Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

A small video from Volvo museum:

Looks like they take the «Without trucks, you would be hungry, naked and homeless» statement seriously — at 19:00 there is a short (and, maybe, a bit exaggerated ) description what is happening during the first five days of this.
By the way, my current ETS truck is a red Volvo FH6 with camera mirrors... which give too bright and warm picture when you are on the illuminated highway — sometimes it feels like you turn off the lights in you room and set the display brightness to 100%.

(One of the newest trucks on one of the oldest parts of the map (which is going to be updated, maybe even this year). As I know, this big methane molecule is the only presence of this gas in the game — we can carry only its heavier sisters like ethane, propane and LPG )
Also, I just found out that container port of Kotka has an area with wrong collision model:

UPD:

The new building models for Louisiana

They are going to be a great background for screenshots!

I don't think I like camera mirrors as much as traditional mirrors.  It's just another item to stop working eventually ... and do we all really want another screen to look at? I didn't think so.

Uhhh.... is your truck sinking into the road, Timmy?

The single skyscraper shown in that developer blog post is a building in Shreveport, Louisiana.  It is a city along the muddy shores of the Mississippi River! The Shreveport Convention Center and some bridge structures were also shown.

As one more sweet detail — when the engine is turned off, they don’t work as well . I believe it’s a kind of system which deserves its own battery — a couple of 21700s or 26800s for each «mirror» should be more than enough for short stops like refuelling.

It’s something like a pit there, but filled with non-existent concrete. I remember there was something similar near Chemso depot in Portland, but not as deep as here.

Hey nice work!  You found some locations already!

That is a really cool detail SCS added.

Oh I see you found the same error I discovered awhile back.   

[Wolfwood]

I hear Shreveport is kind of a dump.

Continuing the topic of Scandinavia (BTW, the first ETS DLC about it was released exactly ten years ago ): today we see a small town from far north — as Wikipedia says, at that lattitude the sun is visible for two months in a row. It would be interesting to see how the polar day will look in SCS game.

I love it! I love it visually! I cannot wait to see this map expansion come to fruition!

Ethanol Plant in Iowa

Does it mean we may have a raw alcohol as some of new cargoes?

[Grapefoot]

We do have a beer company.

[Anyponedrawn]

I guess this game would be rated TEEN because of the alcohol and dynamite.

[RainySunshine]

Rated Mature.

Some reworked Scandinavian roads

Make the green scenery even greener!
Also, I hope they will update some depots in Sweden. Since last year, we now are able to take HCT couple in this country (before that, only Finland allowed them), but not every depot was adapted, so, if you choose to auto-pickup the load, your truck with two long trailers may be parked as it has long+short trailer combination.

Finally! I've been waiting for a rework post! Very pleased to see this. Cannot wait to see this area up to par with other areas.

Your truck looks like a derailed train!
