We also got German cities rework for ETS2.

No word on the final part of the California rework, but I wouldn't expect that yet at all.  Probably early 2025.

Might be mid 2025.  We haven't heard anything yet.

More industries from Arkansas

Still no ETS beta today. However, the BIG wood processing factory looks impressive.

The yellow pine industry is pretty big in the south. 

[Soda]

I like big wood.

Great looking update!  Also looks like SCS is making some new airline liveries to get rid of the rather silly ones they currently have.

[timmelon]

^Those liveries are pretty fine if compare with other games .

BTW, the description of that map in Counter-Strike Wiki says one of the bomb spots is a 1977 Mack Super Liner.
Yup, definitely Mack .

(ugh, they need a registration to edit the article)
UPD:

Beta for ETS is here!

So, changes in the game map (unlike ATS, the color from 1.50 remains) are bigger than we see for Oklahoma . If look only at the map, the reworked Magdeburg seems to be more concentrated, as it’s done in pre-Scandinavia ETS fashion, and the rework of Bremen is done as how they are working now. One thing I don’t understand is why a couple of roads near Magdeburg and Osnabrück are removed.
As for the vehicle update, there are 1 (one) new wheel for trailers, and not very different from the ones we had before. I can say I’m not interested in the trailer wheels for ETS as long as I can’t make them matching to the truck rear wheels .

Can I say I truly hate how SCS decided to update Germany.  First highways, then specific cities.  I wish they'd just update it region by region.  It makes it so confusing and I had the little tiny updates here and there.  Just be like, we're updating Northwest Germany, we are not updating northeast Germany!  Similar to how they updated California.  Section, by section.

I hope the cities are more integrated feeling then they look on the map. The downside of old ETS2 was how all the cities were so disconnected.  You were on the motorway and then took one exit to all of a sudden be in a city.  You never saw the city from the motorway.  Most of these cities (At least on the map) still look like they only have one exit to them, which is pretty socking considering these are big cities.

Looks like a Freightliner badge.

Still gonna wait for final release, as tempting as these BETA's are.

[Silverwing]

I agree, the map progression with Germany really irks me.  I can't wait till it's just all done.

Joplin

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

A lot of recently built brick buildings here.

[Smiles2us]

A lot of OLD brick buildings you mean.  We are entering a part of the country where they used a lot of brick at the turn of the 20th century.

[Wolfwood]

I've been to Joplin... it's kind of an old industrial city. A lot of these midwestern cities will be old and industrial.  Most had their industrial base collapse as industry went overseas.  But a lot of these cities are seeing a new resurgence as well with new investors moving in and buying old buildings, renovating them, etc.  Nothing as new and shiny as we see out on the west coast, but this is where OLD America begins.

We're getting close to Chicago, truckers.
