SCS Blog Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 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!

Rev. Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Any new content is good for ETS. I'm surprised they're still trying to develop it so heavily and not more focused on ATS. It's great to see they're still working on big updates like the Italy DLC etc. Steam | TruckersMP Profile | SteamRep | Twitch Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosschris10 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 been away for a while on holiday and saw the update on the steam forums. does that mean the latest build is working with multiplayer or is it best to disable the updates and not download them at present if you want to use MP still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmuecke Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmuecke Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) ^ can't wait to have my calm and beautifull scandinavia (where i'm pretty much driving around 99% of the time) get overrun by rammers etc Edited August 17, 2017 by Anriandor Removed unnecessary quotation.

caff!!! Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) 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) Edited August 17, 2017 by caff!!!

Mirko9 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 "Steam Inventory support to allow for distributing rewards from upcoming World of Trucks events" sounds good!Huge hype! Thanks SCS for another great update! 1 hour ago, caff!!! said: 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.

Elysia ELF Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 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 Black Version White version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited August 19, 2017 by Andalusi Trucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerRyder Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 But can´t you simply take a double Trailer and haul it to a port where you can travel to Germany or Netherlands for example? Jage nicht, was du nicht töten kannst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
