American Truck Simulator 1823

Today the developers officially announced the development of a new DLC dedicated to Texas, which was showcased during the Christmas livestream.
The Lone Star State, the second largest state in the USA both by area and population, will offer many unique attractions: from cities to coastal beaches, mountains, and deserts. Texas is diverse both geographically and culturally. The state is also the best for running your own business. It has the second largest economy after California. Numerous jobs, factories, and corporations.
Texas is also one of the best states in the USA for doing business! It boasts the second largest economy in the USA after California, with a huge number of companies and industries. There are many jobs, from livestock farming to energy and aerospace, so drivers deliver goods here year-round.
SCS has confirmed that this DLC for American Truck Simulator will be available this year. Alongside this expansion, the team is also working on another state.
Looking forward to the news!

Finally, the long-awaited release of patch 1.40 for ATS has arrived. Long days of development and testing are behind us. Undoubtedly, there will still be minor patches, but the main work on the update is complete, and the developers are ready to give players the opportunity to enjoy a major update!
Lighting System
Perhaps the biggest change is the new lighting system. So many articles have been written about it, so much work has been done – and it was all worth it. Many textures and systems in the game were reworked to implement this system. Thanks to this system, the graphics in the game reach a whole new level. Now you will enjoy your journey, a dynamic lighting system, improved shadows, and other cool effects!
This is not the final version of the lighting system, and further refinements and improvements will be made in this regard. The developers have announced this. But for now, the system is in a more than presentable state, so enjoy it. Let us remind you that beta testing has ended. However, players still have the opportunity to report issues to the developers, which increases the likelihood of fixing certain bugs. 
New Chassis Options
The developers previously announced new types of chassis, and now they are available in the game. Short and long chassis, a wide selection for every taste. Currently, 3 types are available (but in total 9 extended variants): 4x2, 8x4, and 8x6. But what do the new chassis types offer? It’s simple!
The new chassis types give you completely new possibilities. The most vivid example is the 8x6, which is perfect for transporting practically any cargo, any load. As mentioned above, there are 9 chassis extensions in total: including variants with standard cabs, sleeper cabs, and so on.
Western Star 49x
The WS 49X vehicle has been overhauled in the new update. This vehicle has a wide variety of upgrade options: 36 chassis variants, fuel tanks, individual customization of various parts, sleeper configurations, and much more! You will be able to perfectly tailor this vehicle to your needs. In addition to the standard configuration types, the WS 49x now also has three new gearboxes. 
Viewpoints
We are all already familiar with the viewpoint system in ATS. This system was already implemented in the game, but with the new update, new viewpoints are available. Thus, players will be able to unlock new viewpoints in Oregon and New Mexico. 
When a viewpoint is activated, a short cutscene begins. There is an option to skip cutscenes. Additionally, there is an option to replay the scene if you accidentally skipped it or want to watch a beautiful mini-overview of the area again. 
Other Changes
There are also minor changes. There are quite a few of them; the main changes are described above. Certain changes have been made to the interface, namely:
The vehicle adjustment menu has received a number of improvements. This menu opens with the F4 key. A full text search for cities or companies when selecting a job has been added. 

The mod fixes several small issues in the default SCS weather setup.
- Dashboard brightness fixed (as much as possible)
- Uses the new "Stability" feature, so one weather type lasts all day, with weather type changing only at night.
- The mod has 4 weather types
1 - Blue sky (taken from the "Clear Sky" mod). Activated with the command g_set_skybox 0
2 - Overcast weather - Activated with the command "g_set_skybox 1"
3 - Overcast + fog. Activated with the command "g_set_skybox 2"
4 - Overcast + light rain. Activated with the command "g_set_skybox 3"
One rain type without thunder.
