*80s radio station and suggestions
Hi, I love the game. However, I notice that the 80s radio station is not as good as the 80s radio station from eurotruck simulator 2. Would it be possible to have the same radio stations on both games?

Also, here are few suggestions would make this game more "real" and fun:

1- Add passive characters such as, cyclist ( in city and roads ), people asking for a lift ( and perhaps allow to give them a lift for extra points ... or die from a serial killer. Sweet.

2- Add natural disaster such as "Tornado", Snowstorm, Rainstorm, Thunderstorm, Flooding, Ice on the road, blizzard, Tsunami, Earthquake, Volcano explosion, etc. All these elements should also have a strong impact on our gameplay. Example, if there is a tornado, we can chose to wait far .... or go through and risk to be lifted up all the way to Oz city. Why not.

3- Add funny, weird stuff such as "UFO" passing by or abducting cows. People cutting us off while honking and swearing at us ( for any reason ), Deer or Moose crossing the road...if we hit them, we get penalty... or we can bring them with us to eat them.. something like that.

4- Add more pedestrians everywhere... cities are empty.. looks weird. Make some pedestrians do dumbs stuff like crossing on the red light.. if we hit them or kill them.. we get penality or jail time...why not.

5- Cities needs to be more "liveful" they all look plastic. Make people talk.. scream.. complain...I wanna see delivery pizza people...people fighting on the street... road rage..., people waiting in line to watch a movie...young kids crossing the street.... ducks and entire family crossing the streets... Moose chilling on the road....stuff like that. Why not.

Well, I know it's a lot, but, I dont know... it would look and sound so much more real then to simply deliver goods from A to B... which is still fun somewhat along with the music... the best are 80s and 90s music. You should add more stations of that. It's really good. Cheers

It is in the root directory (documents) of both ETS2 and ATS. Use Notepad++ to open it and edit.

Just remember guys, forget about new gameplay stuff if SCS don't do all USA states.

Yes, you can put all of the ATS radio stations in ETS2 and vice versa. It's as simple as copying a single text file over. Or you can selectively edit the file and just add the stations you want.

I believe the devs want to keep the 'kid-friendly', as it is now. So there will be no hitting(killing pedestrians. That's what the GTA series is for.
