ATS 1.39 Discussion

[Wacky Geek]

I'm pleased! Haven't tested much yet, but so far I'm pleased
And very awesome that they were able to add new viewpoints already to this update!
Great job, Team ATS!

Anybody tested the flatbeds?
Are you cargo limited by axle?

[IvanKuz]

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that there are no new additions or improvements to the map (aside from viewpoints being added to more states) so far. Usually ATS updates boast a lengthy list of map changes - new roads, truck stops, revamped cities, etc., but I guess all efforts were concentrated on Colorado this time. Perhaps 1.39 will be the one time when ETS2 gets more new map stuff than ATS for a change, because at the very least we know we're getting improvements to Calais over there

Yes. The trailers are single, double (actually with a jeep) and triple (with jeep and spreader). I noticed for the last one, the transformer and the lift truck are available only on the 9 axle. Probably they are not the only examples. From single to double (with a jeep) I noticed the availability of three new types of cargo.

There is a major problem with Lowboy. We need to be able to carry all the loads in a triple, 6 axle trailer. But the heaviest we can carry asphalt scraper. It would also be great if we could convert the trailer we bought as a triple with F7 as double and single. (This is an important feature) Please do this. Loads are generally divided into triple, double and single. Also, I think ST loads are not supported at the moment.

@pigbrother this is obviously very wrong.

On the new lowboy trailers, is anyone else's rear stinger getting out of balance when driving at highway speed? Mine shimmies back and forth when I get around 55 MPH.

[Knightrider]

the lowboys trailers are quite the looker! impressed.

[Sametbey2]

There are also new lowboy cargoes. There are also wind turbine parts as in ETS2.

I also hoping that Los Angeles will get a reskin.

Converting a trailer to a different axle configuration that isn't part of the setup isn't realistic though. The only thing we should be able to do is flip the rear axle if flippable and to extend the well to accommodate the load. Imho, we shouldn't be able to add a booster/spreader out of thin air. We shouldn't be able to convert to a dolly if we didn't set it up with a dolly. What ever configuration we buy, we shouldn't be able to swap to a different setup with a different axle configuration.

You would think that the biggest setup allows all cargo at the least, but then you are overkill for some cargoes. But this is the only realistic approach I can see. I think we have to own several lowboys to get all the cargoes.

Los Angeles needs a lot more than a reskin. It needs a revamp at the least and that will take time. They should spend a lot more time on LA than a simple reskin.
