ATS 1.40 Speculation Thread

[Marcello Julio]

1.39 was officially released today, now is the time to start speculating about 1.40 update!
So, let's start the party!

[John29]

New graphics update with dirt and mud and truck wash would be great

[SirVirgoTheMess]

New ownable trailer : tanker/cistern for fuel,gas and oil.
New truck : Freightliner new Cascadia.
City rework in California.
New parts for Western Star 49X.

And mods breaking
That's what i'm thinking for now.

@John29, as mentioned here previously, SCS will not have filthy trucks render in the game due to licencing issues. If they want to create a fictional brand of their own, with damage and dirt shown, they are more than welcome.

But they're risking a lawsuit by having even the slightest scratch on the commercially licenced trucks. Rain on the windscreen is probably almost pushing it!

Even the best graphics engine on earth will not see this become a reality without approval from the manufacturers of the truck. And why would they approve this anyway? Does one think that a smashed up (xxbrandxx) would be the best way of marketing a product?

again, who said that ? SCS already experimented with it but it didnt work like they wanted, so they shelved it for later

[SirVirgoTheMess]

Fictional brand is what will start a lawsuit.Why there's no dirt yet is because of performance issues.SCS tried it in the past and didn't liked the results.
I don't recall one time someone saying manufacturers won't allow dirt.Damage in the other hand,that would be a problem.

Freightliner Cascadia and tuning parts for the new WS.

I think 1.40 may have something related to the reason why SCS changed the launch screen in 1.39.

I also hope that 1.40 brings fixes to some of the map bugs that made their way into the public version of 1.39 and hopefully an FMOD fix to the audio pop in the Mack Anthem engine sound.

@John29, as mentioned here previously, SCS will not have filthy trucks render in the game due to licencing issues.

This is incorrect. I believe it was the Washington Pre-release stream to where Pavel confirmed that dirty trucks are not part of the licensing.

My 1.40 prediction
New trailer tankers
More 49x parts
