More pictures from the American Truck Simulator

Today we would like to show you a few more images from our upcoming American Truck Simulator.


Needless to say American Truck Simulator team is trying to push the fidelity of the map even further. Over the past months, we have invested heavily into improving our internal tools. We always strive to refine the way we build our worlds...


...sharper textures, new building and intersection prefabs, city and nature assets, new weather setups, HDR and so on... making truer impression of American roads.


As our long term plan is to push forward both ETS2 and ATS under the umbrella of World of Trucks, both projects will benefit massively from each other's new features.

  1. Those graphics are brilliant, SCS.
    Just out of interest, could these sort of desert textures be used in ETS2 for places like Spain and Portugal, or maybe Italy? It would be great if they could.

    1. I think that would be awesome, good suggestion although not these exact textures just similar so that Spain and Portugal don't look like America. :P

    2. I am ready to do the pre-order of this game,and I think many too would do so

      Delete
    3. I'm pretty sure you can already pre-order it at online webshops.
      I wouldn't do that though, I'd wait a little longer. SCS hasn't even given a release date yet.

  2. epic guys, just epic, with this and the planned improvements to ETS2 the future is looking good for both games, keep them coming

  3. Very Nice!
    I think I speak for a general idea of ​​community: more news on the new trucks and maps in ETS2!

  4. ATS will be your crowning glory SCS. It will be your biggest money maker and if you add the right gameplay elements. AI players / Competition, Contracts, Trailers, and more you will eventually create the ultimate trucking experience for a true World Of Trucks Achievement.

  5. Wow! Thanks a lot for these great images. And for communication :) I'm looking forward to driving through such magnificent landscapes and, hopefully, bigger cities.

  9. as soon as game is released im going to make a mod for big heavy loads for the james k dalton highway in alaska and a snow mod for that area. will probably even get my custom Mack hauler for all the jobs

    ReplyDelete
  10. I have a question / proposal for SCS: why not making ATS and ETS2 available for ONLINE playing? I mean....how hard can that be? All the MMO games like Star Trek Online or Star Wars or Need For Speed World run on the same basic idea. I'm just saying it would be the next level to meet real truckers on the streets...for groups..companies...and have that reality feel while driving!

    Who's with me?

    1. because then you have to make a game or a large down payment or monthly payment

      otherwise come crowd of children or idiots who play will only hinder the people who came to play

      Delete
    2. "How hard can it be?"
      I think you have no idea how much work it is.

      And no, I'm not with you. If I want imbecils ruining my game by crashing into me, I'll play GTA or TDU 2.
      I've said what I do think is a good idea a couple of blogpost back: I think itd be wonderful if players could make lobbies, with administrators and their own rules. SCS regulated lobbies would suck 'cause there will be noone to check if the players are all behaving nicely.

      But even then, multiplayer is not a priority for most people I think.

      Delete
    3. MMO-Trolling, the never ending story...
      about MMO you can't compare star trek online or NFS with ets2...
      We don't want shoot other trucks and we don't want race other trucks.

      Delete
    4. What is the purpose of turning a truck simulator to MMO? Multiplayer games has competation in their core but this is a SIMULATION game, not a racing game.

      There is no competation this type of game and there shouldn't be . I realy wonder what do you expect to gain playing online?

      Delete
    5. I don't want to play with other people, no way single player is the name of my game. :) ATS looks awesome and ETS 2 will be improved in the future. SCS you bring us good news most of the time. Thank you for this information. bolus(World of Trucks)

      Delete
    6. I vote for the multiplayer mode too.
      As a solution for "imbecils ruining my game by crashing into me" I would suggest to make online mode very strict. For example: you can't play online mode if you have less than 16 lvl in the single player mode. And if you crush your truck 2-3 times in one day - you lose your "driving license" for another day or so. I think it's pretty acceptable.

      Delete
    7. I think co-op would be alright, but not MMO style online.

      I would enjoy being able to play with a friend online and both find a trip to the same city and travel there in convoy, because in real life we often travel in the company I drive for like this. Though not many benefits in this simulator, as you don't have to worry about break downs, trailer light malfunctions, hard-to-see pedestrians at night etc to warn/help the guy following you with. And since CB is virtual you don't need to be traveling together to talk anyway.

