I have an issue.

So like.... um.  I made a big mistake, took a job, and the trailer is too long in the depot and I'm stuck... but I don't want to quit the job because doesn't that penalize me?  I've never had to cancel a job before.

You could try loading a previous autosave?

That didn't work because I am in an external contract.  It just changed the time of day.

Ok, unhitch the trailer and try approaching it at a different angle (example, a 90 degree angle).  See which position is most advantageous for you to get out and exploit it.

^ Thank you!! That worked.  I was trying to leave while attached naturally from when I backed in, but I needed to back in at a whole different angle and I could make it.  I didn't think they'd do that in this game. It was so tight, and even still, I scraped the side of these pillars.  Luckily no damage as I was going so slow.

  Right on.  There are some depots that are very challenging.

Western Balkans truck stops

I was expecting a post about ATS, but the screenshots with WB scenery are even better. I think ETS deserves to be awarded for the best map DLC this year — even without any information about the road network and number of the cities, the fresh-looking scenery and buildings are superior for me .
Also, I like that wooden fence .

[Grapefoot]

I love the colorful banners and signs in that first pic above. 

The scenery is so refreshing to the flat nothing we've been getting in ATS.  It's neat to see something different.

I am really loving what we are seeing out of WB.

Very promising blog post.   I'm getting more and more hyped for this.

This is a silly question, but is there a gas station design within ETS that people like more than others?

[timmelon]

I think it’s the one with the easiest access to its refill point . The same with ATS.
I don’t like the gas station with a lot of tight curves, which sometimes require to detach my 94' trailer set, or else it can stuck .

[RainySunshine]

^ Agreed.  I still can think of one of the worst roads in both games with the worst gas station.  The original Oakland Port location with the horrible sharp corners and the world's worst gas station for big trucks coming in and out of the port.

Curious how they will update this location in the rework.

Also West Balkans is down to SIX updates left!!!

That is one of the worst areas in the game.  First of all, no shipping port would have such a poorly made entrance and road to get to the port, especially one of America's top ten busiest seaports, lol.  That really needs to be redone.

Also that right-turn road into the Port of Tacoma is awful.  Who decided to do that at SCS?  LOL?  I usually just skip it and take the main road, then turn right.

[Wolfwood]

That means WB could be roughly coming out in September of November.  That lines up.

In the OK Stream, there was a TON of info we have not been talking about.  Pavel said a lot of stuff is coming, especially for ATS. He said there is more content coming for the rest of this year and the start of next year than they've ever had. He also said they are closer to possibly other vehicles to drive in the future for both games.  More than just trucks.
