Whilst truck drivers play a pivotal role in the movement of goods across America, they are often a part of a bigger process, usually involving multiple modes of transport. One such network that is prevalent across the States is the railroad network, spanning thousands of miles across the country. In our upcoming Nebraska DLC for American Truck Simulator, you'll find more than just train tracks!
Nebraska is home to a lot of history, including The Oregon Trail, a historic route that played a pivotal role in the westward expansion of the United States during the 19th century. While Nebraska wasn't the longest stretch of the trail, it held significant importance as a passage through the Great Plains.
Our team has re-created some of the landmarks and historical signage, offering information and education about those who travelled across the trail, which can be found on roadsides near the original trail's route. Be sure to look out for them whilst you travel across Nebraska!
Let's get back on track by introducing you to some of the train yards and railroads you'll find across the state. Nebraska is a crucial part of the USA's rail network, so much so that you'll find yourself driving alongside trains a lot of the time!
With all these trains on the tracks, where do they go when they need a rest or maintenance? The Train Yard of course, in which Nebraska is home to the world's largest! Better known as 'Baily Yard' located in North Platte, this impressive area handles 10,000 railroad cars every 24 hours. You may even be able to spot the famous 'Golden Spike Tower' which hosts a visitor centre and offers unique views to tourists. Our team continues to work hard on this unique industry. As you can imagine, there are a lot of details to try squeeze in and replicate!
You will also find many other smaller Train Yards across Nebraska, some of which you'll be able to deliver cargo to in cities such as Alliance, Omaha and North Platte. We hope that you will appreciate the work and scale of representing this Intermodal Industry in this upcoming DLC.
All aboard for Nebraska! Excited to make your travels to Nebraska in American Truck Simulator? Stay on track with the latest news on our Social Media Channels (X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and be sure to Add the Nebraska DLC to your Steam Wishlist. Until next time, keep on truckin'.
In December 2023, the Kenworth T680 100 Years Anniversary Edition was launched for American Truck Simulator. Seizing this moment, we engaged in a conversation with the developers responsible for the truck's design. In our latest 'Under The Hood' blog, we had the chance to chat with Daniel and Renju, key contributors to bringing this exceptional truck to life.
The special edition Kenworth T680 100 Years Anniversary Edition showcases a range of premium features including an onyx-finished grill, a luxurious interior with red accents, advanced safety features, and enhanced aerodynamics. It represents Kenworth's century-long commitment to excellence and innovation in truck design.
Daniel - 3D Graphic Designer
"The project officially began in November 2022 with a visit to the Paccar facility center in Mount Vernon, WA, where we gathered photographic evidence for textures and photoreconstruction. My main role in this project was producing the truck's exterior model and project coordination, because there were many more vehicle artists involved in the final stages of the project. Renju started working on the truck's interior in February 2023, while the exterior development began in August 2023, just four months before the planned release. Effective coordination was crucial to ensure timely completion of all components," says Daniel.
Renju - Senior Game Artist
Designing this truck was not an easy mission. It had to be in-game by the end of 2023. "Meeting the project deadline was tough, even though work on the interior started ahead, the work on the exterior were delayed due to commitments on another project. We had to split tasks and coordinate carefully to ensure a smooth finish. Despite the challenges, I'm pleased with the outcome, and hope it brought joy to our players," Daniel told us.
"Kenworth celebrated its 100th anniversary and that's why it was planned to release the T680 100 Years Anniversary Edition by the end of 2023. As I began working on the project in February 2023, I had enough time to prepare everything in advance. We were meticulous in our approach to ensure the truck looked its absolute best," says Renju.
Adding anything new into our games is a long process that requires a lot of preparation, as Daniel explains here: "Project work always begins with thorough background research. Initially, we photographed a real vehicle to gather essential texture and photogrammetric data. Thanks to the excellent cooperation with Kenworth, we also obtained CAD files, ensuring maximum accuracy in transferring the truck to our game's 3D model. CAD data are basically 3D blueprints for vehicle manufacturing, so despite it being a full 3D model, it cannot be used in the game due to its complexity, so we needed to recreate the whole model from scratch using CADs only as a reference, keeping in mind the best possible optimization of model. When CAD data weren't available for specific parts, we used data taken from photogrammetry instead."
"The bulk of the work involves 3D modeling based on this data, which is the most time-consuming phase. Following modeling, we apply materials and textures and then perform UV mapping to ensure proper texture display. Finalization entails assembling all models and structuring them into a cohesive scene for export into the game. This phase includes creating files defining truck part parameters and their in-game economic values. Lastly, the finished model undergoes testing in collaboration with the testing department."
Of course, this whole project couldn't exist without the great collaboration with Kenworth, which the designers working on this truck praised. "The data provided by Kenworth was excellent. We received all the necessary references from them, and the entire process went smoothly," says Renju.
