SCS General Nonsense Thread

Didn't Pavel say during the Christmas stream that coaches has like 300k wishlists?

Yes, so that means the items in the top 100 have more than 300k wish lists.

I see. Ok, thanks.

I see VR as the only difference between “that” and mobile truck games. Simplistic, boring map, no gameplay depth, low development effort, etc. It’s the same cash grab, of which the low user rating gives another idea.

Here comes another ATS "killer" - Truck Simulator 2026: USA. It'll be released in Early Access on Steam during 2026.
But judging by the video trailer, the game currently looks more like a lazy pile of slop.

But you can get out and go to a shop to buy some coffee and add oil to the engine! It will crush SCS!

Wait no
It will! Because this comes out on PS4 and ATS doesn't

I must've not changed the driver position in a long while cuz I don't remember the UI to look like that lol.

And the email UI change.. it certainly would be nice to have something done with that feature. You get 5 emails near the start of the game, one reminder whenever new map is purchased if you have Special Transport, and emails from your drivers if you by any chance forget to assign a truck to them. And that's it. It lies unused for the 95% of the gameplay time after first few hours.

Removing the currently learned driver skill from driver menu was a mistake. It still pains me that Scandinavian mountains weren't touched during the refresh, it's one eyesore looming over otherwise excellent work (carefully not shown in the summary video, I wonder why)

And I would like to hear the music from that video, and many others, in the game. It's really good, and the two or three tunes in each game, unchanged for so many years, kinda got old to the point where I pretty much turned all the menu music off.

I noticed a while back that SCS Software's YouTube channel started uploading the blog videos/shorts every time a Dev Blogs comes.

Huge kudos and thank you to whoever is behind that. (Yes I know it's uploaded to FaceBook and Twitter too but YouTube is just more convenient, at least in my opinion)

[parasaurolophus67]

Yeah but the short YT videos have small screens for phones. Not PCs. So I mostly watch them in Facebook for bigger picture.
