To be fair I was surprised that they included a small part of Italy but yeah, no Pyrenees.

Has Oculus support been dropped recently in ATS?

I re-installed today and it simply crashes to desktop after selecting the profile and save game. I've tried swithing between the normal and the Oculus beta and the launch switch.

Anyone else had this issue? Also the Oculus beta doesn't support the new Peterbilt, boo!

Pretty sure you need to go into the betas tab on steam and enable some special build for it to work. There is one for experimental oculus support so I guess thats it.

So what's the verdict on the rescale as far as mods and everything else goes? I should get my video card back from the EVGA step-up (which took like 6 months to finally become available) this week I'm hoping. I haven't played ATS in a while because I've really wanted the rescale.

"Next week, we will make an anouncement regarding Vive la France! DLC which we believe will make Euro Truck Simulator 2 fans very happy."

My guess is announcing the release date for the DLC and also the price.

What would make fans really drat happy would be 'Free' as the price for it. As ATS is getting their big map rescale, giving ETS2 fans who have been patient the DLC for free for a limited time would make them really happy as well.

Or free if you've hit a certain milestone on hours on Steam, like a couple of recent DLCs have been.

The Oculus support is also kind of terrible. It's not optimized at all so even on a relatively high-end PC I had a choice between turning all the graphics settings down to "muddy garbage" or having a framerate so bad it caused immediate motion sickness. It's a shame because it does feel cool but it needs some serious work.

Is there a non-mod way to make my ETS2 look this good in motion? Because i swear, while it's not ugly, it looks worse than, say, GTA4, but these screenies make it look like it has a modern lighting engine. I crank up everything and it's still not very appealing to look at.

I have but one question: Since the Oculus version is its own branch (selected independently from Beta) does that mean 1.5 doesn't have native Oculus support?

I only have a DK2 but I can only play the Truck Simulator games in VR and I wanna get back into this.

Out of curiosity, do you not have the Scandinavia DLC? At one point, the Scandinavia DLC came with some lighting modifications. I dunno if they ever made it into the main branch or if you need to have Scandinavia for it. Just a long shot.

Where'd you get that screenshot?

I have the Scandinavia DLC. Also, I got the screenshot from the link I quoted. It's from the SCS software blog :v:

Edit: I realize that part of the reason I'm annoyed with the trucker games is that I only have one garage--in my starting town--and I only play often enough that it always ejects me to my starting town because of new updates or whatever. Ugh.

There is no Oculus option in the display menu, but you might be able to get it to work by starting it with additional commands.

Tried a new profile and switched to official config. Had no trouble with input wizard detecting triggers or joystick. Might want to double-check the controller configuration. Steam defaults to the most popular community config if the developer hasn't set an official config. That happened when I first tried SC with ATS; I ended up with a config that outputted only keyboard inputs to the game.

Message me on Steam if you're still having trouble.

I'm guessing you're also using a Steam Link. You can use VirtualHere to setup USB devices that Steam Link doesn't officially support.

You poor soul. Just remember to drive on the left and all the speed limits are in miles per hour and not kilometers per hour. (30mph = 50km/h, 50mph = 80km/h, 60mph = 100km/h)


Being someone who learned to drive in the UK, I find it the complete opposite, when i'm not getting speeding tickets for zones which arbitrarily change from 50mph to 31mph when coming close to a city, or having someone crash into the back of me as the lane's onto duel carriageway's don't lead into a new lane I find it a sweet relief whenever I pull into hull after a jaunt around Europe.. I'd never have though I'd be so relieved arriving in Hull in all my life!

Roundabouts though however terrify me in game as much as they do in real life, they are essentially designed to trigger panic attacks.

Does anyone have any specific Wheel/Brake/Gearstick hardware that they could recommend for this game? I'm currently using a keyboard and i'd like it to be more "immersive".

The Logitech G27 is the 'go-to' for entry-level wheels. Good enough to not suck and let you know if it's for you, but still relatively cheap enough to be able to afford it. The G25 is essentially the same wheel with less face buttons on the wheel and a slightly different shifter that allows sequential.

Wonder if that means the air pressure in ATS no longer always drain instantly without a trailer. I had to turn that off in the options it was so annoying compared to how it worked in ETS2.

Haven't played this in awhile, and I'm really liking the ATS rescale so far.

ATS question: what's the American equivalent of the MAN -- i.e. what truck has the biggest front window for staring at scenery? I'm driving a Kensworth right now and the view seems so drat narrow.

ATS probably won't hit it for you. The game isn't for everyone.

When figuring whether TruckSim is for you you need to ask how into the idea of driving for over an hour just listening to the radio you are. There's a reason some people call it the best Winamp plugin ever made.
