Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

[MasterXtreme]

There is a continued rumor two new Peterbilt's are coming including a complete rework of the old ones.  But nothing concrete yet and nothing even remotely close, so I won't include that.  Only things we have confirmed.

Oh, the rigid truck is a true Half-Life 3 for ETS. However, they still have higher chances to appear in the game before the oldest Iveco and MAN could be reworked.

[Graymist]

Well, I guess the list has everything pretty much then.  It just seems like we are missing things.  So much happens all the time with this game.

[MasterXtreme]

Going to be adding the new Volvo VNL as well.  A stream showed they were working on it. 

[timmelon]

The official site says the available engines for the fresh VNL are in 405-500 HP range . Only heavy-duty model VNX has 605, and it was not updated yet (its design is based on a previous VN* generation). Who knows what engines will be for the next VNX (which has low chances to appear in the game ).

[MasterXtreme]

The VNX is possible . . . I mean they made smaller trucks for Western Star.  *shrugs*

New Industries and New Cargoes

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

I believe the older bases from early SCS games (a small depot surrounded with a fence) eventually will completely disappear from the *TS maps, at least in new/reworked cities.
One remark about the Forklifts: we actually have them in ATS, the ones on the screenshots are new. Will they replace the existing forklifts or be a separate cargo — both options are good .

[RainySunshine]

Oh heck yeah! I always love new cargo.  And apparently with the new cargo placing system on trailers, it will allow for a quicker roll out of new cargo . . . somehow. 

[timmelon]

^As I have said after trying a new beta, at least some cargoes will be given in larger portions .
(for example, with a medium-sized flatbed we can take only 2 forklifts now, but the screenshot from the fresh post shows you 4)

The new analyzing system as to how cargo is placed is cool.

I am guessing this is the first step to them offering MIXED cargo in the future.  Like where we pick of a delivery at Depot A, pick up more cargo as Depot B and deliver part of the cargo to Destination A and another part of Destination B.

That is a really good theory.

Maybe, one complain is how the new forklifts are fixed with some tape, while old ones (BTW, why their forks are not foldable? It looks weird today) used the chain like a heavy machinery.

I would love this. Hope you are right.

It looks idyllic in a rural Iowa kind of way.
