Advanced Trailer Coupling
The upcoming open betas for the new game updates of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator are coming with a new feature: advanced trailer coupling. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and a video can show even more, so let's take a look at it first:

https://youtu.be/WBPS1kzOOsE





The new trailer coupling feature is optional - you need to enable it in the game's options to adjust the game's default trailer coupling behavior. Make sure to consider your precise reversing skills before doing so!

The standard trailer coupling allowed for quite some room in the relative positions of the kingpin and the fifth-wheel. You could also "cheat" it by approaching the trailer from an angle. The new trailer coupling option uses full physical collision simulation for the kingpin and fifth-wheel - you will be faced with the same challenge as a real truck driver. Expecting this precision from a newbie player may be too intimidating, so we are keeping the standard simple coupling as a default, but we know that a lot of our experienced truck sim players are asking for more realism, and we hope that you will appreciate that we are improving the game in this regard step by step.

In addition to the kingpin/fifth-wheel simulation, we have also added an additional visual treat to several trailers in the game, with an animation of raising the trailer landing gear.

(If you have really sharp eyes, you may notice something in the video which is also a teaser for a whole bunch of new tuning content coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 soon)

Not bad at all , but i really hope this will bring some challenge while picking up the trailer , but SCS forgot one detail as they are speaking about realism , there is no cables connecting the trailer and the truck....

PS : I notice the bar in the Scania truck between front and back wheels and also mud flaps as tuning accessories , did anyone notice more of it?

Still looks easy, I have never used auto-parking except once (achievement...) even in the beginning. I have no idea who can be that bad in driving to use it in a game where it's one of the most important things. This update should bring some little new challenge for those who play it since 2012

I use autoparking simply because I'm lazy. But this one's a nice addition.

Euro 2016 is coming

In short - national flags for your truck. DLC costs 0,99€ BUT it's free when you complete 3 World of Trucks deliveries at least 200km each

That moment when you buy the dlc and then realise you can get it for free

XDDDD Read blog more carefully

I had to buy this DLC because ETS2 was complaining about an internal error when I took a World of Trucks job.

But after all, this is a must-hsve DLC, and finally SCS has made something unique, so a big thank you for them

I made a backup of my main profile, then updated the game to 1.24 and disabled all mods. So I did 3 deliveries in vanilla game with speed limiter enabled (not fun at all...) and now that nightmare is over and I'm waiting for my free key
