SCS General Nonsense Thread

Getting Mercedes would be great. It's a massive project anyway, but they could release one half of it. ProCabin can wait. Unfortunately things seem to be too slow there they have to show the same image in two Christmas streams. Not looking good on SCS' part either.

Which brings to my next point- SCS needs to work on how they communicate. Sometimes they exclude necessary context which led to some drama that could have been avoided- like with the Volvo 100 year edition, which was specifically written and showcased for the Aero cabs much to the disappointment of a few here. It's completely fine to not communicate but when you choose to do, please do it right and no gatekeeping please (unless it's a surprise obv)

If the Christmas streams serve as a progress update for previously showcased projects, that's also fine. But sharing the same photo in two years, that's not cool.

I hope no new trucks for at least a year.
I like to see the forum burn and cry.

Burn + Cry = Steam

If you want burn and cry, Steam is already there.

You can't blame SCS, but blame the Licensing companies, they are the ones holding back releases.

I don't know what's going on behind the scenes with the manufacturers and scs, but it feels strange to hear that "we can't have dirt on the truck'" and that "we can't release it yet" due to licensing issues, when games like SnowRunner have dirt on official trucks and a recently released Mercedes dlc. I don't mind waiting for that stuff, since we've always had it for free. But it would be lovely to receive the occasional update about what's going on.

^That might hurt more then it already is. (maybe Pavel might say something about it in the Christmas Stream.)

Now 3 new trucks will be released IRL and I hope they'll be released in game too.

New Scania
New MAN
Renault T high 2027

The Renault T High MY27 isn't just the new DE13 R engine? But I don't recall a major facelift.

Lack of dirt in trucks is not because of licenses limtations, it is/was from Game Engine limitations.

It was explained a long time ago in a Christmas Stream (in the times that we had 1 for ETS2 and another for ATS). IIRC, they tried to implement it back then but it felt so unrealistic and cheap that they decided to leave it aside for some time until the game engine was updated.

All of them? Mercedes I understand, but all of them?

Thank you, I didn't know that.
