We are happy to announce that the legendary Kenworth W900 truck is now a part of American Truck Simulator. The truck is a free DLC - the game will be updated automatically through Steam. Please check out the little movie that we have made to celebrate this event:
There are also several notable changes coming with this game update, let us preview them for you:
Since ATS release, we have heard plenty of complaints regarding relative large fines in the game. Perhaps our tester group is so much experienced already; playing our games for years, that they did not bring it to our attention that this would be a problem especially for new players. We erred here on the side of trying to make this element of the game too close to reality, catering to the veteran fans who want it tough.
On second thought, it's not really a good idea to intimidate people coming fresh to the game with crippling fines. Fines are now considerably lower in the early stages of the game, they grow larger only as the player's skill/level grows.
We have also made the detection code for speeding more forgiving, giving the player more time to adjust to a new speed limit. We definitely do not want to make players feel like the game is unfair!
More changes in this area are in the pipeline, our map team is hard at work adding more speed limit signs to proper places to explicitly zone the limits. There are also changes to the AI code that are tied to yet more map tweaks, which should further limit the problems with being rammed by overly stupid AI cars and on top of it getting penalized for it. But we will only be able to push out the changes in the map alongside the next major game update, so please have patience with us.
Finally, we have also improved the detection of 'turn on red' feature in the game. For drivers in Europe, it may be a surprise that in the US it's legally allowed to turn right at red traffic light, unless explicitly prohibited. So in the game, if you properly use your indicator to signal that you are turning right, no red light penalty is applied just as expected..

AWESOME! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteAnd she drives and sounds beautiful. Again, thank you, SCS. And here the paranoids with the tin foil hats were saying "weeks" ... :)

e´melhor o original
DeleteWell, I did a test route and painted her in my fleet colors already, but SCS I must say I am VERY surprised how you did the UV mapping on this one. On every other SCS truck i know of, you could paint the individual sides of the truck so you could do lettering for company logos, etc. But this truck is a single side mirrored.
DeleteIt isn't a huge complaint though, as it took less than 5 minutes to split the other side and remap it to a second texture file. just saying I was surprised is all. I hope future trucks don;t start doing this as well.
Other than that, the verdict is: She drives well, and with the exception of that pathetic horn, she sounds great. What's up with that horn anyway? LOL.
Either way, time to log some hours driving this beast. :)
Yes,The horn on the roof looks so powerful but the sound feels like a baby. How hard it is to record a real horn sound? I'm really curious about what have you done to many recorded original sound files,SCS. Such as the Volvo FH in ETS2,its sound at low speed is pretty much different to reality. Anyway,the W900's engine sound is great.(I don't believe it much that it is a real sound effect now)
DeleteThank you! :) Next truck should be the Volvo VNL
ReplyDeleteAgree :-)
DeleteOh, yes! I' ve been waiting for it so long. There are some vnl mods but they all have something missing or they just aren't rigt.
DeleteI agree as well. Definitely looking forward to a VNL that actually works. The 2 that I know of in the modding community - one of them cannot be painted because AU44 has stated he is against people painting his truck, so he purposefully scrambled the model so it couldn't be painted. And the other VNL could be painted, but was a complete and utter mess in the log files.
DeleteSo definitely waiting patiently for an official version that actually works AND can be skinned.
Actually SCS mentioned that Peterbilt389 will be in the game soon while Volvo VNL780 didn't get it chance to show its name in that blog.But everything is possible, maybe it will get in the family before 389, who knows~
DeleteNext truck should be something proper American, like an International, or, a GMC, not this modern rubbish.
DeleteThe next truck is the Peterbilt 389
Delete@Trucker_JimBob ... As you are already aware and have acknowledged by reading the web site, SCS only makes trucks currently in production. The W900 an the upcoming 389 is as classic as you are going to get. However there are PLENTY of high quality trucks from the modding community already available to you that are older models. There's literally a ton of them on the download sites already.
DeleteThat is actually part of the great thing about how SCS has their system set up. They focus on licenses from the brands ... the brands want their CURRENT stuff showcased ... and the modding community remains strong by answering the demand for older models from nostalgic fans. This way we have plenty of choices from plenty of sources.
