I wonder why ETS 2 skips version 1.29 and immediately "jumps" to 1.30?
It's simple: both games (ETS 2 and ATS) were being prepared for the release of new expansions and major updates at the same time, but a few weeks before the start of the open testing of the American Truck Simulator 1.29 update, it was decided to temporarily freeze work on ETS 2 and focus on one of the games (in any case, they share the same base, so this did not set one game back compared to the other). After the release of ATS 1.29, it was finally decided that ETS 2 would skip version 1.29 and immediately update to 1.30, while American Truck Simulator would catch up with it in the near future.

The Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.30 update will bring a lot of exciting content to the game, and most importantly – all of it will be absolutely free!

Main innovations:
- Redesigned northern part of Italy, including a completely newly created city of Milan:
As we mentioned earlier, in this update the developers from SCS Software are releasing a redesigned part of the standard, "base" part of Italy. This is done in anticipation of the release of the Euro Truck Simulator 2: Italia expansion, which will add a full-fledged Italian region to the game.
- Updated navigation algorithm.
The new navigation system has already been used in American Truck Simulator since version 1.29, and now it’s time to add it to ETS 2. This is a large-scale update of the navigation functionality in the game, which required a lot of effort and time to implement, but now this functionality is ready and will surely please the game’s fans.
- Added support for time zones:
Time zone changes have appeared in ETS 2 as well. The addition of a time zone simulation system will allow for a higher quality approach to the further expansion of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 map. For now, time zone changes will only be noticeable when traveling from England to continental Europe and vice versa, since all other countries available in the game, except England, are in the same time zone.
- New SCANIA S and R series trucks:
The ETS 2 1.30 update adds new, long-awaited trucks, which have probably become the most detailed trucks in the game. Thus, you will be able to explore the redesigned northern part of Italy and look for other changes in these new trucks.

Other changes:
- The ZF-16 gearbox has been updated for the upcoming Italia expansion and adapted for all trucks on which it was previously unavailable;
- Improved map projection (more accurate environmental simulation), map panning settings;
- Added support for simulation of new engine types (for example, those installed in the 2017 DAF model range);
- Brief information (tooltip) about the truck will now display information about the installed engine type and gearbox;
- Trailers that are used only in certain countries will no longer appear outside those countries and will be used only in countries where they are legally allowed;
- Developers continued to improve DAF, Volvo, and SCANIA trucks;
- A variety of fixes and corrections on the game map, both in its base part and in regions added by expansions (DLC);
- Added a new trailer for transporting yachts.

Developer tools / modding:
- Added new functionality for lighting and weather settings (part of the Editor);
- Added new functionality for traffic rules settings and monitoring (part of the Editor);
- Added the ability to preview the constructed scene (part of the Editor);
- Added new navigation functionality in map parameters and data;
- Added data from service/support centers (garages) to economic parameters;
- Added data from weigh station prices to economic parameters.
On November 17, the open beta test of the 1.30 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 was launched.

Anyone interested can participate in the open testing (no password required). To do this, select the test build of the game (public_beta – 1.30 public beta) in the game properties on Steam, under the “BETAS” tab. You can leave information about found bugs and issues on the developers’ forum.

Update 0.11 brought the first large urban area to BeamNG.drive, as well as many improvements such as clutch heating, siren and horn sounds, new effects, and much more.

In addition, you can now browse and download new mods directly from BeamNG.drive and easily save them all with a single click.

Main changes:
- Map West Coast USA
- Built-in mod repository (automatic mod updates available)
- Added simulation of vehicle behavior reaction to engine RPM changes (vehicle rocking during sudden RPM increases, especially noticeable with powerful engines) https://youtu.be/TIwv0UClSjs

Physics:
- Improved overall physics performance by approximately 10%.
- Improved heightmap interpolation. This smooths road surfaces and enhances the overall driving feel.
- Enhanced collision reaction force calculations between vehicles. This improves tarpaulin sides and increases payload capacity.
- Improved tire marking placement.
- Improved calculation of initial tire inflation pressure.
- Fixed pressure physics: previously, pressure stopped decreasing above 88 meters altitude.
- Fixed objects not moving during pause.

Powertrain:
- Implemented clutch heating with the possibility of overheating during intensive use.
- Improved clutch stability with the torque converter.
- Improved clutch for automatic transmission and parking mode.
- Added realistic nitrous oxide (NOS) injection support, including various tank sizes, visual effects of line clearing, and engine block explosions at excessive torque.
- Added sequential gearbox

Hello everyone,

It’s been a month since Spintires: MudRunner was released, and we’re excited to tell you about some new features we’re working on and plan to add to the game next week! If you missed what was in the last update, you can check it out here.

Currently, we plan for these features to appear on PC next week and on consoles a couple of weeks after that. We will provide a full changelog at the time of the update release.

New features on all platforms:
- A new third-person camera mode, where the vehicle will be centered (not off to the side).
- A new autosave system that automatically saves your game progress every five minutes.
- The ability to rotate the camera backward inside the cabin.
- Adjusted difficulty for loading logs onto trailers. It will be easier for players to straighten the truck for loading timber.
- Various settings and fixes.

On consoles:
- Wheel support will be introduced! The specifications of the wheels that will be supported will be published at the time of the console update release, in a couple of weeks.

On PC:
- More wheels will be officially supported, and many others will work correctly, though not all will have pedal or preset support.
- New hotkeys for quickly switching to and from the cabin view.

Of course, we continue working on other features such as
Steam Workshop map support for PC, functional mirrors, and more, as well as other content that should be a surprise.

Thank you, and let’s keep moving forward to release this update! Please keep sending your feedback as we continue working on Spintires: MudRunner.

See you soon!

Hello, friends!

We are pleased to introduce a new feature on the site – now, to write a comment on an article, it is no longer necessary to use a VK account. A site account is enough!

At the moment, the main functionality has been implemented: writing comments with the ability to upload an image, editing and deleting your own comments, writing replies (one level of replies, like on VK), rating comments (upvotes and downvotes).
Please note, comments are now arranged in chronological order (newest at the bottom) (it’s unclear why VK comments are the opposite).

Comments are currently operating in test mode and are located below the VK comments. After testing and debugging, our own comments will be placed above the VK comments, and later, if VK comments fall out of use, they will be removed.

We allow anything to be written under this news (within reasonable limits) and encourage testing the comments’ robustness by any means :)
For all other pages, the commenting rules remain in effect! Comments that violate the rules will be deleted as before.

Thank you for being with us!
