Things of note from the SCS stream - ETS 2, June 2018


[ATL] VLAD (UA)

Recommended Posts

1. Trailer updates! Trailer configurations and trailer ownership is coming! (Missed this, but I believe Pavel said it will be in 1.32). They'll show more in a month or two. They also believe they will have to rebalance the economy with this update. Krone Trailers DLC will be part of this (?). The trailer update will be for both ETS2 and ATS, though the main focus is on ETS2. (I spotted steerable wheels on those box trailers...)

2. All old map content (UK, Going East, etc) may be revisited over time. They think it will take 3-4 game updates to revamp the entirety of Germany.

3. Renault Range T was approved by Renault's technical department over a year ago. The legal side is complicated, as Renault Trucks is owned by Volvo Trucks and the logo is owned by both Renault Trucks and Renault Cars - two different companies, meaning there are three legal teams in this process.

4. New MAN TGX is very close to being finalised and being approved for the game. Just legal matters need finishing.

5. There's also a new truck for ATS ready for release. There's just more legal stuff that needs wrapping up.

6. The SCS Engine is being moved forward with new features in the pipeline. They have 3 or 4 people working on graphics. Older versions of Windows will no longer be supported from next year as Microsoft will no longer support them. DX11/12/13 soon?

7. There's still quite a lot of work to do on the Baltic DLC, but it is definitely on track for release by the end of the year. St Petersburg has had one guy working on it for the entirety of the project - according to Pavel, it's a huge city. If you don't own Going East, but own Baltic DLC, you will be able to move from the base map to the Baltics via ferries from Germany. Sweden will also have a ferry connection to Finland.

8. There is already research occuring for the next DLC after the Baltics - it's not Spain & Portugal! Pavel said "it's another direction on the compass". He also said it is going to be larger than anything before. Hmm...

9. Euro Coach Simulator Status Update! Still a priority, but not a top priority. It's likely to be a DLC for ETS2 as the map was initially made for both a truck simulator and bus simulator if ETS2 didn't take off like it did. There have been 2 guys working on the coach game for the last 4 or 5 years, with 2 bus models completed. They want to create more life-like characters... may be releasing in 2019 or 2020!

10. New chassis types will be coming for trucks at some point in the near future.

11. Tuning Packs! Pavel can confirm that another truck manufacturer has allowed SCS to create another truck tuning pack. More tuning packs will be appearing soon, and there will be truck tuning packs for ATS at some point too.

12.The ability to open windows is coming :D 

13. Pavel said that World of Trucks should encompass VTCs and support Multiplayer but it's a massive undertaking. SCS will have to invest a lot of time and effort into the project to ensure it's safe and efficient. World of Trucks will be the ultimate end-game: improved economy, multiplayer, etc. They believe that by the end of 2018, WOT may have more community features (ie. VTCs) added. Have patience, they would like official multiplayer truck sim as much as you!

14. There's no immediate plan for seasons, but they may appear in-game in a few years.

15. Heavier and bigger Special Transport jobs are on their wishlist of things they would like in the game. There are currently some technical issues with this.

16. ATS Special Transport is in testing, but there is still a lot of work ahead.

17. A World of Trucks event based on Special Transport may or may not be coming at some point.

18. Euro Truck Sim 2 will not have a battle royale mode :( ("TruckersMP is already Battle Royale though") 

19. No lootboxes. WOT drops are good enough as it is ;)

20. Netherlands Paintjob pack was started 2 years ago. It's currently being worked on by another employee as the last employee recently became a mother. It'll be released reasonably soon, along with other paintjob DLCs later this year.

21. No super overpowered engines allowing you to fly  

22. Next-gen Scania trucks will be included within the AI vehicles soon.

23. There may be a "Driving School" of sorts added to the game, allowing players to improve their skills. This driving school will teach real trucking skills, but it is only in the planning stages at the moment.

24. More physical rewards for WOT events are coming soon!

25. Spotify integration is on the SCS wishlist!

26. Pavel very briefly mentioned better Discord support.

27. One day, backgrounds (like the ones from the WOT events) may be purchasable from Steam for players who may have missed the events or may be new to the game.

28. Scandinavia DLC may expand northwards in the future, once they start to rebuild and update DLC areas, sort of like the Germany rebuild.

/r/TruckSim got a mention! The most asked questions from the SCS Q&A from a few months back will be answered on a blog post soon.

With World of Trucks, it may be possible to bridge ATS & ETS2 to have the same company operate on the two continents.

29. Trailers for transporting the New Scanias are coming.

30. New AI vehicles look to be coming too.

That seems very long, even if only one person was working on it, they probably forgot about it.

This needs to become a mandatory part of TruckersMP, so many people have little to no skill driving today.

@SasKGaming it's not just Turkish kids, it's kids in general. Most of them don't know the rules and therefore they wouldn't be allowed into TruckersMP as they wouldn't pass the driving school, and if they did they would stand out more therefore they would be disciplined a lot quicker by the staff. Driving school would also lessen the pressure on staff as they would be processing less reports.

they should raise the 2 hour time to maybe like 8 or 10 hours of in game time before being able to play MP. i heard they got rid of the 2 hour thing from some people

Thank you for taking your time and noting this all down, it gives us somethings to look forward to aswell as it shows what SCS is busy with these days.
 

I also liked your way of using the bold as a clear subject of the sentence following it.

Yes, the second half of the year expects us to be very productive from SCS

I created my account just under a month ago, I had the 2 hour "cooldown", and I haven't heard of the "bypass". Where did you hear of this?

under the MP video with Ai traffic there were like 6 or 7 people saying how they didnt have the 2 hour
