Oliver H. deserves a raise!

In that latest 'Cities of Louisiana' post, they showed a lot of Baton Rouge landmarks. Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana and home to the tallest state capitol building in the USA.  There is a good history about it here and it's quick! Time stamped!

One more improvement from upcoming 1.55 patch: several small updates for fresh Cascadia, including some parts which were available for older generation (like vertical pipes or classic gauges on dashboard). Still no information about the Kenworth T680 updates.
Anyway, today we have an hour of Iowa .

And its map in high quality... with one more Burlington. I believe only the requirement to make every DLC as stand-alone unit doesn’t allow to create the achievement for carrying the goods between the eponymous cities .

[RainySunshine]

The Kenworth T680 is coming.  It is.  For 1.55.  I am still confident.

Good thing Burlington, Washington also wasn't a marked city on the map.  It appears as an unmarked town in the current map.

I swear the Freightliner Cascadia gets a refresh to the design almost every other year.

Really liked the Louisiana cities post.  They've still kept New Orleans hidden.  Also curious about their Port Fourchon representation.  A very unique port and strange place that the game seems to be heading too.

Introducing South Dakota

OK, now we know that Dakotas will be released separately, however, I am sure that after releasing the Northern one, both states will be in a bundle. Of course, I’m not going to wait for the discount, and every state DLC will be installed immediately after becoming available.

I mean it makes sense that South Dakota and North Dakota are separate states.  They are still BIG states in size.  That is a lot of work for SCS.  I mean Oklahoma and Nebraska for example are smaller than both those states.  It's when we get to New England with states like Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont they need to be combined for sure.  Even some states that are so closely tied to one another like combine West Virginia and Virgina, haha.  Or combine New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland or something.... It will make for some weird maps for a short period until they finish the states around them. 

If we are getting a smaller state like Louisiana as a single state DLC, I see them doing that with every state now except for when we get to the northeast.

One new farming cargo!

Looks like both ETS and ATS will get some small updates in every part of the game . So, there is a new farming machine — windrower. Just as the combine harvester, its working unit is supposedly carried by someone else.

[Rainberry]

Interesting.

[Anyponedrawn]

Can never complain about more cargo.

2 MILES FROM MY DELIVERY DROP OFF AND THE SCS SERVERS WENT DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE WITH NO WARNING! AHHHHH!!!!!

I guess that means SCS is up to something for ATS and ETS2. 

[RainySunshine]

Possibly the 1.55 ETS2 update.

I was still 220 miles from my destination.  Unexpected.

[MasterXtreme]

THE SERVER IS BACK ONLINE! I can finish my delivery!!! Hooray!

[timmelon]

No updates yet .

[Anyponedrawn]

Hmmm.  Probably a blog post on Tuesday.