By the way - these are still proper American trucks. Just because they aren't dripping oil all over the ground and blowing black smoke from having been driven 5,000,000 miles a year does not make them not american. Technology, aerodynamics, driver comfort, performance, horsepower ... it's all getting better and better. What's wrong with representing that in the game?
Sick
ReplyDeleteI am excited to get one for myself
Awesome!!! Thank You For this iconic truck!!
ReplyDeleteOH YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! This is the moment ive been waiting for!! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteerror problem the kenworth I was driving the game says the dlc is missing.
ReplyDeleteIt will do if it was a mod before
DeleteOh i turn on red all the time in game and never got fined for it...
ReplyDeleteBecause is allowed to turng right on red in california ;)
Deleteu w0t m8 ? I was fined everytime for that
DeleteIt will fine you if you do not use your signal. I use my signal all the time and it doesn't. Also you have to some to a complete stop, signal, then continue on your right hand turn for it to be a Legal turn on red.
Delete@Akula - no you weren't. Quit trolling.
Delete@Leipe - Yes, unless the intersection is clearly marked otherwise, turning right on red in the US is legal. Not just California, but the entire nation. You just treat the red as a stop sign and you are set :)
In Canada as well...
DeleteI don't like you at all akula! Thanks SCS
DeleteExcept Quebec. Not like they count as Canada
DeleteI'm from Alberta if those frogs don't accept our dam pipeline and quick we will cut their dam equalization payments then they'll come cryin back to us "where the big oil payment" pffft
Delete@Faelandaea yeah i know. They said in the article that they fixed it so you wouldnt get fined so often. But i never experienced any fine at all. makes me wonder how some players actually managed to get a fine ;-)
Delete@sam wase should I make you recall how much YOU Albertans took from us in equalization payments in the 80s?
DeleteSo as a country lets just sit on resources and cry provincially And be fake like Justin and take selfies like a highschool boy "don't worry budget will fix it self" hey get real Justin anyway so what are you saying? That's how we pay those payments to you if we can't get our oil there don't expect a payment...make sense example pay me $ without making any doesn't make sense fellow countrymen
DeleteThank you SCS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity that he could not do so to smoke out the exhaust pipes even when leaving the place , as it was in WoS trucker 2 :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(
ReplyDeleteI can't see my trailer in the mirrors because of the exhaust pipes, they're massive.!
DeleteI can not wait to return to work and sit to drive this beauty
ReplyDeleteThanks SCS!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePeterbilt 389 WE want to See the NEXT update
ReplyDeleteNice work as always. Thx
ReplyDeleteWill there be AI traffic soon on ats multiplayer
ReplyDeletePeterbilt 389 WE want to See the NEXT update
ReplyDeleteIndeed i do miss the black smoke, the heavier the more it should bring
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling we ken skip te red light in a right turn

Nice work as always. Thx
ReplyDeleteETS 2 is completely forgotten by SCS :( We only see updates and blogposts for ATS, but the game and fans of ETS 2 are out of line...Now only damn ATS matters to SCS :(
ReplyDeleteWell they did just launch the game, so of course they will need to release often to clear up issues. ETA is more stable, so releases will come when planned work is ready.
DeleteOn asidenote, only ATS matters right now to me as well. It's new and shiny and lots of fun. I highly recommend dropping the $20 to enjoy it.
Uh duh...we waited so much for this, I'm completely done with ETS2 hell I only played it because of the American truck mods, those European trucks are ugly, hate them.....so yes ATS is a priority ETS2 is already stable and close to finish.
DeleteOh you...man that was the worst I ever had. Could barely tell you were back there.
Deletegame just launched, so they are paying attention, but the games are evolving parallel.
Deleteis time for ATS to shine ETS2 is the past so deal whit it we been thru that torture waiting for ATS
DeleteGod there has been no ETS 2 news in six days quick call the police. Stop complaining.

Peterbilt 389, next update please?
