Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I really enjoy the rural and open states.  So I love seeing these small town updates.

I will hold off on the Krone DLCs for now.

South Dakota is looking good. Soon we will be entering the highly urbanized east.  So enjoy the rural states while we can.

We have so many things that are new.  New map DLCs coming, two new Krone DLCs, new trucks, Road Trip, Coaches, etc!!

SCS also said the Halloween event will be very different this year.  I always thought they could use that snow map and turn it into a Halloween, autumn location.  Or spooky place!!

I still don’t get the carbon fiber decoration on the bus seats — I see it as easy to clean, but not nice to hold surface.
At least, it’s not a slick carbon fiber steering wheel .

[Silverwing]

Carbon fiber seats on a bus?  Weird choice of an expensive material. It reduces weight i guess.

[timmelon]

It reduces weight i guess.

If it’s only a couple of decorations, I doubt it does .
I just Googled for proposed carbon fiber airliner seat designs, and found these monsters. They promise to reduce 2360 kg per one A321 (as I know, that amount of extra fuel should add almost one hour of flight for this type), but it’s unlikely for them to be certified — just the non-foldable armrests are enough to react with JJ Jameson’s laugh .

Random fun fact for everyone.  Did you know passenger planes store their jet fuel in their wings?

Yeah, those seats don't look too comfortable either.

Ålesund

As you may guess, the non-standard letter means the name from Nordic Horizons DLC .
Another nice Scandinavian city, looking much better than we have now in DLC from 2015.

[Anyponedrawn]

Wow, it looks beautiful.

[MasterXtreme]

Looks really nice. I can't wait to explore these far northern towns and cities.

Since Thrustmaster T248 wheel is a common guest in SCS videos, I think their modular gamepad with a little steering wheel module can also be an award on the next events. It’s still not a valid substitute of full-size wheel, but seems to be a nice idea for driving games. As I remember, the previous TM’s gamepad with in-built wheel around one of the sticks wasn’t too successful, so now they offer more versatile device .

The upcoming screenshots get me so excited for the new content coming to both games! I just plunked down a chunk of money and am replacing my 12 year old gaming computer. Starting all new. Can't wait to see how it changes my driving experience! I will get more than 30fps!!! That will be neat.

Water Bodies of Reworked Benelux

Oooh, some iconic locations here . The dam and the bridge with channel are easily recognized without any «before-after» compilations.

[MasterXtreme]

Wow, these look so much better. I am going to traverse old parts of the ETS2 map again here real soon, especially the Nordic regions so I can be prepared for the jump in quality coming soon!

[Anyponedrawn]

Going to watch that console one. I won't buy the game on console, but I am interested on their work.
