Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

^By the way... that almost nonexistent fence around the road should imply that there are very low speed limit in that area .
Otherwise, drowning your truck will be easy as in Hard Truck 2, whis was added into Steam yesterday... after 25 years since its release .

The photos make Ireland look like a boggy watery landscape.

Not only Finland is allowed to have a bunch of lakes .

UPD:

Are they kidding?

Only one week since 1.60 release, and they already have the early experimental beta for the next patch. Looks like all the new stuff is just further adaptation to consoles, so I will wait (I believe it will take 2 or 3 months) until the full release .

I think these smaller updates are prepping for console and my guess is they want Road Trip and Coaches to ship WITH the console versions of this game from day one.

This is happening fast!

This time not the screenshots, but the real gameplay .

I feel like I am watching a mod, but it's not!

I hate to be nitpicky, but I don't recall F-150 sounding like that.  I am sure they used real audio though and I know they ham things up a bit for a game.  It is neat to see how nimble driving this truck is compared to our big rigs!

Road Trip still seems rather aimless to me compared to Coaches. I don't know exactly what the point is other than to drive around aimlessly.  I'm not complaining, I am super excited.  Now I want to buy a house to park my new vehicle at!

I'm hoping a lot of the sounds are place holders because they sound a lot like a semi.

Looks like we have a new truck tuning pack today. Not for ATS, unfortunately.

Anyway, maybe there will be something good.

Did it turn out to be DAF?

[timmelon]

Very likely it’s for several brands.
They had pictures with MAN and Renault in their Christmas stream.

[RainySunshine]

Oh multiple brands? I wasn't aware!   I remember them teasing future trucks, but I wasn't sure if this pack would be related to that.

[timmelon]

The pack is here!

A big mistake — they forgot to demonstrate the «ahooga» air horn in this trailer . You can hear it in the stream at 51:32.

Personally for me, it’s the most prominent part of this DLC . Can’t say I am a huge fan of the visual components like those glowing logos, big spotlights or old school steering wheels (older school than we have in Steering Creations DLC for ATS) in sparkly plastic texture, but they are very popular in modding since the earliest years of this game.
