It’s been about 6 weeks since I last updated the blog.
However the time has come for the next updated of the custom owned trailer which brings with it both the double deck and G&A trailers as well as some 1.41 related changes.
The NHS Charity event is now over and we were able to raise just over £45 big thanks to everyone who donated.
I’m also doing a charity event for the NHS. For those of you who were around in 2014 for my Children in Need event it will be done exactly the same way.
I will be adding a trailer skin to my IJ’s Custom Trailer mod (see below)
As always with the new map release I have put together some van skins of the new SCS companies in the DLC area.
For those of you who happen to be on my Steam Friends list they are already available to you. For anyone else they will be available once the DLC officially releases.
Continue reading SCS Painted Vans – IberiaThe PSG and F1 combo packs have finally been updated for 1.40.
The PSG pack also contains some new skins for Iberia and Balkans for both trucks and trailers. Obviously the AI combos for Iberia will not work until the DLC is out.
The majority of mods are updated now and available for 1.40.
Please note the PSG mod and the F1 mod are not updated yet as these will require the mod amount of work. With any luck they will be ready next week.
See below for a list of changes. Everything listed has changes for 1.40 unless specifically stated other wise.
Continue reading 1.40 UpdatesOver the past few days I have been pushing out all my ATS/ETS2 updates on the workshop for 1.40.
Hopefully I haven’t missed anything, if I have do let me know. I won’t list the changes here as they are always listed on the workshop, some packs got new stuff, others just got 1.40 related changes and fixes.
As far as the mods available here go, I don’t plan to start releasing those updates until OB officially ends. That said I already have 25 ready to go and 10 is a WIP state.
For those not on my Patreon I just wanted to let you know what my mod update plans will be for 1.40.
First up expect no updates through Open Beta.
1.40 is probably the biggest change to effect mods in the history of SCS games. While most mods will appear to function with no log errors, the fact is even the simplest of materials/textures not updated to new versions can affect the whole game world lighting.
Continue reading 1.40 Update PlansSo outside of my other obligations I have been doing a bit of tinkering and planning.
Since 1.40 will bring new lighting I have decided now is a good a time as any to look into updating my flares in the ATS/ETS2 Truck accessories as well as the Custom Trailer mod.
The first change will be folder locations. Rather than have separate ones for the two ETS2 mods, they are going to use the same folder. This means any general additions I make for the trucks, can be thrown into the trailer one without any effort. The only differences will be the text files and file names.
Continue reading Productive daysThe ATS AI vans mod got an update to include Vitas Power and NAMIQ to Colorado and New Mexico.
This will likely be the final blog post of the year, so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
