SCS Blog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Today we have an announcement that should make many of our fans happy. After quite some years of internal discussions and frankly some frustrations and struggles to have the gameplay as well as technical side of multi-trailer physics support ironed out, we finally feel ready to reveal fresh info about our progress on doubles.It has taken us a long time, but hope never dies! We are polishing double trailers for inclusion in the next major updates for Euro Truck Simulator 2 as well as for American Truck Simulator. We have a few pictures for you to prove that we are serious... Our games' fans have patiently (or not so patiently) waited for double trailers for a long time, and the wait should not be that long any more. The new trailers and physics improvements will be a part of the next big "point release" update of both games. Our hope is to release the updates in early summer. It's going to be a FREE update.Meanwhile, we are also wrapping up work on Heavy Cargo packs both for ETS2 and for ATS, which are going to be paid DLCs, comparable to our existing High Power Cargo Pack DLC. So if you are into cargo transport in particular, there is a ton of cool stuff to look forward to!

sgpch1983 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) so this means the tandems and turnable drawbar trailer are near.. maybe one of the next updates or dlcs after this.. Edited May 5, 2017 by sgpch1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Rucker Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hmmm, i think for ATS this would be a nice addition, but i don't really need doubles in ETS 2 since they are very very unusual for European standards (at least here where i live, i haven't seen a single one in 24 years now). Tandems would have been more suitable for ETS 2, but these doubles are still better than nothing as i can already feel the challenge of reversing them into the parking spot... 1 Visit us on stvtc.co.uk or join our Discord-channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) My suggestion still is having some kind of level system for the multiplayer. The level could be connected to the Steam-ID, the TruckersMP account or the WoT account and only when you reach a certain level you are allowed to drive double-trailers in multiplayer. That way a lot of chaos could be prevented. I'm saying this since the idea of multiplayer-sided double-trailers came up. Now I think is the time to implement this as fast as possible or chaos will happen in multiplayer. Edited May 5, 2017 by Hardy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy ®™ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Can't wait for this update! But I can see one thing being a problem, which is on TruckersMP. If they update MP to this new update soon after it comes out, and lets people pull them, They better have lots of admins on, plus hopefully new rules to go along with it. As there will be people who wont be able to drive (Like turning, heck, some people can't even drive straight now.) MP is gonna be a mess once they update it. I am really gonna hate to see how people drive with these doubles. It would be an awesome idea if you want to be able to pull doubles on MP, that you have to go through a driving test just to see how you handle them.

Dubbeledraaideur [NL] Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Double trailers yes please I love the challenge, I cannot imagine if you need to enter Trameri in Rotterdam, how difficult it will be, to go through the gate. It is already a challenge with a pieterbilt and a normal trailer (on SP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanster Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 ETS2 is gonna be a complete cluster truck when this gets added, people can't even drive a normal truck never mind those beasts. Looking forward to it though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are not allowed in Austria, but in the Netherlands and Belgium the 25.25 meter combination, are allowed on motorways and roads towards industries locations. (I do not know for other EU countries) But they are not allowed on C-D roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex [ITA] Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) @Dubbeledraaideur [NL] Those types of combo trucks aren't allowed in Italy too (I bet that nobody can drive in Italy roads with a 25 m truck... our roads are pretty narrow). I know they're allowed in Sweden because I watch DrivingBro. Idk about other countries...

XBGTCOUPE73 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 in Australia we call them road trains from 3 trailers to 6 and even more I see these every day in australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Raiden- Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 In Germany, those trucks are called "Gigaliner" and for years, there has been a heck of political discussions here whether it's reasonable to have them rolling around, or not... They might be a little unorthodox special feature, but I somehow look forward to them in both games. It's adding a new challenge ^^ However... when I remember playing 18WoS Haulin', I might have to lock myself up in my room to maintain concentration when reversing those trailers Concering the C-D "Death Road" in ETS2 MP... it might be the most reasonable method to ban them from that road. There's enough daily choas with normal Euro-Semis already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
