American Truck Simulator: 1.51 Update Changelog

[@SINAPPI_]

That interior shadow improvements are insane!🔥🔥

[@thomashewitt8104]

I know right! Surprised they buried that so deep into the video, it looks soo good

[@blaze-x9x]

And -20 fps. It's good that the developers are trying to forget about weak PCs and are taking the game to a new level. But our game still consumes one processor core. My i7 13700 has one core loaded at 80-90%, the rest at 5-10. Brilliant.

[@thomashewitt8104]

@@blaze-x9x It’s an optional setting though so hopefully won’t impact performance if turned off. I mainly play on Steam Deck, and often get below 30fps in dense cities, so I may well turn off the interior shadows as well if it does impact performance a lot. Still nice to have the option though ✨

[@DripDripDrip69]

@@blaze-x9x Can't always target potatoes, your high-end graphics card of yesteryear isn't high-end anymore, newer generations of hardware keep coming out, I'm glad they are adding OPTIONAL features to take advantage of them, it's called progress. The next step should be adding headlight shadows.

[@blaze-x9x]

@@thomashewitt8104 Another stupid kid who plays at 30 fps and says that such settings do not affect anything. When you enable this option and get 15 fps instead of 30, let's see what you say to it. I'm not interested in you if you don't understand IT technologies. I’m not interested in your opinion and the fact that you are trying to praise the developers with their game engine from the 2000s. I’m certainly happy for their work, but it’s time to tackle the technical part of the game and at least implement the FSR or Vulcan API. Because dlss is borderline impossible for ETS 2. On my rtx 3080 I got 150fps+ two years ago, and now it’s 90-100fps. In a couple of years, updates will lower my FPS to 50-60? Good!

[@saladd4ys]

Its really nice to see that we got some interior shadow improvements. I've been waiting for this.

[@HikariSakai]

games looking better and better every time, cannot wait to see how the game will look once we reach the east coast

[@Lonnie-Rustyclaw]

I should be fully retired by the time they hit my state, Florida :)

[@tricolore31]

So excited for Ontario Canada DLC in 2029

[@ItaAndyOfficial]

Canada is not the US bud lol @tricolore31

[@wesleyfinniss6718]

​@ItaAndyOfficial Yeah, but it would be awesome to see at least one Canadian province in ATS.

[@HikariSakai]

@@ItaAndyOfficial its called AMERICAN truck simulator, not UNITED STATES truck simulator, they can include the whole continent if they wanted to, of course they'll start with the US though but once that's done they'll probably start adding Canadian Provinces.

[@simonallen2120]

SCS, please keep doing what you do 'AWESOMENESS' !

[@CalebRemastered]

SCS FTW!! loving the realistic lights bending to the truck Cabin 🙂

[@TwistLosi]

Good to see improvements to the core engine.

[@lyricof3003]

I never knew there would be a black Mack anthem truck

[@nedrin]

The interior shadows are nice. Now, add some interior light we can turn on if needed. :)

[@TebbleTV]

I'm juggling lots of games right now but, I would love to get back to trucking, always a comfy time.

[@JustFun598]

Its really great to see interior shadow improvements, though what always bothered me and ruined immersion is the high-beam issue when another player is behind you, if they use high-beam headlights your whole interior gets lightened up completely, which is utterly unrealistic, especially when you have trailer behind you, it should be impossible 😅 Also what I would like to see sometime in the future, the new API (either Vulkan or DX12, they are faster than DX11, but it would also open up new graphics possibilities for the game) and DLSS/FSR to finally be able to squash the aliasing issue while not sacrificing the image clarity.

[@Gaming_Building]

man from 2016 to 2024 scs you have made the game better and better altough i miss the classic ets2 and ats its great to see u make a big chance and make the game better and better

[@JoyKazuhira]

i wish someday if were parked at a truck stop, we can walk around the cabin, go to bed, manually turn on or off night lights, click on bed to sleep. the interior lights really adds a truck camping feeling to me. also i want BUSES and RELEASE VR OUT OF BETA, its been there for years when its already working fine. make it as a launch option on the main game.

