You can now expand your trucking simulators with community create mods in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator.

At last, you can now mod-in real advertisements:

Along side this the developers have also added in wheel customization. Wheels are now broken down into multiple parts allow for greater personalization of your sweet rides.

You can find American Truck Simulator on Steam, you can also find Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam.

It's really great to see SCS Software support their titles reasonably well, and proper mod support will extend the life of both games quite a lot.

Be honest, how many hours have you put into them? I need to buy a proper wheel to enjoy them more I think, but wow wheels are expensive. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Stupendous ManPlaying with the Xbox 360 controller, what do you do about the missing buttons, do you have a keyboard at hand? I'm playing with the Xbox controller too but have a few keys assigned to the Steam Controller which I have lying beside me, stuff like raising/lowering the rear wheels, starting/stopping the engine etc. This is why I'd love to play with the Steam Controller instead, since it has more buttons available.

I have three computers at my desktop, one of which is my custom built Linux gaming machine, so the keyboard and mouse are easily available for the times (particularly navigating through the menus and after a load is delivered) when they are needed. I do understand that a controller probably isn't enough to get by for the couch PC gamers. There was a time when I could move a mouse cursor with the controller and press an action key to select buttons, but somewhere along the line, I must have unintentionally changed a setting that disabled it. Either way, it works great for all of the time outside of menus as I have my buttons mapped to where I only need the essentials, and I even have a few buttons left over that I don't use (mostly on the D pad). I have mapped the "back" button of the controller to turn on and off the engine for instance.

My setup for 360 and One joypads:

LS=Wheel
RS=Look
LSB=Cruise Control,
RSB=Center view,
Dpad left/right=Turn signals
Dpad up=GPS zoom
Dpad down=cargo info
Back=World map
Start=Game menu
X=Start/Stop engine
A=Select
Y=Lights mode
B=Engage/Disengage trailer
LB=High beam light
RB=Whippers
LT=Brake
RT=Gas

And I drive with "Simple Automatic" transmission.

Since I play at a desktop, a mouse and keyboard are at hand.

I'm a Big fan of this game. I spent more than 250 hours in it. I'm very happy with the inclusion of Steamworks in ETS2, but I'm very disappointed to see that the Steam Controller support don' t exist.

I think I've spent more hours making mods for ATS than I have actually playing it :-P. The workshop uploader doesn't work with linux yet, but I got my mods on there anyway :-).

As for my hour count of playing ETS2? Well let's just say it is too many.

Oh, and I used keyboard mouse with a custom key layout with the "real automatic" transmission.
