Western Star Trucks Discussion Thread

I kinda wished that next WS would be 4900 but obviously newer trucks are higher in priority

This was my thought as well. We have all the current legitimate WS trucks in the game now.............except the 4900.

It makes sense that with how close of a relationship WS and SCS has, they would update the 49x with the power hood option as soon as possible.
Now, hopefully, we get cab suspension with it and the 4900 can come any time after that. Looking forwards to it.

Power Hood for the 49X? Dam Hoping it wasn't. Kinda wanted the Cascadia to have a shorter hood first tbh. .-.

I would love to see more of the older production trucks added to ATS, including the 4900. We've already got the International 9900i last year, and that was the final production truck in the 9000 series from International in 2017, do want to see more.

Maybe some axle configurations will be added, too.

I found the follwoing:

This new stuff unfortunately isn't for me -yet -, because I don't do heavy haul or special transport in ATS. Mainly because of the awkwardness to add/remove banners and flags to/from the truck. I - still - hope SCS will change thsi to the service menu. Then I will gladly do some heavy haul again!

Dynamic HH flags and long/oversized load banners would be a great QoL feature that seems like a low hanging fruit so hopefully it can get added soon

Any photos around showing a difference in the hoods? I much prefer straight flat hoods to any anteater so I can get in on this update a bit!

The new hood is less curved, it's higher in the front in order to accommodate a larger radiator.

It's been a low hanging fruit for years now. Don't hold your breath.
