+KyleKennedyRH Thanks Kyle, I get enjoyment from trying to drive correctly and slowing down for corners etc. I am learning this 18 speed but I am getting better with it.
I love this Night Rainy Setting with a Dark Cab! Reminds me of when my Brother and I always drove across the Counties at Night! Great Times! So no need to apologize about the setting I personally love it!
Started watchin' this series a few days ago and enjoying it very much. I was watchin' episode 8 and wondering if there would an episode 9. Glad there is, you certainly know your stuff and you're easy to listen to. Hopefully this series continues for a while. I see other people mentioning other series that you do that I might have to check out. Cheers!
Ahhhhhh I haven't finished watching this video! I fell asleep watching it last night when I got out of work, you're videos are awesome and I watched every single one of them! I was just really tired. You're videos are not boring Jeff. They never are!
As you drove through Ely I was looking for the Nevada Northern Railway, didn't see it, but I did see a billboard for the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, that's a little ways away. Great video too.
being a trucker, I have seen cars just stop for no reason. Jeff we are taught to use the S.M.I.T.H system. Though it works for us, the rest of the drivers could give two shits who's lifes are affected when they are in a hurry. Good to see you trying to follow all the rules you know and keep up the good work.
I agree with you that my favorite car is definitely an old Challenger. My top 3 would be that, a new Nissan GTR, and a tank, because who wouldn't want a tank?
Yeah what's so cool is my grandparents live like five minutes from Daytona superspeedway so I could stand on their front porch and listen to the cars race even though I live in Georgia but we decided to take a trip down to Florida for a weekend
I heard about the SNL performance, never been a fan of his either. However, I heard a local pastor prayed for everyone at the end of the show which is pretty cool.
I've got a 1986 Chevy Z28. I bought it used, and the last owner put IROC-Z decals on it. I think it still looks good. It's black with matte old rims a Blackout window grates.
hey jeff by far favorite youtuber love your vids make my day i want to be a pilot when older so in that case could you make an x-plane 10 vid soon plz thanks jeff keep doing what your doing!
hey Jeff you don't have letters on your signs. I have a fix for it. I'm assuming you are using nvidia inspector and the AA messes up the letters but I fixed it
Yup. Was driving it earlier today all u got to is launch steam let the game update and boom w900 added to ur game all u gotta do is go to kentworth and buy it
Not sure how the game mechanics are for shifting but on an 18 speed you can split the shifts as needed, like 5L-5H-6L-6H-7L-7H-8L-8H. This is more for heavy loads or steep grades.
+Jeff Favignano We have the same taste in cars.. My dad had a '75 Coupe Deville.... Brown with the white vinyl half roof. They actually brought me home from the hospital in it. Kept it in the family for a very long time.
Love the video. You know I love the xl Classic. Can't wait to see a new Firewatch video. Good luck with the new nascar iracing. I'm going to miss the Daytona 500 this year. Anyway keep up the awesome videos. Keep on truckin brother
+Brenton Wilde depends on the exact conditions and if you have it perfectly aligned with the trailer you can get away with it. However the CDL book I read said that it can cause the wheels to lock up on a slippery surface. I wouldn't want that.
Hey Jeff, I have a question. I was an avid fan of the 18 Wheels of Steel games, especially the Extreme Trucker series. With that, is this game worth the $20.00? Does it surpass those games, also from SCS?
+Anthony Dryden This game is pretty much everything you could of hoped for with an updated version of the 18WOS series. However with bigger maps and more detail comes the fact that it will take much longer to make USA in it's entirety. Let's be honest when we say that 18WOS didn't have the best detail and the USA was a crammed mess. Of course this is because it was so old. I think 20 dollars is perfectly worth it especially since you get CA,NV and soon to be AZ for free with the base game. I don't mind paying for states as they come due to the amount of work that goes into making each state. There are so many little details that are truly astounding and each town has their own feel (sometimes). The game may have it's bugs with the short on ramps and ridiculous police however SCS is a great company that seems to work well with what the community wants.
Highly doubt you'll get around to answering these being a busy guy and all (and having to sift through probably 1,000s of comments a day) but I"ve got a few questions myself about ATS. 1. Does ATS require a high-spec PC to run? I currently only have a Toshiba laptop but it can run GTA IV no problem, so do you think it would work for me? 2. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not needed and 10 being absolutely necessary) how necessary is a racing wheel in order to play this game, or enjoy it to its full potential? I REALLY like this game, but I don't think I've got $200.00+ to go throwing into a racing wheel at the moment. Do you think a keyboard would still allow me to enjoy the game until I get a racing wheel? (Any recommendations for racing wheels would also be greatly appreciated, but I'm looking towards a Logitech G27 since everybody seems to use one.) Thank you for your time to read this (If you actually DO), and keep up the good work man! ~David Zanelli~
