Next ETS2 truck speculation

[Javito]

sound is meh, but now DAF also has full plastic chassis, kinda strange because the bumper is supposed to be steel, maybe painted ?

How do you have the new DAF in 1.41?

xXCARL1992Xx... Sound as to be expected... More paint and we'll have it perfectly fine. The grille reminds me of the days the FH4 had it plastic/black, you made an effin great looking stripes skin and the grey plastic ruined it completely. SiSL said on Discord no new Tuning pack will come. Either kidding or it won't be out for a good while.

In both cases, its a shame. I can't get used to driving a plain yellow truck without fancy company decals. No, no.. NO way.

And @ everyone asking about the update. It isn't out for the Experimental Beta at least until tomorrow evening. Only for the users of the stable 1.40 release.

Why so little cabin dots? Scania has loads in the cabin.

think it needs the tuning pack to get more stuff in

For the Renault T, it meant that they had to combine the T and T High into one truck (well, they could have split it), so that the names would render as "Renault T Normal" and "Renault T High".

I don't understand what they did to the Renault T; they could've easily split the line into "T" and "T Evolution" then add "Sleeper" and "High Sleeper" to both. It would make a lot more sense to me.

SiSL said to not expect a tuning pack any time soon though. over on the discord

Because the Evolution is literally just a facelift, and by adding the bits as extras to the existing T, all existing paint schemes and accessories and whatever are preserved and will work fine.

@Winchester1979 I know I remember the wait for the 2016 scania to get tuning parts. So this was expected tho. I was telling him Possibly need the tuning pack to have more stuff into the DAF truck.

I got the game pretty much right around the release of 1.31, so pretty much right as the Scania NG was fully completed...

Then again, we're also still waiting on (official) painted parts for the Renault T, and while the MAN TGX E6 has dots for a lot of things, there's only one option for many of those dots.

Anyway, we were told straight up on the Discord that the existing DAF pack is an "XF" tuning pack, not a general DAF or an "XG" pack. So don't expect any addons to the truck to come from that. We are expected to get the new XF later this year, so that's something to look forward to.

Right now, the models do not even have locators for a bull bar or a roof bar, those would have to be added by modders. It's also currently impossible to change the color of the mesh part of the front grille, as that's not an actual modeled object but a texture, and unless someone takes apart the cabin models and starts adding locators, you can't get rid of the silver trim on the forehead of the truck.

All the other trim was done as accessories though, and (shameless self promotion) I've got a mod over in the truck accessories section with painted fenders and grilles, as well as plastic grilles and some other bits and bobs...

Just like the 49X which had a small part of the truck and then we had a mega update adding more things, more stuff for the New DAF will come in the future for sure. For sure more customization parts, the XF version (which is confirmed to come in a later date) and the other chassis (that they have already announced on the Steam page that they will only come to the game when DAF in real life announces them).