      Either way SCS don't have time to do it at the moment.

      Delete
    8. Should at least have an option to host a session ourselves, similar to farm sim. No MMO services required.

      But before that I'd like to see/follow my AI trucks/drivers out there.

      Delete
    9. It would be cool but really "how hard can it be" how about you try to make servers for anything and you will see "how hard it can be" then on top of that think of all the data and I personally would think its cool but I don't want to be crashed into by some guy to troll me, they have to make stuff were you can report players for trolling, they have to pay to have servers, think of all the lag in the city's even more than already. They have to fix all of that before they can even start doing that.

      Delete
    10. I agree with the fact that idiots will crash the hell out of you. But regarding what the big bunch of Dexters above me are saying "ewww, it's a simulation game, it's not NFS. Those are competition games, this ain't, what's to gain from online playing?"Have you ever heard of Flight Simulator? It's just the biggest simulator ever made with a simulation ratio of 1:1...guess what, they have multiplayer

      Delete
    11. So what? Where is fun on that Being Flight Simulator online? Please, tell us so we can understand.

      Delete
    12. Flight Simulator is something completly different.
      Try ramming a jet that's going 500 kph on a map that's (as you said) 1.1.
      Besides that, Flight Simulator is pretty difficult, so I guess the average age is a bit higher.

      No-clips trucks is the answer. No accidents between players and no harrasment. And if a player hits an AI car, it should directly become no-clip as well.

      Anyway, I still think multiplayer is way too much to ask from SCS.

  11. ça fait envie... vivement la sortie !

  12. Very impressive and nice work SCS. It makes ETS2 look old. Are you using a new graphics engine to ETS2 or are you simply not doing the generic look as you did in ETS2, i.e. roads, junctions and cities all look the same except for the odd landmark. Looking at these screen shots of ATS it appears to be in a different league of its own, all very unique unlike ETS2.

  21. SCS can't you keep this game ATS simulator realistic as possible a men like if you jook up the trailer the air line brake line light line to and can you look up on you tube to learned HOW TO USE THE JAKE BRAKE :-)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They should implement better jake brake options. In my friends Kenworth (Detroit Series 60), as well as on/off he has 3 options, apply the jake effect to 2, 4 or all 6 cylinders. This way you can control speed better with the jakes.

      Also I've seen jake brakes setup so that when it's 'on' it still only works if the accelerator isn't being pressed, so you can leave it on through tight corners and let off the accelerator to slow down with jakes then accelerate like normal out of corner, then let off accelerator for next corner, rather than keep switching jakes themselves on/off via switch.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Please, please, please, please, please keep the option to NOT use HDR/bloom. Aside from the performance aspect it just isn't a realistic representation of what the human eye sees but what a camera sees. I want to "be" playing a person looking out of the truck, not a camera. It''s not realism. It's an effect.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. +1 for your wish. From my point of view, not because it's realistic/not realistic, but because personally I get a headache from HDR, it's really painful for my eyes. Alright, others likes it, so keeping option for turning it on/off is solution how everybody can enjoy these great games.

      Delete
  36. First of all you must change the game engine with a more optimized one. ETS2 is nice but the lack of optimization of the engine affects the gameplay on a decent PC like mine. This game shouldnt get much of a trouble for my pc on ultra but, still i get graphic spikes, especially when driving inside the cities. Also, you can add microvibrations when driving to simulate the road quality because we all know that no road is perfectly smooth.

  40. Graphics, graphics, graphics.

    All well and good, if there's also been an improvement in physics, as this is a truck simulator after all.

    And don't forget American trucks don't have synchro-mesh gearboxes so you have to rev-match upshifts and downshifts. Without this requirement the game will be instant-arcade for anyone wishing to drive with a manual transmission.

    I want to see the ability for the trucks to slide in the wet. I want my trailer to be able to jacknife. I want to see driving on the soft shoulder disrupt the traction. I want to see any gravel/dirt roads behave like they should. I don't want my 5 year old nephew to be able to control an 18 wheeler at 90mph in the wet in a simulator.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah, I also think that rev-matching is a must for ATS. It'd be great to have it as an option so people who don't like it can turn it off.

