Well, I saw a bunch of rail crossings in Romania, but I haven't met any trains (when I hurry to pick up valuable cargo with expiring time, trains are coming on every crossing, of course
). And the river ferry cutscene
sounds exactly the same as in 1.36.
One weird thing I noticed in 1.37 (it was in ATS and now came to ETS), it's when you see the «rotating arrows» sign every time when you open the map — the latter is not heavier or more detailed than map from 1.36, so why it loads slower?
Speaking of
'14 Actros, I didn't very like its new engine sound (on the other hand,
'09 Actros sound was improved), but I love the sound of a handbrake release — it really feels like you are freeing something very big and heavy
, the wimpy hissing from Mack or Peterbilt is no match for this awesome sound.
Also I see they finally added new loading screens, and the garage in game menu looks different. Since I don't like the one-purpose trailers, I am not going to buy the milk tank, but I hope that I will see the buyable car transporter, maybe not
that type (it requires the special truck), but at least with the ability to paint it in my truck's color.
Apparently, the
SCS is close to this, judging from
today's blog post, dedicated to car industry:
I think this will add more fresh air to car transporting in this game — after all, if 3 of 7 car loads have the same cars (the only difference is color), there is a need to improve this
. Even industrial vehicles have a much more variety in ETS — by the way, notice how
SCS are reuploading videos about
Heavy Cargo Pack or some other DLC's videos on their channel. Looks like the trademark's holders have so much power so game developers are forced to reupload videos when some inapropriate things appears in them. Or maybe there is some avid perfectionist in
SCS's staff, who just can't tolerate how the locomotive from
HCP have a different paintscheme in game and in an official trailer
.
UPD: Ha-ha, I finally caught the train in Târgu Mureș! The crossing bell sounds like tired «ding...diiiing, ding...diiiing»*, but the train itself is really loud, much louder than in 1.36.
I can say that Romanian rail crossings are my favorite, i just love how they look:
The lights inside crossing bars, the dangling red lamp on a boom barrier — looks really cute.
*Czechian and Polish bells sound similar, but the former is slightly faster.
