American Truck Simulator

Here's something for those who are not sure if they want ATS or not: SCS released a demo on steam. Technically the same as the full game, the demo is limited to California and in the number of available jobs. If the demo pulls you in to buy ATS, you can use the demo savegame to continue in the full game. :)

Look for the Download Demo button on the right of the steam store ATS page.

Prices start at just under 120.000 for the cheapest version. Here too, several chassis lengths, cab designs and MANY exterior equipment can be chosen, plus it comes with some neat paintjobs for both modern as classic looks (picture above shows my personalized Vintage Red livery).

In addition, SCS introduced some game tweaks. The game has been optimized for smoother recognition of players applying "turn-on-red" (turn right despite your light is red, unless prohibited by sign) and the speeding tickets have been tied to your skill level. The fines used to be $1.000 dollars but will now be quite a lot less for the rookie players. The police will also go easier on you when you're already trying the best you can to slow down after a speed limit change (they used to give you no time to adapt at all).

And to finish it off, but not in this update, SCS is tweaking AI and the many speedlimit zones on the map, also tied in with several map tweaks. They won't release those earlier than the first major update, perhaps the one including the free Arizona DLC.
