Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I really can’t choose what part of it is more crazy — that cute wooden treasure chest or the on-board moonshine still (which can explain a lot ).

And yes, the modders have put it into Spintires.

I was surprised the seat color in the new truck couldn't change.

They should announce the new option in their blog post, since it’s really easy to miss where exactly is the circle with the seat switch (just noticed they have a truck drawn on the floor mat, and it’s not 5700XE!).

I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks!

I enjoy these type of blog posts, maybe you do too?

SCS Under The Hood: Research

[spoiler]Iceland is also spotted in this blogpost.  Very early work by SCS to do Iceland?

[flemishcap]

I like those kind of posts too.  I enjoy seeing how they do stuff.  Also NICE eye on the spoiler find.  It would be shocking if that was just some surprise they plan to release. [spoiler] Faroe Islands maybe someday too?

[RainySunshine]

That was an interesting read.

[spoiler]There are chances that UK-Iceland ferry may be the longest in the game . Also, I doubt that country is riddled with highways like Spain, but it’s still almost the same size as Bulgaria and bigger than Switzerland, or Portugal... so it means they still need a lot of time before all the scenery will be ready to release.[/spoiler]

If they did do this little island in the Atlantic, they would have to create whole new assets.... unless they can use assets from Norway?  lol?  Maybe? 

[timmelon]

[spoiler]And of course, the Fjord Fjiesta car!

The assets from Norway are almost seven years old [/spoiler]

[Wolfwood]

Seven years already? FRACK.  I'm getting so old.  lol!  I know a lot of people want Iceland, but let's be honest here... they wouldn't show us Iceland with snow and ice.  There also... visually outside of fjords, wouldn't be a whole lot to look at.  Distances between towns and villages is very very very very long. 

The Fjord Fjiesta was a pretty funny more recent joke from that show.

(they also had umlauts above MB logo )
Since we have a lot of talks about KotH when the Texas DLC was going to be released, it’s time to remember another great episodes about upcoming map expansions.
Uhmmm... what great show about Oklahoma we have?

[Wolfwood]

There was a broadway show called, "Oklahoma."  I know nothing about it.

So from my experiences of driving through Oklahoma, you usually drive through it fast and as fast as you can.  So I usually drive east across Kansas, turn south and head through Oklahoma on my way to Texas or the Gulf.  Both states are completely forgettable.  They aren't bad or anything, just... there's NOTHING there. SCS is going to have a hard time to make them interesting. 


At least Wyoming had Devil's Tower rock.  At least that was SOMETHING.  lol.

Oklahoma City is very weird in that it's an outdated looking city skyline, with all of a sudden a totally modern looking glass tower that is way too tall for the rest of the city skyline. It's so weird.

[timmelon]

So, it’s definitely not a New Mexico .

[Wolfwood]

I mean HOW DOES THIS BUILDING FIT IN WITH THE REST OF THE OUTDATED SKYLINE!?





The skyline before the 2010s, while super old and boring looking, at least flowed nicely.  It didn't have a randomly tall building that didn't match anything.  I am never going to let this go, lol.



And here is that new building being built!  It's just so out of place!




Something about Kansas and Oklahoma is that all their 'big cities' are extremely boring.

New Mexico is WEIRD.

OKC had to make it difficult for SCS.  Otherwise both Tulsa and Oklahoma City is a city of stretched rectangle skylines.  It's very forgettable.  I actually prefer Tulsa's historic buildings in its skyline.  Even though the cities aren't massive in population, they are better then what Kansas has.  Here are two pics of Tulsa.





Fun Fact: The city of Kansas City that everyone see's photos of it not in the state of Kansas!