ReplyDeleteThaaaank you guys! Best work but a bit faster ... =) Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteGran noticia, gracias SCS por las modificaciones y la actualizacion
ReplyDeleteThank you SCS! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now I just have to wait for the Volvo VNL 780.
ReplyDeleteand the renault t range in ets 2?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Game and now this SUPER TRUCK AWESOME :D Good Job Scs Software :D
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot SCS looking forward to trying this beauty out :)
ReplyDeletePlease Add Volvo's and Mack's only having 2 brands of trucks kind of blows
ReplyDeleteIf we could have all the truck companies that would be f***Ing awesome
DeleteKenworth
Peterbilt
Freightliner
International
Mack
Western Star
Volvo
And all engines
CAT
CUMMINS
PACCAR
DETROIT DIESEL
VOLVO
MERCEDES
MACK MP'S
Don't forget GMC.
DeleteAnd Sterling...
DeleteOh yeah .... Hope to see the Volvo VNL's with up to 600 h.p. engines (larger is they are made for VNL models).
DeleteLicensing takes a long/difficult time. You cant just go up to a truck company and ask ''Hi, can we put this truck into our game?''. No, thats not how it works. It takes months to years to get a truck license. Mack never does licenses anyway.
Delete@Ways71 ...Doh.!
DeleteIt would be a shame if Mack was not included. And I really dont understand the hype for the Volvo. I wonder if its really populair (according VNL market's share its not) I much rather see Freightliner coming soon.
DeleteOooooooh I almost forgot.....the new CAT CT660 and CT680 would be the S**t to see here, they're the new dogs but they are really growing strong.
DeleteWhere's my trailer? I want to buy trailers.
ReplyDeleteIt comes out on the 3rd of June 2023...
DeleteHaven't you been banned yet?
DeleteI guess that's a side effect to those universal human rights, hi hi, can't ban him now anymore!
DeleteExcellent detailing on truck and some great paint jobs to choose from. Nice job SCS. When it wasn't here for the release I thought it would have taken longer to be included so I'm surprised it's arrived so soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteNow how about the ETS2 1.23? Any news SCS?
ReplyDeleteis time for ATS to shine ETS2 is the past so deal whit it we been thru that torture waiting for ATS
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThank hoy scs!
ReplyDeleteThank you scs!!
ReplyDeleteI bought 2x ETS2 with 14x2 DLCs (many among them are pointless skins that i not ever used).
ReplyDeleteTHE GAME is OVER!!! I'm not retarded.
I will ever buy something new, when there will be new interesting things introduced, such as: reworked AI and physics, better sounds conditions, better animations quality, much more upgrade parts, better graphics, larger map, more trucks(for ATS), tandems, multi-point deliveries, garage real upgrade, better REALISTIC ECONOMY, see your trucks on the roads, buy your trailer.
and the last question: What about the Michelin DLC that was reveled some time ago? We also want another brands!!! (continental, good year, pirelli)
Beautiful truck and great optimization - thanks :D
ReplyDeleteneed a new horn scs :D pls not the stock horn :(!!! but really nice Truck like it!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSCS , could put the gear indicator on the panel W900 ? Who uses sequential exchange really feel this lack of knowing what gear we are using ... thanks
And again news about ATS... Hello SCS have you forgotten ETS2 ???
ReplyDelete"Currently working hard on Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator." - my ass...
As for the truck(s), same like in ETS2 where are the tuning options !? So few tuning options, given that there is so few trucks in the game, we need more customization for them.
Is it that hard to implement exhaust fumes for the trucks, is it that hard to have a new sound for the air brakes, rather then copy/paste from ETS2 ???
DeleteWhy is it that we dont have the interior accessories in ATS ? It was only normal to have them as dlc in ETS2, but why are they missing from ATS, hence the games are same, ATS should of come out with the dlc already implemented and have future features come out in the future as dlc...
What a big disappointment ATS is, i would of expected all the features in ETS2 to come in ATS as standard... ATS is for me a huge let down !