[@GazVanDyk]

SCS are smashing it this year 🎉

[@abedekok322]

I'm hoping with dynamic loading/unloading being implemented they will expand that out to lowboys, tankers and eventually vans and reefers as that would add some much needed realism to this series, maybe even opens the future up for movement outside of your truck in game too.

[@JIHYEOGI]

I really like Mack Anthem black edition!!

[@TruckerMo]

That dynamic loading of the load is a game changer

[@NakedButAnonymous]

Supporting macOS, Linux and Windows for low price... SCS is amazing company!

[@Telemachus2814]

It's very good timing that they release the dynamic loading/unloading animations because Harvest season just started. Amazing timing lol.

[@MarcH-gj3ph]

Formidable travail 😍... Merci à toute l'équipe... Continuez 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SoutheastFish]

Would love to see stuff like being able to open trailer doors before hitting dock. Truck/trailer getting dirty and needing to get washed. Tire blow outs with handling affected as necessary affected and road side service

[@JesseEder]

Another cracking update SCS keep up the great work as always. God bless :)

[@douglas50m]

Nice little update 🙂

[@KINGHITEMUP95]

I hope we can get the ability to have pickup trucks in the game; such as Ram, Chevy, or Ford - to do like “hot shot trucking”. It would be cool to own a semi and pickup truck in the game and deliver shipments 😅

[@Sherwin724]

The only game that's actually improving and there is care put into it

[@DerrickPlace-g6i]

That's what's up I like when y'all had the cb talking in the 18 wheels of steel

[@southboundtp2067]

Check KZbin or Google. I'm not at my pc right now but I have a real cb chatter mod I assigned to radio.

[@djclawkyclawkz3397]

This truck simulator came a long way the improvement is insane keep it going we love Americantrucksim💪🏾🔥

[@TartlezGamer]

Amazing...I was longing for this release...Let's meet on the road lol

[@ur_round_next1216]

Looking good but get with the times with better VR support.... Been asking you for a year now!!!

[@allbecomesiron]

💯 I’m grateful that ATS works at all in VR and really enjoy it. I use an old Logitech wheel and pedals with Quest 3 on my PC and the immersion is great. Reversing a trailer with head out the window looking back over left shoulder irl, it’s all so cool. But it’s definitely not optimized for VR and probably could support higher graphics settings with some work. The UI/mechanics would need a revamp I think because hand tracking to operate controls would be awesome. ATS is like a heavy equipment simulator, and that use case is a great fit with VR.

[@damderrick]

My biggest complaint is the changing of key mapping on controller and won't let me change it in game. Now I have to learn it over again. It was really aggrevating playing last night

[@cedrick412]

❤ love it ATS cedrick from South Africa 🎉🎉

[@Dalamain]

My thoughts and prayers to all the suckers out there who buy FIFA/NFL each year for RRP just to see different shirt colors while SCS is the game studio that keeps on giving. Love buying your DLC content, keep it up.

[@danielantonioespinosa3781]

lo de las sombras en el interior no me lo esperaba, graaaaan actualizacion!!!! los amo!

[@a_romon_noodle_8128]

What about a VR fix for stuttering?

[@TristanLammer]

Nice job SCS Software!!! Like always

[@Marcus-DZ]

Amazing, i really live your work & updates SCS Software, i didn't try the new menu but i think the latest one was perfect, i hope you didn't make it worse, when something is good just let it like it is and no need for changes just to change and maybe you'll make it bad not good (i'm only talking about the menu, because everything you do is so cool). ❤

[@Kopasz-M.R.K.]

Nice update! At 2:45 we can see a Kenworth truck.. Is that a mod, or an upcomming version?

[@WayneKerr69420]

Its not a mod. Thats the normal signature edition T680. Hoping it gets all of its parts in a patch of this update

[@Kopasz-M.R.K.]

