Euro Truck Simulator 2 news 86

Back in July, the ETS 2 developers shared information that they are collaborating with DAF Trucks, which meant that new and interesting DAF models would be appearing in the game. However, not all models were fully presented to players. The reason for this was a lack of time. But this is all fixable; the developers have put a lot of effort in and are ready to present players with the highly anticipated DAF XF truck.
You will be able to drive the DAF XF this fall, which is certainly exciting. The main focus of this vehicle is on driver comfort and safety, as well as transportation efficiency. Work on the truck is actively ongoing, the model is still being developed, but some progress is already available for viewing.
This is just one truck among many upcoming ones, yet players have grown very fond of the DAF XF. This is a next-generation vehicle with a beautiful design, an incredible safety system, and drivers feel like they are in paradise compared to other trucks, as special attention is given to comfort. Are you looking forward to the new DAF trucks? Share your answer in the comments!

Last time, you enjoyed guessing locations from screenshots. This time, we invite you to take a look at new screenshots from the "Heart of Russia" expansion and try to guess exactly where these screenshots were taken. Write your answer in the comments!
The process is made a bit more challenging by the fact that these are not the final versions of the locations in the screenshots. They are still a work in progress, but the harder it is, the more interesting it gets! Can you guess without peeking at other comments?

Well, work on Euro Truck Simulator is in full swing. It seems that the developers are currently working on a new expansion featuring machinery. We invite you to take another look at the screenshots and try to guess what kind of machinery it is and what it will be used for.
Unfortunately, we do not know the release date for this expansion yet. As soon as there is more information, we will definitely share it with you. 

Many fans of Euro Truck Simulator 2 are eagerly awaiting the release of the major expansion Heart Of Russia, as the expansion’s events take place in Russia. Some good news: you will be able to visit not only the major cities that immediately come to mind when this country is mentioned, but also small villages. 
It’s very pleasing to see how well the developers have captured the entire atmosphere of Russian villages. The historical architecture is fully preserved, but everything corresponds to modern Russia. This means that typical wooden huts are not as common; nowadays, villages have more modern-style houses. Unique architecture of buildings and streets, a familiar atmosphere – what more could you want for complete happiness?
All this will be complemented by various structures already worn down by time, as this is also a common sight: you will encounter ruined buildings, abandoned houses, and more. And, surprisingly as it may be, this perfectly enhances the overall background of the game. 
This is just a small portion of the content from the new expansion. Expect more news very soon!

As we all know very well, work on Euro Truck Simulator 2 is ongoing. The developers are simultaneously working on various updates, expansions, and fixes, and constantly share information with their players. Today we will talk about the reskin of the city of Lyon.
Looking at the screenshots, it becomes clear that the French city in ETS 2 has been heavily reworked. Various aspects have been touched upon: from decorations to the overall city layout. All these changes were made for greater realism as well as for the convenience of drivers. Previously, it was very difficult for heavy truck drivers, as they had to use bridges and roads that were not intended for them at all. Now everything is great!
To bring this goal to reality, 4 interchanges were added. Let’s not forget about the new landmarks: Viaduc de Perrache, the Confluence Museum, and the Groupama Stadium. By the way, the old landmarks were also reworked and improved. 
There are too many changes to cover everything just yet, but the most important ones have already been discussed. In addition, road signs have been changed, and everything has been brought to a more presentable look. It’s nice to see how the developers are putting effort into the game!

An excellent new update for TruckersMP. There was one problem – people wanted to play with friends and plan trips together. However, it was very difficult to choose the same job, which could prevent a joint trip from happening. But a decision was made to create a freight dispatcher. What is it? We'll explain now.
The freight dispatcher is a new menu, a new interface where a player can select or generate cargos and then share this job with everyone interested. This way, the process of matching the same job for different players is simplified to the maximum, solving a major TruckersMP problem. 
Thanks to this dispatcher, you will no longer have to worry about how to pick the same job to travel with friends, and you will have more time to plan the job itself and the route. 
Have fun traveling! 
F.A.Q
Now let's look at the most frequently asked questions and provide answers.
Will this update be released only for Euro Truck Simulator 2, or for both games?
Of course, it would be silly to release this update for only one game, so the task dispatcher will be available for both ETS 2 and ATS. 
Is this add-on compatible with DLC?
Yes, absolutely! So, if you have DLC that adds new cargos, you will be able to select them. However, if you don’t have such DLC – the list of new cargos will also not be available, which is logical. 
Settings
Undoubtedly, the dispatcher has certain settings for you. If you want, after selecting a cargo you can immediately start the job, or choose an option to drive to the cargo yourself first and only then start the job. 
How do you invite a friend?

It’s also very simple here: first create a job, then right-click on your friend’s nickname and select the corresponding function.
The user receives an invitation. If they accept it – the joint task begins; if they decline – nothing happens.
