ETS2 1.40 discussion

[MacCekko]

In DLC Iberia I've spotted some BDF Tandem Trailers with "iberian" SCS's logos. Is it some kinda hint of possible outcomes in the future? I am asking to those who know almost everything of what's happening behind the scenes, here, provided they have the liberty to speak freely.
Thanks.

EDIT:
Come to think of it, they probably are the B-Double semitrailers simply not-attached, I guess. It's not so likely SCS is ever going to introduce Tandems, I am afraid... Ok, forget it, sorry.

Yes, they are the B-Double trailers used stand-alone as scenery. It has been done in others DLC also. And yes, those same trailers is "work already done" for the day they introduce rigids. It will happen, some day. Multidrop is mostly what it's missing for those trucks to come and that's another of the long list of feature that programmers have still to do. 1.40 scratched better lighting from the list (even it still last a second part related to lighting; now it can wait)

[MacCekko]

Interesting!
A little note about "rigids" (I assume it means "tandem" more or less. Excuse my lack of knowledge in this field): how will SCS solve the matter of having a graphic on the motor truck and the same graphics on the trailer for every job (assuming the company will change between jobs like it happens currently), I wonder? But again, this is pure speculation at this time, I guess.
Dunno what "multi-drop" is: I imagine that being the possibility of stopping more than one single time to unload the contents of the trailer, but I might well be wrong.
Thank you for your answers.

No, you're right. viewtopic.php?f=137&t=289779

[plykkegaard]

Yes it is just about right
Once you have a tandem on would assume you have your own vehicle or it could be like quick jobs

Or it could be BDF-kind of chassis, that then could have the looks of the company working for on that moment, like happen on non-owned-trailers markets now.

Guys, I just switched to 1.40, and when it rains (I'm in France now, it's really dark outside, almost evening) I can't see headlights for AI cars I have no mods for lights, flares or AI cars, pure vanilla game in this matter. Is it supposed to be like that?

[mackintosh]

Yes.

[plykkegaard]

Yup

[bumbumek]

But this is pure nonsense, guys! In the rain, especially when it's darker outside, we can always see headlights, just like reflections on wet surface.

Geez, even 1.39 had visible headlights during the rain!
