ATS 1.48 speculation thread

[BeastyBill88]

@parasaurolophus67 I know, I know it would be nice to see though as it works nicely with the new VNL, maybe by the time all the states are complete we'll get the older trucks updated.

@BeastyBill88 Trust me It would be nice to see it all with it at the same time. But it'll take awhile for all of them to get it. So I wouldn't really worry about all states be done before doing the older trucks. Don't forget The W900 was recently reworked so it be possible for not have to wait that long. Plus Map makers and vehicle makers are separate so it won't interfere eachother.

@parasaurolophus67 Oh yeah good points, well I guess we'll have to wait and see what SCS decide to do.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get 1-2 additional trucks to get upgraded to have suspension like the VNL. I'd put eggs in the basket for the W900, the 5700 and the 57x to be next in line. When is the question.

[JoeAlex23]

The 57X is not an easy one because the hood is part of the cab, i would say the W900, 5700 and the 3 Internationals (LS, LT and 9900i) are most likely to get it for 1.48, although, with the Power Hood addon for the 49X it could also get it since i'm sure they are putting the work to separate the hood from the cab.

I think 49X might be that truck TruckerDoge mentioned as the one in testing. It will be an interesting one because IIRC, the grill in separate from the hood and is stationary.

it isnt this much work how many people believe it is, you just copy the locators for hood/hood mirrors etc, from cab to chassis and make the hood an separate accessory, this has do be done only once and the other ones can be just deleted, this should be even easier on the first trucks because the cabs and chassis are in one file

it took me no more then 30 minutes for the Anthem and no more then 10 for the LT where the hood already is an accessory, only problem may be trucks where "hood" is already used as an accessory like on the Anthem for the Bulldog

Does anyone have a list of new things that are believed to be coming with 1.48? I haven't been following the blogs

[parasaurolophus67]

Nothing much. Mostly like Oklahoma is for 1.48. I don't know phase 3 for California. 50/50. That's all I know so far.

[rbsanford]

Unfortunately, I doubt Phase III will come with 1.48. I'm sure the update's OB can't be that far off, and there's been very little word about California.

Texas+/Texas 2.0 should come with the Oklahoma compatibility update (logically), so it's speculated that it'll come with 1.48, assuming that's the OK update (which would make sense; it's DLC season, and there are only five planned blog posts left, not counting the inevitable release date announcement and release blogs).
