Here are two videos I recently watched about it.

Interesting .
At my home, there are no such big traffic and such amount of concrete factories, so the most interchanges are very compact cloverleafs, which make you reduce your speed almost to zero .

I don't now if those frontage roads Texas employs are a good idea.  I mean they separate entire communities between so much asphalt/concrete!  How do you get to the other side on foot?  Even in a car!  It's so overwhelming and expensive looking to build!

Next stop is Travemünde!

My favorite ferry is from Travemünde to Helsinki, and they say there will be one more ferry, and the actual city in addition to existing port. I like this very much, and even seeing a new lake with dirty water don’t make me less happy about the upcoming map update (I guess we may see it in 1.48) .

SCS April 22 Stream Reveals Their Future Plans, New Trucks, and Just What They Did Traveling The USA Again

LOTS of news today.  The April 22 ATS Stream did not disappoint.  New trucks, big plans.  SCS went to Seattle and Portland again with more talks to PACCAR and Daimler North America.  They seem pretty excited about the new sound and new trucks in the works. They also went to Volvo North America in relation to the VNL. 

This video goes over some of the new info from the stream.  They will probably talk about the rest of it in another video.   Lots and LOTS of great info as we predicted.

Once the stream is posted to Youtube, I am sure we will post it.

So hyped from seeing that video!  There is still so much truck content in the future!  It seems like their relations with all these American trucking manufacturers is really good!  We now know they officially are talking to them all and have friendly relations.  The same can't be said with the Euro companies.... IVECO....

Nice news here!!!   How does this game always get me excited? 

[timmelon]

Even the developers themselves understand what truck is the most desired for now .

I wonder, will be a stream with people from MAN Trucks at the day of its release?

SCS April 22 Stream Reveals Their Future Plans...

I plan to listen to the stream once it's posted on YT.  I really want to see the new PACCAR trucks as well as the new VNL.

[MasterXtreme]

Yeah we do have a new truck coming.  Several as a matter of fact... the others will just come later in the year.

Black tanks in various sizes!

(SCS Twitter post with video)

These reservoires are exactly opposite to American fuel tank trailers . When we are forced to keep the most of trailer’s surface chromed, they just paint it black (get away from my head, song! ) like there is no summer sun.

Okay, okay, hear me out here.  When I was a kid I used to watch Thomas the Tank Engine.  I remember VIVIDLY there were tanker cars in that show that were black and read "TAR" or "OIL" along the sides.  This is what these remind me of.

To prove I am not insane...

Tar Car

Oil Car

Why on earth is a truck game making me talk about trains.... and Thomas the Tank Engine?

[timmelon]

Another landmark compilation!

Time to open the maps of Kansas .
They have three posts in four days — I hope the developing activity now is as high as posting.

P.S. While the stream with new announcement is still on the way to YT, you can look at the Steampunk DLC stream (turns out it’s 500th video on their channel ):

[MasterXtreme]

Let's see... Kansas.... flat and empty....   flat and empty....   flat and empty....  and....  flat and empty....   Well this narrows it down.

[Anyponedrawn]

Kansas is not a state I know about.  Too much flat land to really tell anything apart.