+David Zanelli 1. No you don't need a crazy pc but the better pc the better graphics you are going to get. You have advanced settings as well as simple in the game. It will usually try to set it according to your PC from the get go. 2. I would say a solid 8 as it really brings the feeling of driving, I know wheels can be expensive but people with controllers (X360, etc) have really enjoyed the game with those. The G27 is no longer made and has sky rocketed in price, the G29 has replaced it but is a hefty 400 bucks. I would cruise the steam discussions on what wheels work with ATS as I have no clue on their compatibility. I highly recommend one though later down the road.
+Jeff Favignano Alrighty. Thanks man! While its on my mind, do you think you're ever gonna do more LSFD gameplay on GTA? I always enjoy watching people play that seeing as I'm a jr. at my local company and can actually relate to it a bit.
I hope LSPDFR is coming out soon! Tried AST's demo today. Kinda disappointing (surprisingly it did rain...), but Jeff's commentary makes it funner than actually playing it.
+ashwin koshti just go ahead and load it, ATS is just telling you that it MAY not work correctly without it. I have never had an issue with it though. Just load your autosave and all should be well. Once you disable a mod you can go back out after closing the game and remove it form your mod folder.
You generally shift LL, LH, 1L, 1H, and so on. unless it's a light load you load you wouldn't do all high. You've got range and a splitter. Would be worth you tubing it, it's rather interesting. As for the RTO transmission, that's just the model of Eaton Fuller transmission. Should just be labeled Eaton Fuller, but they did the model number.
+mynameisray ah thanks for clarification! I wish the transmissions behaved a little more realistic in the game but sometimes they have extremely short ratios when they shouldn't.
+Pingu it is refreshing to see an old beauty like that in game but it fits in with the mold of the other two scs trucks. You get the sounds they give you etc. I like modded trucks and the options with engines and transmissions. I will get one for my ATS MP and perhaps my single player eventually down the road. I know other tubers will be showing it off so I am not in any hurry to drive it. If I want a good W900 there is a fantastic mod of one.
+jeff favignano i don't know how the game works as I've not played but here is a tid bit of possible helpful info..you can google this but your rtfo those numbers that follow actually sync up ţo the rtfo which based off of model number tells you if it is a high torque or low torque trans and basically everything in reference to what transmission you have but lets go typical. your normal (i.e. 99%) of your 13 speeds will shift in sequence like so (lo,2,3,4,5,6lo,6hi,7lo,7hi,8lo,8hi,9lo,9hi) which reads is as (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,and finally 13th) a 18 speed is as follows (1lo,1hi,2lo,2hi,3lo,3hi,4lo,4hi,5lo,5hi,6lo,6hi,7lo,7hi,8lo,8hi,9lo,9hi) and again 1-18 driving a real truck we dont split all gears only time we do is when we need them to keep the r's matched up with the speed and not under powering it. dunno how the game is but figured id throw that all in there maybe it helps ya learn more of the trucks/industry..great episode and congrats on your billboard
I love Mondays because that means Jeff is back for the week!
+Scemex ME too man!
^
| not love super love Mondays
Just finished #8! rollin' onto #9! Love the series Jeff, Keep it up!
+Landen Anderson Thanks Landen
You don't really go to notice how realistic Jeff plays until you watch someone else play. Much appreciated and keep it up :)
+KyleKennedyRH I agree. Recent convert from Squirrels channel.
+KyleKennedyRH Thanks Kyle, I get enjoyment from trying to drive correctly and slowing down for corners etc. I am learning this 18 speed but I am getting better with it.
+Keith Brettell It is no competition as we all have our own ways of playing games, I enjoy Squirrels content as well :)
I love this Night Rainy Setting with a Dark Cab! Reminds me of when my Brother and I always drove across the Counties at Night! Great Times! So no need to apologize about the setting I personally love it!
8:21 greatest save you will ever see Jeff do that isn't NASCAR/racing related lol
+Adam Bernard haha definitely!
A mod for listening to some CB radio banter would be good.
There is a music channel that you can get that has it. I forget where though :/
I like the dark runs in this game Jeff no apology needed
+PC_GAMES thanks man
The turbo whistle of that truck is simply orgasmic. Not annoying at all.
Hi Jeff! hope you're having an awesome evening!
Started watchin' this series a few days ago and enjoying it very much. I was watchin' episode 8 and wondering if there would an episode 9. Glad there is, you certainly know your stuff and you're easy to listen to. Hopefully this series continues for a while.

