American Truck Simulator
Discussion
Only a few days left until release.
Disappointing that there's only two official trucks on release, with the rest waiting on licensing approval but mod authors are sure to pick up the slack.

It had better come with 3 stick shifting and a loud jake brake

Nothing confirmed from SCS about compatibility as far as I know, but it is essentially an expandalone to ETS2, so I expect the American truck mods will probably come over quite quickly. I think some more licenced trucks are coming soon, once they add Arizona the content is pretty reasonable to me for £15.
It looks like this is on the money about how it isn't appreciably different from ETS, but it should be good. Things like the weighbridge and parking difficulty stuff are nice touches. It's the same higher fidelity better optimised ETS2 of the Scaninavia DLC and has some nice details, so it does look alright. I assume it's still using MLAA so not brilliant, Scandinavia looks fantastic with SSGSSA injected and runs better than the original parts of the map, this should benefit from that.
I don't think I'll be touching this for a while, I'm still very gradually trying to near as 100% both map DLCs, and Promods which keeps getting bigger
Squirrel is streaming it on Twitch all weekend if you fancy an early look.

I'm getting this as my ETS2 profile is still lots of fun, hopefully they will be quick about releasing new trucks. At least they took the time to release a statement to say why there was only two (will link when I'm not at work!) but the two main points are:
- truck companies have no precedent for licencing their trucks
- chicken and egg ("do we want to licence our trucks on a game that might not be successful")
Apparently the Peterbilt 389 is coming into the game shortly, and hopefully it will be as good as the mod on ETS2

I'm hoping some mod author will release the Happy Toyz truck.
I've been watching Squirrel through the day and I forgot how frustrating starting off and levelling up a new profile is.
My ETS2 profile is level 40 and 10.0 XP, so I've unlocked everything and a new profile only unlocks certain upgrades when you level up.

Hoping they will work with the modders on the forums to improve the trucks, oh and get a Freightliner licence

Thanks, I have gone abit overboard with the mods though with quite a few extra trucks and various lighting/wheels/tyres/trailer mods. Going to be hateful next time they do a big update!! Though along with those 3 I only really use this Aussie Kenworth (sorta looks US like)

and then some scania/DAF mods (won't spam Euro trucks here).
Not long now till this one comes out, think I'm going to be late to work the following day
