Western Star Trucks Discussion Thread

I'm just ready for the 5700 to be in traffic. That and the new VNL will finish off the current most common trucks on North American roads. Everything else would be a bonus. The old Cascadia is a different story but as far as what is in game now and what we know for sure is coming, the VNL and 5700 in traffic would polish up the game. Then its about the rebuilds and the NG Paccar trucks.

I will say that I am really happy for the level of cooperation Western Star has had with SCS and their fans. Kudos for the working relationship.

A.I. traffic needs a huge adjustment. New trucks should be the priority as you've said. But also customized trucks should be also needed in A.I.

That custom parts are not like the fully tuned trucks but chrome grille Anthem, plastic number Cascadia with 72 inch sleeper, hood mirrors etc are needed to the A.I.

It looks manufacturers have done their part. Let's see what SCS does.

This statement of mine is not blaming SCS but the folks who blame the manufacturers for not co-operating with SCS and causeing the lack of truck content in ATS-ETS.

That's nonsense tbh. Lacking of vehicle department members was the reason and people thought it's about manufacturers.

^Exactly. SCS can only do so much with so little. But now the vehicle has really good numbers per Jarda's interview stream several weeks ago. I look forward to many vehicle team projects.

When 8x4s finally came, it was SiSl that says SCS controls that. SCS has more control over things that many may think. Manufacturer's are more concerned with appearance and damage. Specs are all on SCS. If the truck is made with x,y,z, that's on SCS on what they want to do.

Is this the new Western Star coming to ATS? Which Western Star X-series truck is coming? https://blog.scssoft.com/2023/06/time-t ... -haul.html

I'm trying to understand what this post would be about.

The NeXT Westren Star Trucks 48X

Apparently it's something that will link to the Special Transport DLC, because they say: "you might want to brace yourselves for an elevated heavy hauling experience that'll take your trucking adventures to uncharted territories."

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