ETS2 1.41 Speculation Thread

[CarbonGTGaming]

Totally agree can’t wait to see more upcoming 1.41 features

In my opinion, we are not close to 1.41 open beta.

This is the first announcement, but I think more will come. I think Lyon revamp with Renault Trucks factory also, and it will be announced once the contest is done, share the winner and the announcement of the Renault Trucks Tuning pack. There you can put something related to the revamp of Lyon, to allow the factory of RT and also, a new cargo -the T Evo-.

I hope that this reworked photo mode won't be the main feature of 1.41.

a rework of the photo mode is ok, but this " i make the world like i want it" feature is childish.
Takes away the immersion to deal with the conditions as they are.

I would like to have feature like realistic shutter speed and aperture control, focal distance/lenght etc.

Max some months ago had talked about New Lighting System improvements, such as the issue of tunnels, which was a complaint. We don't know if we will have other improvements. I would like to see a lot for example, the moon back, but now working correctly.

How is that childish? It's a photo feature in any modern game, what does a photo have to do with immersion?

nothing, in Forza Horizon you can even reset your damage and it WILL carry over into the game world, this is more immersion breaking then changing the weather for a screenshot in photomod only

It would probably be not the only one, but don't expect so many big features. Big changes require long time to be done and they are still polishing something like 1.40 that required so many work as to delay 4 months Iberia. Expect 1.41 to be a transitional update like so many others. Fixes, getting the game ready for ATS DLC and maybe one owned trailer.

Any big feature (AA for graphics, the multiplayer mode or whatever other things yyou could imagine now) will probably have to wat to 1.42 the sooner.

because it takes away "the moment how it is you have to deal with".
Immersion is being in the "game/sim" and dealing with the moment as it is.
with the option to make the look, weather and daytime as you want it is no more a "photo" tool, it is just a "paint/make look how you like it".
and, yes, in the end its the same shit as a rollback option in forza or other arcade game.

As much as i ETS2 like, the "etikette" truck simulation is more and more a "joke".
Despite reworking the sim aspects of the game like economy/driver system, truck physics, accurate truck/trailer models (fith wheel for example) etc. we get such features like the photo tool.
Come on, the long time joy and fun to be in a sim is the best possible realism, not "cheap" arcade features for the eyes.

It is technically a new feature. Does it deserve its own blog post though? Or was it a slow news day?
Is it worthy wasting coders' time on this? Not lighting fixes (tunnels, insufferable stroboscopic glares on dashboards, shadows in bad weather, etc. etc.)? Not braindead suicidal AI revamp? Not economy improvements (including proper handling of income ratio)? Not company management aspect of both games? Not BDF? Not multipoint deliveries? Not a miriad of other meaningful features? No. The photo mode rework is the most urgently needed improvement. /sarcasm