Seems to me that you have striped the game before release so you could add content down the road and say "Hey look at us !" we are updating ATS constantly" That is the only explanation i can find given that this game has been in the works for more then 2 years, it can not be in all this time you was only able to create 2 states and 2 trucks !?!?
DeleteNow thi is the real American truck! I'm sick of those two aerodynamic trucks...Can't wait to drive my favorite Peterbilt389!
ReplyDelete389 is THE truck !!! :)
DeleteYES!
DeleteWhere the hell is it.? I have the game on Steam, go to the Kenworth dealer and only the T680s ???
ReplyDeletePut the steam setting on the beta, then it will install a truck, and then remove the use of beta, is a little complicated, but so I got it to work.
DeleteThank you, I'll go give that a try.

Deletethis a very nice truck good job guys
ReplyDeletethis a very nice truck good job guys
ReplyDeleteAnd big thanks nice truck.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was needed to lowering the fines. It was all about the fact that you got ticket in a same time you actually seen the speed sign and started to react on it. Other thing for me is too short yellow on lights. It creating the grey zone where no matter if you brake or go, you get ticket for red light.
ReplyDeleteWarning signage would help, especially on the highways. I don't know about out west but here on the east coast there are typically warning signs well ahead of major speed limit decreases or gradually reducing zones (65-55, 55-45, etc) in order to allow drivers sufficient time to slow without having to slam on brakes the moment they see they speed limit changing. There are several highways that drop instantly from 65/70 down to 30/35 right at the edge of town with no warning beforehand.
DeleteI agree. Nevada has many places that use the speed drop method (60-50-40-30) with appropriate signage (Speed Zone Ahead) and however many zones needed to drop the speed by 10 at a time. This is sadly missing from the game as it is now.
DeleteOut West, there's typically a Speed Zone Ahead sign with a (typically, but not always) sufficient distance to slow down to the new speed. Nevada is an exception, sort of, as described above.
I'm just going to assume that this is something that will be corrected either by SCS or by mod.
cool, waiting now Peter 389
ReplyDeleteActually it's legal to "turn on red" in China,too.So it's great for us~
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys fix the onramps onto motorways. Its very annoying to stop everytime because you want to get on the motorway
ReplyDeleteOh I almost fotget to say,it is nice to have its own kins for evry single truck,that's not the same as ETS2,we will get less choice but it will absolutly make every truck unique.Good work, SCS~
ReplyDeleteSee? You can't even form sentences...I'm afraid those 8's aren't enough to prove the affirmation from above...
DeleteI'm wondering what did that guy say...I missed his first sentence, Whatever it is,I know it's junk words.LOL
DeleteYes,he doesn't even know what he's saying...just throw random curses and hope that someone cares...His comments got deleted anyway.so I hope he was banned...
DeleteThe only problem I have with the game is traffic lights and four/three way intersections on interstates. That does not happen here in america
ReplyDeleteAgree, I have looked up some of the ones that were bugging me on Google maps and they are definitely standard over/underpasses with access ramps. Part of the intent of the Interstate Highway system (all the highways with the red and blue shield that begin with I-###) was to provide for a continuously flowing coast-to-coast highway system. Also there are a few intersections that could use traffic lights to break the flow of traffic occasionally as many of the 4-lane highways have a heavy enough flow that AI trucks and cars on crossroads will sit for 20+ real world minutes without attempting to turn or cross.
Deleteplz add peterbilt 370 or 389
ReplyDeleteYou guys are great! I want to get home and test the update NOW! :)
ReplyDelete>> Fines are now considerably lower in the early stages of the game, they grow larger only as the player's skill/level grows.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward for it to be ported into ETS2 as well!!
That engine sound... I'm overwhelmed by it. It is...
