Time in American Truck Simulator passes faster than in real life, so you probably sometimes wonder how long it will take you to drive a given route in real time.
Thanks to this calculator, you can easily convert the time, and you can save or share the results with your friends.
It all depends on the scale.
The default scale is 1:20, which means that time in ATS flows 20 times faster than in real life. In this case, 1 hour (60 minutes) in the game corresponds to 3 minutes in real life.
Where x = how much faster the time flows in the game (it's 20 by default).
However, remember that the time scale in the game can depend on several factors, e.g., in cities, it is 1:3, so 1 hour in the game will correspond to 20 minutes in real life.
| Location | Scale (Real Time : ATS Time) |
|---|---|
| General | 1:20 |
| Cities, depots, and rest stops | 1:3 |
| TruckersMP | 1:6 |
