SCS Software

SCS could have secured a big slice of the pie if they'd been a little faster. Now TML was faster and they sold 200,000 copies.

Fortunately, the Fernbus simulator is available since 4 years, because we are still waiting for the SCS bus simulator after 7 years.

The launchpad update could just as well be a preparation for driving school mode. At the moment we don't know anything exactly.

I suspect that this project is no longer being worked on.

The last official information about this was in the last newsletter, which is now over 5 years old. The newsletter has also been abandoned.

Hopefully 32-bit support will finally be thrown overboard in the coming year 2021. All that old code and backwards compatibility just makes the game unnecessarily slow.

The screen is much larger anyway, so it would make sense here if the game scaled the screen more and pulled everything apart a bit. In 2020 and in the HiDPI age, better scaling should be possible for large screens so that the screen is nicely filled.

Long level texts overlap with the Mods icon.
Always reproducible, 1.39.0.33

The exe file of version 1.39 has grown by one megabyte compared to the 1.38. This suggests numerous changes under the hood.

Conclusion after a short test:

The new lauchpad is a deterioration, no longer so innovatively usable.

The truck sounds are still bad, they were better in the pre-FMod era.

Not only the wiki is WIP, also the whole sound is still WIP. Many trucks only have a slight background noise and almost none idle sound. The fact is that since the Fmod update, the trucks no longer sound like a truck.
