ATS | Sleep Deprivation | American Truck Simulator Career | Episode 38 - Christmas Event
So funny when you got the dozing and then woke up and was going straight toward a pole LOL
Yeah, I still don't know how I missed that pole. :)
I was so hoping that you would back down the on ramp to get to that sleep spot. Always entertaining stuff Zilla.
Ha! That would have been a BOLD move. Maybe next time, though. I kind of want to try it now. :)
I had that dozing a couple of times early in my ETS2 driving career, pretty scary aren't they! Not sure I ever got THAT far over the sleep meter though haha!!
Yeah, I've never had a stretch of road where there just wasn't a way to get sleep, and it didn't help that we were pretty tired before starting. A streak of weak choices and ... boom, almost dead! :)
I was someplace in Colorado yesterday and couldn't find a rest or fuel. When I finally did find both, I took 218 gallons (out of 240 gallon tanks) and I was WAY in the red on rest. That's the closest to being stranded as I have come.
Yeah, it pays to prepare in this state! There are some service gaps that can really mess you up. Running out of gas really isn't a big deal, but that sleep one can really get you. :)
You got so lucky in the dozing!!!!! I always get those when there is a turn coming! no fair!
Yes, I have no idea how we didn't totally crash in this episode. I agree, that was nuts lucky! :)
I have dozed off like that before. Not in a truck, just my car. Definitely puts the fear of God into you. Luckily I was on a long, straight, unoccupied country road when it happened.
Yeah, I hear you. I've gotten extremely sleepy driving a couple of times and caught myself nodding like that. It's so scary when it happens. :)
We still haven't had any snow here yet! :( Yeah not much of a view hah. Didn't see the cycling thing coming :O Overtired driver, in snow, on mountains, satnav in Turkish. Yeah man sounds safe and responsible :p Least if you crash you can sleep without worrying where you are. Got a tad precarious there!! He's turning his cab into a lowrider by the looks of it.
We had things under total control, and I am a model of driver safety. :) (We were really lucky to not total the truck.)
@@ZillaBlitz aye it's their fault for being on the road with you. Indeed :S
The "dozing" messages are a new one on me! I've done deliveries with my sleep meter in the red, but I've never gone so long as to have those messages pop up. How wild, now I kind of want to do a sleep deprivation run just to get them.
Yeah, I think they started after the 3rd sleep fine. So apparently you have to go 3 hours beyond the limit to start getting them. I don't know why, but I really want to try to do a 24-hour drive now and see if it's even possible. :) I was thinking that perhaps the "dozing" episodes happen at set intervals, in which case you could anticipate them and stop on the road before they happen? But I'm pretty sure I had zero control over the truck once I was dozing. The truck just keeps going at whatever speed and direction you had it set at.
Been there and done this in Europe as well. Not fun but I learned to check my routes for rest stops before departing.
It's interesting because I've never felt the need to really check routes. There always seems to be a sleeping spot somewhere. This is the first time where there was such a long section with nothing. And even worse, the two sleeping spots that showed up on the map were only accessible from the other side of the highway! They fooled me. Garg! :)
Yeah that dozing thing has been there for as long as I have been playing ATS/ETS (Though not noticed the wording before think it used to just say zzzz) Many times I have driven overtired and the screen blacks out and even had it black out for awhile once lol which well lead to shall we say aggressive counter manoeuvres to get back on track like you almost had 😂
Ha! Yeah, I still don't know how our truck didn't end up in some ravine in the Rocky Mountains. :)
Another half an hour on the journey night have proved interesting, the blank screen is certainly scary mode.
Yeah, I think we were pretty lucky to make it through that. I wonder if the dozing sessions keep getting longer and longer? They felt kind of random in duration.
the IKE/Johnson tunnel is the road with the steepest incline (* believe) in the US. People will test truck's towing capacities (search UA-cam for IKE challenege) because of the steepness. I've seen Ford F-150 get 7 MPG on that thing.
Wow, that makes me want to go drive it! Big test for a truck I'm sure. :)
To get snow raise your rain chances in-game settings. That dozing is crazy, got stuck myself and thought I was going to die...lol
Thanks Nerdy! Yes, I've bumped up the precipitation setting a couple of times now, but it was quite low when I first looked at it. I think I'll bump it up a bit more for the next episode. And we were really lucky on the dozing. I think it would have been super easy to total the truck, or flip it over, or something else quite bad. :)
That was tense....I was sure you were going to end up upside down in a ditch.