@@WayneKerr69420 thx... I have checked 2 times.. can"t find a version of T680 2014 (witch is avaible only in game) with a digital dashboard...

@@Kopasz-M.R.K. there is no version of the 2014 T680 with the digital dashboard. Its only available on the next gen T680.

In the ATS game, a graphics bug has been found around the Global Mills building built in Bozeman, Montana. 📣

This is great content added! Well done!

[@Steben_Yui]

NICE!!!! Keep doin what you doing guys!

The best as always ❤🎉

Update: Interior shadows dont do anything in trucks with a dashboard route advisor. when you change black anthem interior to standard, everything works fine. same in peterbilt 389

[@toyotacorollavermelho3portas]

Driving at night is about to get even cooler! :0

[@jbryanlegarcon31]

ATS changed my life ❤️

[@mrregginn]

Great Work SCS Team 👍

[@G4M3R4V3R]

Very good update, tyvm SCS 🥳😍

[@pellenyberg]

SCS. You have to move the load to the trailer so we can switch trucks if we like in are yard. If we pick up the load with a day cab city hopper and want to switch to a longhaul tractor. That whould be nice.

[@josepinilla1340]

Excellent! now I just hope they also integrate the (shadows on the rear view mirrors) that will help me a lot when parking; otherwise great job guys. 🙂👍

[@WolfDarkrose]

as a dude handed down a 90s mack from my grandfather who was a mack fanboy before he died. that mack did everrrrything. short long heavy wide... as long as it was in state that mack did it. remember a eureka to san Diego trip.. was the besttttt just driving the coastl highway in cali from my birth city to basically the border . "get a mack or youll get shat on". my gramps you to say XD

I love this game but SCS support for this game makes me love ATS even more 👍🏽

[@RlyBadMusic361]

Love this game, thanks for the updates!

[@sbmvbetao]

show. I liked the Mack edition black, really cool🎉🎉

[@Mortech89]

Improvement looks dope AF. Bit when are you guys going to fix the screen selection issue where the edit in config files does don't work anymore since 1.50 update. Me and friend stopped playing due to that.

[@djnoiz679]

this update provides more FPS in 1080p at ultra settings, even with updated graphics. The same can't be said for 1440p though.

[@mrhunter7087]

Amazing, thanks SCS

[@erichetherington602]

Hopefully, the next couple of days we will get the Mack Pinnacle.

Why did they change up the button layouts for controller? It's all a mess now

nice work!!please add more old trucks to the game. chears from argentina

[@towstySlim]

Shadows are cool... more pls

[@pakodithuwakku]

Please need a small update on the radio as the next update. We want the last song we listened to to be stopped and saved as it is. Because there are about 1000 songs and when we listen to the 500th song and run the game again, it is a bit difficult to select the 500th song from the beginning. 😢 So consider this a little bit. ❤

[@lucasdisbezer7818]

Essas sombras internas tá muito bom, eu sempre vi detalhes de outros jogos que gostaria de ver em ATS. Um deles era esse, agora seria massa adicionar também as sombras da luz dos faróis e o do próprio caminhão também, não cheguei a ver só abri um pouco agora de meio dia, mas acredito que o caminhão não gera as sombras dos postes ainda, não estou me baseando nos retrovisores porque neles não tem sombra nem da luz do sol.

[@KenMaerran]

I keep saying it but the way SCS maintains their games should be the industry standard for sims. Upgrade the engine for free, offer paid DLCs to keep funding development. I get that one day the maps will be complete for ATS/ETS2 and it might be time to move on but considering how long the games have both being going and how much you can do in each, I think at that point SCS would have earned the right to make whatever they want and move on.

[@SimuVerse-wi6ky]

That's awesome 🤟

[@Glowingtomato]

As a Steam Deck player I'm having a hard time getting my controls back to what they were. I tried exporting my old layout and its not working. I'm dreading this update for ETS2 now
