The MAN TGX is nice.... BUT WOW!  Look at Santa Cruz!  Now that is a fantastic improvement!

Also it is worth noting that SCS will be reworking all the old MAN's.  Much like SCS is doing with Kenworth.

Many people are complaining on the ETS2 side of the SCS Forums about some bug in the MAN TGX mirror?  I haven't had any issue yet.  But I already stopped driving the truck.  I don't like it as much as some of my other trucks.

This is one of the longer waits between blog posts we've had in recent memory.  Last one came out May 17th and it is May 23rd now.  It shows you how spoiled we've become for blog posts.  It's a lot of work for them to have to make those, it's not like they happen at the snap of one's fingers.

We are supposed to drive the new MAN, not expect the new posts .

Although someone catches the level in ATS, going to drive the new ETS truck a little later .

I like how your truck is blocking an entire intersection while waiting for that train.

The barrier started to close after I did the left turn.

[MasterXtreme]

It's okay, those people can wait. It's not like they have jobs or places to go.

Aircraft engines are the primary cargo.

You get the right-of-way!  Screw everyone else!

One more ETS trailer brand!

Honestly, I didn’t know about TIRSAN trailers until today . Anyway, it’s good that SCS earns more and more licences, even if these trailers may not be everyone’s favourite due to being designed for low-profitable cargoes like bricks or sand. Since this will be the fifth trailer manufacturer for ETS (after three existing ones and upcoming Wielton), and ATS has only one (with two brand names ), I predict some American trailer manufacturer may be the source of «when...?» questions next year.

It might just be me, but the addition of trailer brands is the least of things I care about.  They sort of all look the same and function the same (at least within game).  But food for them signing on new brands to be represented.  I know it's exciting for many of these companies who would have otherwise never thought they'd be seen by a wider audience outside of the trucking business.

Oooh!  Cool photo! Colorado, right?

Hmm... it was made during the delivery from Primm to Lewistown, and... I don’t remember all the route .

I think every DLC which is not a map expansion is very, very optional.

[RainySunshine]

I guess if I had to be honest, my favorite additions are map expansions and map-reworks.  Those would be followed by new or reworked trucks.

But there are so many things I have also loved such as camera mode changes and improvements, new icons, better lighting, new companies and depots, etc.  Hmmm.  I didn't even mention trailers.  I guess I kind of forget about brand name trailers too.  Sadly, I put more thought into the brand name tires then I do trailers.   Every truck I buy has either Goodyears or Michelins.  I rarely buy trailers anymore and if they are a name-brand trailer I deliver from one depot to the next, I don't even notice.

[timmelon]

Most of my trailers are also from non-DLC content, although every trailer pack has something I buy one per every garage when its design fits to the current truck look... like fully aluminium Lode King for full white trucks or red Schwarzmüller with red mudflaps for red trucks. As for the tires, my only concern was about the paintable letters on them, so I am fully satisfied with only one existing Goodyear DLC and don’t require more .

P.S. Since I can easily forget where have I made the screenshots, it can be a good idea to have at least one name at the background .
