Even after the official date announcement, they still have one final screenshot post left .

Special Transport routes and Yellowstone Park

[flemishcap]

Of course they would!  Lol!

[flemishcap]

Okay, question for everyone so we can get some interaction going here!

WHAT IS YOUR TOP WORK TRUCK?

This might not be your favorite truck, but it's the truck you feel most confident about.  It's always reliable, and it will tackle any load you throw at it.  It will push through whether it's rain or muddy roads.  This is your work truck, and it's always ready to work.  What is it for you?

ETS2:
ATS:

It appears the pick for a work truck in ATS is unanimous, and it goes to Western Star.

Now when we DO switch this question to everyone's optimal Highway truck, I think it will be much more varied.

I can already see it now... a comment saying, "this game is so UNREALISTIC!  You aren't allowed to drive semi trucks through Yellowstone... blah blah blah blah...."

[MasterXtreme]

It seems like many have posted their favorite heavy duty work truck... but before I straight up ask what your favorite truck is... lets try something else.


What is your LEAST favorite truck in ETS2 and ATS?  Choose one for each game.  You can also choose one truck you dislike over any other truck in both games on top of that.    That must be a pretty extreme dislike if you choose to do that.

Greeeaaat.  The day Wyoming comes out, I have the telephone company coming out to redo wiring in my neighborhood and I won't have internet most of that day!  I can't download it.  Lol.

[Graymist]

Sorry about that, Grapefoot. 

I will play it extra hard for you.

[Silverwing]

One day away...

Hey, you'll get it the next day, Grapefoot.

Cruising Wyoming Trucking Event!

SCS Blog Post

Help us celebrate tomorrow, September 7th, as we release our new Wyoming DLC, by taking part in our latest World Of Trucks event - Cruising Wyoming! Journey through this dynamic and awe-inspiring state of wild beauty, dominated by the Rocky Mountain rangelands and High Plains, while contributing to its rich economy.

We are asking our #BestCommunityEver to achieve the community goal of driving 80,000,000 miles while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Wyoming.

RULES


Using External Contracts or the External Market, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in American Truck Simulator, the community goal is to drive 80,000,000 miles (128,747,520 km) while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Wyoming.

When a player completes delivery to or from each of the 10 Wyoming cities, they will achieve their personal goal.

All jobs for the event need to be at least 100 miles each (161 km), or more.

You can check if your recent deliveries met these conditions using your Log Book in your World of Trucks profile.

REWARDS


Personal goal: Players that deliver cargo to or from each of the 10 Wyoming cities will gain a personal World of Trucks Achievement and a beautiful Wyoming Bison-themed ATS truck paint job Steam inventory item.

Community goal: When the community goal of driving 80,000,000 miles (128,747,520 km) during deliveries to or from any of the 10 cities in Wyoming is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal, then they will receive a hanging Jade Bison ornament Steam inventory item.

The event will be concluded on Sunday the 7th of November at 23:59 UTC.

Hmm, I wrote something similar ten months ago, but the things happen exactly the same way again!
See for yourself:
new truck... check
new trailer... check
new state... check!!!

So, let’s get in the 10th truck and go to the 10th state!

I declare the screenshot week (or even month )! I guess here will be a lot of pictures in the next posts, especially from @flemishcap and @Captain Ridiculous.
So, I’ll start:

Of course, there was a strong wind sign, although I more wanted to see a classic joke about Wyoming wind :

Also, there is an interesting settlement with three filling station, and none of them are available for a player:

(I was driving pass them with 7 gallons of fuel at that moment and they could be very handy . Eventually I was forced to use an emergency refuel)

[MasterXtreme]

I'm liking the photos, Timmelon!  I can't wait to drive and see myself.  Your truck isn't red?  Or is it?  It sort of looks orange.

I hate it when they have gas stations we can't access.  Just let us access them.

[RainySunshine]

Can't wait to try it out!  I'm loving the photos, Timmelon.

[Captain Ridiculous]

Oh you know I will!  Lol! Love the photos and it seems like you've seen a good number of things is this vast, empty state!  From first impressions, I am impressed with the electronic signs.  I didn't know such a rural state had those.   So my time is very limited so far, but I did pull in a delivery from Oregon to Wyoming and here is what I saw so far.

Wyoming.... is vast and empty.




And I love it so far.

When the tallest building in the state is roughly 8 floors high, I know I am in for a great time!



I noticed this auto museum in the first town I drove into.  The horse reminds me of the horse from Mobil1 car-care products.



I couldn't but noticed that AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULAOR (ATS) is now a new bank asset! 



This bank is inspired from Chase Banks that dot the landscape of the US.  I do like the lion logo they use here.



And this was funny.  I couldn't help but notice this man playing basketball at his house.  He has a large modest American home.  Appears to be middle class and living well.  He also funnily enough owns TWO Jeeps and has a THREE car garage that he doesn't park the Jeep Wranglers in.

Again, I've only really seen one town so far and I've already found a handful of fun things.  I will keep looking on my next play through!

I was experimenting with orange metallic, but it turned out too dark and looks a bit brown in a dark lighting .

From first impressions, I am impressed with the electronic signs.  I didn't know such a rural state had those.

They spent so much money on boom barriers, speed limit and «CLOSED WHEN FLASHING» signs, so apparently they cannot buy enough paint for road surface marking — I have already got a few tickets for red light because there are crossings like that without stop lines , also, left turn lane arrows can be rare too.

Wyoming.... is vast and empty.

That empty areas are good for paragliding .
Anyway, I like this state too and have discovered all the cities at that moment (there are only ten of them, unlike forty-five from Iberia DLC), although, I still have not seen some landmarks mentioned in blog posts.
BTW, there was a small correction patch today — yesterday RM doubles and B-doubles were not available for Wyoming garages (I bought one in Gillette), and the fresh update had it corrected.
And some more pictures from me:

This is the wild west!  They have their priorities!  Cars and trucks are second the horses and livestock.
