Prehistoric Paint Jobs DLC

It may look as if we are trying to ride the current dino craze, but in fact this paint job set was put on our wishlist almost a year ago. Dinosaurs were a clear choice when we tried to ask our own kids for a suggestion on what to put on the trucks. We believe that the resulting paint jobs will make them happy, and perhaps strike a chord with some of you as well. ;)

We are happy to announce that after a short but productive beta the Update 1.19 for ETS2 is ready for release. If you are on Steam your game is probably getting updated automatically just as you are reading this. Retail edition users can use the Updater to grab this update immediately.

Let us recap what's coming with this update:

• Hungary expansion - we have added two new cities to the Going East! content: Pécs and Szeged
• Mod Manager - for ease of preview and organization of modded content. We encourage all mod makers to check out Mod Manager documentation for instructions on how to make sure that your mods are well prepared for the new Mod Manager.
• Manual control for automatic transmission (shifting hints, switch between manual/auto)
• Controls for dashboard navigation map (zoom, turn off)
• Driver controlled trip info stored in truck computer (distance, consumption)

• Matching truck cabin interior looks shown in exterior view.
• Improved readability of dashboard info in some trucks (computer display, GPS map)
• Added wheel sounds on different surfaces (+ re-balanced sounds)
• Added sounds for sticks and buttons in truck cabin

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the beta participants for your help in polishing this update. It was also fantastic to see the reception and feedback for the Mod Manager feature. We hope that in a short time all modders will be able to utilize its features so that the players would have an easier time tracking, sorting and organizing their favorite mods.

The most prominent features of this update are:

• Hungary expansion - we have added two new cities to the Going East! content - Pécs and Szeged
• Mod Manager - for ease of preview and organization of modded content. We encourage all mod makers to check out Mod Manager documentation for instructions on how to make sure that your mods are well prepared for the new Mod Manager.

You can find the beta in the public_beta branch on Steam. (Steam client -> LIBRARY -> right click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 -> Properties -> Betas tab -> public_beta - 1.19 public beta)

Please note that Open Betas are released for advanced users who want to get a preview of upcoming stable release functionality, and for mod makers to give them a chance to make any necessary changes before the official update is out. Anyway it's a good idea to make a backup of your player profile if you want a safe route to revert back to stable version.

Please report any issues with the Beta you might find in our dedicated forum thread.

Territory expansion in upcoming ETS2 Update 1.19

Greetings,

Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update 1.19 is nearing completion. The closed beta is in full swing and hopefully next week we will be able to start the final stage of testing - and offer you access to a public beta.

In this short blog let's just touch one small but nice feature that this update will bring you. We are expanding Going East! content with more of the Hungarian territory, bringing you two new cities: Pécs and Szeged. As you can see on the map, quite a few kilometers of new roads were created to provide good connection to the older section of the map.

Here are a couple of fresh screenshots from the new part of the game world:
