I miss Kansas

Hey Jeff I’m Kansas City it actually goes into Missouri for a bit. Allows you to drive over the river for a mile or two. Kind of cool to see the entering Missouri sign

I’ve watched you for years, and I just got my cdl about a year ago, and I’m from Wichita. And seeing this literally gave me goosebumps I was so happy!

He always gives us something to watch and never leaves us hanging.

I love all the updates coming to the game! Great video

It’s always cool to see more ATS. I hope you’re doing well Jeff, keep up the great work and have a great day. Take care!

Loving how close they got the airport to look like how it’s laid out in real life! Even the entrance roads and cargo area off to the side are exactly how you see it when you are driving into the airport area!

I live in Wichita so this was so fun to watch, especially since I’ve made this exact drive multiple times, and my mom always would say something when we pass the bazaar cattle pens. That was definitely a weird surreal moment to hear you mention them😂

As a class A driver, I can appreciate the attention to detail in this Sims. The Cascadia Freightliner is one of the trucks I drive. And the sounds of the blinkers, aswell as the blind spot monitoring system is spot on. I definitely turn mine off after a while, tho. Lol

Good video Jeff and your last OCRP was amazing. Thank you for your content.

SCS did the old version of the interchange at I35 and US400. Nice to see Kansas though and how we’re getting more into the Midwest! Kansas is indeed very flat but the Flint Hills (where the cattle pens were) is a very pretty drive. Great video as always, Jeff! I’ll be getting the DLC tomorrow!

you got off easy on the toll. current rate is 35.75 cash 26.60 with the ktag. and fastest trip to Wichita i've ever seen. wish i could get down there in 15 min. and your expression on seeing the wichita airport is the same feeling i got when you pulled into hays.

Definitely love the safety of the trucks with the blind spot monitoring system and adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance system

Looks awesome Jeff ! Cannot wait for this new DLC tomorrow. I play in VR and the immersion is incredible, worth the sacrifice for the not quite so good graphics, saying that the Quest 3 visuals are pretty good. Cheers for another great video, Daz, Leicester UK.

I don’t usually care for ATS since I’m a truck driver myself, but I might have to hop on for the Kansas DLC since it’s my state. Pretty cool to see, I didn’t think we would ever get in the game when I was playing this 5 years ago

Great video! Yeah $21 is about right, full ride from Kansas City to Oklahoma State line is 50 bucks. They modeled that airport perfectly, and where you unloaded those cars is actually the Enterprise shop where they clean and repair all of their rental cars. I’ve towed a lot of rentals in and out of there so it was crazy seeing you drive up to it!

Great video Jeff! Excited for the release so I can get it tomorrow!

SCS is releasing a farm machinery DLC tomorrow as well

Hey Jeff, thanks for the additional preview video for Kansas! The automotive plant you visited in the beginning is known as the Fairfax GM Assembly plant, formerly known as the BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) plant! They have appeared to have modeled the Fairfax industrial district around the GM plant, which is super neat. The fact that those Caliber SUV’s look very similar to Chevy Suburbans is very convenient… lol. Although irl, this plant manufacturers smaller Buick and Cadillac crossovers. It also serves as a hub and distribution lot for Chevy Malibu’s (yes, brand new ones still circulate!)

Amazing video as always i love your American truck Simulator

Love it man! You know I love me some Kansas. But, I cannot wait for missouri either.

omg wichita looks amazing 🥹 love my town

Excellent driving brother!

Great video Jeff! Unfortunately when we cruise over the George Washington Bridge ( NJ and NY crossing )we’re over 100 bucks now for a tractor trailer at the toll booth!

Hey Jeff! Thanks for another great ATS video, yet again! Love ya Jeff!

I enjoy the Volvo's mirror fov an camera handling as well.

Perfect video! I'm looking forward to riding in Kansas too. 👍👍👍

The price is pretty accurate, Kansas goes by axle, lived here all my life, and my company "millennium concepts" is on the east side of the bridge you went under right by the airport. We make airplane parts. Other than distance to travel, it's pretty accurate. Loved it.

I love your posts keep it up

Jeff! When im dropping a trailer in ATS, ill pull up slightly, lower the rear of the truck, and pull out from under it once I know its on the landing gear. I wanted to pass the idea because you do so much like checking the trailer lights and brakes. Thanks for being a legend!

The Kansas Turnpike if you pick it up in Wichita and take it all the way to KC it will cost a passenger vehicle about 15 bucks. So I would imagine since they charge by the axle that it would cost 21 bucks for a tractor trailer.