Jeff I've been watching since LCPDFR 57 and just couldn't get enough. Love these videos and love your police videos, so much realism. Keep it up dude
+MrDrNo1 thanks man I appreciate you sticking around!
being a trucker, I have seen cars just stop for no reason. Jeff we are taught to use the S.M.I.T.H system.

+geicomatt thanks Matt
Great video Jeff! I can't wait for the iRacing to come back!
I been there Jeff, The both of them where amazing.
My grandpa drives a truck just like that, but the one with the round hood (FL70 I think) Great video Jeff.
When you said "Hope your week is off to a good start" this video made it start off great. When you get angry at the AI it's hilarious to me😂😂
+Cameronb28 awesome to hear man haha yeah the AI can be a bit "special"
So glad to have an SCS modeled W900 in the game. One of my favourite trucks.
***** Of course, because it's new.
Good save on that almost accident about to happen lol
I agree with you that my favorite car is definitely an old Challenger. My top 3 would be that, a new Nissan GTR, and a tank, because who wouldn't want a tank?
I read your comment with Joe's voice. It was extremely painful xD
+J Gripen lol
Haha everyone likes tanks lol
hey Jeff, it was cool conveying with you on American truck simulator, hopefully I can convoy with u again in the future BTW I was action7154
+Jeff favignano
+Action 7154 very cool man it was a lot of fun
Your really good at super-speedways Jeff. You can work the side draft like nothing. Excited to watch the Iracing race
+Walker 988 thanks Walker!
Another great episode. Beautiful drive. Nice and easy drop off. 👍
Watching this on a CRT TV is so nice with the deep pure colors

