Kenworth W900 is almost here

The iconic Kenworth W900 truck model should be added to the American Truck Simulator line-up in a few short days; it will be a part of the first small game update that we are finishing now.



This is actually the very first truck we have started creating for the game over two years ago, it has been in an almost-finished state for a long time. We were sure that this classic vehicle would be received very positively by our fans. However, unbeknown to us, it did not turn out to be the best choice for the first vehicle to approach Kenworth with during initial licensing discussions. Truck manufacturers tend to be very careful about their image, and Kenworth, as the pioneer in aerodynamics in cabin design with their T680, had a rather different idea of the ideal truck to have in our game at the moment of release. So it was back to work for us to finish the other truck first before we could hope for the licensing deal to be successfully signed.



Meanwhile, we also owe you news concerning the state of Steampunk DLC. We are gifting it now to loyal Steam followers of American Truck Simulator as promised. Our "robot" code has been processing the gifts for a few days already actually, we are however throttled by some technical issues. So far, we have managed to add the DLC to the Steam library of 53,000 players, there is still some 110,000 more DLCs to issue currently. Please have patience with us, the DLC content will automatically appear in your game shortly. As the execution on our side was not as swift as we had hoped, we are not yet limiting your chances to earn the DLC for free. Anybody following the game on Steam until and as of today will still qualify to receive it. You don't have to worry also if your game was a store pre-order and the box is yet to arrive; so long as you follow the game in time, the DLC will be added to it even if you activate the game a week or two from now.

    6. Inferial, you say curse ATS ? Look, us americans have been waiting for a American trucking game by SCS since 2007!! YES, 2007...All we had so far was just the crap-game Rig N Roll in 2010. And, like Adrian said, the game will get better over time. If you compare ATS's current base map to ETS 2 base map in size, you cant compare. Not to mention, we will be getting a 3rd new state FOR FREE. Look, since 2007 SCS had made us drive boxes on wheels. So all we had until Feb 2nd 2016 was 18 wheels of steel and Rig N Roll. Who gives a crap about ETS 2 1.23 right now? You have a entirely new game. New styled trucks, new continent, new prefabs, new roads. And you only care for ETS 2 update. How about, mod the game and play Promods if you dont like ATS. Us Americans have been waiting for a very long time. We dont have time for this bullcrap.

  4. Ouh yeah! I loved to drive the wannabe W900 back in hauling, alongside the wannabe Freightliner Argosy, and i love seeing the W900 get into ATS :) Any plans regarding Freightliner Trucks like the Argosy or the Coronado?

    1. I think... It depends on the Mercedes to give the license. Anyway, they will just add some in line trucks, so, expect the Cascadia (which it is already ready).

  29. Anybody else think truck color,poly,and textures are really bad?Looks like its been made from poor modder

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Nope, shitty modders are the ones who make everything 3D and don't use textures. Speaking as an 18 wheels of steel modder of 8 years, 90% of the mods for ATS look like garbage to me so far because the "authors" suck at optimizing their models.

      Delete
    2. k, to be fair you just said the textures look bad, not that using textures is bad. I dunno, I guess they could look better, but the geometry itself looks fine. It is a game model after all.

  30. SCS, this is the first comment I've made against you. I bought ATS in the first 10 minutes, and LOVE IT! However, do you not thank your fans, the ATM machine that keeps you going?? When ETS 2 came out (and yes, I was around LONG before ETS 2), you wrote a blog post on the next day, thanking us, because you got 15,000 sales. Now, nothing. You got over 150,000 sales, and where's the thank you?!? Nowhere... I'm really disappointed. Seems your heads grew from the $$$ and fame of ETS 2, pity...

    2. Why patience? My point is that when ETS2 was out, they THANKED the fans. Now, they didn't, and they sold far less copies of that than they did of ATS.

    3. Because they already have our money now. Oh and wait,..more money to come when those DLCs become available.

    4. Saying "machine" after "ATM" is redundant as the "M" already stands for "machine".

  31. ¿did you increased the field of view? I cant believe it :-O

    ReplyDelete
  32. It just shows the learning curve SCS are undertaking when trying to obtain a licence for use in their games. Brand identity is obviously very important to truck manufacturers and I'm glad lessons have been learned so in future Pavel and the team at SCS will know how best to approach other brands to allow their vehicles into the games we love. Paccar Group have obviously seen sense. Others will surely follow in time. For now, I've become quite attached to my Peterbilt 579 having driven over 24,000 miles in it already but I'm certainly looking forward to the W900 arriving soon. Great news! Thanks SCS.

    On another note: WHAT is going on with ETS2, you have not released any news for some time now. I open ETS2 and all i can see is ATS news. Your statement was that you will continue to develope this two games side by side...

  51. I've been looking forward to that truck, I kind of wish I hadn't bought a 579 now. But it's not like I can't trade it in. :)

    While I'm thankful for the news, I'm curious to know if engine sounds will be a part of that update. It's pretty obvious to me that they're not finished. The RPM levels are too close to each other so they sound rather unpleasant to me as I go through the gears. That's my big complaint regarding driving anyway. Not too happy with intersections being put on Interstate highways (the only roads we DON'T have them on), but that's another topic for another day.

    1. I agree. I-15 outside of Barstow has intersections on the interstates, it's very unrealistic and annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Your W900 dash wood is way too orange. It only gets an orange color to it when there is a lot of light.

    In the lighting you have shown it should be redder (almost purple) and darker.

    http://i.imgur.com/aTgRsOk.jpg

    Your tan T680 interior was the best (the gray version was worse) and both 579 interior colors were way off compared to reality.

    The guys sitting in offices at KW approving these mustn't spend much time inside the trucks.

    *take the advice or leave it*

I know, that ETS-2,and ATS games developers not alwais belives, and take lithuanian desire's, but this could lead to the world trade game extensions. I hope that the SCS software will expand the ETS2 and ATS to the maximum. We believe SCS Software is able to expand both games so that they cover the entire continent. ATS the whole and full North American, and ETS-2 the whole, and full European Continents, with all Countrys and butifoul their City's

    1. hey SCS, when you expand to Washington State can you make our trailer license plate like the one shown in the video as being a Washington State Resident since birth i see them all the time on the highway, here is a video with an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhU8eV8ZRlc and also the Red Oregon commercial plate as i see that also lol, the trucks have a regular washington state plate however the trailer has a yellow strip on the bottom that reads combination in red lettering
