SCS General Discussion Thread

What I find interesting about this billboard stuff is that before all this happened,I mean the blog post about it,there were only few comments about it and they were all positive I think at least,so before that blog post no one was complaining about it,but the moment that blog post went live......

ofc, because now they have more to complain about, before that they didnt even read the changelog or even acknowledged if some people wrote about it, i saw the KW900 100th imagers and even posted about it, others pointed out about the Texas billboards

They are stored in My Documents\American Truck Simulator\online\billboards_cache and loaded randomly in game.
I have 14 pictures there. https://imgur.com/a/iln1AqA

Can you add any image there? Or replace one with own? hmm... need to check that

[xXCARL1992Xx]

replace them, i dont know if you can add because they are only cached for faster loading

Yes, because it was barely noticeable, and the people who did notice it were trying to figure out if it was a mod or not. The blog post made it into a big deal.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

no it didnt, and nobody tried figuring it out if it was a mod or not, why should a modder add Texas ads and the Kenworth W900 100th Anniversary Edition Billboard as a mod to the game?

I have this folder, but it's empty and the boards display the images I mentioned before.

Again, I'm talking about it, not complaining or being bothered. See you tomorrow.

If you read the comments on Steam you'll see that a good portion actually thought it was because of mods... Not everyone spends all day playing Euro Truck / American Truck to know these details and honestly I didn't even know what Schneider National was, not everybody lives in USA and drives a truck to know it and most people just want to drive from point A to point B.

A great example is the amount of people asking for an option to disable ads... 99% of the problems SCS creates could be solved with a decently written post.

Now I understand why Steam threads are much more active than here, if you say something that makes the die-hard SCS fan even slightly uncomfortable, you are committing a war crime

Yeah right, like the Steam discussions aren't the literal definition of a war zone...

Forum = SCS die-hard fan that agrees with everything they do
Steam = Average player that have no filter
SCS Blog = MAN TGX WHEN? ETS2 DEAD?
