ETS2 Update 1.47

April 15, 2023

The 1.47 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been released and features some bug fixes, a redesign of the user interface which now shows more details about your company, some new gameplay additions – It is now possible to buy your own gas cistern and livestock trailers – as well as the continued rework of German cities. This time it’s Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Nurnberg and Erfurt which have been completely redesigned.

A more general implementation is the new Uneven Surface Simulation – small bumps are procedurally generated to give roads and other terrains an imperfect feel to them. While they may not be visible to the driver, you will be able to feel these subtle bumps and in some cases hear them affect your vehicle whilst driving.

Among other new things introduced with the update is the possibility for Adaptive Cruise Control and Emergency Braking System. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts the distance and speed from the vehicle in front when in cruise control mode. This is especially handy when encountering a busy highway, where you may find traffic often merging into a gap in front of you, or in situations where traffic speed is constantly changing. The Emergency Braking System for its part activates your brakes whenever a collision is imminent with the vehicle in front, to avoid or minimize damage. This technology in the real world has saved countless lives and is found in most modern trucks.

There has also been a rethink when it comes to how the necessary reset after a game update functions. Whenever the player’s economy is reset during a game load, it was the norm for you to be teleported to your HQ garage. From now on you will instead be offered a free quick travel to any service station of your choice after a game change was detected.

Farming Simulator 22 patch 1.9 released

It’s getting close to DLC release time again – the Göweil pack is coming March 21 – so that means it’s also time for the usual pre-DLC patch for the base game.

This time the main visible new stuff is the addition of a new storage building made specifically to handle bales and pallets in a nice, easier way. Which may be a very welcome addition not the least for when the Göweil pack drops next week.

The changelog in full is as follows:

ATS celebrates Kenworth Trucks centennial

ATS celebrates Kenworth Trucks centennial

March 4, 2023

The Kenworth Truck Company was founded in 1923 and are celebrating 100 years as a truck manufacturer! And since their trucks have been in American Truck Simulator ever since the game was released it is understandable that SCS Software is joining in the celebrations.

In particular this is done by releasing a new, special anniversary edition of the classic looking Kenworth W900 in the game, based on the real-life special edition from Kenworth.

This in turn also means that SCS took the time to go back and remodel the old standard versions of the W900 as well so that their visuals would be brought up to today’s standard in the game. They were after all in the game from release, so they did have a couple of years under their belts by now.

It’s yesterday times in Iowa

It’s yesterday times in Iowa

March 3, 2023

We’ve been spending some time in the past over in the Upper Mississippi Valley area lately.

This means somewhat smaller equipment. And somewhat less speedy at times too.

Of course there do exist somewhat faster ways to get around. On the way to the store to fetch some much needed seed and fertilizer for the autumn planting.

But when back there’s also grass to get in.

This is something a bit unusual – Soybean straw. Yep, that’s a thing here.

After winter comes a spring. When the snow is gone, field work starts again.

Since SCS added the Western Star 5700XE model to American Truck Simulator and it happened to coincide with me being a bit bored, I decided it was time for an addition to the stable.

For now it’s the day cab version, so I guess it’s no sleeping in it. It’s a pretty good hauler though.

My first trips all took place in Oregon before going north a bit. Sometimes I find myself longing a bit for the somewhat greener pastures up north.

And what could be better than finding oneself driving along the Olympia peninsula at sunrise with a big load of explosives in tow?

Ending the tour with a nice ferry jump over the sound. It was actually the first time I used that route so all new for me.

Sometimes it’s important to keep a theme it seems. Welcome to the yellow farm.

This gathering of yellow occured on DJModding’s Upper Mississippi River Valley map and the machines are two Challengers, an American style Claas, and a tree stump remover that I forgot to ask my friend who had it which brand it was.

Göweil Pack coming in March

Göweil Pack coming in March

February 15, 2023

The first DLC pack for Farming Simulation 22 in 2023 has been revealed. It is going to be a collection of equipment focused on baling, with nine new tools from the Austrian Göweil brand.

It will not only be a bunch of new equipment, but also new possibilities when it comes to gathering stuff into bales. With the new machines corn silage, sugar beet pulp, mixed feed, and more can be baled and wrapped. It will also be possible to choose between net-binding and foil-wrapping when it comes to some of the resources.

As for the equipment there will be an assortment of both moveable and stationary machinery for baling and wrapping. In addition there will be new bale forks and grippers as well as a bale turner which supposedly will help in reducing the number of times you’ll have to chase after round bales going downhill.

The Göweil Pack will be released March 21 but can already be pre-ordered. The pack is included in the Year 2 Season Pass so those who have that will get it automatically on the release date.

New Truck for ATS

February 3, 2023

With the latest patch for American Truck Simulator there’s also a new truck coming. The Western Star 5700XE.

It comes in three different main types – a day cab, the 54″ High Roof Stratosphere and the 82″ Ultra High Roof Stratosphere. Chassis available are short, medium and long versions in 6×2 and 6×4. The engines are Detroit Diesels, which offers the options of DD13, DD15 and DD16 up to 600HP.

Future Map DLCs for ATS

January 28, 2023

SCS Software has now publicly announced both of their ongoing map projects for American Truck Simulator.

Already earlier they had announced that now when the big Texas map DLC has been successfully launched, it is time for neighbouring Oklahoma. And maybe not all that surprising the state coming thereafter will be Kansas.
