Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

I always wanted them to make it so we didn't need to sleep for so long.  But I believe irl truckers have to rest a designated amount of time after a certain amount of time driving. (the blog post reiterates this.)

Smart changes for players who want to play this way, but I just turn it all off.

Doing a long haul from Chicago to Los Angeles.  I am roughly following Route 66 in some places.

Player’s Company Paint Jobs

Wow, there still are features present in ETS and absent in ATS .
I think some of these paintjobs look pretty nice, maybe I will even try one.

Fjords of Iceland

Beautiful!

I really like these new paint schemes.  I never did change my scheme in ETS2 because I think they still looked good.  But I will try some of these in ATS.

There has been SO MUCH lately, it's crazy to keep up with it all.  The new paint jobs look nice. They fit the trucks well!

ATS 1.60 Open Beta

Uh oh. Looks like the rush in posting the announcement for it was for a reason. I wonder what caused them to prepare the next version so fast, do they return to 5-6 small patches a year (like they did in 2013-2015) instead of 3 bigger ones?

[Anyponedrawn]

What? Already? Are they releasing something we aren't aware of or did they just want these new changes in quickly for some reason? I better check out the SCS Forums and see what people are saying. Console release coming soon maybe?

New gas station icon. It's likely for Road Trip!! There are so many gas stations in the game that were marked but not useable. I am assuming these will be the stations.

[MasterXtreme]

It has been less than a month since 1.59 dropped.  This is amazingly fast.  Just some prep work before Road Trip and consoles.

A very minor update for Volvo

Well, this truck is already good enough (not like WS 49X with very few options at start), so these small additions for 1.60 are just for polishing its aerodynamic . Before this post, I didn’t even pay very much attention how Volvo FH6 doesn’t have these black plastic extensions on its side deflectors, as all new ETS and ATS trucks already have as default or optional parts. So, since the next patch (I think the open beta will start tomorrow) Volvo will not be an outcast here .

P.S. With the release of two latest ATS trucks, it makes me think that SCS is in good relationship with Volvo now. I hope they are friendly enough with Peterbilt as well, so the updates for 389 are coming soon.

I always do enjoy new trucks, but this little aero update should be fine, if not unnoticeable to most.

[Anyponedrawn]

Minor but good.  I thought SCS would have done the new Kenworth and Peterbilt sister trucks ages ago.  Years now, we only have one of the two.

Yes, the next beta is here

Due to short list of updates, the beta test should not be long.

I do like the new rest options.  I am shocked by how quickly this next update is for the game.
