I've never actually checked the time but I think it was well over an hour. To be honest that's what is the most disappointing thing about ATS (for me), the time compression. I seem to be forever finishing jobs, looking for a place to sleep or to fill up. And especially with only 2 states available only, I have all the cities and towns discovered already and am forever following the same roads.
That's a good question 24 if I'm not mistaken. I only have 2 large garages and just bought the last truck to fill the last space in them. I could borrow a lot more money and buy some more stuff, but I'm in no rush. Just taking things easy and enjoying the ride (excuse the pun).
I had a rather long break from the game that lasted something like a year or so.
Only just started, I'm level 9, will hit level 10 with next job. Iv got about 136k saved,
Gonna buy a truck for myself, Get a loan from the bank,then buy a garage, 2 extra trucks and hire 2 drivers.
I just got a 400k loan, bought a garage, a nice scania for me, and a extra basic one, and hired a driver.
Not sure I should of spent the amount I did on my truck, but I am the boss so only fair to treat myself lol
word of warning on this game.... it does not use the steam cloud for saves.... I had JUST bought my 1st rig - i barely even got to drive it - maybe a couple of jobs - then i upgraded my pc.
i did not bother backing up my save. i big mistake.
if you formate your pc for what ever reason, back up your save!.
