SCS Blog Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 At SCS Software, we always have several internal projects under way, big and small, in variuos stages of completion - from pure concept research, to pre-production, to full-blown production. We try to keep things mostly under wraps until we gain enough confidence that a project is viable. It is always a great pleasure to finally make the announcement when we are ready to release something new!Today, we are proud to bring you a new DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 - the Heavy Cargo Pack is here!Along with this new pack, there is a lot of content which will be added into the base game as a FREE update for everyone. But first, let's check out the new content in the DLC: New Cargoes Prepare yourself for 8 new heavy haul cargoes: Asphalt Miller Industrial Cable Reel Concrete Beams Crawl Dozer Locomotive Metal Centering Mobile Crane Transformer New Trailers The new DLC contains a pair of new high-tech trailers: Single Extendable Flatbed and Semi Lowloader with Drop Deck. These trailers come with steerable axles for safer navigation around tight bends.The good news today don't just stop here. We are also adding a lot of free content and a new feature into the base game!New Truck Chassis Variants and Tuning While working on the new heavy cargoes, we were inspired to take a look into special transport variants of truck tractors. The fan community has long been asking for 8x4 chassis options, and this is a great opportunity to finally introduce them into the game. We don't have 8x4 chassis option available for all the trucks in the game at this moment, but we hope that you will be happy to find it available for Mercedes-Benz New Actros, Volvo FH 2012, and both Scania R and Streamline trucks.The new chassis variants are a free part of today's game update, so you can try them out immediately even without buying the Heavy Cargo Pack DLC. For each new vehicle variant, we have also created a set of new paint jobs too, to make you feel real unique and anxious for the more difficult challenges. In addition, we have added several new truck tuning accessories into the game, such as wheel tuning parts. Truck Analysis Screen With the new heavy loads, you may find out that not all trucks are equally suitable for hauling them. There are technical as well as legal limitations and implications for transporting heavy cargo in the real wold, and while Euro Truck Simulator 2 is only a game, we felt that the players should be aware of them. All manufacturers offer a wide range of options for the trucks, and the companies that buy them try their best to optimize the configuration to best suit their needs, while making the purchase economical - both at the time of purchase and even more importantly while operating them. The new Truck Analysis screen is our attempt to indicate the suitability of a particular truck configuration for various operational scenarios and conditions. This new feature works in the upgrade shop too, where it may help you configure your truck to best fit your goals and budget. The Truck Analysis screen doesn't impose any restricitions on your choice of vehicle, it is only there as a guide. But we think it may be a good idea to pay attention to the advice. You may make the screen disapper with a single click, but half an hour later, you may find yourself in real trouble trying to pass a difficult spot in the world, and upset that you have not made a wiser choice of the truck to pull the heavy cargo.Well, do you have what it takes to answer the call of heavy duty? We bet you do!Related articles: Big in America, Heavyweights to enter the ring soon View the full article 4 Hurr durr I'm a bot *beep* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoyo_ManSg Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello, True, it is now necessary to wait for this DLC to be compatible in multiplayer. However, we will be able to test and get used to these long trailers in solo mode. Happy Trucking everybody Cordially, Yoyo_ManSg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
