A Trucking Adventure from Bend Oregon to Spokane Washington
Today, we embark on a long journey from Bend Oregon to Spokane Washington in the FD by Faster CGO truck found on the Steam Workshop. Our mission is to pick up IBC containers from Beaser Homes in Bend and transport them to Beaser in Spokane. Climb aboard as we conquer this lengthy route with the ZODS CAT C15 engine powering our truck.
But before we hit the road, I want to express my gratitude to our sponsor, Thrustmaster, for their support of this American Truck Simulator series. Their Thrustmaster T818 direct drive wheel adds a whole new level of realism and immersion to our gaming experience.
Now, let's get rolling! As we make our way out of Bend, we take a moment to appreciate the scenic beauty of Oregon. It's been a while since we've explored this state in American Truck Simulator, so it's great to be back on the road. Today, we're going for a longer run than usual to spice things up.
As we navigate through traffic, I can't help but reflect on the World Flight event happening soon. Starting on November 4th, we'll be flying a full 737 cockpit Sim around the world as a crew, together with the SoCal crew. This event is not only a thrilling aviation experience but also a charity initiative. We have some amazing sponsors, including Thrustmaster, who are generously contributing to the cause. Make sure to mark your calendars and join in the excitement.
Speaking of events, let's not forget about our OCRP (Our Community Roleplay) adventures. The OCRP content has been a hit among viewers, and I have a lot more in store for You. In an upcoming episode, we'll be reconnecting with Juju Big Mama in Liberty City. While Liberty City is a separate server from our main OCRP server, we're still working on making it an enjoyable experience. Our dedicated team is continuously improving and upgrading the server, especially the law enforcement vehicles.
If you're a fan of VATSIM, you'll be pleased to know that I've been actively involved in air traffic control at Kansas City International Airport. It's been a fantastic experience so far, and I can't wait to explore more of what VATSIM has to offer. In fact, there's an upcoming event called Cross the Pond on VATSIM, where I'll be participating as an airplane spotter at Boston Logan. It's going to be a fun-filled day of live players demonstrating their landing skills after long-haul flights. You won't want to miss it!
As winter approaches, I'm considering adding the snow mod to our American Truck Sim adventures. However, I know from experience that while it may be fun for a while, it can also become monotonous. Just like in real life, driving in snow can be challenging, and the novelty wears off quickly. But if you're up for the challenge, let me know in the comments, and we'll make it happen.
Now let's talk about our gaming setup. Many of you have asked why I don't have triple monitors. The truth is, I opted for a 48-inch gaming monitor instead. Triple monitors require a lot of space and can be cumbersome. Plus, with the addition of TrackIR, I can still enjoy a more immersive experience without the need for multiple screens. It's a personal preference, and I find this setup to be sufficient for my needs.
In conclusion, this journey from Bend Oregon to Spokane Washington has been a Memorable one. We've conquered traffic, challenges, and enjoyed the scenic beauty along the way. Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and I look forward to our future trucking expeditions together.
Safe travels, and until next time, Take Care and keep on trucking!
