Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

^Strange, but in ETS it’s easier to pick the right wheel color than in ATS, where the wheels are a little shinier. The orange around the palm tree is the same as on the wheels, but under the daylight the wheels have more red.

I am sure you have a massive gallery of every truck you've ever made. 

[timmelon]

No, there can be a whole garage of my trucks never caught on photo.
My current European truck also has painted wheels .

If you are European, you can’t use the same wheel model for your truck and trailer, and if you are American, you can’t have the roof headlamps (except for older Volvo). Both of these moments make me sad sometimes .

[Wolfwood]

It would be so nice to be able to do both in both games.

Oh well though.

So we can expect one more ATS Map DLC this year.... maybe?

We will be getting WB in ETS2 this year. 

[timmelon]

I think there will be only Kansas, and, maybe, a couple of updates for a current map.
For ETS, I expect to see both Switzerland and Balkans at the end of this year.

[RainySunshine]

We've already had new trucks and many map DLCs for ATS this year.  I don't expect too much more, lol.

I expect Balkans and Switzerland for ETS.

[timmelon]

...and, maybe, the current Volvo FH or Mercedes Actros .
Sadly, but I don’t expect the Iveco tuning pack for soon.

P.S. There was a stream yesterday, with one hour of Balkans.

I hope it will be uploaded to YT soon. There was some good scenery in coastal area... and, a man who apparently was trying to teach his dog .
UPD:

More water bodies! This time from Kansas

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

Two posts with water bodies in a row, but of course, ETS one impresses me more. Anyway, the fields and forests still look good.

[RainySunshine]

Water.


Yep, that's all I can think of saying.

[timmelon]

Half-update... or semi-update?

So... let’s continue *TS discussion in more correct topic . Today we have a «maintenance update open beta» v. 1.48.5 — it‘s still 1.48, but with a small map update. As you can see on the screenshots, two Italian cities have got their ports, and the third one was added to the map. Now all three ports are connected only with each other, but there will be several connection with WB ports — at least, Split was officially confirmed in Monday stream. I think the full 1.49 will be released in late October or early November, and the map DLC will be ready one week later.

[RainySunshine]

I like more ports, but it will be easier to cheese long distances with ferries. 

[Graymist]

Nice!  That is nice.  Also this means WB is super close.  Will it release this month or next month? 

[Anyponedrawn]

I cannot wait to drive on some WB roads (and ferries!)

[timmelon]

Also this means WB is super close.  Will it release this month or next month?

100% not September .
I would like to have more freedom to camera movement in photo mode. The upcoming DLC must be more screenshot-worthy than Iberia.

I would like to have more freedom to camera movement in photo mode. The upcoming DLC must be more screenshot-worthy than Iberia.

The only mod I have had installed in my Trucking Sim games is a free-camera mode mod for the in-game camera.  It just allows you to move the camera further and have more control of it.  I'd consider it a 'vanilla' mod.

There are many to choose from.  Here is some for ETS.