Nice work I'm waiting for the Kansas DLC to fully release tomorrow I'm loking forward to it.👍

Great video Jeff . Waiting for Kansas

He went through the 435 I35 K10 triangle, and I drove through that yesterday which is not a feeling I get very often as a Kansan ❤

That collision mitigation sounds realistic 😂 I hated that back when I use to drive. The breaks would slam because of bridges

AWESOME VIDEO 😀👍

I started playing a couple days ago. This game is an amazing change on driving sims. Picked up my first truck, the first freightliner and threw some upgrades on it and gonna buy my first trailer soon just gotta take care of the loan for the truck first

It’s pretty cool to see. I live around wichita and I’m working on that very highway putting up wrong way signs, one of our turn around points is the Bazaar cattle pens. This map looks great, damn near exactly how it looks in real life! Definitely not a 1:1 scale but if I saw this video without sound I’d be able to guess where it is.

Love the Cascadia, good looking and nice interior

Good video Jeff. I love your videos and keep up the good work that you do. My dad is a truck driver and when it fully comes out to where you can do mods he works for a company out of Kansas City and it is called ACT/ American Central Transportation and I would love to see a video with that company.

That part of emporia is extremely accurate with the truck stop and rv park.

Hey Jeff hope you're doing well. I'm not sure if you heard of this game but you should check out Truck and Logistics Simulator. It's a game that's been out on PC for awhile now. They just released it on console a few day's ago and our console trucker prayers have been answered. It's great we finally have a good trucking sim on console. You can drive all types of cars, vans and semi combinations. You use all types of different equipment to load the vehicle's with. The game plays flawlessly smooth. The physics are great. There's also 24 player multiplayer which also plays amazing. This game was made by a tiny studio of only 5 devs. The potential for this game is huge. I know how you like to support smaller up and coming games. I really think you'll enjoy this game. Really love your content man 💪🏽.

Welcome virtually to my neck of the woods.

the future for simulation is bright

I like that they replicated the Kansas Turnpike toll plazas here, even though they'll be soon replaced with all electronic tolling

I'm excited for it. I have it in my steam wish list. So Friday I'm getting Ok and Ks.

As a truck driver from Kansas and I drive here everyday, it's amazing at how accurate and great everything looks! They did a fantastic job. I wish Chanute was added with the Ash Grove cement plant and Coffeyville was added with Coffeyville Resources fuel refinery!

I been to Kansas lots of times I been to Kansas City and my mother lives in Sterling a small town it very beautiful

If only you could go from Topeka to KC to Wichita so fast. What takes hours only takes seconds. It is true to life what is shown.

I'd love it if I could use the walk around mode from the console, but I don't have a num pad on my laptop. 🙃 great video jeff! Nice drive through Kansas! 👍

Great video

There accuracy of the toll is wild lol.

Completely agree with you the AI. They will think NOTHING about coming to a complete, dead stop to let traffic on the ramps onto the highway.

His ats videos have leveled up in the cenimatic sense

Good video keep it up Jeff ❤

19:21 Wow they even got the IBA signage on the arena didn't expect that

Will be a first day purchase for me, and it according to the announcements there is a new DLC being released along side the Kansas DLC called Farm Machinery. ATS has long been a "shut up and take my money" sim for me for years LOL!

@jeff favingano i like the way you take your time when driving these simulator games,am actually a truck driver in real life and i drive these simulator games alot too

That toll is 100% accurate. The turnpike from KC to Wichita is expensive as hell. They charge by the axle.

Crazy I'm on I 35 south at a truck stop resting past Witchta going to Vegas trying to get to I 40 before dark.

It looks like they did the Flint Hills justice at least. Traveled that bit of highway many, many times on my way to and from college and home.

Loving the Kansas content Jeff! Also wanted to shout out Dan McNarry, he has great ATS content as well and releases skins on the Steam workshop

Tolls are generally based on the number of axles, so CMVs usually pay more IRL trucker

Finally Kansas DLC in American truck sim my favorite

cant wait for illinois and missouri if they ever make that a DLC. i can be on ATS listening to 30 hours while driving from chicago to st louis.

First automatic I drove IRL was one of those cascadias and the collision prevention system was not adjustable and it would put you out the windshield it was bad. Other then that loved that truck

Hey Jeff I thought seen u drive past my town of El Dorado ks lol

More and more states keep coming. Can't wait to see what the others will look like. Any convoys with the boys in the near future?

