American Truck Simulator and its older sibling, European Truck Simulator

1.45 out for both titles.

Just digging into the notes now myself.

Rain sensing wipers!

And in addition to 1.45 on both games, Montana is getting release for ATS on August 4!

My favorite new feature! I confess I didn’t even know these were a real thing on real vehicles.

Is dental floss being added as cargo?

Perfect. They can stop expanding east now.

Garbage truck deliveries have been added, among other things.

Is there a “group” component to World of Trucks we could create for qt3? Or, failing that, a Discord group for us?

Sorry, I was just making a Frank Zappa joke that fell flat.

Whoops! Music reference? My bad!

There’s really not a group component to WoT that I know of.

Is there a Qt3 Discord? I thought I was in it, but maybe I’m just imagining things?

ATS is getting a new rig!:

Re: QT3 Discord:

I new event finally, also, with the launch.

For MP, the closest is probably something with TruckersMP.

I also haven’t given up on my YouTube channel for trucking. I had one video that just died during recording – it was just too rambly. I recorded one on Sunday that outlined a plan for things, that I changed my mind on, and some things that proved wrong.

I am going to try an record one this Sunday for the DLC.

Yep, the 57X is one of Daimler Truck North America’s latest models, supplanting the 5700 of a few years back.

The in-game convoy mode is really solid for casual multiplayer with friends, and I think has supplanted a lot of the TruckersMP activity. Truckers MP has a much higher active player limit, which makes it great for large events, if that’s of interest.

I would like to have seen Montana.

Which released today.

(kind of an obscure reference, but still)

Not that obscure!

I blame the cook.

Nice.

Even I got that one, and I never get things.

In we go! Big Sky Country!

Would have been more obscure in the original Russian.
