I want to say thank you very much for this.
As a 25 year vet truck driver, allowing us to make wrong turns and get lost in ATS just add to the experience i have had.
Also being able to go through them allows us to be able to back down these closed roads to turn around if we need to. Something that also adds to the experience.

Usually if there's a surface to drive on you won't fall through, but basically anything can happen once you're off the defined map.

@Draco Deathclaw, how about trying it out yourself 😏

How far can you go off the map before you fall through the map

Works!

@CraZy leGGs, MM loads from bottom to top basically, i.e. lowest mod get's overwritten by a higher mod. That's why some mods/addons for existing truck-mods state, that you have to put them sometimes "above the main-mod". So it got overwritten by something, but yeah, sounds like it's working now.
Glad it's working on your end now :)

@DaStrobel, I don't know how. This mod has always been categorized in order in MM.

Dead ends or blockers are map related assets(I run no map mods) therefore should be placed towards the bottom of MM. I've always categorically organized my MM since 2016 and this mod as well since version 1.49ish without any issues to my knowledge, to date. Maybe it's just a fluke, the only other mod(s) I've installed over the past few weeks are those I mod in blender which aren't nor affect map assets.

Thanks for your time 😎

@CraZy leGGs, so it was a mod-conflict indeed. At least we figured it out and it's working again for ya. Still appreciate your report! Thank you!

@DaStrobel, moving to top of mod manager solved this. Weird, first time I needed to do this since subbing.

FWIW I've completed the Iowa event and seen no barriers.

@CraZy leGGs, just checked again on both Hwy's, everything's fine on my end. :/

@DaStrobel, Hwy 65 north just getting in Mason City then immediately after along Hwy 122 west to the mechanic shop area. I'm currently out of service right now to any loads heading west along Hwy 122 lol.

@CraZy leGGs, can you provide an EXACT location where this is happening?
I just checked Mason City and Waterloo and couldn't find any problems.
Maybe there's an mod-conflict on your end. Try to put this mod above all of your other mods.

@DaStrobel, appreciate it.

thank you for reporting! I'll chack that once I got the time for it.

Iowa - Mason City and Waterloo still have visible dead end markers.

Hallo Da sTrobel, danke erstmal für deine ganzen tollen Mods. Leider gab es wieder ein SCS-update und ich würde ,ich freuen wenn du die DeadEnd-Mod auf 1.55. aktualisieren könntest. Für den Realismus im ATS-simulator finde ich sie sehr wichtig.VG nach BY

@SynthSeer, I agree, there are a lot of invisible walls set by SCS to prevent running out of bounds even with this mod. Some areas we can venture out into, some areas even with blockers removed with empty lots, some roads or grassy areas have to be approached with care as well. I find this out a lot when attempting to turn around, invisible wall but it doesn't hurt to try, venture off the beaten path 😉

So glad this mod exists... for both Euro and American truck simulators.

It really really shows just how much more there is to explore in every country/state, so many tiny roads and cities that before this mod were only for NPCs.

Thank you for making this mod fr, been having a wonderful time exploring each corner out of bounds, just gotta be careful to not fall of the map!

Works fine in 1.54 (maybe I edited the versions file, can't remember).

Will this be updated to 1.54?

I want to cross the barriers physically, but I still want them to be visible. Is this possible? Thank you.

@CraZy leGGs I just placed the model in question in map-editor, no crash for me.
Do you use any other mod that might cause it?
To me it looks like my mod is NOT causing that problem.

@CraZy leGGs I'll look into it. Thank you

1.54 is throwing these errors:

<ERROR> [model] Model descriptor '/dlc/dead_end_dlc.pmd' has incorrect file version 825636150 - expected version 4
00:08:58.932 : <ERROR> d:\buildbot\slaves\win_slave\final_build_ats_154_windows_bin_steam_x64\build\prism\src\models\model\model_template.cpp(702): ?cache_data_handler@model_template_u@prism@@UEAAXXZ: Failed to load model descriptor (.pmd) or model geometry (.pmg) for '/dlc/dead_end_dlc.pmg'.

🤔

Works great in 1.51. Just be careful if you decide to drive on the roads, many are safe-ish, but if the terrain starts to look a bit odd you'll fall off the map (you can get a tow back still). My only problem now is that I can't tell which roads are barrier or hidden. Gotta find a mod that allows you to drive on the roads, but still has visual that the road is "off limits". Is there a way to make it so that the barriers are road cones, but still passable?

I love taking a short cut before traffic lights. And I love but hate when I missed my exit and end up where I am not supposed to be at all :D

Very realistic , thank's

FAVORITE THIS. Everyone should have this it'd a must HAVE. Ty Strobel for your time and work.

@HU1212ICAN3 you can add me as a friend on steam and send me sceenshots of the map+ingame via DM.

Hey! Finally got Nebraska and found some spots where theres walls. Not sure how to send screenshots to you.

Added to favorites thanks so much

Best mod so far

10x

Thank you!

Works fine in 1.50...

NEEDS A DAMN UPDATE

So I just want to be able to park in shopping center parking lots when I shut the game down, like I do in real life. The MOD works as described, but the shopping centers seem to have another barrier (invisible). Are those areas just off limits?

Works fine in 1.49, works fine in Kansas, no update required.

@HU1212ICAN3 give the author time to update it. I'm pretty sure it still works fine on 1.49 as it did on 1.48. The author, much like many of them, likely has a day time job apart from making mods.

It does not work on 1.48 guys. Only the states that were out before this was last updated. Modder wont get on to update his shit.

Finally, I can drive off of the edge of the world, just like IRL!! No but seriously thank you. IRL I use shopping centers and whatnot to turn around and fix weird situations all the time. SCS seems to think that it impossible for some reason. This fixes that.

1.48 work fine!

Works for me on 1.48

На 1.48 не работает?

1.48 please

1.48 please

I just had this on my mod list and it would not let me go through a deadend as it says it will let you!

Hello is this mod for 1.47 ?

hey guys this mod does it interfere with traffic flow my traffic gone crazy