How’s it going Jeff?! Great video

About the AI: I'm wondering if maybe an AI rework will come right around or sometime after the engine rework. I can't promise anything since I do not work for SCS, obviously. I guess we'll have to see in the near future.

Was born and raise there may go back one day...

I realy miss the flight sim vids Jeff

Usually tolls go based off how many axles a vehicle has so $21 seems realistic

So Jeff you mentioned in your twitch stream that you wish they had a original day/night mod.... there is one on Steam workshop called "Actual Day-/Nighttime Mod", also you might be interested in a mod called "fog lights for SCS trucks" also on Steam Workshop.

I cant wait to buy this and travel through kansas i live outside of wichita

i think the toll prices are pretty accurate for kansas the toll prices on the pa turnpike are based on the weigh of your car/truck

The toll from Kansas City to Wichita where you got off the toll for commercial trucks (paying cash) is actually $21 lol. With a Ktag it's about $15!

Sheesh took them long enough. Wish they could finish coast to coast in my life time

Jeff favorite game 😊

16:26 Yep, Welcome to Kansas where KC to Wichita is $21 on the route you took instead of bypassing Topeka and took 35 down to Emporia (coulda saved ya $15). Driving in Kansas ain't cheap

You need to collab with Dave!!!

I love the automatic trucks but I would love you some more of you driving a manual peterbuilt 389 or 379 with the cat engine

MY FAVORITE KZfaqR JEFF FAVIGNNO KEEP ON TRUCKING AND GAMING JEFF FAVIGNNO ROCK STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If i may make a suggestiin for a great graphics mod that i feel you will absolutely love Jeff, it is the brutal weather and graphics mod, it is on steam and my goodness dies it do wonders, it even adds the reflections on the ground, it is amazing and i definetely reccommend as it definetely fixes the biggest complaint i have where it does not have the reflections when it rains in base game, plus it really enhances the sky oxes to where they are even more stunning

We're onto the boring states now, and that's not to throw shade at SCS but it's just how it is. Arkansas is next and that'll be somewhat interesting, Hopefully we'll have a spoof JB Hunt building or something

Just wait until Jeff goes to the North East. The toll rates here are a bit wild too. Through NYC and Boston can get you a hefty amount of fare to pay

Last time I drove through Kansas was in 2008, the game looks amazing though. Nothing like the American countryside

ATS is one sale till dec 11th, for anyone wanting the game ($5)

im from Wichita and at 19:50 that is truly just what happens there lmfao, if someone isnt paying attention that right there can cause a build up in traffic for 45 mins

Every major bridge in NY especially NYC has a toll in at least one direction.

Gotta love the KTA fees lol... that many axles, $21 doesn't seem too far off lol

You should try plumpete fov mirror mod. It’s in the workshop. Bout the best one in my opinion.

I actually live close by the Eisenhower international airport in Wichita Ks

Hi Jeff. Youve used Thrustmaster belt driven wheel before, with small inputs you can feel the cogs/notchy. With DD is that eliminated in ATS? Thanks :)

I wonder if you’re able to pick up at the ford plant since you got jobs in the Fairfax district.

I can’t wait till Missouri comes out I wonder if Springfield and Joplin would be out and look like the actual cities.

Just drove through Kansas on my way down to Texas from Wisconsin. Kansas was beautiful but man get gas before you need it otherwise you are screwed.

hey jeff how were you able to buy john rudas trucks? i can’t buy them because they aren’t in the US, love the ats videos

My favorite DLC so far. What mod are you using for AI traffic?

Been enjoying Kansas a lot actually. Have had a hard time getting the new loads from the farm equipment DLC to spawn in so I can haul them. The sky boxes look so much better, especially the night sky. Driving at night is actually fun. The AI traffic does need a few tweaks, though I am one of the people who thinks their level of dumb is pretty realistic. Construction zone slow down to nothing to merge is pretty accurate, dang near a daily occurrence in the real world. I have had a couple AI pass on a double yellow in game and I lost count of how many times that has happened to me in real life. If an AI passed me on the shoulder or used a right or left turn lane to pass me, the AI would truly be equal to real people in their stupid. I have dashcam video of all of the above, as do a lot of drivers. But yes the AI could use some help navigating the world a little smoother, no argument there. I'm sure you probably get it a lot, but I would love to join you on a convoy and talk trucking. I haul trusses out in Idaho and am usually pulling oversized loads into all the places they don't want you taking a truck into in the first place. I've had to have heavy equipment pick up the trailer to make it around turns or drag the truck forwards and backward because the dirt road into the jobsite is too steep for the truck to make it up to where they want them.
