At //42, we've never seen simulation as limited to one genre, platform, or perspective.
To us, it's always been about freedom, the freedom to explore, discover, and immerse. Whether you're flying, driving, or something in between, our goal is to craft experiences that make your chosen virtual world feel alive.
We've often said, "The World is Our Simulation," which reminds me...I need to put that into our company description! It sums up what we're about better than just about anything else.
Over the years, we've created aircraft, ground vehicles, utilities, and visual effects, often focused on the things you didn't know you needed yet. Those sometimes missing or overlooked details pull you in and make a sim world feel more alive, and that's where we like to operate. Today, that mindset shifts gears as we venture into the world of American Truck Simulator (ATS).
The First Mile...
I'm excited to announce our first release, and it's a location you might already know and love: Circle B Ranch.
Originally built for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Circle B Ranch has always hinted at more to come. It features a truck and cattle trailer in its layout for MSFS, a quiet hint as to where things would eventually head. In fact, Keven and I have dedicated trucking setups where we unwind.
Rebuilt from scratch specifically for ATS, this version of Circle B Ranch brings everything you expect from us: handcrafted detail, an authentic vibe, and a strong sense of place. Whether you're flying in or hauling through Wyoming, you'll feel right at home, especially if you've already spent time at Circle B Ranch in MSFS.
Circle B Ranch for ATS is currently at the final stage of the release process and we can now say "SOON".
So, Why Truck Simulation?
Truck sim has grown into one of the most popular corners of the sim world, with millions of active players across titles like American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. The appeal goes beyond the trucks; it's about the journey, the scenery, the rhythm of long hauls, and the satisfaction of doing the job right. And well, because we love it!
There's a clear parallel between trucking and flight simulation. Both attract a similar mindset, people who value planning, immersion, and being present in the experience of virtual exploration. Think of it this way: whether you plan to climb through cloud layers or avoid road detours while staying on schedule, it's about the process, not just the destination.
We've always built for that kind of simmer, the one who notices the small details, who enjoys getting lost in the moment. Truck simulation fits naturally into that philosophy. Circle B Ranch is our first product in ATS; but more great stuff is down the road!
Want to see for yourself? ATS is currently only $20 on Steam!
In Closing
Simulation comes in many forms, and we've always seen the parallels. What are some of your favorite sim titles beyond flight and trucking? You never know where we might show up next. That's part of the fun and mystery that defines us. But, if you know, you know...42 is the answer. Let us know where you'd like to see us next via our feedback form: http://Parallel42.com/feedback
Thanks for trusting us to lead the way in the skies, on the road, and wherever we go next.
