Sound Recording Session - Scania V8
Our quest for leveling up the game sounds continues with recording of proper V8 sound.
Getting hold of a V8 wasn't so easy for us. With a bit of luck we have managed to get our cameras, ears and microphones on one of the best sounding V8s in history, planted at the heart of Scania T143H 450!
The sound of this particular V8 serves as the golden sound standard even for the most modern Scania engines. We hope you enjoy the video we made for you during the freezing and windy but fortunately successful recording session!

Ice Cold Paint Jobs DLC available now!
With winter coming for us here north of the Equator, we have prepared another set of custom truck paints on Steam - Ice Cold Paint Jobs DLC.
This DLC consists of 6 winter-themed paint motifs, the paint schemes are not really locked into a particular event in the calendar, they will work for you all through the winter time. All paint jobs are of course tailored to fit every truck featured in the game. We believe that these paint jobs should coexist happily with any community-created Christmas and New Year paint job competition master pieces.

Scania Streamline update is ready now
First, we would like to thank all of you who have already sent us Christmas and New Year competition paint jobs. We will keep accepting your new creations up until December 31.
To answer your question, if you feel like creating even more than just one paint job, you can - it will only increase your winning chances!
Scania Streamline is out now via retail patch 1.8.2.3 and Steam's automatic update. So everybody can finally experience the Scania truck bringing back the legendary name. We needed a few more days to tweak this update as some minor truck tuning/princing problems were spotted and fixes were required. Having the game on Steam in beta allowed us to quickly iterate through a few release candidates with a lot of eyes on the builds. Thanks to all who were eager to participate!
Note: The retail patch is currently available to download via torrents and a direct link from our server. We would strongly prefer that you to use the torrent, while we are setting up download mirrors. Using our local link is very likely to be much slower, and also quite stressful for our servers.
Have fun!

SCS Blender Tools
While looking at the amazing stuff that our fan community is producing, we cannot help but admire the passion for our games. But of course the tools are the key for creation of the best results. We are aware that despite valiant efforts to reverse-engineer our formats, the current tools in the hands of the modding community aren't ideal yet.
Today we would like to announce that we are working on SCS Blender Tools, which we will make available for everybody with creative passion for our games.
As you may have already guessed we will use Blender to base our SCS Blender Tools on. Blender is fast, flexible, with good documentation and most importantly Free, without need to worry for having expensive licenses for commercial packages like Maya or 3d Studio Max.
SCS Blender Tools we are building are going to be 100% "developer grade". The package will be using exactly the same approaches and workflows we use for creating our games, in fact some people on SCS team plan to start using them on a daily basis, replacing current tool pipeline. With SCS Blender Tools, it will be possible to comfortably create models, texture them, assign and tweak correct materials, and export everything to the engine.
The plan is that with SCS Blender Tools it will cover everything - from the simplest models of buildings to fully fledged trucks, just as us developers are doing it. With provided documentation we hope to see even higher quality creations from our modding community. With community-created assets in source form compatible with SCS Software's internal processes, and with the map editor a native part of the game itself, this may open up huge opportunities for the future.
Here are few screenshots of ongoing Blender integration:

The New DAF XF Euro 6
Last Friday we finally got our hands on the New DAF XF truck. Our artists are now going to have all the high quality references they need, including 3D scans of exterior and interior elements, in order to deliver the perfect game truck.
And off course our sound team was recording all of the the new vehicle sounds. So now you know the new DAF XF Euro 6 is one of the priority trucks we plan to deliver to you!
Let us show you a small video and photo report from the event:

Let us show you a small video and photo report from the event:
Photos, Betas
We are still processing the photos and videos from our Car Crashing Day event - and of course the sfx themselves still need a lot of work to process, clean up, and implement. This is not something that can be plugged into the game immediately, please have patience with us. Anyway, today we have placed a bunch of photos from the day to our facebook page here.
Meanwhile, work on game update 1.8 is in full swing, with testing going on in closed betas.
However, there are reports of problems people are having with 1.7 version. These may not be game-breaking problems that trouble everybody, normally we'd wait to include them with another major update. But especially for people running larger map mods, there are stability issues reported, problems that if fixed would no longer require arcane workarounds for mod users. So we thought that doing a public testing beta release might be a good way to see if have managed to make the game more robust. If you have been affected by any of these issues, please let us know whether this update makes the game more stable without causing some undesired side-effects. We'll consider making this into a regular game patch.
Changelog beta build 1.7.1:

Changelog beta build 1.7.1:

- fixed rare crash that sometimes happened with air horn usage
- fixed incorrect trailer placement when automatic parking was used in Trameri Warszaw
- fixed engine displacement volumes for Volvo and Iveco
Demolition Day... erm... Sound Recording Day
There are so many elements and features in our game code and art assets that we know would deserve improvement. Sound effects are not an exception, sound is a very important part of the overall experience, in fact more important than what people think "at first sight."
We have taken the opportunity of earning a bit of extra revenue thanks to sales fromHalloween Paint Job Pack on Steam, and today we wanted to show you how we invested the money! We organized a special event yesterday with the goal of making quality sound recordings of car crashes. We put special emphasis on having a safe event, we even had a fire brigade and an ambulance car at the ready should anything go not quite right. Behind the wheel, we had the honor of welcoming a star Czech stuntman Jarda Psenicka. His credits include stunts for many major movie productions, including Titanic, Doom, Hellboy, and many more.