ReplyDeleteno words
Go and check it out yourself
No Level Point i have level up and no point 13 to 14?????buggy
ReplyDeletethere is A problem backing up the trailer when I'm backing up the trailer slides that's not realistic look https://youtu.be/EHjK7ZWkDOI
ReplyDeletecan you get the update with the demo
ReplyDeletePlease oh please can we at least get a small update of ETS2, sick of seeing ATS blog post but nothing of ETS2. Feels like you´ve forgotten ETS2 nowadays which makes me sad as that was your biggest game :(
ReplyDeleteis time for ATS to shine ETS2 is the past so deal whit it we been thru that torture waiting for ATS
DeleteYou want to know what ATS is? It is a total copy of ETS2 just with new trucks and a new map so get your information first "You fool"
Deletebetter say Euro with Kenworth in USA
DeleteNice truck, really adding to the American driving experience.
ReplyDeleteThe exhaust brake 'toggle' wasn't there before I don't think(?) but really makes it work like a Jake brake, and the new sound effects are awesome.
DeleteExhaust brake toggle was there since ATS release and has been in ETS2 for a while now.
DeleteDidn't realise, good feature for the American trucks especially as you can really use it as a Jake now, only engaging when your foot is completely off the throttle. Now we just need another 2 positions of braking force.
DeleteAmerican Truck simulator
ReplyDeleteDouble Trailers, Double Trailers, + custom bigs rigs trucks, trailers special.
Brazil
don't change things that don't need to be changed just to please some stupid players !! wtf is wrong with you guys ,, plus they can tune the police_data file to whatever they want !! come on guys !! for me it's not an update !! what you should do instead is make more places for service why only one in each city ?? and not even in every city ?? put some on the road side like mechanic garage and stuff !! and some the highway in fuel stations !!! i don't think its hard to be done !!!
ReplyDeletehmm, fine adjustments seem to need adjustment. Tried and got fined $1800 when an AI car rearended me.
ReplyDeleteUsed to be $900, and of course getting fined for an accident you're not responsible for is not good to start with.
New truck looks good. I prefer smaller, more nimble, vehicles, but it looks good and I'm sure a lot of people will have a lot of fun with it.
great truck just waiting for the 389 pet :)
ReplyDeleteThe fines weren't a problem for me but the scaling of fines to a driver's level is very clever. I really like all these updates. AI actually drives pretty well -- I say that coming from the original Wheels of Steel games so I know how far SCS has come. The game already feels very polished so I'm really just wanting to drive in more States now.
ReplyDeleteGreat work SCS!
The fine amounts weren't so much of a problem, but the lack of grace periods and the eagerness of the cops to hand them out were (and who knows, maybe still are).
DeleteGetting a fine 5 feet after entering a 35mph zone from a 55mph zone for example.
or a red light offense when your front wheels are just edging over the line.
I found all rooting and tricks for android here
ReplyDeletehttp://newestandroidphones1.blogspot.com/
Brilliant truck, doubt I'll ever use another. Unfortunately it looks like Steam has lost my map data, so I've apparently only got one town now visited since the game was released and now on level 22 :(
ReplyDeleteyou on the mp servers by any means? Had that happen there a lot. Usually just reloading the save fixes it.
DeleteSorry, no idea what mp servers are?
DeleteTried reloading it, only to find game has apparently crashed...I hate Steam, never used to have any problems when SCS registered the games and updates, but Steam just seems to cause problem after problem.
One reason I deleted the Steam ETS2 from my PC and installed the disc version, never had a problem since.
Sorry guys but any road warrior in the us knows u can't gave the iconic KW. without the PETE 389 AND 379... I'm sure this is next. PACCAR will not take kindy to them skipping the PETE. espexmc especially for a Volvo.
ReplyDeleteI want the 1955 Peterbilt 281 from the film Duel, but I doubt that's in the pipeline :(
DeleteYeeees that truck is a beast, also a old school 351 with a Cummins Big Cam Daytona 400 would be a HUGE classic
Deleteyou neglect complaints that matters and you focus on the stupid ones !!! scs please !!!
ReplyDeleteepic truck!!!!! Love the engine sound.....now this is good us of a trucking.
