Michelin Fan Pack

http://blog.scssoft.com/2017/01/michelin-fan-pack.html

We are proud to introduce a new set of truck tyres and truck accessories, officially licensed from Michelin to Euro Truck Simulator 2. We are complementing them by several "aftermarket" goodies and paintjobs to create a mix that should bring a smile to every Michelin fan's face.

Michelin is one of the largest tyre manufacturers in the world, acknowledged as an innovator with a history spanning over 120 years. Michelin's brand identity is immediately recognizable. The symbol of the company - Bibendum, the Michelin Man - is one of the world's oldest trademarks, it has become a cultural phenomenon.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update 1.27 Open Beta

Today is the day to start 1.27 Update Open Beta. It took us a bit more time than we anticipated to get the release prepared; we have been busy addressing problems reported during ATS Open Beta. Most of them would also be manifested in the ETS 2 builds, and it makes little sense to release anything with known issues.
No need to write about the Liftable Trailer Axles once again, but if you've missed it, you can find our previous mention about it here.

Game Updates Arrive Today!

The wait for the final version of the 1.6 update for American Truck Simulator and 1.27 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 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.

MAIN FEATURES

• [ETS2 only] 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.
 

• [ATS only] Weigh station pass device

The windshield-mounted box expands situational awareness for those who prefer to switch off all user interface elements for an immersive experience. It works the same way as the weigh station functionality which is a part of the on-screen Advisor "widget".
 

 

• Trailer Liftable Axles
• Differential Lock
• Adaptive transmission modes (power, normal, eco)
• Improved engine simulation model (friction, braking, consumption)

MINOR CHANGES

• [ETS2 only] 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).

MODDING INFO

• 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).

WORLD OF TRUCKS

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

Heavyweights to enter the ring soon

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!

SCANIA S and R Truck Models Development Update

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!

ETS2: Heavy Cargo Pack DLC is here!

At SCS Software, we always have several internal projects under way, big and small, in various stages of completion - from pure concept research to pre-production, to full-blown production. We try to keep things mostly under wraps until we gain enough confidence that a project is viable. It is always a great pleasure to finally make the announcement when we are ready to release something new!

Today, we are proud to bring you a new DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 - the Heavy Cargo Pack is here!

Along with this new pack, there is a lot of content which will be added into the base game as a FREE update for everyone. But first, let's check out the new content in the DLC:

Il team SCS Software ha appena annunciato una gustosa novità in arrivo entro quest'anno per il suo Euro Truck Simulator 2, apprezzatissimo simulatore di guida dedicato al mondo dei camion e dei trasporti ambientato in Europa. Euro Truck Simulator 2: Italia è il nome scelto per il nuovo DLC, che ovviamente ci permetterà (finalmente!) di girovagare con il nostro amato truck per varie città ed ambientazioni del nord della nostra penisola. Come vedete dai primi screens di anteprima, la cura realizzativa è come sempre al massimo livello!

Bella Italia

We are proud to announce the "Euro Truck Simulator 2: Italia" map expansion. Our ETS2 map design team is working on it with maximum effort, and we are looking forward to bringing you our rendition of beautiful Italy with its rich history and modern industry.
 

 

You are most likely aware that the game already contains several cities from northern Italy. These areas of the game world will receive an extra layer of polish to coincide with the DLC release so even players who decide to wait with the purchase of the new DLC will benefit from a partial upgrade of the game map.

Our map designers have fallen in love with the new region right from the research stages - there are so many diverse environments to combine! From tall mountains to the shores of the seas, from manicured farmland to wilder and more arid places, it was clear that we are looking at quite a challenging and demanding task. We tried our best to depict the typical features of Italy from behind the wheel, like roads leading through the Apennines, where tunnels and bridges alternate with scenic vistas and curvy segments, opening the view to distant horizons. The geography and shape of Italy have also led to a relatively high concentration of cities and industries in the new DLC.
 

 

If everything goes according to the plan, we expect to release this latest Euro Truck Simulator 2 map expansion towards the end of this year. We hope that you will be as excited about our work as we are, and appreciate our efforts to show Italy for what it is: Bella Italia!