Status update
A short update on what is happening now at SCS Software...
We are now hard at work merging in two important code changes - improvements in physics, especially in the area of suspension, and major traffic AI rewrite. Both are big functional changes that need to be integrated and tested extensively. Time needed for testing each such major feature change is always hard to estimate, but we hope that it is a matter of weeks rather than months before it's all ready for release in another ETS2 update.
Of course, in the meantime our other teams are pushing for progress in other areas, including American Truck Simulator, new territorial expansions for ETS2, on new trucks, new buses, we are adding new features to World of Trucks... a lot is going on! We are placing big bets on the future, so four new people are coming to SCS just this week to help us speed up our work.
And there is more, we'll have even more exciting news for you in near future about our push for adding yet more development talent and capacity.
Meanwhile, there are some other cool things happening out there...

Meanwhile, there are some other cool things happening out there...
There's massive discount available now for a huge bundle of simulators - The Superpower Sims Bundle. The bundle includes the original classic Euro Truck Simulator game and many other notable simulators for ridiculously low price. We hope that this can bring in fresh players to the truck sim family, and for some people, it may also be a cheap chance to finally own a legal copy of the game. In addition to getting a bunch of nice games on the cheap, Bundle Stars will contribute toSpecialEffect charity from each sale made.
We are also happy to announce that Scania Truck Driving Simulator has been Greenlit by Valve with the help of fan community! While it's not a new game for many of you, the additional exposure to the 65+ million-strong Steam player base is great news for us. This could mean yet more revenue and funding for investing into our current and future work. Thank you guys!
Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.7 update
There are actually two pieces of news we'd like to share with you today here, and also in a more graphically richer way on World of Trucks.
NEWS #1
The 1.7 update is available! Yes, the big star of this update is the new Volvo FH and FH16. Freshly off closed beta, we are in such a hurry to give it to you that for now we just have the Steam-only update ready. But please have patience with us, non-Steam version of the update is coming soon. (Or of course you can take advantage of the fact that any genuine Product Key we have ever issued for the game will also activate the game on Steam. Once.) The logistics of the release is actually quite simpler for us when working with Steam.

NEWS #2
With Halloween coming, we have created a special Halloween Paint Job Pack DLC for the occasion. It features 6 exclusive dark and scary themes applicable to all trucks in the game.
For veteran players of the game creating and using mods, we are aware that this is not major news for you - you can always satisfy your truck tuning appetite with a vast variety of custom mods or even your own creativity. But there are tens of thousands of players out there who never dare to apply any unofficial mods. We believe that if we take this road, we may be able give them something interesting and worthwhile. And of course completely optional.
After several months of work, we have just finished the new truck model, and we are giving it to our player base for free. We are committed to giving you more free trucks in the future, actually already two more are under development.
The idea with the paint job DLC is that such small paid-for "cosmetics" DLCs are our chance to accelerate development of the core game. Instead of begging for donations, we can offer something of value to help us fund further evolution of the game. And if this catches on, we'd like to consider more than just simple paints - there are definitely more cool opportunities, like offering support for decorating the inside of the cabin.
The Halloween Paint Jobs Pack DLC available now on Steam. This DLC is a Steam-only release. With our limited back-end infrastructure for monetizing and managing DLCs, we are not going to offer it from the official website.
We hope you'll enjoy driving the new Volvo FH and wear those beautiful Halloween paint jobs as much as we enjoyed creating them! Thank you!

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Volvo FH
We know that we haven't been sharing much news recently about a highly-demanded that truck we have under development (see the results of our survey) - the new Volvo FH Series. The fan community is always bombarding us with requests and questions about it, so here is a little update...
We have the bulk of the work done on both exterior and interior at last. Still ahead of us is texturing, setting up dashboard controls animations, modeling of chassis for the various axle variants, and of course a set of tuning parts to be released along with the truck tractor. This still represents quite some man-weeks of work, but for sure the new Volvo FH is coming, and will be the star of one of upcoming game updates during the Autumn.
Let us show you a couple of Work In Progress shots of the interior model:

Our forum is on-line and fully functional, however we are still working hard on improving both our forum and the site. In the meantime feel free to browse around or join the community and post your ideas on the forum.
Right now some features are not functional due to some tweaking and adjusting; we should be able to post gallery, upload sites and much more on the forum.
Thank you and have fun!