      Delete
    2. + 1

      More realistic physics (including rev-matching for manual 'boxes) is definitely needed! If it's just like ETS2 physics I'll get bored straight away, been there done that (with my eyes closed and hands tied behind my back).

      Delete
    3. PLEASE more realistic physics, this game has gone from simulator to arcade in ONE patch.

      Delete
    4. + 1

      I agree. A total package of realistic physics, as well giving the game a "total" realistic value as to giving it it's true name of being called a SIMULATOR. I enjoy ETS2, and try to find all realistic mods for it (including American trucks and trailers [not saying European trucks aren't worth anything, I just prefer American trucks]) so that I can feel some what at home behind the wheel.

      SCS, keep up the good work. The game looks awesome so far. Open the site and give a launch date, and I will definitely have my wallet ready and waiting.

      Delete
    5. + 1

      Make the physics more realistic, and if you have to, give assist options for all the n00bs who can't drive.

      You could have two manual options (like you have for auto), real and simple. Simple manual = how it is in ETS2 and real = you must rev match gear changes or it won't go into gear and you hear grinding noises and force feedback from wheel etc plus it slowly damages gear box over time.

  45. Hi SCS!

    Judging by your screenshots so far, I unfortunately don't get the american feel. As an example, please be aware that a lot of major highways in the US is 3 to 4 lanes in each direction.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i see a lack of feeling in ets2 sometimes but only after i took a ride on a german autobahn the feeling is completely different the curvy highways in ets2 and the straight traffic filled lanes in reality but i think they get better game by game so don't worry

      Delete
    2. Most major highways are two lanes except as you get closer to major cities.

  46. Put double trailer functionality back in your game code, or expect to lose a lot of American/Australian players again (like happened in ETS2!)

      SCS doesnt have to flood the traffic with them, they can keep them "very rare" as you put it.

    3. "Very rare?" I guess that depends on where one lives. Living in NW Indiana just at the Illinois/Indiana state line, I see as many as 300 per day passing by, hauling double or even triple trailers. Mostly they are UPS and FedEx though...

  49. It does look REALLY, REALLY good and I can't wait to jump in on this game. One question though... Now I don't know about all you other bloggers who play ETS 2 but has ANYONE had a problem with your truck forcing (turning left and/or right) AUTOMATICALLY? Even on straightaway road, going the speed limit chilling out and suddenly, it's nothing but guardrail and grill! Very disappointing that this happens and wondering if SCS will look into it and/or fix it and will we see the same problem in ANY? DaSquirrelsNuts, he streams every Sunday evening if you don't know, had a problem with it in one of his videos as well. Can someone elaborate on this? Any input is good input. Thanks!

    1. I use my G27 steering wheel, everything works fine, but if I press the 'left' or 'right' arrows on my keyboard, the in-game steering wheel turns left or right in less than one second.
      So... It might be your keyboard...

      IDK really, this never randomly hapened to me, it only happens when I press one of the arrow keys on my keyboard.

      So check all your wires and make sure everything is plugged in correctly.

      Hoped this helped you a bit.

    2. I had that issue when I used the Xbox steering wheel. Stoped happening when I went to another steering wheel. I use the g27 know, But uses the Logitech MOMO for a good while no problems. MAy what you are using.

  64. Wow, each day I see new blogs concerning ATS, I can't wait to play it. I'm a big fan of Simulators and trucking is one of my favorites. The pictures of cities, deserts, and a motel is outstanding. The team is really making magic with this project.

    I see that there is a possibility of over 100+ cities? Outstanding? My dream is for a game to keep me occupied for a long time and just when I think I complete or get to the end; more content is added. I love developing teams going for the gold and it looks like this team is going for it. Keep it up!

    I would love to see highway interchanges, living cities; "living AI police," and it would be one of a kind if I was able to or if I was able to hire help to help unload what's in my trailer that I'm hauling. If it's a docking station or a gas station (unloading fuel or even loading it from a depot).

