This update adds the 1st REDFOR helicopter to the game - the mighty Mi-24D!



Currently this helicopter is seen by the game as a BLUFOR helicopter so it will appear at the bottom of the usual helicopter selection list.

The Hind is very much an assault helicopter. It's big, fast and heavily armoured. It can easily withstand 23mm rounds and it'll take more than one Strela to down this beast! However, pilots remain a weak point and it's best not to fly head first into a Shilka fire.

The downside is that it lacks long range precision missiles for picking off AAA/SAM threats at a distance which means you'll be getting up close and personal with either rockets (all 128 of them!), AT-2 missiles or the rapid firing (but low powered) YakB cannon. Fortunately the Hind carries a lot of flares and chaff so make sure you use them when engaging air defence units.

The Hind is also capable of carrying troops and cargo.

Flight model is as you'd expect, the Hind is heavy so takes a while to get up to full speed and, with landing gear retracted, you'll be seeing 180kts even when fully loaded. It is also a well balanced helicopter and quite easy to fly, you just have to learn to maintain speed when turning.

The Hind isn't fully complete yet. It still needs some of its IR textures adding in and some suitable sound effects for the landing gear sequence and there are some other minor bits and pieces which I need to fix such as the Damage System showing it has a Radar but you should be able to complete mission with it without to many issues.

Next week I'll be adding in the AT-6 Spiral/Shturm which will give the Hind some long range punch as well as the S-8 80mm rockets which will give some extra punch against MBTs. I should also be able to drop in the "P" version of the Hind with the side mounted canons and the "VP" version which has twin canons in the turret.

It will then be back to missions where I want to start working on more complex missions such as escorting convoys, attacking enemy convoys, providing CAS to units attacking targets etc. This will require ground forces to actually move which should be a very interesting addition to the game.

I will also be looking at the air defence saturation and making this a configurable option. Getting this balanced is important for these lower tiered helicopters that lack the stand off capabilities of the Apache/Viper.

As always - feedback welcome ːsteamhappyː

In the 1.49 update for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, we're excited to introduce a range of enhancements that will further improve your virtual trucking experience. Let’s take a look at the visual additions that await you on your journeys.


First and foremost, after many requests, we've added the Moon to our night sky! It's a subtle but remarkable touch that adds an extra layer of realism and wonder to your virtual trucking adventures. Curiously, it's worth mentioning that what might appear as a simple addition – the Moon – has posed some significant challenges for some time. Integrating the Moon into the night sky has required casting, rendering, and calculating lunar light, managing reflections in water bodies, dealing with wet roads, and addressing mirror effects, among other things. However, we're delighted that we've finally been able to incorporate something as fundamental as the Moon into our in-game night sky.




In addition to that, we've also reimagined the night sky, introducing dynamic stars that gently twinkle, enhancing the overall authenticity of the night-time experience.




Finally, the skyboxes will now be High Dynamic Range (HDR), which means there will be richer, more vibrant colours in the skies and our weather visual effects have also received an upgrade. Thunderstorms now include visible lightning, offering a more immersive experience. And make sure to keep an eye on the night sky in certain regions, you might be pleasantly surprised with what you will notice.




To sum it all up, we’ve also prepared a special video for you showcasing all of these changes. It’s definitely worth checking out!


With these additions, the 1.49 update aims to enhance the realism and beauty of your trucking world, promising a more enchanting and immersive journey. We have more changes to present to you in the near future, so make sure to give us a follow on social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to always be notified of any news.

Hey everyone,

This week, I've been hard at work, striving to make City Game Studio even more enjoyable and accessible. Your feedback and support continue to drive me in this ongoing journey.

I've added a feature that might seem small but enhances the overall user experience. Now, you can close tooltips with a simple click on it, streamlining your interactions.

In response to feedback from users with lower resolutions, I've made improvements as well. The currency and fanbase change labels will now hide on low-resolution screens, giving you a cleaner interface.

Low-resolution screens had caused some icons to appear distorted, disrupting the game's aesthetic. I've tackled this issue, ensuring a smooth and visually appealing experience, no matter your screen size.

Preparing for the future, I've refreshed the gamepad layout to better align with Steam Deck compatibility. I'm committed to ensuring that your experience on this exciting platform is top-notch.

Despite the ongoing challenge of waiting for Steam's review to make City Game Studio Steam Deck compatible, I'm not slowing down. I'm continuing to fine-tune the game to ensure it's a fantastic experience for all.

Thank you for your unwavering support and feedback. Together, we're shaping City Game Studio into a truly remarkable gaming haven. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Cheers,
Xavier aka Binogure
