I am sure the creators with ETS2 was still just called ETS.
I think it’s normal for plotless games, when the next game is an evolution of previous one. It’s just a ETS 2.0 ;D. So when a new engine will be ready, it will become 3.0, but we will continue to call it just ETS.
Due to the lack of Google Streetview, will Asia Truck Sim or an Africa/South America Truck sim ever be possible?  Thoughts, speculation....
The company is growing, so maybe they will have their own street photographers in the future ;D.

So it seems doubtful any new truck brands from these regions will make it in to ETS2. 
A lot of vehicles not from Europe or America are just clones of big brand products ;D.

I recently got a proper wheel and seat setup just in time for 1.40 and I love the new lighting. It's nice being able to play the game without reshade.

IIRC they have traveled to expansion locations in the past, so I think SCS could do it if they wanted to.

Oh, that’s great! And what monitor do you use? Something like that or more modest one?

If compare to 2014-2016 versions, there are a lot of mods which became unnessessary ;D.

Oh nothing that elaborate, it's just a metal wheel stand that sits in front of the TV. It's a 45" screen but it's a good distance away from where I sit. It could be better, but I think having a consistent setup is better than mounting the wheel to my desk everytime I want to play a sim.

Oh, it sounds so familiar to me ;D. I also moved from this to this to separate the sim area from working area.

Yeah I can relate to that. I can't have it under a desk now with the seat attached, so I bought a wireless keyboard/trackpad that just sits in my lap.

I'm interested in the shifter setup, where do you find a shifter handle like that?

There are some people in both Europe and US who adapt handles to the PC and sell them for 100-150 dollars (google Almar SKRS for example).
Mine is made by myself (true geeky approach 8)) — back in 2017 I bought an Arduino board (it’s in the white box under the monitor, the USB cable connects it to the computer, and the white thick cable goes to the handle), a Scania handle from truck parts shop ;D, then made some rewiring and programming. The handles sold by Almar and others have the built-in board and the USB cable comes right from the handle, so they look like normal PC accessory, so it’s a better choice for not a geek. My geeky handle is more than two times cheaper, have a minimum height (long handles are harmful for weak Logitech shifter) and I know how to repair it by myself (the switches were replaced after a year of usage, other parts work perfectly).

If you have some skills in soldering and work with Arduino, the making of not-for-sell handle is pretty easy, I just needed some study on Youtube and GitHub. The Scania (or other brands with electrical switches) handle is easy to adapt, but if you choose some Eaton handle, you will need also make your own switches — usually from a magnet and Hall sensor, which can outlive any PC accessory ;D — and that part of the work is much harder.

Nice, I thought about doing that myself since the ones being sold are so expensive. I wasn't sure where to start, but now I'm going to look into it.

I have been to the real life Jackson, Wyoming when visiting Yellowstone National Park.  I can confirm how good they have captured the small downtown core of the town!  It looks really good.

The Wyoming photos really look good.  I love the car they can spend on each state.  The attention to detail truly shows.

Iberia coming out Thursday, April 15th or possibly the Thursday after that on the 22nd.  I am pretty confident on that estimate.
