Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

Well, I am hoping back on to ATS to get my truck closer to Missouri.  Off I go.  Been playing ETS2 for the past two weeks.

So we all have no idea what the sound is for then still.  That kind of blows my mind.  How are we all looking over it?  It has to be Ai sounds then, but SCS said we were pretty much all wrong.

Are we sure those aren't engine sounds for semi trucks?  I guess they don't sound right.  But it could mean they are recording all new sounds in general.

I actually don't know what it could be.  If it isn't a driveable truck, it just has to be sound effects.  Anything else would disappoint people who over-hyped this rather innocent teaser.

That's the problem.  Fans overhyped it thinking it was a drivable truck.  Now they all be disappointed because whatever it is can't possibly live up to that.

I expected to see 1.54 update today after the WoT server maintenance announcement, but turns out the release has been postponed .

If it isn't traffic noises or a new truck, I have no idea what it could.  I am trying to think outside of the box but I am getting nothing.

Did they add sounds to the special delivery ai traffic?  Like the engine of the pilot truck?

Meanwhile, we have a release of 1.54 for ATS — the game is ready for Missouri DLC!

[MasterXtreme]

Need to start driving to Missouri's boundaries!

Curious how the new Physics engine will be.  It has gotten very little attention.  Hopefully driving over traffic cones won't feel like hitting an anvil and cause 8% damage anymore.

Road Network of Iowa

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

The tiny bridge is my favourite.
I am afraid there are no oversized cargo routes through it .

[Rainberry]

Awwww! That little covered bridge is cute.

When I think of Iowa, I certainly don't think of impressive infrastructure, but some of those bridges are really neat! I am glad SCS did the research and scouting to present these two us.  Lowkey a good blog post.   Better then truck stop posts.

[MasterXtreme]

For those still confused about the new cargo system in the game, this thread is goes very in-depth with it.  Mainly the first post is what you will want to read.  There is photos included.

It looks like SCS could really set this up to allow for multiple deliveries drops with one load.  They sort of tested this during the Christmas event with "lost packages."

Parking my truck in Colby, Kansas for the time being.  Ready to take my next haul into Missouri.

[timmelon]

I see they have changed the button clicking sound — again!

[Wolfwood]

Yes, lots of little changes.  Including seating adjustments.

Meet the Illinois team!

Also, some people are already sharing the early access videos, so the map of Missouri is no more a secret (MAJOR SPOILER ON THIS LINK, also, it’s not full here). I like the density of the roads, and seems like it will be even higher while moving further to the East.

[Rainberry]

That is awesome!  I would love some more dense road networks with more road options, especially as states get smaller.

That link to the spoiler doesn't work for me.