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Going east
After a long development time, finally the first Euro Truck Simulator 2 add-on is undergoing final beta testing. Some online stores have already revealed the final name of the upcoming add-on, but this is the first time we are officially announcing it here - the first DLC's name will be:
Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Going East!
We think that the new part of Europe built for this add-on looks even better then anything we have created before. You can take a look at a few countryside places from Poland, on routes between Lublin, Łódź, Warszawa and Ostrava. We'll be taking a lot more screenshots during testing now to keep you entertained.

Patch from 1.4.x to 1.4.6s
Since patch 1.4 was released SCS team received many complaints about known bugs; there was few patches to fix this in last few days. However this latest 1.4.6. patch should fix most of the problems, don't forget this is just BETA patch and may cause problems as well.
DO NOT INSTALL OVER STEAM VERSION!
Stabilizing the 1.4.x patch has been taking a lot of work, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the open beta testing. Several problems were discovered with your help, and the dev team certainly appreciates all the useful feedback and inspiration from you.
The eventual process and system of future open betas still needs some thinking, but these initial results are promising, so we'd like to ask you for help one more time.
We have created another "release candidate" for the final 1.4.x line patch. To the best of our knowledge, it addresses all major issues that we still left in 1.4.1, so if you are already using this version of the game and it works ok for you, updating to 1.4.6 isn't much of a danger, in fact it should still offer some stability improvements.
This build is still only a candidate for the final approved patch. We are not offering any mirroring options yet, as it's not intended for use by general public, we are also not even mentioning it on the official game website. The only people with advanced access to these hot builds are the members of the fan community on our message board.
As was the case previously, we are only making this beta patch available through torrent to prevent clogging our server bandwidth:
- ETS2 BETA patch 1.4.x to 1.4.6 torrent download only -
Please note that this patch should not be applied over the Steam edition of the game!
For your feedback, a new forum is ready on SCS message boards:
ETS2 Bugs 1.4.6
Thank you for your patience and help! If all goes well, this build may hopefully be announced as solid enough to finally become the recommended official version of the game across all distribution channel, finally more solid and with more cool stuff than the 1.3.1 edition of the game you have been stuck with for so long.

DAF. DAF XF
The new DAF XF is more serious and aggressive than ever, with all new technology and completely new design it seems like there is no match for this machine. Also the new line of engines that provide great amount of power in all situations, while remaining fuel efficient and environment friendly just points out that this year DAF is ready to rock 'n' roll.
With all new trucks and great competition out there we'll just call it the clash of the titans. Iveco won the "Truck of the year" award but that's not gonna stop all new DAF XF to take over the control of European, as well as, Worldwide roads.
A new era, a new look
When developing the new XF, DAF continued to build on its much admired cab concept, which is renowned for its spaciousness and practical comfort. A completely redesigned front - together with the new mud guards, fenders and side skirts - ensure a very modern appearance.
In addition, maximum attention was paid to aerodynamics and optimising air flows for cooling, resulting in better fuel economy. The new headlights with LED lighting, a first in the truck industry, also contribute to this saving.
THE NEW PACCAR MX-13 EURO 6 ENGINE
Meeting the Euro 6 emission legislation was just one of the development drivers behind the PACCAR MX-13 engine. Of course, we wanted it to be extremely reliable and durable. It should also have a fuel economy at favourable Euro 5 ATe level and have the highest drivability with loads of torque.
The PACCAR MX-13 holds a mix of proven state of the art technology and smart technical innovations. It is available with 410, 460 and 510 hp and torques of 2,000, 2,300 and 2,500 Nm within a broad range from 1,000 and 1,425 rpm.
All this power goes to our new gearboxes. The AS Tronic automated transmission has unique features, including EcoRoll (truck rolling downwards with an idling engine) and FastShift (no clutch disengagement between 11th and 12th gear) to further enhance fuel efficiency. The newest generation Intarder 3 has higher output at lower speeds.

The PACCAR MX-13 holds a mix of proven state of the art technology and smart technical innovations. It is available with 410, 460 and 510 hp and torques of 2,000, 2,300 and 2,500 Nm within a broad range from 1,000 and 1,425 rpm.
All this power goes to our new gearboxes. The AS Tronic automated transmission has unique features, including EcoRoll (truck rolling downwards with an idling engine) and FastShift (no clutch disengagement between 11th and 12th gear) to further enhance fuel efficiency. The newest generation Intarder 3 has higher output at lower speeds.

A Bit of Hungary
Today we would like to bring you another peek from the upcoming DLC. This time it is several views from roads and highways in Hungary. There are visible cities in the background on some shots: Budapest and Debrecen. When it comes to size, those two new cities happen to be some of the largest in the growing ETS2 universe.

