[Drive Safely]

@Filipkooo - Awesome to hear there's much planned for the sounds now, particularly for reefer trailers and ambient sounds. This is a positive step forward for the game to make it more alive.

It's a favorite update from me so far - thank you for your work!

So, I think I've only done one open beta before and that was with the introduction of FMod. Always just wanted to keep on trucking (pun intended) till everything was stable and public release. However, when I read about the implementation of the driveshaft torque I had to jump in and try it out. I absolutely love this feature and it's something that I hoped would come to the game! It adds so much more realism and makes driving that much more enjoyable. I feel like it was really well done! Kudos SCS for bringing that feature.

Maybe because Texas is large and Idaho can fit inside Texas?

Nice new paint shop. Same goes with the fire brigade. Even if it's kind of non-realistic. Form my experience there are local and nation wide companies but not such thing as state specific ambulances. But could be I'm wrong.

I just want someone to explain to me the Company Browser option? I have lots of my own trailers so can basically haul whatever if I choose but I feel like I'm missing something here with the Company Browser?
I'd appreciate someone explaining me how it is done

The goal of the company browser is to show you the potential cargoes that companies can offer. This means ms that you can see if there is a company that might offer a job for a particular trailer type, so you don't look for a cargo that is impossible to get. It does not(!) mean that the cargo is currently on offer.

I seriously thought most people just go to Job-marked, city you are in, search for the best cargo available for your preference and begin Haulin, I "by personal preference" cant se the purpose of the company browser as long as it is not connected to the gameplay in anyway. I would like a Take Load Button if load is available in the company browser.

That is pretty much how I choose most of my jobs now. Finish a job and check the city I ended up in for the next job elsewhere

You still haven't actually explained to HOW to use it. I mean I do see under job filters "Recipient" but then maybe that was always there. I don't need to know it's purpose I need to know how to actually "browse companies".

It's more like an extra source of information, maybe not everyone will find it very useful.

I could see it being very useful though when there's a WoT event going on that requires players to haul a specific cargo, like the Idaho potatoes event. The company browser allows you to quickly filter for potatoes and shows you which companies provide them (and in case you want to use your own trailer, which trailer can be used for potatoes). That way people aren't spending time jumping from city to city, looking for a potato job that the city in question maybe doesn't provide.

In the main menu -> vehicle browser -> company browser

Then you can select a city, a company, a cargo or a trailer to filter. Only whatever is available will remain on the screen. Any green icon means the cargo is only provided/the company or city only provides said cargo, and any red icon means the cargo is only accepted/the company or city only accepts said cargo.