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance to get a fix in short-term for the stuck camera controls if head tracking software is installed? I didn't play ETS2 in a while and just noticed it with ATS but apparently both games are mistaking the mere presence of a head tracking software for head tracking being actually in use and lock mouse/gamepad camera controls. I'm only using head tracking (with TrackHat OpenTrack) occasionally but I don't want to uninstall/reinstall it each time I switch between ETS2/ATS without head tracking and using something with head tracking. Other games/simulators don't appear to have that issue - they usually detect if head tracking is active on launch and if it's not, they ignore it and behave as if no tracking was available.
ReplyDeleteIt's... beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the release of the W900 SCS,
ReplyDeleteAlthough i am a little disapointed with the amount of tuning options.. Exhaust Tips, Front Bumper mudflaps etc can all be added in America.. So why not in game? IMO front mudflaps and some 8inch Bullhorn/Cutback Tips would set the W900 right off ����
Also love the engine sounds, but where is the Turbo Whistle?? Growing up around Kenworths and Western Stars my whole life ive grown quite fond of the Turbo Whistle, and would love to hear it in game!
Thanks SCS, look forward to further updates,
Kind Regards.
This new update really ruined the game for me. Im already at a high level and now am paying more fines than i was before. Police cars on oncoming lanes now trigger pricey fines, even through tunnels? Cars still ramming you? What a disappointment! And wheres the peterbilt 379?
ReplyDeletePlease revert fines as they were before the update. I spent too much playing time and hours of my time in game to be quitting at it now. Aside from this and some other annoyances, thank you SCS for making a good trucking game!
DeleteHungarian paintjob to ets2!
ReplyDelete"We definitely do not want to make players feel like the game is unfair!"
ReplyDeleteThis is almost a totally unnecessary mindset here from SCS .... and underpins are larger debate in general .... but then I need to remember this is still not a sim, it's a game.
Please SCS, add an option for 'game setting' and another for 'Sim settings' in the config page and being a path to develop the 'Sim settings'. Everyone wins and much is there to leverage already ........
What do others think?
That is a good point. I feel that SCS is being unfair to veteran players by penalizing them more; increasing fines, deliveries not compensating skill level, etc.
Deletewhat happend to steam i download the kenworth w900 and the game crashes soon as i lunch the game
ReplyDeleteMY PRECIOUS KINETIC 9W9! HUZZAH!
ReplyDeleteZajeFajnie !!! Brawo SCS !!! Życzę dalszych takich Sukcesów.
ReplyDeleteLove the fact now have long nose in game. Major problem though. All W900's removed from mod folder, no mods activated in mod manager. Did 1st run no problems, but when go to do another quick job game crashes. Deleted profile and tried again with same results this time with mod folder empty. Crash log comes up with 2 call stack errors and Exception Code: C0000005 Access Violation. Can put crash log into drop box and post link if need be.
ReplyDeleteI dont see the W900 in any Quick jobs. I have a truck pack running but there are no W900s in that truck pack..
ReplyDeleteI thought you knew everything about everything.!

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteUPDATE - I see the W900s in quick jobs now. I just had to restart my game a couple of times...im so sorry for spamming.
DeleteVery good job, the truck is great, but it's a shame that the sound is so bad, that is not true. Do you plan to change in the future and put yours, true? For now it sounds like a cement mixer and being such an iconic US disreño worth having its actual sound.
ReplyDeleteAlso want to know why they have taken the CB Radio trucks? In USA is almost a necessity take, and it is a shame that at first if they had them in their designs that we saw in the video, and have now gone why? Do you think putting them on the inside in the future?
A greeting.
Thank you, fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteNow please make the maps bigger, they're ridiculously small and time passes by waaaayyyy too fast.
The distances feel even shorter than in ETS2.
Please increase map size and distances.Please! This is supposed to me America. American is HUGE not tiny.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteNice. Release the Arizona DLC in a near future now please. [The last freebie-dlc if I'm correct?] I've already explored over 90% of the map and my business and Truck-fleets are also expanded and growing... I don't want to get back to ETS (and the somewhat buggy map-mods) just because I driven every road already in ATS. The US is BIG, so next state would be good to fit in in the next update, since there are many many more to add to the game... as we drive on.
ReplyDeleteOr what do you say?
