ATS 1.45 speculation

[Optional Features]

Some stuff I could see taking up two nodes. Or if it's large- like roof trusses- all node slots (4 or 5 depending how they do it).

Over size- over dimension stuff- at this point if it still fell under the special transport for now.... at least it'd be a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I'd like the nodes to be done based on pallets. So how ever many pallets the trailer can take times 1.5 (the middle row which would half another line). Then people could stagger pallets or just load the trailer full.

Something like a shipping container (40 feet) on a standard 53 foot trailer would have a central cargo node, but the player could choose which slot to put it in. So they could in theory have it hang over the front or back if desired.

Given how rapidly ATS began to develop and partnerships were established between SCS and many manufacturers, who knows what else is hidden in the sleeve. Perhaps one more Trailer pack DLC with Dry Van and Reefer: Wabash, Utility, Great Dane, Manac.

Is there anything left that SCS teased in the Christmas stream that hasn't come out yet? We got the 9900i and the Lode King DLCs already and we aren't even fully 6 months into the year. What's left under development besides the new states?

[parasaurolophus67]

well they teased the new Wyoming road. For ETS2 they teased the MAN truck. thats about it.

More Cascadia parts? Maybe a best community ever bobblehead?

Here we go... This dude is really hurt that the Cascadia is getting a lot of updates

Oh yes. Forgot about that road being in the works. I suspect that the update to Wyoming is gonna be released in the same update as Montana.

And yes @JoeAlex23, that dude chirps the devs like no other, I saw him comment under one of the Lode King posts by SCS on Facebook the same stuff he always rants about. It's honestly embarrassing.

Yeah I agree that US-14 is more than likely part of the 1.45 compatibility update for Montana. In the stream it was actually in the Wyoming folder though so it should be an update to Wyoming, not part of the actual Montana dlc. SCS did say that it was an update to Wyoming on the xmas stream anyways. Now US-89 and US-310 (if we get it), now those go to Montana. Those roads go North and South across the border into Montana from Wyoming. But US-14 never goes into Montana. Imho, it should not be considered or treated as an extension road to Montana.....that is alllllll Wyoming.

I wish there was a teaser for US-2 to WA-20 to link Coleville to Sandpoint and then to Kalispell, MT. If that happens, it would be a long time coming connection.

Wanting more features like an opening tarp is embarrassing? Weird lol.

What is embarrassing is Lode King having fewer features in a game that is specifically about trucks and trucking than a game that is about neither.

With the help of two other games, we now have direct comparisons of licensed products (Lode King, Mack, MAN, Krone trailer, Western Star, and Freightliner) between SCS and other devs. And in all cases, SCS variants offer the least features/interactivity. That means there is room for improvement.

@flight50 I really hope that US-2 gets added with Montana. There is plenty of room on the map for it and it's seriously needed. I was hauling a load of logs from Promods Canada to Sandpoint and rather than taking US-2 or WA-20 directly to Sandpoint I had to go through Spokane and Coeur d'Alene instead. Kind of an annoying route. However, even if it does come with Montana I feel it should be attached to the Idaho DLC as it should have been in the first place. But even if it's not it won't effect me any because I am gonna own all the DLC anyway.

I was thinking about this route the other day and I believe that even if SCS doesn't add this route, Promods will add it as they continue to move East to get that Eastern Washington Connection. So we have hope on 2 fronts for this long needed route
