Does it?  I've never actually checked if it changes your character model.

Today we have one-minute video with presentation of one of hidden roads in Montana. No blog posts, only a Twitter.

Montana map revealed...

Hopefully they will eventually go back and add more challenging roads in other states!  That video had some truly fantastic looking challenging roads.

Hmm... I see no connection between Salmon and Butte despite there are MT-43 there. Maybe, it will be one of hidden roads ;D.

We are so close to the DLC. I'm excited.

So I turned off the XXXXXXX on roads we can't enter.  I was worried I would run into certain invisible barriers, but I haven't yet.  It's really added to the immersion. :)

So, in addition to heavy-duty 49X we have its true-highway brother with plastic sideskirts, plastic bumper, digital dashboard, only two- or three-axle chassis (unlike three- or four- axle options for 49X) and more streamlined look with a lot of optional black plastic parts (plus two types of interior have the black leather seats) — even the mirror mounts are black, so you can built your own bat-truck!

Well, not 100% bat-truck, because that little fender in front of the rear wheels is chromed without any other options ::).
Of course, the new 57X shares a lot of parts with Cascadia, like aerodynamic parts or sleeper roof (but they took away the small window, maybe, not everybody liked it), while the doors or cabin rear wall (or all sounds ;D) are taken from 49X. Also, now I can’t buy Eaton 18-speed gearbox — only Detroit engine and drivetrain is available.
Another new detail is likely to be hidden by sideskirts, but it was too eye-catching during the presentation ;D — the aluminium battery box cover now is a victim of battle for weight reduction ;D (chromed one remains solid).

I can say I like the straight lines on new Western Star’s face more than curves of its Freightliner counterpart. The strange thing is an unability to install any sideskirts if you have a daycab with 160-gallon tanks — if you want to improve your aerodynamics, choose 120 gallons or sleeper cab ::|. But anyway, last months I have driven the long trucks too much, so, I am going to explore Montana with that minimalistic setup:

Here is the official Western Star video on the new truck as well. :D  It is possible SCS may have helped with that tiny bit of CGI in the beginning.

 

This truck is incredible looking!!!! Really good information provided above too, Tim!!! Thanks.


Is this the first truck to release on the exact same day as the real truck?  ATS has been having these really close partnerships lately and I love it.  ETS2 is now just playing catch up, months, if not, years behind. :-\

Got the 1.45 update.  Got the truck.  Now we just need Montana.

Montana will reportedly have.....

12 hidden roads
.....the most of any DLC.  I bet they will go back slowly and add more to previous states eventually.

This is a great looking truck.

The day cab formation looks nice too.  Timmelon will be sleeping across the seats. ;D

I love how that aluminum battery box looks.  How come we don't have more pieces that can have that texture?

I think so. 49X became available the next day after the presentation (which was on WS site), also, we had Renault T Evolution release the same day with SCS Twitch presentation stream, but it was only a facelift of existing model.

We have something similar on European trucks, but they had one hole size for full plate, while WS cover have a big variety of holes ;D.