    Would love to be able to get out of my rig to eat (besides having to rest at certain points, wish I would be forced to eat also) at a diner along the way or at a truckstop, stop at a hotel, motel (actually going in and paying for and going to my room to rest); stop at a truck stop and perhaps talk to other drivers or if there are drivers looking for work, buying a home (my own home base), buying a truck warehouse for my company (and be able to expand it) with a office and hired staff etc. LoL I know Im getting ahead of myself and salivating but as I said, I'm a die hard simulator fan.

    Has there been any mention of a Steam Early Access? I wouldn't mind buying this in Early Access. I know it would be beta but taking part on this would be fantastic.

    Keep up the good work guys. I'm patiently waiting!

  74. Good evening team game developers ETS 2 .
    In one of the groups I arranged a poll shall we say, on the theme that the players would like to see in the immediate update for this game .
    A list of players most want to upgrade in the near :
    1 ) - Ability to leave only at gas stations that would fill a truck , that would be an opportunity to go to the hotel to sleep .
    2) - The possibility that when a flat tire , you could go out and disappoint him.
    3) - New trucks such as (Renault Tanger T - Mercedes Benz MP4 - Daf Xf Euro 6)
    4 ) - Ability to call for help on the radio if there are problems .
    5) - Smoke from a pipe in real life .
    6) - The ability to go out in the parking lot where there are trucks with drivers talking and smoking .
    7) - Possibility to adjust the headlight range .
    8) - Traces of tire tread during emergency braking .

    Please consider as soon as possible and offer my answer as soon as possible! Thank you for your attention.

    1. "2) - The possibility that when a flat tire , you could go out and disappoint him."

      The tire is already flat, I think it's disappointed enough.

      "5) - Smoke from a pipe in real life ."

      I think you have definitely smoked from a pipe in real life.

    3. possibility to improve english ;) just jokin'

      some of your ideas are ok but they'd need a lot of work and completeley new written codes and that would take a long time and i don't think that getting out for flat tires is needed that often but i like point 5 if you try to say sth. about the exhaust (?)

  84. SCS, can you guy's include all the trucks from 18 Wheels Of Steel American Long Haul into ATS? I really like the old trucks. And also have all the unique sounds from each truck from real life.

    1. I wouldn't like that too much imo. But it should include new trucks. And all the class types like Class 8 and Class 6 and all that. And they should be licensed.

      Delete
  85. I noticed in 18 WOS that when the truck stops it does not have that air sound like in real life. Can that sound be added in ATS?

    Also, can the trucks be bumpier along with the controller vibrating along with it?

    I have ridden in a truck in real life and have came close to hitting my head on the ceiling a few times.

  86. I think that air sound is from the E-Brake, when you pull it, It makes that air release sound. That would be awesome if that sound was added.

  87. dear scs . I think it would be if you raise Ets2 game to another level in the next patch which you will launch and here I mean tuning as the home of many items on the lights attached to the side that nothing has been done since the game launched can you do something at the back of the car but not on the front grille to be able to improve with a LED style lights . and I would like to make a suggestion to the physics of the truck I played SPIN TIRES is a great game like graphics and physics but the truck is much more improved than what you have done so far and who has played knows what I mean I think it would be good to play it and I less and why not try to bring an improvement of the physics of SPIN TIRES game or even look at the youtube video after the game and bring the physical and Ets2 . After waiting a extend our maps Hungary and Romania follows are just at the border ... good thoughts and I wish you a relative improvement played around and why not ... beautiful pictures Ats maps .

  92. Please add police cars.. I mean that they can pull you over if you speeding.. Just a little movie showing you getting a ticket. Plus implement weight scales like in real life here. So when you drive buy you just have to pull over and go through it if you don't you get a ticket. And realism.. Leave it the way it is it's perfect in ETS2 no need to hook up houses and stuff..

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yes about weigh stations and police cars because here in the US, we don't really have speed cameras except for a few and a lot of police. But there should be more houses and apartments. Or 3 stages: Country, Suburbs, City.

    2. It's truck simulator.. not police chase simulator..

  94. This is cool. It looks like a desert sort of terrain. It seems like this would be in southern California. It would be cool if somehow we could go to Hawaii and Alaska.

