Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I haven't claimed it yet, but I will go check right now, lol.

[MasterXtreme]

Yep, I got it.   Lol.

I wish they would do more backgrounds as rewards or some editable paint schemes.

[timmelon]

...or some editable paint schemes.

...starting from Pinstripes for Peterbilt 389 .
I just love this paintscheme, but since the stripes are always the same yellow and white colors, they fit only to dark trucks.

[MasterXtreme]

Yep.  I can't believe they haven't made more classic pinstripe designs, and many others that can be edited.  We're so limited.

[timmelon]

We're so limited.

Agreed. Instagram Truck Simulator always must have the maximum content for good screenshots .
Also, some little moment I don’t like in the lighting system introduced in 2021: while the metallic paints always look cool, the non-metallic ones are great mostly indoors or under the rain (in earllier versions, the non-metallic color always was juicy).
When you make a screenshot under the sun, you must control its position to prevent fading the bright colors into their pale versions , so, it can be difficult to keep some distant background object visible and don’t overilluminate your truck at the same time.

(I love these three islands near the Helsinki port so much! It’s the first natural scenery look when you arrive into Finland this way )

Totally!  I agree.  I try to play vanilla but there are mods out there that do simple lighting changes.  The only mod I actually use is one for a free camera in screenshot mode.

PSF EVENT IDEAS?

I got some new ideas.... some silly ideas.  We obviously have WoT events and whenever a new DLC comes out, we tend to have people post photos from it... but what if we had our own PSF events?  Even if it's something as simple as "Share photos of your truck and scenery in Finland!"  Or whatever!  Lol.  Just simple cues to get people active to go do something and share?

I think that's a good idea.  We could even start with the one you used as an example.  People need to find and get interesting photos from Finland.

[timmelon]

Or... how about «Share photos of one of your trucks in five different countries»?
Maybe, even with using some landmarks, like this bridge in Zaragoza, where you can see a different level of detail at the left and the right halves .

Looks like the building company ran out of money when they were making the blue part .

[Silverwing]

Lol!  I see some good potential here.  So lets say for example, we had an "Event" where we said, take a picture of your truck next to [insert landmark here].  It would be interesting to see how people take photos of their truck and the landmark, and how different they would be.

I am all for this PSF Trucking Events! Who would determine the first event? A non-bias party?  Community vote?  Draw of straws?  lol  @Darrin or @Smiles2us we might need you, lol.

[Anyponedrawn]

That was the easiest trucking event I've ever done. They only made it 7 deliveries so I am all for our OWN kind of trucking event.

[Silverwing]

^ Yes, that trucking event was laughably easy.  I finished it in just two driving sessions.

[Anyponedrawn]

Okay... so lets plan this out.  Start naming landmarks or a location people should photograph.

Sadly there are no real landmarks in Finland in-game other than some buildings.  Soo... What about the Narva Hermann Castle? In Narva.

Nvm, probably not the best for photos.

One more country is being reworked!

(SCS Twitter page with video)

So, we are happy with recent rework of Austria, and here is another country being updated — Switzerland! Since it’s one of the earliest parts of ETS map and its road network is laughably small, I hope the length of available motorways can grow twice!

[FoxTail]

Switzerland was brought up earlier as being reworked according to someone on here.  I don't remember who.  But that will be a beautiful country to see with all it's mountains, lakes, and valleys!  I'm pretty excited to see this one.