Volvo FH16 - Australia
The roll-out of the new Volvo FH series outside Europe has started. The first stop is Brisbane, Australia. Volvo Trucks’ ambition is to further strengthen the brand’s already strong market position in the country. Due to the exceptionally tough operating conditions in Australia, this launch also sends a clear message about just how high the new trucks’ quality standards really are.
The reveal of the new Volvo FH series took place in downtown Brisbane, where hundreds of employees took part in the festivities. They had a reason to celebrate. Since 2009, Volvo Trucks' market share has grown from 9.5 per cent to 12.9 per cent, according to Arne Knaben, President of Volvo Group Australia.
"This makes us the second largest heavy-duty brand in a highly competitive market where 17 different truck brands from all over the world are present. With the new Volvo FH we are convinced that we can even further strengthen our position on the market."
60 per cent of the roads in Australia are classified as rough. That, in combination with extreme heat, heavy loads and high speed limits, makes for a very tough driving environment.

New Stralis Hi-Way On The Streets (Slovakia)
We have been writing earlier about the new Iveco Stralis Hi-Way being cooked in "our labs." We would like to show you some more of it today. Driven in the DLC setting - city Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.
You should be able to drive the new Hi-Way in the upcoming patch. In the future, we intend to release more new trucks and configurations for you. Several more trucks are in various stages of completion; our commitment to Euro Truck Simulator 2 is steady and long-term. Last but not least, new and face-lifted trucks will be included in future patches free of charge.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 DLC Sneak Peek (Part 2)
Hi there,
While developing the DLC, we realized that we were bumping the limits of our technology and tool chain. In order to be able to continue growing the map for this add-on and beyond, we had to do a huge rework of the map editing code and back-end. We divided the map into manageable separate sectors, instead having the map as a single chunk.
For us, the huge upside of this enterprise us that once things click into place, we will be able to grow the map faster then before, with multiple people working on sections of the map in parallel. For map MODs potential, this effort is a start of a direction with really huge potential.
The downside was that we literally have to re-test the game from scratch, to catch all bugs appearing in the newly processed and stored map. Unfortunately, the implications of such deep change is that it takes us longer time to pull it off and come up with the planned game updates.
Please enjoy the 2nd part of country-scenery from the upcoming DLC:

Euro Truck Simulator 2 DLC Sneak Peek (Part 1)
Our first DLC came a long way to be, as a polished product, as ETS 2 was. There are still quite a few bugs to fix, but we believe soon we'd be able to tell you the release day.
Today we would like to share the first batch of shots of new countryside landmarks scenery with you, which soon you'd be able to experience yourselves.
As you may already know, the DLC will contain the rest of Poland, Slovakia and a part of Hungary including Budapest and Debrecen. We are trying to push more fidelity to the map: more objects, new objects, improved forests with larger density, to name a few, while improving game speed on average machines. Without further ado, check it out:

Forum
Well I've been thinking about adding a forum so we can easily communicate, also I'd love to assign some members to create mods or maintain the site. What do you guys think about this idea? Would it be nice to have our own forum?
If you agree and maybe have some suggestions feel free to send me an e-mail ( [email protected] ).
Also don't forget that I am the only one right now working on this site so help is needed to keep it up and running.
Thank you, Baja002

Spin Tires - Kickstarter
Community showed us that everything is possible when we helped ETS 2 to get truck licences and names. Now we have another company that is in need of our help.
Spin Tires is off-road truck driving simulation and it's far from over but just a small donation would help a lot.
So here is the link for the Kickstarter page. You can download new demo for free and try it out, that might help you decide.

ETS 2 & Oculus Rift
Developers have been experimenting with new features for the next updates; this time it's the Oculus Rift.
What is Oculus Rift?
Well it's a combination of software and goggles combined together to create realistic simulation of game environment (such as truck cabin in this case)
With this you can watch freely around the truck cabin and it seems like you are in the actual truck, this is not just fun and fancy but also very useful. It enables player for example to see right side (or left side) mirrors by simply turning head in the desired direction instead of moving mouse around.
Can't wait for the new update and all the cool stuff!

Want to Drive a Truck for Real?
The great guys at our UK publishing partner Excalibur Publishing have come up with a very cool idea to help promote Euro Truck Simulator 2 - a unique competition with a chance to win a Heavy Goods Vehicle driving course. Check it out!
Public Linux Beta of Euro Truck Simulator 2
After a few days of limited-group closed beta testing, today we are making the Linux Beta build of ETS2 accessible to general public, exclusively through Steam. This is not a free beta, you can only access it if you have already purchased/activated the full version of the game on Steam.
To test the Linux version of ETS2 you need to do following:
1) Install the game from Steam client. This will install the non-beta version which does not have Linux executables.
2) In the Steam client open the ETS2 properties screen and navigate to the "Betas" tab.
3) Select the linux_testing beta.
4) This will install the Linux binaries.
To provide feedback, please go to http://forum.scssoft.com and participate in the Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Linux Beta Testing discussion group.
The game works reasonably well on native NVidia drivers. There are some reports of flickering artifacts on ATI drivers. Older MESA versions are a problem, freshest MESA looks promising still with some serious artifacts, though.
We'll be happy to provide access to the beta to media for a preview, though there are still some elements in the Linux version that need ironing out.

