Just today we have finished programming one more neat feature - support for different color dashboard button back-light. Until now we were limited just to white back-light, but in reality way more color variety is used by truck manufacturers.

The screenshot below shows that immediately we have started improving the just-released Euro 6 DAF, for the next Euro Truck Simulator 2 update we would like to improve as much of our truck fleet for night driving as possible.



We have a plea for the real truckers among you. Finding good reference is very hard for us. We have taken tons of photos and videos of interiors while we test-drive the trucks, but we had seldom done so in the dark. If you have access to a truck featured in our game, would you be so kind to send us a photograph of the interior, with engine and lights on, taken in the evening? To give us a clear idea of the night-lit dashboard, you would have to take it without use of flash, so that the elements of the dashboard can be recognizable.

We have created a special section for this research on our message board, if you want to contribute to our know-how, please follow this link: http://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=152. Thank you!

Today's release marks the end of another fruitful beta testing period – during the testing phase, the community has yet again helped us pinpoint and resolve important issues prior to public release of the update.



We would like to thank all of the beta participants for helping us shape the final version of the update, your constant support allows us to create the definitive truck simulation experience.



Check out some fresh images of the new DAF XF Euro 6 truck. OK, to make the best impression, we have cheated a bit when making those pictures. The vehicle is featured in new areas of the virtual world of ETS2 to be released as part of Scandinavia DLC, already under new 'light and skies' – a new approach to day/night cycle that we are developing now. A little hint of what to expect in future updates! :)



More screenshots are available on our blog.

Here is what the short version of this update is bringing to you (expanded version):

• Liftable axles
  
• Speed limit shown on dashboard GPS
  
• Truck browser shows all upgrades and their level requirements
  
• Increased damage for overturned vehicles
  
• Higher penalties for damaged cargo (both xp and money)
  
• Camera rotation based on steering and blinkers
  
• Traffic improvement

• Steam Rich Presence: job information in "View Game Info" in the Steam friends list (example)
  
• Screenshot images contain additional metadata (game state, vehicle, camera)
  
• Upload your World of Trucks profile truck from the in-game Screenshot Manager

• New truck: DAF XF Euro 6
  
• Added three new 6-wheeled chassis for (almost) all trucks
  
• Substantial data fixes in most chassis

• New cargo definition structure
  
• Per-sector weather climate profiles
  
• Goto console command now accepts city names or their fragments (eg "goto aber" teleports camera to Aberdeen)

The team is hard at work on finalizing the fixes of bugs reported by the community during our current Steam beta of the 1.14 update so that we can finally release it properly.



However today we'd like to show you something different:



As we've mentioned before, our audio team is working on re-recording sounds for the range of trucks featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The setup and procedure is now so thorough that it may even take 2 days to record all we need!

There is no particular prioritized list of trucks that we could follow, instead we record the vehicles as they become available to us. During the past two weeks, the trips of our team resulted in capturing new sets of sounds for the two trucks pictured below - Iveco Stralis Hi-Way and new Mercedes Actros 1845.



New recording setup allows our sound engineer to capture humming of the engine and noises in detail previously not available in our game.



The whole truck sound system is being refined, which involves changes in programming, in data structures, and of course lots of new sfx files. New audio samples will be added to the game in one of future updates.
