That is awesome, they really got into working in customization.

[CLR-GTR]

Even more customization:

Ace! :D

We still haven't managed to conclude licensing negotiations with some of the truck brand owners, but we are going to renew our effort again next week. We are now preparing materials to show to the truck companies - arguments to support the notion that they can only win extra PR points if they are officially present in Euro Truck Simulator 2. One of the brands that we still haven't secured is Volvo Trucks, keep your fingers crossed!

 

This is strictly work-in-progress presentation of an unfinished game. The all-new physics in ETS2 is still not finalized and in fact at the moment quite broken, so don't judge the truck driving behavior just yet - we still have a lot of work to do ahead of us to wrap up the work on the game.

Can't wait for it. I'm totally supporting them as they are from my country (but I'm not proud of being czech). I hope they will add new Actros :nuts:

Pretty nice eh? :) Can't wait for the release!

[Sponge]

Looks fantastic!

 

A Polish forum have estimated a release date of:

 

23 March 2012

[Mielie_NL]

Yes...but I don't think that'll be the exact date.

Until year hear it from us, any published release dates are purely speculation coming from sales departments of our distribution partners. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, the game is not far from completion, but we are dedicated to quality, not to particular release date.

Nearly thought I was looking at Ibiza until I saw the truck cockpit :)

If we only could import this map into TDU1 with all of it's features...That'd be brilliant. Cruising through the Alps towards the channel tunnel.:thumbsup: With a stop at the Nordschleife (imported from GTR Evo) Now thát would be a Gumball cruise:lol:

[CLR-GTR]

Glad you posted the update, I wanted to do that too but it took me too long and it was late xD

 

The shots are fantastic, SCS is doing a great job and I like their attitude and approach to development.

[The Compensator]

Sick. I can't wait.

[ScoobSTi]

This is turning out better than TDU2! If only we could drive more than trucks.

That'd be amazing! :nods:

[The Compensator]

Yeah, it would be the Game of the 21st century.

I love precision in small details. Great idea!

Today we have something different to show you... a short "making of" kind of video created by our friends from Silent Noise, who are helping us record a new database of truck sounds.

 

Some two weeks ago, we were recording Scania sounds. The R-series tractor and the trailer were kindly lent to us by Scania Czech Republic.

 

We have found a suitable place away from the civilization and background noise at the Tlustice airport. We spent most of the day there goofing with the tractor, also making tests and observations useful for our vehicle physics development. We actually continued late into the early morning hours - waiting until a nearby highway was mostly empty, so that we could record proper sounds while repeatedly going uphill and downhill on a steep incline near Lodenice.

 

We recorded a wide palette of sounds that day, way more than we can possibly use for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Hopefully with your kind support, we will find a way to use all those sounds in SCS Software's future truck sims.

 

[Sponge]

That's fantastic and very interesting!

[Baldy]

I'm looking forward to this, love ETS and UKTS

[Incognito]

Can`t wait to see it when it`s going to be finished!

[CLR-GTR]

A little feature which was completed just this last week is support for country-specific license plates. Combined with generating the mix of AI vehicles in traffic with probabilities characteristic for various countries, it definitely improves the feeling of locality in the game. See if you can guess in which countries these screenshots were made... ;-)

Are those cars drivable? This would be a great truck driving game if I didn't have to drive any trucks :lol:

[The Compensator]

Noo, Fabia :fp:

They're not. You'll have to rely on mods for that.
