Our work on the announced models of SCANIA Next Generation trucks for Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues successfully. We're excited about reaching an internal milestone and want to share a couple of screenshots with you.

Despite some resistance from the vehicle department (they prefer to show off their creations when they are fully complete), we were able to get fresh Scania S 4x2 High Cab shots. This model is in a development phase when it can already be presented in the game environment to review and assess the implementation of its characteristic features. First look at the details of the cab interior is also possible now. Keep in mind that the presented model is incomplete and subject to further tweaks.

Both Scania S and R models are under development in parallel. There is still a ton of work left and many details to polish before we reach the finish line, but as you can see, we are giving them a lot of care!

We have been spending considerable time during the recent year fine-tuning truck & trailer physics and improving power train simulation. We feel more and more confident now that we'll be soon ready to share the results of this development with you.

We are preparing new content and gameplay features for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. As a first, we plan to bring you a pack of new Heavy Cargo sitting on all-new trailers for ETS2. The driving experience with 50+ tons in tow is very different, so much in fact that it may tempt us to pack in new powerful chassis configurations for some of the trucks!

The wait for the final version of the 1.27 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and 1.6 update for American Truck Simulator is over! We want to thank all of you who contributed to our open beta test with bug reports, feedback, and suggestions. Updates for both games are available via Steam now.

• Country Specific Police Cars AI
  This update brings a new element which synchronizes the game with ATS - cop cars in traffic. Police cars have a unique look for each country.
  
  
  
  
• Trailer Liftable Axles
  
• Differential Lock
  
• Adaptive transmission modes (power, normal, eco)
  
• Improved engine simulation model (friction, braking, consumption)

• Volvo with Allison gearbox can shift up over 4 gears.
  
• Air pressure simulation improved (pressure buildup, cut-off sound, application pressure).
  
• Coin sound tweaked.
  
• FOV range increased to 40-120 degrees in adjuster.
  
• Engine brakes set to 3 positions (as most current trucks have). One-key-hold control will use full strength still.
  
• If engine brake toggle input is not assigned, increase/decrease engine brake inputs work similar to retarder (in range from 0 to maximum).
  
• Multiple fueling points on gas stations.
  
• g_force_economy_reset flag is disabled after economy reset.
  
• Transmission input shaft simulation (double clutch).

• Single "overrides" (forced default) rule can be used instead of defaults-suitable rule pair across linked accessories.
  
• All pressure units set consistently to bars (data, animation, dashboard UI).
  
• Nominal air_tank_pressure value added to chassis data.
  
• Changed interior animations: all air, oil and brake pressure (gauges, indicators).
  
• New interior animation: trailer axle lift (indicator), differential lock (button, indicator).
  
• New engine data: resistance_torque (measured at 2000rpm).
  
• Coin sound made moddable in the same way as other sounds (through ogg file).

• Connecting DLC's owned by the player to his World of Truck account to make the content available for all World of Trucks features.

Today is a special day for our games' fans with Irish descent. Occasionally, we update older content in our games, and we decided to revisit the Irish Paint Jobs Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2. We have added a few cabin decorations to the DLC, hoping that this free little gift for all owners of the paintjob set may make their March 17 a tiny bit better.



Your game installation on Steam will be updated with the new cabin toys automatically if you have the DLC already. If you tend to wear green on this day and still don't have the DLC, you may appreciate that it is now available on Steam Store at reduced price.

We are hard at work on the 3D models of Next Generation Scania S and R trucks. There is still a ton of work left for the two-person team responsible for the interior and exterior of the vehicle, but we are seeing solid progress. In a previous announcement, we have covered the process of 3D scaning and photogrammetry, performed on a research trip to Scania Demo Centre in Södertälje, Sweden. But looks is not everything. In recent days, a small production team set out to record the truck sounds, and to photograph additional specific details of the cabin interior. Our thanks belong to Scania Czech Republic based in Chrášťany near Prague, who let us play with Scania’s new trucks range for 2017 models - V8 S580 and R450. We took four days in total for the sound recording sessions, so you can imagine that it was rather thorough.


We recorded sounds on eight microphones simultaneously. A vehicle's sounds are recorded at once for interior as well as for selected exterior areas and important mechanical parts. We go through various driving modes and workloads to get a wide range of authentic data. We typically dedicate 3 microphones just for the engine compartment, to make sure we acquire the distinctive full sound. More microphones are reserved for the chassis and exhaust. In total, we are talking some 50 GB of raw data in 8 tracks for each vehicle.


In addition to comprehensive sound sets for both S and R models, we also focused on photographing dozens of detailed photos, which will be handy for our vehicle department. For this purpose we had a fat list of items prepared by them for what needed to be further documented. The details were then photographed during breaks in the recording sessions.
