ATS 1.39 Speculation Thread

[Sametbey2]

The SCS Twitter page reached almost 100K followers. It's a great opportunity to share a teaser.

Some addition to what you guys are talking about, I was passing by frkn64 mods page to check if there is some work on next update for his realistic graphics mod and I found out that he stopped working on an update because: "Waiting for the next game update to be released". Why would he suspend working on an update, because of game update, if only he knows that some changes in weather mechanics will take place... On other hand how could he know that?

Might be possible because when the Instagram page hit 140k they posted a teaser for the Anthem

@CDRacer he knows that 1.39 is the year end update. Especially with the recent Steam activity. So he is speculating that since 1.38 did not bring significant graphics updates that 1.39 will. No point in continuing under 1.38 if 1.39 will wash it all out.

Here's some things that i would love if they get added in the upcoming 1.39:

- Hood mirrors on traffic vehicles. Almost every truck have them IRL.
- Paintable steelies for the tractor unit. Also, the 5 hole steelie from the trailers should be available to the truck as well.
- More accessories for the truck interior. Not just the hanging item.
- Aerokits exactly like the ones from FlowBelow (On some trucks, i.e. the Cascadia, it would look nice).

I had more stuff in my mind but i ended up forgetting them, so i'll post just the ones above...

Acessories for truck interiors, at least paid ones like in ETS 2, are not coming until all brands are in the game.

Love to see a rework of California. ESPECIALLY Los Angeles

That's not exactly true. You are referring to tuning packs. The two are not related. Pavel stated he doesn't want to provide tuning pack until all 7 brands are in because he feels like its a bandaide for the lack of trucks. We could actually get an accessories pack at any moment. Iirc, SCS didn't do it already because they thought it was against the law here to have things on the dash. But a few actual US truckers pretty much informed SCS that was a false statement. In the US, as long as your view is not obstructed, you can have things on the dash but one should be reasonable with it. Now you won't see things like what ETS2 offers on the windshield or dash but you can place things there.

There was also the thought that NA trucks don't have space on the Dash. I seriously don't see how this i remotely possible. If you look the interior of conventional trucks, there is quite a bit of space up there. In most cases its the same or more than COE's.

@flight50 Having the option to install a dashcam in the windshield would be quite nice... i just feels like having just the hanging item is not enough. Perhaps one of the projects on steamdb is a cabin accessories DLC... who knows.

@Knightrider Regular accessories for the interior has nothing to do with how many trucks we have in-game. The only thing that is related to the trucks is the branded stuff, like hats, mugs and etc... and yes, those things won't come before a tuning pack and the tuning pack itself won't come before all brands are included in ATS.

@55sixxx no one really runs steel wheels on tractors anymore.
