Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

My 2023 ATS profile has already started!

The funny thing is since I started from Texas, for the first 8 levels in «Quick Jobs» menu, the most high-priced delivery was a Frac Tank. So, I have hauled 7 Frac Tanks out of my 8 first deliveries .

Happy New Year truckers!

Who you calling a trucker?  lol j/k!  Happy new year!

Pertaining to game development...

[spoiler]The ETS2 staff working on West Balkans is actually still in the early stages of development.  They are further behind on completion compared to the ATS team working on Oklahoma and the one working on Kansas.  We might actually see OK and KS DLC release before WB. 

[timmelon]

In another words...

[spoiler]We can see the return to usual schedule of releasing the ETS DLCs after the ATS ones, like in 2016-2019. [/spoiler]

[MasterXtreme]

[spoiler]Essentially.... yes. 

The one unknown is still HoR.

[timmelon]

Well, I expect a good portion of non-map content .
A lot of new stuff is coming.

[MasterXtreme]

Yes new trucks and trailers. 

[timmelon]

And... maybe, some new unexpected additions or corrections. Something we didn’t notice before, but love after the update.
But not so ridiculously minor as new bumper for Krone trailers or licensed JOST fifth wheels .

I just experienced two HORRIBLE depots in the same city!  We all think the old Trameri depots are bad, these take it to a new level in terms of being tight. 

Both in the city of A Coruna, Spain.

The Exomar depot and the Cantera Iberica depot.   One is neat in terms that you see elevation changes, but for a trucking depot, they didn't plan it well as it's super tight.  The Cantera Iberica depot is also TERRIBLE because to access it you have to drive through very tight, single land, urban streets with on-street parking.  It's very tight but neat.

I agree, it can look weird when you are allowed to carry doubles in the country, but not every base from that country are optimised for entering or exiting with that trailer .

I have only done the Exomar location so far.  I will have to try that other one.  

[Grapefoot]

I need to try both of these out now.  Sounds pretty interesting.

First blog post of the year!

So, after they have shown us those photos spotted in the stream, it’s time to look closer at the teaser of Kansas DLC, also shown that day. If my eye is sharp enough, that green sign says «Colby».

Hmmm... The first teaser for Washington DLC had some guitar riff born in those lands. Will the upcoming DLC  have at least one small reference to the eponymous band?

[Grapefoot]

Colby is a street in Everett in the Washington DLC.  I don't know why, but I always remember seeing that road sign.

There is a band called KANSAS?    J/K don't hurt me.

[MasterXtreme]

Hey, an official release of this scene!  Those of us who watched the stream had an early preview.
