Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

This looks like a pretty DLC.  I like that mediterranean vibe it has going on climactically.

I think I may have discovered a building the ETS2 crew took from ATS and stuck in the city of Tirane, Albania.  Look behind the red building at the 70's looking structure with vertical while lines from top to bottom.  That building I am pretty sure was directly lifted from ATS's Portland, Oregon. Of course they modernized the textures a bit though.



Here is a real picture of Portland, Oregon and you can see the building beside the stepped red tower building.



I tried to find where this photo was taken in the Albanian city, or even just that building, BUT I could not find it.  Not a lot of photos.  So here is a random photo of Tirane's core city.

^Well, maybe they are just similar-looking buildings.

Meanwhile, the developers have realized that declared system requirements became obsolete after years of graphic improvement, and the table of SR have been updated.

I can say it’s better late than never, and the newcomers will complain not so much . Interestingly, the older recommended video card is close to what I had in 2012-2019 (my VC was GTX 670, really similar in performance with GTX 760), and the current recommended video card is exactly what I have since 2019 . So, I can confirm that 1660 is... fine, and I am not going to replace it for now.
Speaking of video cards... I see ASUS names their cards with the smallest cooling system as Phoenix . Looks like a tempting fate... like UltraFire Li-Ion batteries or Sparkman PSU.

^ I was wondering if they'd ever update this, lol.

Very similar building indeed.

Oh look, my computer can still run it.  Time is getting short for this computer i have though.

Every year, every new game, I wonder how much longer I can keep playing games.  I keep lowering settings.

I wonder what kind of info we will get this week?  Pretty sure we will get some open beta news and WB release getting even closer.  When WB releases, we will probably get a trucking event for Halloween too.

Wow, this topic IS about to be 50% of this whole board's activity in terms of views!  Not posts yet.

This is wild.  The next biggest topics are the GTA and Playstation topics, and while they have a ton of views and comments too, they are nowhere neat TSGD!!

Some thoughts about the picture I gave link in another topic...

(like what Eaton Fuller gearbox do in DAF 105?)
...after searching for «DAF Eaton Fuller» in Google, have led me to this photo I found funny.

As you can see, not only in *TS games, but also IRL there are people who like the US cabovers so much so they can repaint their own trucks as Peterbilt 362 lookalikes . Luckily, we still have a lot of American classic truckshows as source of inspiration.

Too bad the trucks like this will probably be available for ATS only as mods because there are no plans to add them officially.

It's sad because the cabover trucks are still made in the US for Kenworth and Peterbilt, and probably others, but they only sell them in Australia and other countries.

This is wild.  The next biggest topics are the GTA and Playstation topics, and while they have a ton of views and comments too, they are nowhere near TSGD!!

We will rule the board, then the website. 

[Silverwing]

Just two more topics left for WB. My prediction is we will get a post this week, followed by another topic next week and a live stream sometime in the next three weeks.

The annual post for Pinktober

[MasterXtreme]

Oh, I forgot about this annual event.  It's nice they are still doing it though. ALL DLC proceeds go to help fight Breast Cancer.    Good cause.
