This is making those German names seem easy now.

[timmelon]

Well, some Polish names can also be tricky for the foreign people.

It sounds normally (please turn on the EN subtitles), but looks scary on a writing .

[MasterXtreme]

^ I'm not even going to try that, lol.

@MasterXtreme You called? 

Oh yeah, the length of German words!... I'm not familiar with your topic here, but if we speak of surnames, there are quite a few ones that are long and complicated. Let me think... Hallmackenreuther, Diebelshauser, Wechselberger... And then there are many people (especially women) who have a double surname, mostly because they didn't want to give up their name after getting married, which makes sense, but it also makes things more complicated. Some fictitious examples: Anna Dinkelsberg-Hornfelder, Luise Schönborn-Königstein... Things like that.

I did Ms. @kiku.  Thank you for your enlightening response.  I really appreciate it.   It gives us a little insight.

Back in the world of trucking, on Monday the 15th of January, SCS will have a livestream and reveal their new steering wheel DLC content for ATS.  It is likely they will have it all be available after the stream.

[timmelon]

Looking forward to the new steering wheels, since I use the Steering Creations DLC content a lot. Although I prefer more calm design, not some crazy solutions like flames, revolvers or skulls. The only more-or-less crazy wheel was in my yellow W900 used for Oklahoma exploring .

[Grapefoot]

Wow, I didn't realize your used the steering creations.  I never use them because I never think they match my truck.  Does anyone else here use them? 

[timmelon]

Wow, I didn't realize your used the steering creations.

Actually, I’m using SCI products since the first bought truck in ATS . If you see my truck with its own steering wheel — it’s either Mack Anthem or older Volvo VNL.

[Graymist]

Nope.  I don't personally care for the designs on the SCI pack, but I own it.  

[timmelon]

^I own the Special Transport DLC, but I don’t even remember when I made the special delivery last time .
Too slow for me.

[Silverwing]

I can not say I use the steering wheels.  I prefer the OEM ones with all the buttons for random things on them.

I have a random urge to do a heavy haul special delivery right now.  I forget they exist because I only do external contracts.  I wish they'd just allow external contracts to haul everything as the normal game.

[MasterXtreme]

I use the standard steering wheel that comes with the truck I buy because I want to have access to the buttons on the steering wheel such ascribe control and volume for the radio.  I am not partial to many of the designs that SCI has for the steering wheels, but they'd blend right in to a fully modified W900 with chrome and wild paint job.

[timmelon]

So, here is the update!

Not a good presentation since the photos and video also show some older wheels, but forget about some of the new ones .
I don’t really know what truck interior is matching to the new blue or bone-colored three-spoke wheels, but... the wheel with a bright wood looks good with the bright wood trim presented last year for W900:

Also, now we have several more «classic» steering wheels with thinner 20" rim instead of modern thicc 18" rims.

I think they also can be useful . At least, they obscure fewer dials on the screenshot.

Is that blue background a new Western Star?