As was already said above, Renju focused on the interior of the truck and Daniel led the work on the exterior. What did they enjoy the most? "Working on both the dashboard and seats was a delightful experience. The final product exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly proud of it," Renju told us.
"This truck was a very interesting diversion, as I don't get to model such large projects from start to finish as much in recent years due to my other responsibilities. And due to the impressive and modern design of the T680, I was able to enjoy the work and especially the modeling part again after many years," says Daniel.
And what do the guys behind this truck think of it? Daniel told us: "I think the new T680 is really good. It is a beautiful example of modern aerodynamic yet sharply cut curves. The truck was a joy to model."
Renju agreed: "What a beautiful truck! I absolutely love its modern, aerodynamic design, and the interior looks amazing, especially the new digital dashboard."
Daniel also shared about the future of this truck and its upcoming configurations. "The special edition release marks the start, not the end of our efforts. It was a celebration of Kenworth's 100th anniversary. We've finished interior designs for the other selected cabs, and exterior work is progressing well. The truck will offer standard cab and chassis options, along with familiar accessories for our players. Plus, it'll be fully compatible with all our Paintjob Packs."
mr.cenda - Multimedia Specialist
A big chunk of work was also done by mr.cenda who made a beautiful trailer for this truck to present it to our #BestCommunityEver. This also required a lot of background research and effort. "It was an honor and a pleasure to participate in this great project. I was fortunate enough to meet the folks from Kenworth at the Truck World event in 2023. To understand their concept, to touch the truck itself, it was a huge benefit for the final video."
"I needed to put as much information as possible into the footage, which is like a minute long, to generate the right excitement. Every detail alone tells you the love that was put into the production. I trust that players enjoy driving this Kenworth in our virtual world."
We hope you've enjoyed a look under the hood of designing the Anniversary Edition of the Kenworth T680. Don't forget to follow us on our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok so you won't miss out on news about our projects.
If you're travelling from afar, the first thing that may come to your mind after a long journey may be to take a well deserved rest, or perhaps a quick stop at a Welcome Center to find out what's on offer in the area. Like many other states, our upcoming Arkansas DLC for American Truck Simulator will feature both of these, welcoming in travellers from across the USA!
Welcome Center
On your journey into Arkansas, you'll be able to discover two Welcome Centers, both designed for visitors and truckers alike. The first being on the border close to Louisiana, where you'll find a variety of parking spots, a resting area for truckers, dedicated covered picnic tables and of course, the main welcome center itself which features the state's name and official nickname, built from locally sourced native stone!
You'll find the second Welcome Center on the border with Texas on US-71, and while it features a similar design, it features a larger layout, parking and rest area. The design of the main building itself received a significant upgrade in 2017, increasing its size due to its popularity and proximity to the state line.
Rest Areas
Taking regular rest breaks is vital for drivers to combat fatigue and maintain their alertness while driving long distances. While it is required for drivers to stop for at least a 30 minute break, feel free to pull in for a rest at one of Arkansas' Rest Areas whenever you like!
One such rest area you will find is the White River Rest Area, situated nearby the picturesque White River. This rest area beckons weary travellers with its tranquil ambiance and scenic vistas.
Weigh Stations
Whilst Welcome Centers and Rest Areas are not necessary stops on one's journey, you may be legally required to pull into a Weigh Station. Their purpose is to ensure heavy vehicles comply with state weight regulations, whilst promoting road safety and preventing damage to infrastructure.
Make sure to pull in if you hear your weigh station alarm activate, failing to comply may result in a hefty fine!
With all these options to stop, we aren't slowing down our work on the Arkansas DLC. If you are excited about this upcoming state coming to American Truck Simulator, make sure to add it your Steam Wishlist! Until next time, keep on truckin'.

Today we are happy to be celebrating American Truck Simulator's 8th Anniversary! Since its release in 2016, we've come a long way in providing so much new content and so many free updates. One such project we've been continually working on is our California Rework, which sees the one of the first U.S. states to be released with our base game, being rebuilt from the ground up by our talented team and brought upto todays map quality standard. Once complete, it will be released as a free update for all current and future owners of American Truck Simulator.
This blog serves as a part 3 on 'The Golden State', so we recommend taking a read of our previous Part 1 and Part 2 blogs, if you haven't already!
CA-1
Our team has been continuing their work on the legendary CA-1/US-1 Coastline Scenic Route, which is being reworked completely from the ground up. This time, the team is focusing their efforts recreating the highway between Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo. Along this part of the CA-1, you will pass through famous coastline areas such as Big Sur, San Carpoforo Creek and Willow Creek.
As you may know, this highway is incredibly scenic and will feature many bridges and creeks which lead onto the beautiful California coastline. It is a must-drive for any American road-tripper.. or trucker!
