That’s something you might want to ask the truck brands which issue the license or people over at Bus Simulator on how they got licenses so fast. Eventually you’ll understand that licensing isn’t even the main issue in most cases - it’s also the modeling time and most importantly, the quality that matters.

Also, SCS works on multiple things at a time. Now that the licensing horizons are broadened and the Vehicle team has to also model things with wheels apart from trucks, it’s natural that trucks getting a delay.

Yet they never fail to deliver. I thought ATS would not even get a single truck this year and then the LT came out of nowhere, I’m always grateful for that. SCS has a certain well-planned timeline to follow, and just because a few players complain about the lack of trucks, a bit outdated graphics or their favourite region not being added/rebuilt, things aren’t going to change drastically.

So the bottomline is, if one isn’t happy with the content delivered by SCS and is hell bent on criticising SCS for everything or doing rather pointless comparisons with different simulators, just don’t play the game! There is a good fraction of player base that just appreciates the game for the way it is, so that’s no big loss.

I mean, SCS isn't a AAA studio. Yeah, you can say they've got a monopoly on truck simulators, but that isn't saying much when this is, relatively speaking, a niche type of video game. Plus, ETS2 is from 2012 (and ATS is from 2016 but, it was built using much of ETS2's framework.) So, I don't think graphics are a fair comparison when most AAA games have a lifespan of one to three years.

- First of all, SCS uses it's own game/graphic engine. They don't use Unreal or another 3rd party game engine for their franchise. It's homemade, so it takes time to improve and develo0p.
- Second. SCS moved from DX9 to DX11 not so long ago. After the deployment of DX11, we received FMod and the new light system. And Pavel mentioned about moving to DX12.
- Third SCS DID improve the graphics this year with the new light system. and in the past with SSAO. Is not 100% finished, but it was a huge step forward for both games. I know things will get better in the future.
- Fourth, it is well known that the game is not good optimized. I remember reading here about the game being "single-core" on the code processing, so that's why you have some bottlenecks in the process and makes the FPS drop down in some new areas. I am sure SCS is working on the optimization, but, as I mentioned in point 1, that's why it takes time.
- And to end, SCS has good relationship with the brands. The issue is the man power required to do the vehicles that are in the pipeline. They worked with 3 brands for an exclusive release (DAF, Renault & WS) close to the one in real life. Those are top secret projects, with a tight schedule. Because of that, you put the other projects aside. Now that new releases are not in the horizon, I think we will get more trucks released frequently.

But, claim the lack of trucks in the game, when less than a year ago we finally received the Cascadia and the 7 major brands of US in the game... sounds spoiled.

Every year scssoftware keep saying they are going to make graphics better as you've said and they are doing it better.
