There has been added yet another new driveable truck in American Truck Simulator. This time it is the new Volvo VNL.
The new models include the VNL 860, 740, and 300, with the 860 standing in the spotlight as the flagship and most advanced model of the three, offering the highest standard for the most demanding of truckers. And as usual they come with a range of possible customizations to both the exterior and the interior.
SCS Software this week added the new MAN TG3 TGX as a driveable truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
As usual it arrives with a select choice of configurations and customizations. This includes 3 cabin sizes (GN, GM, GX), 6 chassis types (4×2, 6×2, 6×4, and 8×4), 8 transmissions, and 9 engine options up to 640hp. There is also quite a number of customizations available for it, where maybe the most interesting is the option to use the MAN OptiView digital mirror system. This makes it only the second truck in the game after the latest DAF truck able to use digital camera mirros instead of classic outside mounted mirrors. In the MAN’s case it also comes with a blindspot detector accessory with new functionality as well as the option to display the front digital mirror on the infotainment screen.
There is new free content coming to Farming Simulator 22 in combination with the new patch 1.9.1. This time it is the two AGCO brands Massey Ferguson and Fendt that get some new love.
The new machines are two Massey Ferguson tractors – 6S and 7S – and four different balers, two from each brand. Or more exactly two different balers in two versions each.
The round balers – which also have wrapping technology built-in – are called Massey Ferguson MF RB 4160V Protec and Fendt Rotana 160 V Combi respectively while the square baler is named MF 2370 Ultra HD in its Massey Ferguson version and Squadra 1290 N UD in the green Fendt one.
In addition to the new content there’s also some fixes coming in patch 1.9.1 and the changelog is as follows:
Changes & Improvements
- PC/Mac: Added paste (Ctrl + V) support for text/password input fields
- Mixerwagon info HUD works again
- Fixed folding issues on the cotton harvesters
- Fixed issues with bale transport tools
- Bales from missions can now be stored in the “Bale & Pallet Storage”

- Fixed functionality of plows to properly remove chopped straw from the ground
- Proper hardware profile mapping of Intel ARC GPUs
- Updated to FSR 2.2

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.
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:
New Additions

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 is getting close to the next big DLC update for Farming Simulator 22, which means it is also time for a new patch for the game.

As is usual before the launch of a new DLC map (and sometimes in between such occurences too), American Truck Simulator has got an update to version 1.45. And to illustrate the “and sometimes in between” statement I just made, the similar 1.45 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now also out.
For both games the news are ownable tank trailers, rain sensors that automatically may turn your windshield wipers on and adjust their speed as the sensors registers rain, some changes in how mods are handled in multiplayer convoy sessions, a setting that allow for hiding the out of bounds X’es on the roads
For American Truck Simulator the US-14 road and the accompanying town of Cody, Wyoming, have been added for those of you who own the Wyoming map DLC. There has also been a rebranding of many gas stations and truck stops all over the map – although probably most noticable in the “older” states – since SCS now have become much more skilled in how to make very neat such stuff.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2 there’s been an update of the German city of Hannover, which has also got a newfangled thing called custom introduction to the city. This has also been made for the Austrian cities. In addition the first phase of the implementation of functional JOST fifth wheels on trucks is included in this update.
You can read more about the 1.45 updates on SCS Software’s own blog. The one for American Truck Simulator is to be found here, and the Euro Truck Simulator 2 one is here.
