[SCS Blog] ETS2 and ATS update 1.28 has arrived!


SCS Blog

Recommended Posts

We want to thank everyone who participated in the open betas for their feedback. We are truly grateful for your time and dedication.

After several weeks of thorough testing and bug fixing, the open beta is finally over today, and we are here to release live 1.28 update for everyone. Thank you for your patience, we hope that you will enjoy this update as much as the previous ones. 

Here is the list of major changes and added features in this update:

MAIN FEATURES


  • Doubles
We introduced doubles in this update into Euro Truck Simulator 2 across Scandinavia where they are allowed and doubles into American Truck Simulator with the addition of triples and Rocky Mountain doubles in the state of Nevada where they are legal.

  • Background screen options
This feature, admittedly mostly cosmetic, is a neat break of monotony when coming back to the game's main menu. As the options for alternate background scenes will grow over time, there will be more choice for you to picking a unique atmosphere that matches your style.

  • Changed light look on the player and AI vehicles
Light flares are a great change that sharpened the game's look quite a bit, as such, they have earned their own dedicated blog post.

  • DAF XF 2017 Facelift
We have added facelifted version of DAF XF Euro 6 as a free update for everyone!

MINOR CHANGES


  • Auxiliary brakes system support (engine brake and retarder in one control element)
  • Fixed licence plate change in states/countries where no city formats exist
  • Fixed brake vs parking brake behavior
  • Fixed tire noise of silent tires
  • Retarder improvement (better cruise control behavior, no braking with throttle, icon when moving only)
  • Steam Inventory support to allow for distributing rewards from upcoming World of Trucks events
  • Added three more steering wheel designs into Steering Creations DLC
Your games will be automatically updated on Steam (make sure to opt OUT of beta branches now!). For the legacy non-Steam edition of ETS2, an update should be ready in a few days. Enjoy!

^ It's because of the player base, they'll earn more money on ETS 2 than they ever will with ATS so ATS is just getting put back even more. 

 

For example, France was released December 5th, 2016 and they want to release Italy this year as well, in fact it already has a page on the steam store. Arizona was released June 6th, 2016 and they haven't even told us a rough date for the release of NM, it also doesn't even have it's own public steam store page yet. ETS 2 basically gets 2 maps within 1 year yet ATS doesn't even get ONE map in a year. SCS is focused on ETS and it seems like they can careless about ATS now. Sure it's still under development but it doesn't seem like SCS is developing ATS at the same pace they are developing ETS 2.

another reason why other countries aren't getting doubles just yet: incomplete skins (found this gem while making a proof of concept use trailers anywhere mod)

@caff!!! I think thats not true.

If SCS wanted to add doubles to the EU countreies that will kill reality because in many countries(EU) they are not legal.

for the people who asked for doubles in france etc. , they would only do it in scandinavia since they are legal there IRL and i don't think they are somewhere else in EU (not to my knowledge)

yes they are. look at the eu traffic laws.

 

in germany you are allowed to drive them on some roads.. permits have been given.

im sure they are allowd in the nederlands and france.

Hi, 

@Jaffa-VTC I Mirko9 I FME Your right you can put any company paint job on the load carrier (last trailer) but maybe its look weird...

Look every trailer have there own template but some trailers like the Krone Coolliner and the Krone Fridge has the same template...

This is the result if you put the Schwarmüller Paint job on the ETS1 Reefer

to bad we all (everyone who posted about it on the scs forum) could not convince scs to release the doubles in other countrys where they are allowed.. lets all hope the ets2 doubles get expanded some day to france, nederlands, austria, and as drive trough germany.

 

- Nederland is too small to delivery long trailers ... Rotterdam --> Amsterdam 65 km transport route ?? pfff... too small

- Germany: in some Highways there are allowed ... for example: from Bremen to Hamburg only 150 km, and only this Highway you can transport this... no sense to make this

- France, Belgium, Germany: only testing transport and you need licence to transport this

- Austria, Switzerland, UK: not allowed
