SCS Blog Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The Open Beta of Update 1.3 for American Truck Simulator is available on Steam. And yes, if you are keen to explore it even before the update is officially released for everybody, the testing version contains the much anticipated Arizona DLC! Here is out little marketing blurb for Arizona: Drive through the streets of 15 new cities including the largest city and capital, Phoenix, and visit the distinctive southern centers Flagstaff and Tucson. Discover a section of the famous Route 66 with its key landmarks. Cross the Colorado river over unique bridges and explore many wonderful vistas and famous landmarks within this region. The Arizona State is not the only new feature of 1.3 update of course. The list of changes and fixes is much longer, here is a recap of the key ones:MAIN NEW FEATURES Arizona DLC Take World of Trucks Contracts directly from the game, now with ATS support. Physically simulated truck and trailer coupling. CODE Blinker auto off can be disabled (option). Speeding highlight can be disabled (option). Torque converter simulation greatly improved. Automatic transmission behavior improved. XInput support added. Added UI support for 4th and 5th controller. Gear shift selectors (range, split) now have UI support for position-based switches. DATA New accessories added to 579 a T680 (bullbars, deflectors, sideflares, etc). Default air horn added to all trucks (attribute air_horn in sound accessory). New engine sound of W900 (air intake). Interior sounds of all trucks rebalanced. US specific engine data. MODDING Damage params moved out from game_data.sii and some more added (including wear and part damage factors). Data driven engines (torque curve, rpm limits). Force feedback data for XInput added (force_feedback.sii). Torque converter physics data added, separated manual clutch data (physics.sii). You can find the beta in the public_beta branch on Steam. (Steam client → LIBRARY → right click on American Truck Simulator → Properties → Betas tab → public_beta - 1.3 public beta). No password is required. A word of caution: make sure to back-up your profile and save game data before experimenting with beta builds!Please keep in mind that this is still only a test version of the update, it's perfectly ok for you to wait and stay away from it until it's stable and final. If you are curious though and want to assist us in polishing it, we greatly appreciate your help. Please report any bugs on our forum.Last but not least, yesterday we released the public beta version of SCS Workshop Uploader tool, that is compatible with latest game updates. More details here.

BIG of ROT Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm enjoying it so far! My question is why do the trucks sound so odd.... I'm sure the horn is from ETS2 as well o.o.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG of ROT Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 ^ Use "N" instead of "H" when using the k900 The horn sounds amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I just started playing it and already loving it, improved engine and blinker sounds for the w900 and instant gear shifting when using the Allison (just like IRL). Also, some of the new accessoires are looking pretty bad ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG of ROT Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 ^ Amen brotha, It was worth the wait forsure!! I'm glad you like it, Have you tried the new air horn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 ^ Didn't know we could use the airhorn now, thanks. Just tested it and I find it a bit meh. It sounds kinda unnatural as if it's coming from a phone or something, hard to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodith Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Also noticed they have new cop cars as well. Overall it looks interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrusj Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Cant wait to try this out! Although it would be hard to go back to triple monitors after playing in VR. So i might just wait till its not in beta anymore. Check out my HTC Vive game play videos on YouTube.

Fulgura Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 ^ omg RACES! Maybe not today, but someday? Oh, i can imagine the possibilities. Just like old HT2 days! I hope something about using that racetrack can happen someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Potter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Maybe people will stop driving on the roads like idiots with the skodas and wipe themselves out on that track instead. Shiftin' gears and drinkin' beers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TJ- Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yes. A good place to take the skoda. Hopefully the admins allow it for racing with the skoda. The track would be 24/7 supervised by admins. Velocity Transport Application Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDodge34 [FR QC] Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Racetracks, finally a place for those idiots that think the roads are a racetrack everywhere. I've just tested the advanced coupling and decoupling, I'll just say, in some spots like the mines and I suppose in the quarry in ETS2, it won't be that easy to position the truck correctly. And I can report it doesn't work with any modded trucks right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
