Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

[MasterXtreme]

I don't even know what new trucks are coming anymore. Too many.

I guess we got to look back at blog posts. I don't even know how they keep track of it all. There is so much.

Love seeing that UK rework news! Finally. Probably the country I am most excited about in Europe... uhhh.... let's just say the UK is still Europe to make this easy.

Peoria

Even if those skylines may resemble the real Google Maps views, I prefer the natural scenery .

That is an ugly building in the front of that skyline. Blocks the whole thing!

Karlstad

It’s not 2016 or 2017, so we see almost equally green terrain in both ETS and ATS . But, since the rework of Route 66 area is already announced, we may see a lot of new desert landscape for ATS in the future.

The greenery around Karlstad looks lovely.

The upcoming screenshots get me so excited for the new content coming to both games! I just plunked down a chunk of money and am replacing my 12 year old gaming computer. Starting all new. Can't wait to see how it changes my driving experience! I will get more than 30fps!!! That will be neat.

What are you getting?

I ended up getting a computer to build on my own using PC Part Picker.  I ended up with a Gigabyte 5070 Ti with an Intel i7.  Should last another decade. I bought this because 1. I want to truck in HD glory, and 2. Grand Theft Auto VI.

That will be MORE than enough to enjoy this game at every setting on max. Should be more than enough for GTA VI too!

5070 Ti with an Intel i7

Congratulations!
I hope this is not paired with the 19" monitor (which, technically, is also may be Full HD ).

Congrats on the new computer! I am sure it will be great

Also, I just had a look at the price list... so, my 34" 21:9 monitor is about 1/3 of the price of your new video card . I have bought it almost five years ago, and now I consider this size as the starting point ... if there are enough room for it, of course.
But, 16:9 is still much more versatile aspect ratio — lots of modern games still don’t have the Ultrawide support. So, 55" TV (it has exactly the same width as the table where my trucksim monitor stands ) would be my choice if I didn’t have my current setup and wanted to follow the typical YouTube sim gamer. In general, the current video card prices make me fear the expensive monitors much less than years ago when I was buying what I have now.

SCS revealed a massive spoiler for ANOTHER upcoming DLC.  I won't spoil it until they make their official announcement and blog post.  It was revealed at a gaming convention.  You can see it HERE.

More Dynamic Loading and Introducing Ireland

They don’t stop posting every day, so, we have two news, and one of them is much more interesting .

No more black holes in Western Europe map after adding the country of Guinness and Ryanair. Despite the smaller size than Iceland, Ireland surely must have much more motorways to drive, so we may see the highest road density SCS have ever done. I believe those people at the screenshot with Giant’s Causeway basalt columns are looking for that very POV where the photo for Houses of the Holy album cover was taken. Also, it must be a great location for filming the live-action Soltsheim roleplaying .

WOOO!!! Ireland!!! Oh my gosh!! Finally we can get what most consider all of Europe included!

Nice job getting that early!