+SpeedOffLouie yes, it's in que

+Sports Era good to know
+Sports Era wtf?
+Jeff Favignano (greatest of all time)
I was watching some old videos from like 2 or 3 years ago and I was wondering what happened to avs
It was great to see you in the Abrams stream tonight Jeff, good luck to all you guys on Wednesday! -GD
+Cody Douglas thanks Cody
Love that the Mustangs still drive with the tops down in the rain.
Yeah what's so cool is my grandparents live like five minutes from Daytona superspeedway so I could stand on their front porch and listen to the cars race even though I live in Georgia but we decided to take a trip down to Florida for a weekend
+Austin Jake oh wow that is awesome
Great video as always Jeff! Keep up the great work!
Jeff you got to do more of these kind of video's! great job man.
Congrats on 250K subs Jeff!
So close to 250,000 subs! Early congrats! c:
I heard about the SNL performance, never been a fan of his either. However, I heard a local pastor prayed for everyone at the end of the show which is pretty cool.
I've got a 1986 Chevy Z28. I bought it used, and the last owner put IROC-Z decals on it. I think it still looks good. It's black with matte old rims a Blackout window grates.
hey jeff by far favorite youtuber love your vids make my day i want to be a pilot when older so in that case could you make an x-plane 10 vid soon plz thanks jeff keep doing what your doing!
Which one of the Mod links is Jeff using for the truck?
Keep doing what you do, because it's amazing.
+Kyron Williams thanks Kyron
Jeff... I LOVE that XL your driving! It's SO cool! Btw I just downloaded it! Can't WAIT to play with it! :D
I'm going down to Kentucky to see the eclipse later this month, I hope that you enjoy it as we do
me 2 i love it
am sure that he made amazin things 😉😉
well done jeff
Going to Florida from PA. Not looking forward to the drive.. But the race is gonna be worth it.
+Austin Gordon hell yeah
@jeff favignano you can use the jake brake in the rain it doesn't hurt the truck
I love the turbo sounds like a big semi.
Why is there even a school bus out at 2:00 am in a thunderstorm!?!?
Possibly a school activity.
Stolen. Some one owns it as a rv
+Matthew Walsh 🇺🇸
+Matthew Walsh lol
+Matthew Walsh The bad this is there are 4 of those around where I live.

+mrfirewolf hahaha
Jeff when will you post more code zero patrols. I really enjoy them.
The W900 that you saw before you tried turning around was actually a day cab version of it. xD
hey Jeff you don't have letters on your signs. I have a fix for it. I'm assuming you are using nvidia inspector and the AA messes up the letters but I fixed it
Nice truck jeff
In the custom config, does the Freightliner have a bullbar option?
+Ryan Mr 1% yes I am saving money for further mods
Jeff when are they comeing out with the w900 and if you dont know then plz do a moding vid cuz iv tried to get mods but if dont work for me
w900 was released today from scs
+XxBraslayerxX really
Yup. Was driving it earlier today all u got to is launch steam let the game update and boom w900 added to ur game all u gotta do is go to kentworth and buy it
+XxBraslayerxX yeeeesssss
+Mr.Raccoon only sad part is it cost $118,000 for the day cab version
what does yield mean?
in australia we have give way signs
It's the same thing. Yield to oncoming traffic, give way to oncoming traffic.
Not sure how the game mechanics are for shifting but on an 18 speed you can split the shifts as needed, like 5L-5H-6L-6H-7L-7H-8L-8H. This is more for heavy loads or steep grades.
I ordered the game 2 days ago I'll soon be playing keep the videos coming my man
Still seem to keep me interested after all of this time! Keep up the awesome work, Jeff! =)
+Hunter Wilkes thanks Hunter glad you like the videos!
love this series keep up the great work
Hi Jeff,split your gears.you can get lo/hi range in every gear.I use to drive an 18 speed.
What's the difference between L and H gears?
great video jeff,oh i can't wait until the daytona 500 race i'm so pumped up,whoooooooo!!!!
+Jeff Favignano We have the same taste in cars.. My dad had a '75 Coupe Deville.... Brown with the white vinyl half roof. They actually brought me home from the hospital in it. Kept it in the family for a very long time.
+jjohn7884 oh wow, very nice cars
Great video man I like ATS a lot good engine choice it hits the spot lol
Loving ATS plz do more and good work on all of them
Love the video. You know I love the xl Classic. Can't wait to see a new Firewatch video. Good luck with the new nascar iracing. I'm going to miss the Daytona 500 this year. Anyway keep up the awesome videos. Keep on truckin brother
Hey Jeff are you going to do a review or something of the Kenworth W900?
I thought it was pretty cool to see that billboard as well may take out the pack though for the newer billboard mod i just saw released
Hey Jeff. Why can't you use the jakes in the rain?
+Brenton Wilde depends on the exact conditions and if you have it perfectly aligned with the trailer you can get away with it. However the CDL book I read said that it can cause the wheels to lock up on a slippery surface. I wouldn't want that.
+Jeff Favignano makes sense. Here i am just using the jakes not knowing any different lol

