working now.

I have beaten the map in exactly 4 hours and 44 Minutes (with maybe a few crashes and 51 engine malfunctions, dont mind that)



And in my video i have challenged the map maker to do the same map again, but in ETS 2 and in the middle of siberia, so instead of desert just forest.

Nice work, and an entertaining video to!

I like the idea of an ETS2 long/boring road in Siberia. When I get 5 spare hours I might make one

I would appreciate it if you could link either here (https://www.promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=37025) or the SCS forums (https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=292983) in your video description, instead of that mod reupload site.

Thanks

oh boy cant wait for that adventure.

And yeah i changed the description, these links are much better.

I'm happy to report this map still works in 1.42 if you edit the manifest file.

Old topic and no latest releases. Any chance this still works ?

To see if it works, enable it in your mod manager and load the game. You can edit the manifest file if needed too.
