Just today we have finished programming one more neat feature - support for different color dashboard button back-light. Until now we were limited just to white back-light, but in reality way more color variety is used by truck manufacturers.
The screenshot below shows that immediately we have started improving the just-released Euro 6 DAF, for the next Euro Truck Simulator 2 update we would like to improve as much of our truck fleet for night driving as possible.
We have a plea for the real truckers among you. Finding good reference is very hard for us. We have taken tons of photos and videos of interiors while we test-drive the trucks, but we had seldom done so in the dark. If you have access to a truck featured in our game, would you be so kind to send us a photograph of the interior, with engine and lights on, taken in the evening? To give us a clear idea of the night-lit dashboard, you would have to take it without use of flash, so that the elements of the dashboard can be recognizable.

Very nice feature!
ReplyDeletescs can you post a blog post tomorrow showing ATS just to cheer us for the weekend?
Deletethanks
very good SCS. U r getting there
ReplyDeleteTHX
nice one ... good job guys ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, but isn't the DAF dashboard light orange in real life and not red?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if you can add colors to choose. I like e.g. blue once but some of trucks manufacturer can use e.g. red. It would be nice feature.
ReplyDeleteNice Work.!! Make the dash board lights customizable with different colors.!!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice!

Deleteit would be nice if you could put sound to the sat nav
ReplyDeleteyeh that would be fantastic
DeleteThat would be awesome, ETS2 would be perfect if it had sound
Deleteplease make volvo 750 dashboard GPS bigger.
ReplyDeleteand talking gps would be really cool too.
I think, you have to make interior light mod. and also smart light sensor would be perfect.
ReplyDeletePay special attention to Scania Dash, the headlight warning / icon has been missing since forever
ReplyDeleteAnd the green retarder icon when in use
DeleteSCS team, missing only the trailer brake
ReplyDeleteThe trailer brake is not known anymore in the Netherlands. You can only oprate that from the trailer.
DeleteDue to subcontractors in the past who only braked on the trailer to save costs on their own truck
Same in Iceland. EU regulations. No more trailer brakes, which makes a whole lot of sense, because of unscrupulous drivers that did just what Bjorn described. Despicable.
DeleteI have an idea - how about you work a little bit on this freakishly stupid AI? Or route planner for gps navigation for players to plan their travel by themselves? Or seasons, with snow and realistically behaving snowy road surface? Or collisions mechanics?
ReplyDeleteI'd take any of these over even new DAF truck anytime, pretty cabin lights are least needed thing really.
best idea
DeleteNice! That's my cup of tea haha.
ReplyDeleteHigh beam don't blind you which makes night driving boring since you easliy forget about the high beam is on.
ReplyDeleteIv mentioned this several times can you please put an option in to activate front fog lights please?

ReplyDeleteHey guys, can you make a key on keybord for clutch? Hold the key for clutch and shift gear... That would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteHello SCS Software. I am Brazilian and I am a lover of your product, the ETS-2. I would like to give some hints for improvements in the game as the sounds of the parking brake (hand brake), brake sounds of differentiated service for each model. A good idea also is the sounds that the wheel makes when it passes some currency asphalt. Big hug to the team, Ranon.
ReplyDeleteIt´s reading good! I´am tensely :-D
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany.
so i guess we will get that in next update which would be in 3-4 months? maybe with proper truck sounds?
ReplyDeleteAnd with trailers that something new will? When the animation of the suspension will do (remove karamcheti)
ReplyDeleteGood job! Please more info of tuning dlc.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME
ReplyDeleteGood job!!!
ReplyDeletemy great asking a volume control in the cab
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to press every button on the dashboard with mouse control. More realistic trailer fastening would be awesome too. And of course, seasons, with icy roads and snow in the winter. At least when the Scandinavia dlc is out.
ReplyDeleteno mohly by jste zavést to že si budeme moci kupovat návěsy a posléze si je brat na ruzné zakázky
ReplyDeleteNice Trucking ma mennnn....
ReplyDeleteWhen will be released Scandinavia ADD ON? Any news about AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR?

ReplyDeleteAdjusting the steering wheel closer to the front of the glass as it was at the beginning of the daf and louder sounds in kabinie.SCS.
ReplyDeletewant! link to download, please!
ReplyDeleteGreat improvement in dashboard light! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI've just bought ETS2 today and I gotta tell you, it's worth every penny I've spent and is the best driving simulator out there. Great job and keep up the good work on this game and on the upcoming ATS. Greetings from Egypt.
ReplyDeleteIt could be nice if the GPS talked. And if there was mile long ques. :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice improvement. I suggest that you include a REPLAY button in the game too. Just like SCANIA Truck Driving Simulator.
ReplyDeleteBed boy i 550 km urgent charge does not release please

ReplyDeletePlease give us the option to allow us to make the backlights in any color we want to on a truck we own. More custom options for the inside of our trucks would be great :)
