A little update of I-44

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

As a good tradition, a year after the state release we have a little update for it, mostly for the better connection with new states . Of course, this update is not so big as we had with Texas, but I still like how developers restore the missing links in road network.

Sp happy they did this.  OKC seemed so disconnected.  It's like we simply drove by it, never felt like we were IN the city if that makes sense.  I thought it was lame I-44 wasn't looping around the city when the DLC released, but now we're getting it.  It will further integrate OKC into the game and allow for more options getting around it.

They have returned to one post every day .

Greek Highways & Junctions

More not-so-green Europe today. Not as radically sunburnt as Spain or Corsica, but still a big contrast with Scandinavian scenery .

Awesome! Oklahoma City seemed way too small in the game in terms of getting around it. This is a big improvement.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but Greece isn't known for their great highways, but compared to the countries around them, their highways are stellar.  Looks good.

In the game, the highways will be great anyway .
BTW, I forgot to share a picture from Schmitz brochure from the official site.

It’s a pity we can’t see what warnings could be for Balkans and Turkey

P.S. They have Andorra on their map! Schmitz 1:0 SCS

I'm surprised the hazard for some of these countries isn't a bottle of alcohol.

Dynamic unloading scenes for chip vans

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

Of course, dynamic loading/unloading of flatbeds/lowboys would be better, but I guess it’s really difficult to animate all cargoes for them, so for now we have only the bulk cargoes — for grain hoppers since 1.50, and chip vans as announced for 1.51 today.

[Anyponedrawn]

I've never seen any of these animations in-game before.  Not sure how you get them.

[timmelon]

No wonder since at this moment it’s an exclusive for one trailer type and one state .

[Graymist]

That explains why I haven't seen it either. Probably too low of a profit for me to be hauling it.

[timmelon]

The profitability of all bulk cargoes like that is horrible .

[Graymist]

I am usually hauling semi trucks, big equipment, farming stuff, oil, explosive materials, etc.  

[timmelon]

...semi trucks...

I like how ATS truck cargo looks.
Of course, I wish to see hauling some old or just mixed trucks, but even now you can do something like that (my two year-old screenshot):

First you help them, then they may help you .
(ugh, the wheels finish is still different)

My fav is when you drive a differing truck from another company to the one's you are delivering.  I am sure the truck companies aren't too fond of that. ^

I really wish, once they catch up on all the new trucks, they'd make some classic trucks.... but I know that won't happen so never mind, lol!

Lol! I've done that.
