Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

Let’s see what AP 101 Gaming channel will say .

It would seem AP 101 Gaming is just as confused as everyone else.  Also confirms what others have said about it being a Ram Hemi engine noise.

Personally, pickup trucks don't make much sense to me in the game.  I think it is NPC traffic noises.  But if pickups do enter the fray, talk about a unique feature for ATS.  Might draw in new players and totally different players who don't necessarily car about just semi trucks.  Imagine if Ram or GMC or something brought their trucks to the game which could be somewhat modified.  I think that would be neat, especially for smaller cargo hauls.  But SCS would need to expand some road areas I think too, with pickups being more nimble.

Pickups higher speeds (if not following the road rules) can also make the map scale seem smaller.

I'm really not thinking it is drivable trucks.

First Thursday of April!

The earliest ATS map expansion release (1.5 months earlier than Nebraska last year!) makes me wonder if they are finally going to make three states per year .
Also, I expect the 1.54 update next week, for both games.

April 3rd, let's go!!!

I would like drivable pickups if they get the feel right.  It could just be dynamic sounds or Ai traffic as well. It certainly wasn't bus noises . . . maybe a work van?

[Tüsszent]

The engine noises are very confusing to me.  Could it really be a truck or van?

It is called American TRUCK Simulator.  That would entail normal American trucks, or as we call them in Europe, "pickup trucks."

I better be able to drive to the top of the Gateway Arch!!! j/k

Update.

SCS Software says they enjoy us trying to figure out what the "truck sounds" mean. They say we are all pretty much wrong. They enjoy our suffering.

Special Transport update

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

In case if someone of you use this DLC , you may be interested in a traditional pre-release post with announcement of new routes for oversized cargoes in Missouri.
Also, one new cargo — some big electric loader for these mines and underground warehouses.

[FoxTail]

Those are some heavy duty loads.  Wow.

[Silverwing]

Always down for more special transports.   I really wish this game had more dangerous weather and wind, which would make some of these challenges a lot of fun!

So we all have no idea what the sound is for then still.  That kind of blows my mind.  How are we all looking over it?  It has to be Ai sounds then, but SCS said we were pretty much all wrong.

I don’t know if this update will be ready till the end of this year, but of course, I would like to see «one new part plus one reworked part» this year as well. These countries are not very big, even if the reworked road layout will surely be more dense than the original one, as it was done with Austria and Switzerland.

Are we sure those aren't engine sounds for semi trucks?  I guess they don't sound right.  But it could mean they are recording all new sounds in general.

I actually don't know what it could be.  If it isn't a driveable truck, it just has to be sound effects.  Anything else would disappoint people who over-hyped this rather innocent teaser.