Spin Tires - Review
Spin Tires is a off-road truck driving simulation created by Oovee Game Studios. The game focuses on simulating physics for both terrain and the vehicles in game, it's based on Havok Physics Engine. You'll experience extreme conditions while delivering your cargo, such as weather for example. We must admit that we haven't heard much about this team but this game feels much better than many other games of this kind created by "famous" game developers.
Spin Tiers puts you behind the wheel of heavy duty trucks and vehicles, you are free to drive around but you must be very careful since mistakes may cost you a lot. With amazingly accurate physics and terrain deformation you can easily fall of the cliff or get stuck in mud, this adds a huge amount of realism to the game since you won't be driving the same route always and even if you do it won't be the same.
Delivering packages unlocks upgrades for your truck, you can also unlock many other vehicles and we found this very pleasant surprise. After some time spent playing the game you will realize that going as fast as possible is not the key to success, this game requires patience.
Next thing we liked about this game is the graphics engine, even at Full HD resolution screen with highest settings we haven't felt any problems. Game runs smoothly in all areas even when simulating powerful physics and terrain deformation. We haven't expected much but this was a really nice surprise since we had problems with much more popular games that require very expensive configurations that many players can not afford. Game looks very good and doesn't require anything special to run; we are very glad to see that game is optimized very well. Minor tweaks are required with some vegetation and flora but this is just a test version and we know this will be fixed asap.
Game-play is very simple actually, controls are easy to navigate trough and easy to learn. The game uses standard W,A,S,D controls for driving and mouse for gear changes ( also used for moving camera around). It takes only few minutes to get used and that's the best part; you don't need to spend precious time learning controls and finding your way around the menu. Only problem we have encountered was the gear leaver disappearing when changing gears, this might be tricky especially when maneuvering your vehicle around tight corners and going up-hill.
Overall feeling for the game is very good, personally we enjoyed playing and can't wait to get the full version. It's been some time since we have played game fun as this one, it's simple and easy to play yet very complicated to maneuver around obstacles and trees or rocks. This is not the game where you simply drive from point A to point B, you have to think in advance and predict problems; and trust us there are many problems you can encounter here. So far test version doesn't support damage or fuel consumption but you can always get stuck or fall down the hill, one thing we liked about this game is realistic driving. You simply can't go trough mud without using differential which is very cool since many games support changing gears but it doesn't have much affect on driving performance.
Conclusion is that you should try this game if you like realistic off-road driving experience, we are looking forward to see this game in full version. It's very promising title from a let's say "unknown" developer, but don't get fooled. With only few things to fix I can assure you that this is one very fun game to play.
Score: 8.5 / 10
We decided to give this high score because game was a really nice surprise, we don't want to focus on problems because only problems we had were related to the sound and those can be easily fixed. Since it's still in beta phase you'll encounter bug where whole navigation menu disappears when changing gears with mouse cursor. Best of all, and the reason for this high score, is the very accurate physics simulation and the overall feeling for the vehicle and terrain.

This is just one of many reasons why we don't upload every mod here. I was just testing new mod we received and I must say it's really bad...it would be ok to use this mod; if there was no corners in game :)
Same thing all the time; we might post it here when it's done but until that day.... see for yourself

Missing Mods
We have received few questions and complaints about mods that appear on other sites but not here.
Why?
Because we always check mods we have; we test compatibility and we scan files to make sure there are no viruses or harmful software included in the rar files. Besides those test we make sure that mods look good, we don't want to share for example bad quality skin for trailer with low resolution textures or misspelled names. Since there are so many mods it might take a while to scan all files but we are doing our best to bring you the best mods.
Remember that you can send us your own mod if you have one!

Quick Hotfix for ETS 2
This is supposed to be announced tomorrow only on the official website, but for our most loyal fans reading the blog late today we have a chance to take an early look at an upcoming "hotfix" for ETS2.
We are working on a bigger patch that will address many things in the game including lots of asset tweaks and map tweaks, but this patch is addressing two potential crash situations in the game. The bugs were discovered and reported to us by customers over the past few days, and we felt it was important to get them fixed quickly, without waiting for the "big patch" to make it through the complete development and beta testing.
At the moment we only have a torrent link, the normal executable file download will come live once we have a mirror or two in place, hopefully in the morning.
Fixes in this patch:

ETS 2 News
First of all SCS Team would like to thank all their fans around the World for huge support and patience. With just few days until game is released the number of visits has increased, and combined with all sites around the Europe and World like ours, that keep translating and re-posting information about game the number could be greater than 30.000 visitors daily.
We were asked by our friends at Czech website SvetSim to help them promote their ETS2 competition - note that this link is any good for Czech readers only.
If you still cannot satisfy your fix for more YouTube clips of footage from ETS2, we recommend again our ETS2 YouTube playlist with beta tester recordings.
There are some very positive reviews of the game coming in from Brazil, if you know the language, you can read them here and here.
Last but definitely not least - our work on support for more languages in the game engine is going very well now, we have preliminary results with Korean and they look (as far as we can tell) quite believable. So we'll be looking for translators for more non-European languages - Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese... Unfortunately right-to-left written languages are still beyond our reach, but we'll revisit this code again in the future.