That isn't the studio sleeper... that is the 72 inch sleeper. The studio sleeper is 86 inches. That aerodyne sleeper you have is the same as your studio sleeper, but with a scoop on the roof.
ReplyDeletedefinitivamente son los mejores scs software
ReplyDeleteok ... one step higher ....
ReplyDeleteThe new truck is great, but the time scaling is ridiculous on this game...in ETS2 you had I think, 3 real time minutes to 1 game hour, but with ATS the clock is ticking down at about 1 real time minutes to 1 game hour..no sooner is it getting dark than it's getting light again. Really poor show, as with the tiny map.!
ReplyDeleteETS2 product code pleas
ReplyDeleteBuy it on Steam !!!
DeleteI suggest you get to the quacks.....because if that's all you've got in life I pity you.....you must be real low.....let us truck lovers enjoy what we have!!!
ReplyDeleteRealmente estou entusiasmado com o ATS, obviamente, uma mudança brusca de cenário, comparado com o ETS2, mas estamos no inicio, onde virão novos estados, com muitas imagens que sei que há pelos Estados Unidos, fantásticas. Estão de parabéns, um inicio impressionante, e adorei os efeitos pelo céu, pistas, e cabine, muito bons mesmo, só acrescentaria mais água no vidro, o efeito de arrasto da água no canto do limpa-vidro, e se possível, uma sutil claridade dentro, quando chegasse o escurecer, para dar mais destaque ao painel; e fantástico seria se houvesse mãos no volante para dar uma realidade.
ReplyDeleteAchei interessante a chuva, agora não é só um tipo de chuva forte, até adicionaram mais velocidades nos limpadores que apenas "liga/desliga". Sobre o painel, faltam luzes mais forte, à noite mal se vê algo...

ReplyDeleteRate, comment and subscribe! Enjoy!
Building carrier in hole.. Umh yeah, since I got 40.000 dollars per tour,I hope i'll do my truck carrier
ReplyDeleteI don't known about others, but i think on atsmods.lt, there's a lots of Kenworth's with higher resolution texture and better diesel sound!
ReplyDeleteSorry but this truck is very poor detailed! I think its time to move on 9800 GT's and 2008 era
WHAT ABOUT EURO TRUCK 2 ????
ReplyDeleteSO STUPID STRATEGY DEVELPMENT from SCS ... SO STUPID !!!
As stated many times before, there are two teams working at SCS. One team is working on ETS2 and the other team is working on ATS. So the developement of ATS isn't in the way of ETS2 and vice versa. Soon there will be news about patch 1.23 for ETS2, as have been said on a recent blog posting.
DeleteSCS what wrong with you? One year ago you recorded sound of "new" MAN TGX and scanned him. One year and nothing new. Old model of MAN so terrible like a nightmare. Any news about this?
ReplyDeleteSCS You guys are doing a great job and 99% of us appreciate your work and whatever cant be implemented into the game due to licence issues is taken care of by the mods that your fans create...this game is the best sim on the market for realism and in my opinion the graphics in ATS are far superior to GTA5...ignore the very small percentage of old ladies on here who constantly moan about the smallest thing.....
ReplyDeletefidiuss@ i dont think u r serious with that comment up there....r u kidding me!!! seriously GTA5 AND ATS what a comparision dude...GTA5 IS FAR MUCH BETTER THAN THIS ATS ..if u have played gta5 in high graphics settings u will feel that american feeling when u play gta5 and not while ATS....SO pls dont compare it.....gives me nightmares...
DeleteI love that feel when somebody comparing AAA games which bugdet is 200.000.000 $, to games which bugdet is under 10.000 $
DeleteWell m just waiting for France DLC and Renault T (hopefully it comes with complete addons and parts) m not gonna play ATS until maybe next year until map is expanded atleast with more then 6 states ...ETS2 surely rocks...for me inspite being an old game its much fun to ride along with current map and some mods.
