Sometimes you miss the most obvious...

[JUseeTV]

I hope nobody dares to suggest the New R and the S will arrive in december because this would be kinda... sad.

Well SCS did say it takes about 12 months of man hours. Even with multiple people working on it it could still be 12 months. So yeah, it's genuinely possible

Just when you think it would be IVECO as italian manufacturer

[Tarso]

I would not be surprised for a DAF factory place in Italy, no need to be in the homeland to have a factory, all the brands should have at least one factory and a truck carrier cargo

Still sad because the last truck for ETS2 was launched two years and a half ago. Before the New Actros, DAF Euro 6 and Volvo FH 2012 arrived one each year.

The new refresh for XF 105 and Euro 6 is nice, but they're still old assets with low-res bitmap dashboards. Sadly, the only trucks good enough for a modern game are Pete 389 and MB New Actros. DAFs and W900 come in a second as "good enough", the others are god awful ancient models. I was annoyed when they launched ATS because T680 was clearly a model made a few years ago (really, a 256x256px computer background?) and the 579 was barely better. ETS2 is more annoying, the everyone's lovely gal, Scania R/Streamline, sports a 512x512px full dasboard image and a dasboard computer who have nothing to do with the real one, and Renaults, Ivecos and DAF are plain prehistoric.

Sorry for the rant, I'm pretty far for a spoiled crybaby, but sometimes those delays get on my nerves.

DAF has four factories.

Eindhoven, Netherlands (Engines, componants & complete build of CF & XFs) Westerlo, Belgium (axles and cabins), Thame, Oxfordshire, UK (LF and all RHD CF & XF) and Ponta Grossa, Brazil (I think this is just an assembly plant but not 100% sure)
