Yep unfortunately, among the fours for ATS, it appears that Volvo's the least, with Daimler second, Paccars sitting right after and International the most, as it stands right now. It really is a shame for Daimler too as they possess a wide and diverse truck variety along with Paccar. For Paccar's silence all this time, i myself am not sure of what is happening in the background but i will treat it as SCS being too busy with other models up till now, after all this silence and busyness, i won't be surprised if we suddenly get a Paccar truck this year.

Wolfi's post regarding the 5700XE left me a bit 'depressed'.
Best Regards.

It’s too early to tell. They haven’t even announced the successor yet so the truck can come out of nowhere. If anything the 5700XE can be another 9900i instead of another Old Cascadia.

Nobody knows anything besides Pavel and Oscar. Anything based off personal opinion is not a fact. We know nothing and speculate here only. Clues...there are no clues as to SCS’s relationship with their partners. We don’t see this truck or that truck and assume and write it off. We are only 3 years pass when we got something since the first 4 trucks. The ball has to get rolling somewhere and it always takes time to go full stream ahead.

I think the SCS needs to change the approach to negotiations. For some reason, it is much easier for other truck simulators to obtain licenses.
I don't know what's wrong, but it's obvious that there are problems and they drag on for years. They need to change something.

I'm curious how the licensing works. Does SCS pay money to the truck manufacturers for the right to their IP or do the truck manufacturers pay money to SCS for the exposure?

I'm guessing it's the former, but I wonder if a canny negotiator could turn it the other way?

If we talk about passenger cars, then the second is unambiguous, because. this is a mass product that is constantly bought by the population of different countries. Therefore, there are many games on this topic and licensed cars are most often paid there for players. It's always mutually beneficial.

It is more difficult with tracks, because most of them are owned by companies that themselves know what and from whom to buy, and manufacturers do not particularly need this kind of advertising.

Because, as mentioned multiple times before, other Sim games have a huge Publisher behind them, who is able to throw money bags at truck manufacturers to get what they want.
SCS can't do that. They have to negotiate hard with truck manufacturers and this also means, that the number of licenses they can get from certain manufacturers can be limited. If that would be the case with Western Star, then the chance of us seeing the 5700XE is even lower, as it's better for SCS to go after the newest truck.

That's incorrect ;)

In this case, the question arises, maybe it makes sense to become part of a large gaming company, while remaining an autonomous structure?
(I'm not an economist, but I think I stated the idea correctly)

There are many many downsides to becoming part of a larger gaming company and SCS have been clear that they are not interested in doing so.