ReplyDeleteSCS u seriously need to add tandem trailers and new curtain siders and lowbeds and container( looks retarded) trailers that actually matches with real ones..making such realistic trucks and not making a real trailer is not a point in a sim game....anyways keep working SCS soon hoping for a trailer DLC and southern expansion SPAIN AND FRANCE (maybe end of the year).HAPPY TRUCKING FELLAS
-----regards from INDIA...
What is the next truck coming out soon for ats? 😀
ReplyDeletemaybe volvo...
DeletePeterbilt 389
DeletePaccar would not be happy if scs releases a Volvo instead of the almighty Pete, soooo with that said Pete is next
DeleteThere will be no trucks which aren't owned by PACCAR...forget getting any Freightliner, Mack, or any other which isn't owned by PACCAR. They might as well change the name to PACCAR Simulator :)

ReplyDeleteWill be available on ETS2 too? actually have this and the Peterbilt 389 on ETS2 using mods..... maybe you can release this classics optionals... maybe...
ReplyDeleteIn RL are these in Europe? I have my doubts but eh it's a game/sim be kool if they'd do that I guess
Deleteonly US big rigs I've ever seen in Europe were owned by the US military...
DeleteThere are quite a few rigs in Europe owned by private collectors, and only taken to shows etc.
DeleteThe maximum total length allowed in Europe means they have to use a very short trailer because the tractor unit is so long. In Europe the standard trailer length is 45 feet, in the US it's 53 feet.
Now if I only had a proper split axle flatbed to pull behind it
ReplyDeleteFreightliner Argosy please
ReplyDeleteNot a chance...they only got Kenworth and Peterbilt licences because they already had a foot in the door with PACCAR who also own DAF and Leyland trucks in Europe. I doubt they'll get permission for any other truck manufacturer in the US.
DeleteAre the AI changes going to come to ETS2 as well?
ReplyDeleteETS2 is dead and buried.!
DeleteI'm surprised ATS seemed kinda lacking initially but its fun as you go. I have a few questions. Are the features from ATS gonna be brought to ETS2. And is it possible for a cross over. I understand ETS2 would require a lot of work but maybe a feature where your ATS profile is a rival in your ETS2 game or which ever way you wanna slice it.and also trucks like loads more lol. Even if u add like 2nd hand scs name brand before licences and such. Just a lil sumtin to run around with. Sorry I know we ask a lot. Big fan ;p. Hope to collaborate 1 day.

ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to know about the release date of Arizona DLC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, Team! Enjoying the game here. I've already visited all cities but still didn't cover 70% of the map. I'd love to praise and also do some critics, so sorry for long post.
ReplyDelete1. First time I went to a different city and I saw the vehicles crossing the red light I was like "WTF is he doing?!". I didn't know USA traffic rules allowed this, but I started noticing it by myself. Thanks for the heads up clarifying this.
2. I was glad to see the realism about closed roads - instead of having road signs with an "XXXX" over the city name like ETS2, have the actual city name with the word "closed" over it. I don't know if you plan going south (I mean literally) on next DLCs, but reading "Tijuana" on road signs gives at least the illusion that the map isn't isolated from the rest of the world.
3. Still kinda related to previous topic, I noticed there are "closed cities" inside California - that is, not on roads heading out of it. Will current released states still be updated to have more cities on next DLCs, or only new states will be added?
4. Will other states be added one at a time like Nevada was and Arizona will be, or will some states be released as a region on a DLC (let's say, like the regions from "The Crew")?
5. It was noted by Kenneth Sapp some posts before, but I had the same problem about some 2-lane road ending on 4-lane highway T-intersection (probably there are others, but the ones I remember are all on Tonopah). The drivers exiting the 2-lane road and turning left simply don't move - they wait all highway drivers heading right, then all highway drivers heading the 2-lane road from the turning lane, and then all drivers heading right again... There are some solutions I could think:
- Changing the T-intersection(s) to access ramp(s) (maybe not the best solution as it should include some changes to map around it too)
- Making the AI of drivers exiting the 2-lane road a little more "agressive", making they act right after the drivers from the turning lane (maybe not another good solution, as this could affect the AI in other places)
- Adding traffic lights (probably the best and less traumatic change on map)