  102. I really hope ATS isn't any more PC demanding than ETS2, my computer can only just run ETS2 and I definitely cannot afford a new one :(

    ReplyDelete
  103. USA is such a great place, but meantime, a very large one, so i doubt they could represent it well , with all details you (we) are demanding.
    for start they will make just a few states, and i guess the industrial area from every city will not be larger than in ETS2 (5, maximum 6 streets). not to mention that they aren't americans, haven't lived there.
    maybe i am wrong, but i predict this game will never be better than ETS2, cause it use the same engine, and they try to use a great amount of material and physics from ETS into ATS. I can-t blame them, they could not yet compare with the creators of GTA.. but i wish they listen more to our demands and tailor the in-game changes , fixes and add-ons after our wishes.

  104. Realistic Air pressure on the brake if I apply a lot of air all the tire's well lock up end more realistic jeke brake s possible to ..........Include oakland California too please

    ReplyDelete
  105. I think it would benefit them enormously to make it state by state, releasing it with a higher fidelity and starting with an initial region, say, the west coast. That would cover California(10-15 good cities), Oregon(a solid 4 cities) and Washington(three or four). Cover the various mountain passes and set it up for the other states, then just expand with DLC the rest of the states, Texas has a lot of laces you could deliver to, while Oklahoma would only have four or five, so it would balance it self out and would lessen the impact on their servers while also lowering the download time. When you buy the game, you would just get the west coast, or the east coast, then expand it while playing the core game. I would support this, since it would keep them funded and would make a much larger game for all of us, I know Europe is big, but the USA alone has 100+ cities that are the size of the ones in ETS2, making all that into one game for a single release would be daunting, even for Rockstar.

    And please, please, please try to get Freightliner to allow the Argosy to be represented, it is the only COE we still have on offer in the USA, and I think it would be a great way to get people interested in the game. Also, when you order trucks, have a way that you can order a "glider", that is a popular thing in the USA right now. As always, I offer my knowledge as both an American truck driver and a limited beta tester from several years ago to help in any way possible on this game

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. A "Glider" (since you didn't say) is just a new truck without an engine, transmission and rear axles.

      Why would that be good in this game, and how would it even work? I mean, I doubt they will even have rear axles as a seperate part like they do with engine/transmission options.

      You can't take the parts out of your old truck (in the game) and there is no other store to get the parts cheaper from, so I don't see the point.

  106. Really think that just the addiction of the option of buying own trailer, would be a good progress to this game. Is it so difficult to implement this option? We would just park our truck in the same spots we are supposed to pick or deliver the trailers. Easy, job completed.

    By now I would think SCS would have noticed that this is one of the more frequent requests, and a very easy one to implement too.

    Food for thought, anyhow thanx for a great game =)

  107. Looking impressive .... waiting with anticipation for continued updates on ATS and intrigued about future for ETS2.

    I would certainly look for more of the "Simulator" aspects in ATS then what ETS2 offers at least in the setup of the game where immersion breaking options can be turned off ..e.g. the parking dialogue..... every time !!

    Thanks for the continued updates and community support SCS .... best of luck with the remainder of the developement

  108. Im excited and like the pics from ATS, but one question will Michigan be one of the states we can drive thru? The Great Lake State

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If I got them right, they plan to expand the map until it covers the whole North American continent. So the answer is yes, unless they have to readjust their plans. But as they chose California as their first state, I assume it will take them some time to get to Michigan...

      Delete
    2. Just speculation, but I think they'll expand east first. Cali has a desert landscape, so does Arizona, so does New Mexico and so does Texas (half of it).
      It'd make more sense. They can pretty much make those states with the same landscape (sort of atleast).
      But as I said, this is just speculation from me.

  110. This is very beautifull, really awsome, but just like the way it happens in ETS2, if we don´t have a REPLAY function, even if it is from the last 2 minutes, we will not see half of the map details.

    In my oppinion, REPLAY function is one of the most important features to add on in this games, and i am not only talking about Map details, also very impostant it´s the possibility for us to watch our parking manouvers, for example.

    Please think about this, much more usefull than seat adjustement for now.

    I agree, but if this is the case I hope these events aren't completly random, they should happen if the driver causes them.

    Hope so , these technical issues will be due to player's actions such as going too fast when motor is really over heat or ride truck in grass and make tires flat.