The power of community
With so many fans around the World something great happened to SCS Team. Because of you who like this game so much and who posted all the comments on Facebook pages of truck companies, SCS has received offer to licence another 3 brands. At this moment SCS won't say what brands this is about but my guess it's about Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and DAF. The negotiations are just in early stages but we all hope for the best.
Once again we have proven that power of community and fans is the most important part of the campaign. Knowing that they have such huge support I'm sure that SCS Team will do it's best to bring us the best truck simulation game ever.
Since last week, we have received e-mails from three truck manufacturers inquiring about our game. It seems to have been the result of a group of our fans bombarding their facebook pages with a campaign to license their brand to ETS2 (or so we understand) - it was loud enough to attract their attention. We tried to approach all truck manufacturers over the past 3 years, and mostly it wasn't really a problem that we were refused. Actually it was the problem of not being noticed at all, not being able to reach the level of decision makers in the companies. Now it seems that where we have not succeeded, you guys managed to make them raise their ears and notice our game. Nothing is to be taken for granted, the discussions are at very early stages, but with a bit of luck there is a chance for 3 more vehicles in our game getting the proper name and brand in future ETS2 updates.
Not everything works as a charm though. We have also been trying to use the power of the fan community to get noticed by Valve, the company behind Steam, on the Euro Truck Simulator 2 Greenlight campaign. Unfortunately so far this was not a success, the game is now lingering at #43 on Greenlight, actually losing a couple of places in the race since last week. Perhaps when the demo is out on October 19th, it will raise awareness of the game by so much that yet more votes will come. Others are way more lucky in this regard, Farming Simulator 2013 did not even have to go through Greenlight and was accepted to Steam with no problems (you can pre-order it already). Maybe we have picked the wrong simulation niche if there are so much more farmers than truck drivers? ;-)
To end this post on a positive note again, let's take a look at a few more landmarks spicing up the world of ETS2!

Arts & Structures
SCS team has released new photos from upcoming Euro Truck Simulator 2. We can clearly see that attention to details is on whole new level with this one, those are the news we like to hear and see. There are many statues and architecture marvels around the Europe and guys from SCS surely made many of those appear in game. This is example that shows us and confirms that buildings, cities and everything else will be highly detailed here. With their hard work they are bringing us the best truck simulation game at this moment. Also this shows us that trucks, trailers and various cargoes will be as realistic as possible.
This is nothing but impressive we must admit, with relatively small budget (compared to other game companies) they pulled this off and the game is ready to distribution around the World.

Volvo - Collision Warning
Volvo with new breaking system makes sure the driver is concentrated on the road ahead. With both visual and sound warning collision should be avoided by the driver, in case driver doesn't react the emergency brakes are applied. Distraction and inattention can be fatal for truck drivers, particularly with unexpected stoppages in traffic occur. Volvo Trucks' collision warning with emergency brake, helps drivers prevent rear-end collisions by refocusing their attention to the traffic ahead of them. When a critical situation is detected, a series of collision warnings prompt the driver to react, and if the driver fails to react, the emergency brakes ensure that a fatal collision is prevented.
ETS 2
We are glad to hear that SCS team is advancing so good, the game will be ready for all markets very soon. Don't forget to buy it either at your local store or order your version via internet on October 19. See you on the road truckers!
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is in manufacturing for all retail markets now, we have finalized and approved the masters and the localization changes of the game packaging in all launch territories as of today!
This is really a major milestone for SCS Software, time to take a breath, time to celebrate, but there is still a long road ahead of us.
In fact we haven't stopped coding, fixing and improving the game for a single day even during this "going gold" period. The foundation is here for us with version 1.0.0, but there are so many things we plan to improve and evolve about the game that we know there are at the very least months of updates ahead of us. We expect to have a "zero day" patch already for retail box customers on day of release, and of course the digital version should already appear with the latest updates included.
We also need to think hard about potential bigger-scale DLCs or extensions if we can see a sustainable business model to support such major efforts. After many developers managed to gather fan support to launch projects through Kickstarter, maybe it's time for us to thing of something similar to be able to grow the game faster than what our current limited resources allow?
There is a very inspirational YouTube movie out there which was it seems created by one of SCS Software's guardian angels, because we could hardly present the case better. While we were building the current ETS2 map (69 cities total as of now), the map designers always were keeping in mind the need to be prepared for future map extensions...

Volvo I-Torque
Volvo Truck's I-Torque is the worlds first truck driveline with dual clutch gearbox technology. It has the potential to save up to 10% on fuel and maintaining full performance. It also has lower emissions with the new Euro 6 engine.
The I-Torque is a completely new driving experience with faster acceleration and extended driveability. The I-Torque driveline consist of: Engine D13K, Gearbox I-Shift2 and Rear axle.
Let's just wait and see how this works, we know that companies tried this before and didn't went well. Let's hope this time it really works under heavy conditions. You can find more HERE and HERE.

