ATS World Rescale is released in Update 1.5! We are happy to announce that our work on the rescale of American Truck Simulator world is finished! Looking back, we see thousands of hours that we have invested into this project over the last six months. Our efforts have produced a result which we’re very proud of; the reworked road network is much closer to reality. We've made another big step on our quest to show the United States as they really are, as they can be seen by truck drivers in real life. In recent months, we have kept you updated about the rescale project of the American Truck Simulator world from 1:35 to 1:20. The changes are quite extensive, with the different world scale comes also a longer day-night cycle and rebalancing of the economy, so the gaming experience is changing way more than would be expected through "mere patch" of an existing game. If you want a small refresher on the changes, we are linking the relevant blog topics below: The Rescale – basic pillars of the project and the reasons for its creation American Truck Simulator Rescale Screenshots – screenshots from rescale project American Truck Simulator Rescale Screenshots #2 – the second series of screenshots ATS World Rescale Open Beta – notes for open beta 1.5 update and main features Rescaled map main features: Scale 1:35 → 1:20 – 1,75x larger map Hundreds of miles of new longer roads A new city - Santa Maria Completely reworked city – Oxnard Reworked roadsystem topology: New Interstate I-580 and I-80 connections I-5 near LA topology corrected I-5 Redding topology corrected New stretch of CA-101 [*]Correct interstate junctions - no more same level crossing, freeways exiting on itself, etc [*]28 reworked or new junctions - most notably - Reno, San Francisco, San Diego, L.A.

We would like to sincerely thank the fan community for the awesome feedback on Open Beta of Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.26. We have received a lot of valuable input on the new content and tons of reports for little things that we would have almost missed but that were fixed thanks to you. We are now ready to make the 1.26 Update live for everyone. The game will actually update itself automatically on Steam. The legacy non-Steam edition of the game will have the update ready for download in a couple of days. If you participated in the Open Beta on Steam, please don't forget to switch back to the non-beta branch in ETS2 properties. We have already covered the changes and improvements coming with this update extensively, in the post annoucing the Open Beta, but let's review them again so that you have all the news in one scoop. Older Parts of France Reworked The main star of this map refresh is the city of Paris, which actually has been completely rebuilt to make it way more elaborate than before! We have re-touched the existing region of northern France in the base game. It's not a total rework from scratch, but we believe that you will appreciate some very visible changes in the world; new models, new intersections and use of higher resolution textures in many places.New Transmissions for all Trucks We have adjusted and added some new options for the transmissions of all the trucks tractors in the game, so now there are more options to choose - from the standard or overdrive style of transmissions or even the Allison 4500. We hope that especially the players who care for more choices and precision of the vehicle simulation will appreciate the new adjustment, now there are new opportunities to play with the ratio between engine and wheels.Upgrade Shop & Truck Browser Search Tool A new search line was added into the game's upgrade shop and truck browser screens, so now you will be able to look up for example a specific paintjob or a particular engine upgrade. This new feature will come handy if you own a lot of our minor DLCs or if you happen to have lots of truck tuning mods installed.Game Changes Adjustable interior FOV per truck Added parking difficulty (preset option included) Truck repair/refuel performed by hired driver costs money, included in logs Added informational dialog showing when game detects upgrade or downgrade Added pounds + short tonnes as weight unit option Better trailer air pressure simulation Low air warning should only be active with running engine Revised rolling resistance computations Hired driver use the very same formulas for eco skill as the player Info for Modders Changed map parameters (climate_profile, map_data) Moddable interior camera zoom parameters. (speed, factor) 1 degree rotation on Ctrl + R, 90 degree rotation on Home Merged editable sign and sign dialog Refresh sign template and its model from content browser Added letter-spacing to sign editor Store content browser navigation history Support for day/nigh effect switching and child hookups for lod_model_hookup_u You can follow this link to see the whole changelog of this update.
