Seasons and months in ATS

[Trucker Nik]

Hi everyone, as we know scs work on the seasons, I think with the seasons should come the months and the alternation of summer and winter time, (in those states where these times alternate) scs could also make the winter and summer solstice, so the moment when the days lengthen and the nights shorten and vice versa, scs could do in detail the sunset and sunrise as it is in each country on a given day and at a certain hour and minute, as we have a new lighting system I think it would be possible first with the seasons I would like snow, and later rain and snow, freezing, spreading vehicles, also should then adjust the temperatures that could reach negative values ​​over the winter, in this topic you can discuss the seasons and the months you would they wanted or how you imagine it will work

Last interview with Pavel about 3 months ago, if I'm not mistaken he said they want to do it or that they are working on it

Dude, Its gonna be years for that to happen. He would've said would want to do it. Not working on it right now. Pretty much have a bunch of other projects on the table anyway.

I guess Ceco is talking about Pavel’s interview to Vortex gaming magazine. In that Pavel just said about the challenges of bringing seasons to the game and that it’s in their never-ending bucket list. I watched the entire interview, he never really confirmed about anything they are actively working on.

For those who are interested, here’s a link to the interview. The interview is in Czech but English subtitles are available.

Yes I meant this conversation, thank you @harishw8r I also looked at it now and mentioned that they want to make the seasons, even though it's a long way to discuss it, we can, I'm from Slovakia so I'm grateful for this interview because I understand without captions

It would be very cool to see seasons in both games, but I don't expect it at all for a long time, mainly due to the fact that many assets have to be reworked in order to fit the seasons in the game and also creating the textures for assets/roads/and other stuff in the world. I could be proven wrong though, but I won't expect seasons for a long time.

I look forward to eventual seasons…imagine driving in the autumn with all the leaves changing, driving through the mountains in the winter (hopefully with seasons comes tire chains!)

I think the best we can hope for at the moment is just a simple calendar system that adjusts the hours of daylight and such (i.e. shorter days in December/January, longer in June/July).
