Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

These files were also posted in the game files.... Hmmm.  Some can be figured out, but ATS has an extra that can't be solved.  Also nice names SCS.

Could they be new upcoming trucks?

I think you are right.  Possibly the three final BIG US truck brands to be in the game.  Western Star was announced today!

You think those files could be new trucks?  Maybe one of them is new dealerships for the truck?  Do you really think they'd have three trucks all ready?  I know with Daimler North America they could have multiple brands approved quicker. Just like when they got approval from PACCAR.  I wish they would add some more models from PACCAR though.

So you think we will get Colorado this year?  Would they really release an ATS and ETS2 DLC within a few months of one another?

Well, I don’t see any reason to push the second map expansion to the next year. The team is growing, the lockdown didn’t slow down the development (as we see from SCS’s activity in April-July), so I see a good chance to get the Colorado DLC in early November, and Iberia in late November or early December (three of four latest map expansions for ETS came out at same day — December, 5). And DLC are not the only upgrades — they are constantly reworking some old parts of the map (in small portions, but it’s better than nothing) and adding new trailers — as the comments for these two screenshots from one of the latest posts say, you can see the lowboy trailer in 3- and 4-axle configuration, which could mean these trailers will be reworked or even made buyable.
(wishful thinking ahead)
Since 1.32 all trailers we can buy shared the same wheels, but the lowboy’s wheels are smaller. So, adding the lowboys to list of buyable trailers will open the road (to players garage ) for another trailers with small wheels such as stepdeck curtainsiders and dryvans.

I am thinking Colorado will be late this year or early next year still.  But I do think we'll get a truck for ATS... well... I know we will, lol.  I am really curious about those file names.  Pico Wine, Shredder, and Cowboy Bepop.  Very interesting names.

I think ETS2 will have Iberia released December 5th, as they've done many times in the past.  It seems to be their yearly Christmas release.

Bus stations.  They continue to to add bus stations and bus stops around the worlds of ETS2 and ATS.

New screenshot pack from Colorado:

Well, I think the DLC almost ready. And they are definitely going to make here some scenic overlook cutscenes like they did in Idaho.

Colorado looks really good. The mountainous parts will be fun, but we will also experience how SCS ATS will handle the plains and flatness of middle America.  Eastern Colorado is flat, flat, flat, flat, and boring.

Very nice.  Some of those pictures show a lot of things going on in ONE photo.  Also loving the details of the smaller towns.  Would love that care redone to California.

Who wants another paintjob pack?

This time it’s not only the set of 6 new paintjobs, but also the extra color presets for paintjobs from new and older DLCs.

[Silverwing]

*Raises hand*  I want a new paint jobs and upgrades to older DLCs!  I do!

I actually already bought it.   Just now!

New screenshots from Barcelona:

As the Google Map says, the location from the third screenshot contains not only that epic roundabout, but a ferry port as well!

[Silverwing]

Wow! Barcelona looks real good!

I know the ProMods people do a great job with their work, but I will always just stick with what the developers do.

[MasterXtreme]

The city looks real nice.  That port looks active.  I wonder if that ferry will be rideable?

Lol... imagine if in Gibraltar we got the option to ride a ferry to Northern Africa?   

[timmelon]

That port looks active.  I wonder if that ferry will be rideable?

I hope yes, it has a pretty diverse variety of destination points, so maybe they will make at least a route to Sardinia.
And I like to have a ferry from Santander to Plymouth — I find it very useful too.

UPD: Meanwhile, some good news have arrived, and this post contains the first mention of 1.39:

Ownable lowboy trailers!

Since that machinery is usually a high-priced cargo, this type of trailers interests me more than milk tanks or chip vans . Also, as you can see on other screenshots, the milling machine will be remade, along with tractor and excavator.

[Silverwing]

And you beat me to it again! ^

Yes, more variety for truck trailers to buy!    These will be some big ticket items to move around.

[Anyponedrawn]

No way!!! This is something I have wanted for as long as forever!  AWESOME!