New MAN TGX - Details
New design, upgraded aerodynamics, optimised powertrain and fully developed exhaust-gas technology: The new MAN TGX provides a comprehensive package of tuned technical solutions for ultimate reliability and transport efficiency. The fuel consumption of the Euro 6 also reaches the extremely economic level of its predecessor. The new MAN TGX EfficientLine undercuts it even by a considerable 3 litres over 100 km. The comfort for the driver also remains on track with all of this economy.
Efficiently ahead.
In Euro 6 the new MAN TGX also sets the benchmark for ultimate energy efficiency in international long-haul transport. With its tried-and-tested engine and exhaust-gas technologies it produces the best fuel consumption values. It reduces the AdBlue® consumption, provides a high payload, and impresses through perfect body friendliness. Tried-and-tested technology for ultimate reliability. The Euro 6 exhaust-gas standard enters into force for all trucks newly registered in Europe from 1 January 2014. MAN has incorporated its entire engineering expertise in development of the Euro 6 engine to satisfy this demanding standard. MAN has already successfully been using the key technologies Common Rail, exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR), Selective Catalytic Reduction and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF/CRT) for many years in its series production. These fully developed technologies were combined and tuned optimally to each other for Euro 6. The result: EURO 6 versions of MAN engines are the most consumption-efficient units in the competitive market. Savings champion in its class: MAN TGX EfficientLine. The MAN TGX EfficientLine designed consequently for consumption reduction with TeleMatics® hardware as standard also retains its top position in Euro 6: This means up to 3 litres less fuel over 100 km compared to a standard vehicle. It therefore saves up to 4,500 litres of diesel fuel per year, which equates to around 8,500 euros. The EfficientLine configuration is available for the TGX 2-axle semitrailer tractor. EfficientLine packages are also available for TGX 3-axle chassis and for TGX vehicles in long-haul transport. Cabs to satisfy all needs. Fatigue-free, concentrated driving and a relaxed living environment – the MAN TGX cabs provide both. After all, only a driver in top form can also produce top performances at the steering wheel. • XXL cab.The cab with the most space going anywhere in Europe. For maximum comfort and optimal freedom of movement in international long-haul transport. 2,100 mm standing height, two comfortable bunk beds, generous stowage space and options. • XLX cab. Tailored optimally to the Fleet segment, a long-haul transport cab par excellence. Generously sized interior, practical storage compartment. With comfortable bunk bed as standard, second bed as an optional extra. • XL cab. Perfect for national distribution transport. Impressive feeling of space, comfortable cross-cab access from door to door. Including comfortable bunk bed. |
Intelligent safety systems on board.
More safety, less accidents, higher efficiency. To minimise accident risks, the new MAN TGX has a reliable safety architecture with electronic driver assistance and safety systems: ESP stability program as standard for 2-axles, LGS Lane Assistant, ACC Adaptive Cruise Control and CDC Continuous Damping Control as optional equipment. Elegance in top form Sovereign, powerful, dynamic: the completely new design of the vehicle front of the TGX and TGS confers elegance and distinction. A strong appearance with charisma from the sun visor to the air dam. The MAN brand in capital letters in the radiator sets a focal point and conveys self-confidence. The modernised lion, unmistakable trademark of all MAN vehicles, is now integrated harmonically in the chrome trim. The combination of an even more dynamically designed radiator grille with the wide-open wind deflectors with visible air conduits has helped to create an all new vehicle front perfectly reflecting the evolution of the TGX and TGS designs. Form follows function The new design not only looks good, it also meets all the technical requirements of the Euro 6 standard. The cooling power has been increased by widely opening the vehicle front, maximising the incoming air flow cross-section and ensuring the engine cooling. The air conduit at the radiator grille has also been optimised for a more even air flow under underneath the vehicle. Aerodynamic optimisations to the A-pillars, wind deflectors and bumpers minimise the fuel consumption. The overall improved aerodynamics therefore make an important contribution to ensuring that even for Euro 6 there is no increased fuel consumption. 2012/2013 seems like a promising year and it will be great to watch all the new beasts fighting. With brand new trucks out there it's gonna be interesting for sure. But let's not rush ahead yet, there is a whole year to see what truck performs best and achieves best results. |

It's Almost Here
So here we are, on the brink of "Going Gold" - tired, but proud that we have finally fulfilled our ambitions and built the best game in SCS Software's 15-year history.
The game is not perfect, there will be small glitches discovered here and there, there will be additional features that people will ask us to add to the game, and we are committed to support the and improve the game well beyond the initial release. There are so many opportunities for evolving the game further, and it may be hard for us to choose where to focus our limited capacity. But we can discuss this later, for now, all our attention is on finalizing ETS2 for production.
Visit official blog for more info HERE
Also very good news from EA's Origin, ETS 2 is published among great titles who are developed by much bigger companies... this shows us how good this game is right now, it can only become better. Support SCS and buy ETS 2.

