TIMELESS

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'... SCS have released their latest updates for both American Truck Simulator and 2012's Euro Truck Simulator 2! Responding to the feedback from players, SCS has introduced support for Steam Workshop which allows for players to download and install mods, all from one place without worrying about safety or breaking the games. This also gives players a community to offer feedback and easily stay up to date with the latest mods. Mod creators will be happy to see that SCS have also included a dedicated tool to aid them in modding, the SCS Workshop Uploader. To find out how to install mods with the Steam Workshop SCS have kindly created a . And for those who are interested in learning more about modding SCS games they have also created a modding wiki. SCS are awfully nice to us fans, huh? The latest update comes with yet another new feature - the "Ultimate Wheel Customization". Previously the wheels in the game were just one model, so to change your rims, you changed your entire wheel, which as SCS say themselves, wasn't ideal. We were never quite happy with the existing system, it was too limiting. Customizing wheels should be more varied, more flexible, more fun! SCS Software Blog Now SCS has created multi-component wheels. They already recently created separate tyres and discs, but now you also have hubs, hub covers, and nuts (calm down squirrels, not that kind)! These features are now in Euro Truck Simulator 2 as well as American Truck Simulator. And in typical SCS spirit of really polishing their games, they've included a number of bug fixes, improvements and added features. Check out the full change-log below.

POOOWWWAAAH!! Coming to a console near you (assuming you have a Xbox One, Forza 6, and are willing to purchase it) - The Top Gear Car Pack! While the BBC gear up for the highly controversial 23rd season of Top Gear, a seven-car pack chosen by the editors of Top Gear comes to Forza. Also included is a new series of Top Gear Rivals events, your chance to beat your mates and maybe even the Top Gear editors themselves. There will be new Top Gear events each month for the next 3 months so there'll be plenty to do. The first of the new events begins next week and you can purchase the pack right now for 7 of Obama's finest dollars (and I'm guessing about 5 quid for the Brits) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvzKST-O_lw The Cars: 2014 Ferrari FXX K - The K is for KERS. A LaFerrari underneath, but with a race-car style KERS system that boosts the output by 187 horses to deliver over 1,000hp. 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn - This land-boat weighs over 5,000 pounds and is powered by a W12. That's like having 2 V6s. With twin turbos. And it'll do well over 150mph. Terrifying. 2016 Jaguar F-Type Project 7 - It's... an F-Type. But with more of the F-Type goodness. It's lighter, it has more grip, it makes more noise, and best of all it has some ridiculous stickers! (they add horsepower, don't you know?) 2016 Audi R8 V10 plus - Imagine someone decided that an R8 V10 just isn't fast enough. Well that's how you get this creation. 0-60 in under 3 seconds, it'll top out at over 200mph, and it has over 100hp more than a GT3-spec Audi R8. It's madness with subtle German styling. 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat - 'MURICA! Sometimes in life, you need a car that has 4 doors, over 700hp, and RWD. This is that car. This is the 'bacon double-cheeseburger with extra pickles' of cars, it doesn't get anymore American. 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR - It's like a Jaguar F-Type that can go anywhere. 550hp, AWD, and more luxurious than the Queen's ride. You can tackle the Nurburgring then go drive over some mountains. Why not? 1990 Jaguar XJ-S - In reality, it would probably be too broken to ever drive on a track. If you remember Top Gear's challenge from a few years ago, you'll know that's pretty much what happened. But it's a Jag from the days when Jags were Jaaaaaags. It has 12 cylinders and a lazy American automatic. [gallery link=file" ids="4650,4649,4648,4647,4646,4645,4644,4643,4642]