I-5
We've also been working on part of the I-5, running between the south of Huron to Bakersfield. Along this route you'll find a mix of scenic landscapes, landmarks, and points of interest, making it a notable route for travellers. This segment of I-5 also traverses the San Joaquin Valley, which is also known for its agricultural richness and diverse scenery.
You'll be sure to find scenic landscapes and a typical Californian climate environment when travelling on this part of the Interstate!
US-99
The historic US-99, also known as the Golden State Highway, is also another route our team has been focusing on during this phase of the rework. Meandering through a diverse California landscape, the US-99 showcases the state's natural beauty. The highway will also take you past charming towns and cities, each with its unique character and landmarks.
The route also offers glimpses of California's cultural and agricultural heritage, making it a delightful journey for those seeking the state's nostalgic charm.
Can you guess where these were taken?
The team has been kind enough to provide us with quite a few images from their progress of reworking California. So we decided it would be fun for you to guess the location of these screenshots!
Think you know? Share the answers with us in the blog comments below! We look forward to sharing more of the work taking place in this phase of our the California Rework for American Truck Simulator. Until then, keep on truckin'
Embarking on a virtual journey in the upcoming Nebraska DLC promises not just highways and byways but a scenic exploration of charming towns. Uncover hidden gems as you navigate the picturesque landscapes of the Cornhusker State. Let's take a look at some of the towns you will drive through on your way!
Alma, a picturesque town, sits nestled along the Republican River. It's a small town that greets players upon arrival from Kansas. It's home to the great Harlan County Lake and also some nice historic sites.
Ansley, another delightful destination, welcomes truckers with its small-town charm. Surrounded by the stunning Nebraska landscape, it offers a refreshing break from the open road. Ansley, like Basset, is on Route US-183 and that opens up an opportunity for us in the future to consider some other important roads in Nebraska.
Auburn, with its vibrant atmosphere, showcases the heartland spirit. As players roll through its streets, they'll encounter a blend of modern amenities and classic Midwestern warmth. You can find several colorful Honeybee sculptures there which is an unmissable landmark.
Explore the charm of Bartlett, a quaint town that invites truckers to wander its peaceful streets. With its small-town atmosphere, Bartlett offers a scenic break from the open road.
As you cruise through Bassett, revel in the beauty of its wide-open spaces and take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of rural life. This town, surrounded by the picturesque Nebraska landscape, promises a peaceful driving experience that encapsulates the heartland spirit.
Beatrice, a town with a rich history, invites players to discover its unique blend of the past and present. From historic architecture to modern buildings, Beatrice provides a delightful mix for those looking to immerse themselves in the region's diverse culture. We hope truckers will appreciate plenty of historic landmarks typical for this town, especially some of its beautiful churches.
When you go to Brownville, you can't miss the iconic scenic river views. Thanks to its close proximity to the Missouri River, truckers can travel there to take a look at the dredging boat. This settlement could also serve as one of the entrances to the state of Missouri in the future.
Nestled in the Sandhills along Nebraska's Highway 2, Hyannis boasts serene landscapes and occasional lakes, offering truckers a peaceful respite to enjoy the beauty and unwind from the highway.
As the Irish capital of Nebraska, O'Neill proudly showcases its Irish identity at every turn. Green shamrocks adorn the ground and walls, while signs and landmarks paying homage to Irish culture are abound, creating a distinctive and vibrant atmosphere as you drive through.
Ogallala, situated on the edge of the Sandhills, offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. The nearby Lake McConaughy adds to the allure, creating a lovely setting that captures the essence of Ogallala's colorful past.
Red Cloud, the birthplace of renowned author Willa Cather, invites players to discover its literary heritage and explore the town that inspired some of Cather's most beloved works. Drive through the streets that echo with history and experience the connection between literature and the Nebraskan landscape.
Situated along the same route as Hyannis, Thedford bears the imprints of its fascinating past. Established as a crucial stop along the cattle-driving trail during the late 19th century, the town's roots are deeply intertwined with the Old West. Today, Thedford presents its Western heritage through well-preserved landmarks and remnants of structures that echo the town's pioneer spirit.
Lusk, Wyoming, joins the American Truck Simulator map as a crucial connecting point to Nebraska. This quaint town, set against Wyoming's picturesque backdrop, serves as a gateway between the two states. Explore Lusk's charm, from its small-town hospitality to the vast landscapes, as it becomes a notable addition to the Wyoming experience with the release of the Nebraska DLC.
Keep in mind that the photos you see here are still a work in progress. We hope you are excited to see the whole map once it's released. Don't forget to follow us on our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok so you won't miss out on any news about the Nebraska DLC or other projects. And if you haven't already, make sure to add the Nebraska DLC to your Steam Wishlist. We'll see you on the road!
