Thanks mate a perfect way to chill and end my day here with some good ole ATS action! Good to see the Ai traffic hasn't changed ha ha. Well done on finishing the achievement.
Heard the sirens at the start and thought you were going to get a ticket before you even moved. Great name for a town, Magnolia, wonder if we have one here. Well done on the challenge. Many thanks
Yeah, they've picked up the ambient noise element over the past year. You hear all sorts of random things in the background now and then. Really gives the game a nice audio feel. And glad to have completed the challenge, no to new things! :)
Another great video. I watched the last one whilst riding a bullet train from Tokyo to Nagoya. This time I'm in Dubai. During my stay in Tokyo, I did bump into Godzilla, in Ginza. He sends his regards 😂
@@samcattell1150 Very nice! Sounds like a great trip and the yen is so low right now that it's a great time to visit! Glad you had fun, and safe travels home. :)
Mack Anthem Black Edition came out with V1.51. Mack Pinnacle came out 3 weeks ago (I think it also is available in a Black Edition) I don’t have a preference.
Kansas and Arkansas have two different derivativations from two different languages. Arkansas is a French translation of an Algonquin name for the Quapaw people and Kansas comes from a Sioux name for the Kansa tribe.
Wow, those are totally different directions, not at all related. Interesting, I would have just assumed they came from the same origin. Thanks for checking that! :)
You are thinking of Steel Magnolia the movie, filmed in LA and not about Arkansas. I'm behind on the challenge because I'm waiting on some thermal paste to reset my processor to see if that fixes the problem. I got some new fans as well, hoping that is the issue as I really don't have the $400 + to upgrade my graphics right now. 1.52 not beta yet but expecting it soon, drivers school is tied in so not sure how long that will take to finish. Long red and green lights are mostly unnecessary as it's been fixed in game. Most of them have obsolete on them anymore. Achievments include logs and wood shavings, no recreational vehicles but there is one for 5 deliveries to Hot Springs. Nice finish... blessings
Ah, thanks! I actually Googled Magnolia, Arkansas after this and didn't see anything particularly noteworthy come up. That movie must be why it's in my head. Thanks! Thanks for the other info as well. I'm going to disable the mod for light times, I feel like it's way too long with it active. And yeah, with the achievements listed in the game for 1.52, I can't imagine it'll be that long of a wait. So perhaps it makes the most sense to just drive around in the main saves until 1.52 gets released. I can work on some achievements in Europe and America. :)
I had cab damage again on the parking for the previous episode. This will forever be like one of those tainted records in sports. Time to break out the asterisk! 10* perfect deliveries. :)
That first swift trailer you were taking is not programmed in the game correctly looks like, cause they stick out about 2 inches on each side, that tarpping system is bolted to the outside of the rub rails, I pull that type of trailer, the one you got is a step deck I pull a flatbed version of that, besides loosing some side vision with that type of trailer you also have to be careful because anything too sharp can cut or puncture that in no time, they are made from canvas and covered in rubber. And the name of that type of trailer is called a conestoga trailer. If you google it you will see that the tarpping system rolls back and forth on wheels so the trailer can be loaded from the back like a dryvan or the sides like a flatbed.
Thanks for all the information, and the name in particular makes a lot of sense. I think I'm going to make a note of this and share it out next time we get a trailer like that. Regarding potential damage, it's a good thing that Zilla Trucking has a 100% perfect delivery rating. Never in our company's history has cargo suffered any damage. ;)
Only movie reference that I can think of involving Magnolia's is Steel Magnolias. But I've only heard of the film, and haven't seen it - so no idea if it's relevant!
8:59 by my rules and for the fact it was cab damage not trailer this means it is in fact my rules you get this: TEN PERFECT DELIVERIES COMPLETE! However you can only change my mind by taking detours like a proper trucker. If you do that for the next 5 accidents on American truck simulator I’ll concede to your rules. Think as it as an extra challenge
@@ZillaBlitzPC Here's a crazy challenge for europe truck simulator two. when the Greek DLC comes out. start in Algeciras, Spain and travel clockwise around the entire map. if there is a city that is on the outer edge with only one way to get to it you have to visit that city. From Calias, France take the train to dover, and drive around UK clockwise all the way back to dover but take a ferry this time. then continue to denmark but you are forbidden to take any ferries and you can't cross the orsesound Bridge. pass through poland, Kalliningard and stay on the outer edge. you will pass through the same cities. And if there is a detour you must take it no mater what. but if you enter any city in the inside part the challenge is a failure. it is an automatic failure if you don't take the detours. However you can restart the challenge if you cross two borders.
Not sure if this was mentioned in other comments but I’m pretty sure only the cargo needs to be undamaged to get a perfect delivery. You can damage the trailer. I may be mistaken but I’ve got quite a few achievements and you only need to worry about damaging the cargo. Wreck up the cab and the trailer all you want lol
Yes, I forget whether it's this episode or the previous one, but I was talking about the game's definition of a perfect delivery and trying to decide what my standards will be. :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC just off the cuff I would propose: no fines, no cargo damage, on time, truck damage 3% or less and trailer damage 2% or less. That way some dings and rough road bangups are allowed. I’ll admit that my favorite moments are when you get caught speeding or ding another vehicle and get a fine. “Awwwwwwww.” lol. Cheers!
I downloaded a Harley Davidson truck mod last night with Trucky Mods and activated it in my game. Now I just have to figure out how to be able to own it in the game. :)
Updating my mod lists now. Of note, the other Russian mods that weren't updated last time, Volga Map and SRMap, are both now updated. Also, some of the oldest areas of RusMap are being reworked by a mod called Project Russia. Right now they've reworked Moscow and the surrounding areas. I'll be adding that to my recommended ETS2 list for you.
Cool, thanks! Do you think 1.52 is coming out soon? Trying to decide whether to update all the mods and make some tutorials or wait for 1.52 and hit it hard then.
@@ZillaBlitzPC Hm... it's tough to say. My guess is late November for 1.52. Updating the mods honestly doesn't take THAT long if you do it on a weekend, but making tutorials would add time to it for sure. What kind of tutorials are you planning?
The original map installation tutorials I did for 1.49 are getting kind of old and things have changed enough that I was thinking to update them to new versions. So Mexico/C2C/Caribbean. Also thinking ProMods Canada and ProMods Europe.