I was in total control. No need for panic. ;)
I bet none of the other ATS channels are as good at getting huge fines.
Yes! I have a special talent! :)
You would think having a sleeper cab, you could pull over anywhere and sleep. It seems having a sleeper cab has no advantage over a day cab in this sim.
It is a bit odd, isn't it? From a gameplay perspective, I don't mind, but it can be a bit unusual to see lots of places that would work fine for a quick 1-hour nap and not be able to use them. That's the thing I'd like to see: variable sleep durations. :)
If you don't like the sleep function, you can go in the options under gameplay and turn of the fatigue simulation.
Thanks, Joshua! As much as I sometimes grumble about fines and sleep, etc., I enjoy the challenge they provide. :)
@@ZillaBlitz Thank you for reading my comment and replying.
@@ostrichponk6844 For sure, Joshua, thanks for stopping in. :)
This was indeed the strangest drive you ever did but also one of the most entertaining ones 🤣 So, what have you learned from this experience, Zilla?
I thought that was pretty crazy as well. That's a great question about life lessons. I think that this has really taught me that we can pretty much just stay up all the time without sleeping and things will still be okay.
@@ZillaBlitz Yes, that‘s what I thought. And definitely the lesson the game wanted to teach!
when I found out what happnd I was driving this load of Logs though This very windy two lane road in Washington after the forest machinery DLC came out? anyhow, Found out you can really trash your cab that way. Ended up having to get towed to a garage and lost the delivery. Got tons of fine, very bad idea. Good Idea when you get your load, look at your mission thign (F6) and look at how long you hve to deliver, adn how long to rest. Then switch to map and drop a pin in a rest area before you hit the limit.
Maybe should be a mod where you can sleep on side of the road? or is that I llega IRL?
Yes, I was really surprised that we didn't end up on the side of the road upside down. And I've started checking sleeping and sleeping spots before deliveries now. This could have easily ended much worse. :)
Don't remember if you have done the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado it's a good drive. Got a question for you What kind of monitor are you using?Great video fun to watch. Be safe driver.
Is that the Route 550 drive? I think it's a special achievement in the game right? And if I'm not mistaken, we are right near it now. It's just south of where we ended up. That might be a fun next episode. Especially if we could finally get a snow storm. :) I'm using a couple of Dell monitors at the moment, and hope to finally create a "tech set up" video this month, so I'll list and post everything I'm using for this. :)
@@ZillaBlitz I bob tail the it I delivered in Durango and then bob tailed the road and then picked up a load. It was fun ride. I also road the Million Dollar Highway on my motorcycle. I am going to get me a 32 in Dell curve screen this week hoping to get better graphics. Great video really enjoy them. I learned a lot about the game watching you.
Thanks, Don! I'm jealous of that 32" monitor! That'll be very nice indeed. I have 2 27" monitors side by side and really like that too. That motorcycle ride sounds awesome! :)
Hi I'm new to ATS. I like it A LOT. Currently I have over $180K just in quick trip earnings. No loans lol. I was wondering what file do you use for the navigation voices. Also how do you make your main map look so detailed?
This was super fun to watch I just discovered your series.. I plan to watch all 80+ Subscribed!
Sounds like you're off to a great start, most excellent! And I'm glad you like the videos, enjoy the journey both in the game in on the channel. :)
@Zilla Blitz do you have to go searching for dealerships to open them? I saw a Volvo dealership in one town I was driving to but because it was on a little side street it didn't count it for me 😕
Yes, you have to get close enough to unlock them, which sometimes means driving off your main route to do so. It's a good idea to unlock at least one of each type of truck in the beginning, but there's no rush, really. As long as you unlock the dealer of the truck you'd like to buy, you should be good. :)
@Zilla Blitz hmm the problem is what if after doing some quicktrips you might rethink your truck choice but there's no dealership? Would I have to open a whole new profile for it?
No, you just find the dealership for that truck. :)
Hi zilla how are you
Good good, Ateeq! I hope all is well with you. :)
Good thanks