drinking game, take a shot every time Jeff says "very cool stuff"
+Callsign Vapor oh noes!
15:10 If that cop was 2 seconds slower you would've gotten a ticket for 55 MPH in a 30 right there! Sneaky speed zones.
+Luke I know!
More ats Jeff. Very nice video I enjoyed it
Will you record it to your youtube channel?
oh
is there any way to get rid of the engine whisle sound I hate it?
It's the turbo whistle of the engine. I don't think trucks could pull loads without that?
Are more states coming out
Dude I can't wait for that eclipse At SIUC they are making preparations already!
+Blake Karas that is fantastic!

+Jeff Favignano Alright. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Keep up the good work man, take care!
11:23 Ah, the typical self-absorbed driver who passes at night in a no-passing zone.
awesome !! American truck simulator !!! @jeff favignano you are awesome dude ! :)
Awesome Video Jeff.
Nice save at 8:30 lol. That's what I call Michel Andretting it.
+Ethan Williams haha
and wow! what a close call!
great job jeff
24:26 Pilot station logo. I don't know if I just noticed it NOW but that is a real company and logo, not a parody. Yay!
+MJRookieForge yes it is part of a mod
Jeff Favignano Okay, awesome... Gosh so many mods I have to get from your list x.x Thanks, Jeff!
I hope LSPDFR is coming out soon!
Tried AST's demo today. Kinda disappointing (surprisingly it did rain...), but Jeff's commentary makes it funner than actually playing it.
+Make America Sandwiches Again It's coming out tonight.
DanielR I know. That's why I said soon, because sometimes they aren't out till midnight.
are u gonna get a t800 kennworth
Hey Jeff, do you truck with fatigue simulation on?
he doesn't
he runs on crack like Polecat
+Ben Crouch lol! Seems legit?
+MedicinalMike yeah I have found it troublesome.
#AskJeffAts
Jeff i was wondering if you would drive in to Oregon and Washington if those dlcs come out
Are u gonna upload a new lspdfr video tonight?
+David Corpuz yes
Your description of "talentless ass clown" is so accurate! I'm going to start using that, lol.
Nice vid Jeff....can u help me out wid one thing, i wanted to know to to disable a mod and still continue coz wen i do it, it says mod missing

love your videos keep up the good work and I would love to see more ats
You live in St.Luis do you live by the arch???
they have been talking about making a truck simulation and they bringing some sort of truck simulator out around about 2018
+jeff favignano
i don't know how the game works as I've not played but here is a tid bit of possible helpful info..you can google this but your rtfo those numbers that follow actually sync up ţo the rtfo which based off of model number tells you if it is a high torque or low torque trans and basically everything in reference to what transmission you have but lets go typical. your normal (i.e. 99%) of your 13 speeds will shift in sequence like so (lo,2,3,4,5,6lo,6hi,7lo,7hi,8lo,8hi,9lo,9hi) which reads is as (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,and finally 13th)
a 18 speed is as follows
(1lo,1hi,2lo,2hi,3lo,3hi,4lo,4hi,5lo,5hi,6lo,6hi,7lo,7hi,8lo,8hi,9lo,9hi)

+Patrick robinson very interesting, I will have to try that combo out. Thanks for the feedback!
+Jeff Favignano np..keep the videos coming good work
What state do you live in jeff? I'm in Illinois
+Soviet King1 He lives just outside of St. Louis, Missouri.
Its ok to use a jake in the rain it shouldnt hurt it just as long as you dont have straight pipes. Otherwise upyour ok to use it.
