[ARCHIVED] SCS General Discussion Thread

MS can afford that, SCS don't

Forget any kind of possibility for an open multiplayer of any kind or of hosted servers by SCS. If we ever have an official MP, it's going to be in the form of closed servers that we will have to setup, maintain and administer. So, if a server will have not enough capacity, or good latency or has a problem with trolls, there will be the players on charge of that private server who will have to deal with all of that. SCS isn't going to bleed tons of money to be the nurses of nobody. That would be their grave.

This is multiplayer

No. Only video editing.
SCS said that on social media or discord a few mounths ago. In response to the allegations that this is video was recorded on TruckersMP.

also, SCS can modify the game in however way they want, in engine videos are a thing, it is easy to direct AI in a defined line and just add paintjobs on it

@TheTiger judging by how the truck looks like and the wheels on it,i can say it's an AI truck.It even has the old tires.

This is what I think. If we set up our our small servers, how can SCS be at fault on Steam. You can't blame SCS if you get kicked off private servers for stupidity. Even I'd play then.

Look at the city back drop on pic 11. That's nice. I like that.

The town is Las Cabezas de San Juan, in Sevilla province.

Hmmm... in some of those images is there a better HDR or is a illusion in my mind?

That's the plastic sea in El Ejido (Almería), a GIANORMOUS area of greenhouses surrounded by desert that can be seen from space. Nice place though, in less than 1 hour by car you can find snow every winter (Spanish Sierra Nevada).

C'mon there has to be something... look at these details.

New company called "La Huerta del Mar Menor", devoted to agriculture.

Ohh nice. Those mountains should look pretty sweet in the game. Looks like the road is all along the coast. So mountains on one side and the coast on the other. Should be a nice drive.

SCS: We're excited to present our latest surprise to you that shall be joined into ETS2 later: India! Thousands of miles, stunningly different landscapes, huge metropoles, new industries, jungles, deserts, mountains! You will need months to check all of this out! And best of all, it's free!

Blog-Community: Whattabout Pakistan? Finish Germany first! Lokeshvar-Bhatlaphadaprada needs to be included! My Granny lives there!
How dare you not include Tibet and China?..... When will you finally include Tatra, damn it?

Guys, it makes you soooo tired....

Should be a nice drive.

IRL it's a weird drive. Because the whole area is enormous (for European measures, I know in the States you are used to big terrain extensions) and you only see white plastic greenhouse one after another and another... Seems unreal, really, gives a strange feeling about something isn't right.

it's named the SEA of plastic for a good reason. Consider that data: there is so much white surface in there that the increased albedo (the amount of sun light reflected back to the sky) makes the whole area average temperatures always 2 to 3 degrees under the surroundings.

If the launcher was for coaches, why would they start ATS, which there has been no demand for coaches with it instead of going where coaches have a demand with ets2.

This is for something else be it multi-player or a new version of wotr.

1. So the launcher would be the same as ETS2's, for consistency.
2. Because the exact moment coaches are added to ETS2, they will suddenly be the biggest demand for ATS out of "fairness", just like every other time something gets added to only one game. Might as well prepare for that now.
