SCS Blog Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 We're almost there to release the open betas of the next wave of updates for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we iron out the last few known glitches so that we are able to release the open betas next week.Today we'd like to tease you a little with a glimpse on one of the new features - the implementation of liftable axles for trailers. This feature was requested by the fan community for quite a while, we're glad to bring it to life for all players looking forward to improvements in simulation fidelity. Lifting a trailer axle allows you to spread the weight among the trailer's wheels to optimize fuel consumption, limit tire wear, or adjust the trailer's maneuverability while turning or reversing. As there was no default hotkey or controller key assigned for this feature as of yet, and we do not want to break players' existing configs, please remember to set this function under any key in the Key & Buttons options. Stay tuned for more feature reveals as we wrap up the work on the updates. The full change log will of course come along with the actual releases.

Nice feature any way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.Rucker Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 In the blog it actually says that the liftable axle can be used in order to influence trailer handling while parking, so maybe it can be quite useful. And the hint that it also makes an impact on tire wear could also mean that we might possibly get a feature which would allow us to purchase our own trailers as well? This would be something really nice in my opinion. Visit us on stvtc.co.uk or join our Discord-channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 ^ That's what I was thinking, why care about trailer tire wear if you don't own it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.Rucker Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Actually a friend told me about the Differential Lock, i wouldn't have found it on my own, but i haven't realized the 'Online' button neither. I am curious what that's all about? Visit us on stvtc.co.uk or join our Discord-channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrady40 [G29] Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Not sure, but if it is what I think it is SCS may have got a first party multiplayer, although at this point I'm debating on if I actually would want a first party multiplayer at this stage. Who knows, may be just some settings for WOT. Edited February 24, 2017 by Cbrady40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I know it they will add trailer axles, we see it on the France DLC teaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caff!!! Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I hope trucks will get dash lights for the new features, it's annoying enough that the lift axle light only works on the new DAF Independent driver On 8/28/2018 at 2:16 PM, caff!!! said: to quote Revolver Ocelot: I love to reload shift gears during a battle delivery.

[...] 3 I am also wondering why they would implement it when there aren't empty trailers in the base game. However, it can still be used for very light cargo such as Medical Vaccines (5t), Medical Equipment (5t), Pot Flowers (3t) or Computer Processors (3t). 4 hours ago, [ST-B] T.Rucker said: In the blog it actually says that the liftable axle can be used in order to influence trailer handling while parking, so maybe it can be quite useful.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. That's the point, you got it. I don't mind - I just want to get the trailer to the recipient without any damage. Nevertheless, I am crossing my fingers as well King regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