Not so long ago, we announced a new DLC coming to American Truck Simulator, the Missouri map expansion. Now seems like the right time to present the heroes working hard to deliver the DLC to our #BestCommunityEver as soon as possible!
We trust you'll appreciate this showcase of the SCS map designers and DLC asset lead currently involved in the Missouri DLC and their brief messages to the #BestCommunityEver.
Patrik
Immediately after the research was done, it was obvious that Missouri is an interesting state with many things to offer for our game. As a leader and recent visitor to Missouri, I'm keen to deliver a beautiful DLC full of foresty nature, hills, nice views, and interesting cities. We are finally near the Mississippi River which was always a big milestone for me.
So far we are trying to come up with ideas on how to squeeze so much beauty into our scale and not omit anything important. I watch forum discussions pretty often to see what players expect and I try to find optimal solutions with others. We try our best, Missouri deserves it.
Pavel
It's been three years since I started working at SCS Software as a map designer. Today, I'm facing the biggest challenge of my career. St. Louis, which is a really big city. However, I've grown to love it because I've been there in real life and I've seen everything I'm creating with my own eyes. What I enjoy most is the technical side of the work and the ability to go deep into the engine, get to its limits, and pass on the experience to new colleagues. I enjoy cities and truckstops the most because they are technically challenging tasks.
Lukáš
My journey in SCS Software began during the Colorado DLC, where I experimented with my first country roads and small cities. Since then, I've been a part of the Texas and Kansas map teams. I'm always seeking new challenges. Right after Amarillo, Corpus Christi, and some parts of Houston, it was Kansas City that I enjoyed the most so far. In the upcoming Missouri DLC, I'll be working on something unique in terms of custom depots which you can look forward to!
Dubak
I have been working for the company for six years and every year the work gets more interesting. I worked on the Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Texas, and Kansas DLCs where I focused more on cities and depots. In Missouri, I will be working on Springfield, where you can look forward to many interesting areas.
Jakub
After Kansas, the Missouri DLC is my second project as a map designer in SCS. Although now I feel much more comfortable in the process of creating an interesting environment for the player, I am still trying to challenge myself and push the boundaries of what is possible to achieve. In Missouri, I really hope that I can capture the spirit of US-36 and the city of Saint Joseph, and bring you the hidden beauty of these inconspicuous places in a way that will do them the justice they deserve.
El
It's been a little over 4 years since I joined SCS as a map designer back in 2019. My main responsibility for Missouri is the city of Joplin and its surrounding roads. Outside of the map, I also focus on selecting generic models that would be best for our DLC, which are later created by our amazing 3D graphics team. What I enjoy creating the most are smaller cities and settlements as they usually have very unique architecture and atmosphere.
Jakub
I am very keen on working on Missouri as it is almost contrastingly different from what I worked on before. To add to that, I will have to wrestle with making a city for the first time. so I am excited to see the result of that. I still look forward to working on interstates and highways, as that is what I think I'm most skilled at.
Falda
I am responsible for half of the custom depots for Missouri. I made some of them for Kansas and then for Nebraska but now I am working on several depots which were not announced yet. These new depots will bring new challenges and new experiences for players. That is the part that I love most about this job because creating challenging layouts makes me think about how will players react to everything that I prepared for them.
Filip
In Missouri, I'm looking forward to creating Cape Girardeau, an unmistakable city on the Mississippi River. I hope to translate the genius loci of the riverside town both in the more industrial areas as well as in the urban part of the city.
Seki
I celebrated 8 years in SCS this month. As a DLC asset lead, I have the opportunity to influence what awesome landmarks, industries, statues, murals, and other buildings will make it into the expansion. I'm responsible for the perfect condition of these 3D models like the St. Louis Gateway Arch, Jefferson Capitol, or Springfield Underground that you come across on your travels. I am most looking forward to the new opportunities that this state will allow us to bring into our game. I won't talk about specifics so I won't take the surprise away from you. Our team will do everything possible to deliver the DLC at least as good as the previous one.
We hope you've enjoyed meeting the team working on the Missouri expansion. Remember to follow us on our social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) so you won't miss out on any news coming in the future. If you are excited about Missouri, add it to your Steam Wishlist!
We are happy to bring you another update regarding the upcoming Arkansas DLC for American Truck Simulator. Get ready for a sneak peek at some of the cities you will drive through when hauling cargo in this state!
Texarkana: A City Divided
Texarkana stands as a city divided between Texas and Arkansas, its heart sliced by the state border. To fully explore Texarkana's unique charm, players will need both the Texas and Arkansas DLCs. Notable landmarks include banks in the Arkansas half and a captivating tire factory, providing an exclusive cross-state experience. Texarkana is known for its vibrant cultural scene, offering a blend of Texan and Arkansan influences.