Atego BlueTech Hybrid
It stands for climate-protecting short-radius distribution transport: “Truck of the Year 2011” and Europe’s first series-production hybrid truck: the Atego BlueTec® Hybrid. An electric assembly supports the internal-combustion engine and even takes care completely of the intensive-fuel-consumption pulling-away phase.
Thanks to this, diesel consumption and the consequent CO2 emissions are around 15 percent lower than those of a conventional vehicle with a similar output. Depending on operating conditions and topography, even higher savings are possible. Exactly 50 units of these 12-ton trucks were delivered in a first phase in mid-2011.The “Truck of the Year 2011” is based on an Atego 1222 L with Euro V.
It already complies with emission standard EEV (Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle) for exceptionally low emissions. The diesel engine with a displacement of 4.8 litres delivers 160 kW, the water-cooled electric motor has an output of 44 kW. It is located between the diesel engine and the transmission. In this parallel hybrid drive system both the assemblies can either work alone or combined.

Short video of new MAN trucks at IAA 2012. Lots of people from all over the World, many truck companies and exhibitors gathered this year to show the best in the truck World. See for more details. You can find more detailed info list of exhibitors here
Renault CX/03 Concept
Renault launched the new video of the visionary model. Personally I'm not a fan of this futuristic technology but this truck does have some potential. CX/03 concept is an industrial design study for a long-distance vehicle, completely focused on fuel savings.
Noble materials, top aerodynamics and technological innovations are combined in this vehicle, designed to give the manufacturer a long-term direction for its fuel-saving research. I'm not sure will it be produced someday but right now we can only watch cool trailer. What's your comment on all this?

New Mercedes Actors
The new Actors is here. With many new features and remarkable design it's ready to conquer the roads of the World.
The main rival to the new Actros is its predecessor, which has set a very high benchmark over the course of 15 years and several stages of development, with more than 700,000 units sold during this time. The new Actros is following in illustrious footsteps, but its new concept signals a different approach: all versions of the new premium truck are uncompromisingly designed for long-distance transport.

Volvo in Details
The new Volvo FH is here and it's ready to wipe out the competition. New Volvo attracted more attention than any other truck this year, why?
Volvo introduced many new features and it's determined to be the best. Since there are so many questions about this new model you better watch the full video where Claes Nillson, the president of the Volvo Trucks, answers all your questions.

V8 Trucks
Today we are listening some great sounds of the real power, the V8 Scania. Now, you might say it's not the best truck there but you have to admit that the sound is amazing. I haven't seen may videos of MAN, DAF, Mercedes or others that shows us so much trucks and sounds. Do you have your favorite on YouTube or maybe you've recorded awesome V8? Send a link and we might post it here!
Note. watch the end of the video, what do you think about convertible truck?

Toy Truck?
Is it funny to call this a toy? We all know models are not meant to be used for pulling cars but this is really cool. There are plenty videos of RC trucks but I was really impressed watching this, there is another video of this truck on YouTube on the same channel.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam
You can see how ETS 2 is positioned right now. ETS 2 is now on 41 position and to get on Steam it needs to be in top 10. We are reminding you again to cast your votes, note that free accounts can't vote for games; you need to have at least one game purchased on your Steam account.
MAN Trucks FWD
This must look like a joke right? But you'd be wrong if you said that MAN doesn't have front wheel drive. New MAN trucks are equiped with HydroDrive system that enables the driver to engage or disengage front wheel drive. With this in your truck you can't get stuck pretty much nowhere around. See this video for more detailed description.

Mercedes Safety Truck
Mercedes claims that Safe Drive will dramatically decrease number of accidents. Testing and researching over years, Mercedes found that over 80% of all accidents occur at speeds lower than 50 km/h. With this new technology driver will be warned with both visual and sound signals to react at safe distance; if driver doesn't react the computer will calculate accurately and immediately apply brakes. In case of emergency braking like this, even safety system has it's own backup system to prevent collision. Drivers behind the truck will see flashing brake lights and turn signals, just to make sure that driver in front doesn't get hurt and gets chance to react the horn will automatically make very loud warning signal.
Always wear your seatbelt and obey the rules of the road!
SCS is grateful for you help and support guys
SCS noticed few videos that are really stunning and great looking. Don't be afraid to upload or share your video or wallpapers, you might get noticed by SCS Team. Here are the two videos SCS has noticed, credits goes to legomanjcg and TruckGameCZ.
eHighway Trucks by Siemens Technology
Siemens is testing new technology that will reduce noise level and environmental pollution. How this works? Trucks driving on diesel power will switch to electric power when in lane where electric is available. This way fuel consumption is reduced and pollution is minimized. When trucks change lanes system automatically switches either to diesel power of electric power. This system is currently tested in Germany and it's planned to be installed Worldwide in next decade. Find out more on the links below and comment in discussion section.
