ETS2 gets new Iveco truck

December 12, 2024

A couple of days after the release of the Greece map expansion DLC it is time for another release for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

This time it is a totally free gift to all ETS2 players in the form of a new IVECO S-Way truck.

Shiny new truck in shiny new landscape.

The new S-Way comes with three engine options: 460 HP, 500 HP, and 580 HP, and while it right now only has the 4×2 chassis option, a 6×2 chassis option has been promised in a future update. The S-Way also joins the earlier released DAF and MAN trucks in the club with advanced camera mirrors option.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 released, but not without problems

November 21, 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was released November 19, but sadly not without certain teething problems. The ones trying to get started with the game on day one found themselves in permanent queues due to overloaded streaming servers. And since the game is entirely dependent on cloud storage and streaming, only using the player’s computer or consol as a thin client, this meant the game becoming more or less unresponsive.

The game itself, once up and running, do look promising utilizing the same real world map data technique as its predecessor MSFS 2020, now combined with more of a career mode.

October 23, 2024

A new game in the “construct railroads” genre got released October 21 in early access and it looks promising.

Space Engineers: Contact on October 14

Space Engineers: Contact on October 14

October 12, 2024

The newest DLC and accompanying update to the space construction game Space Engineers has now got October 14 as its launch date.

As the name suggests, this DLC’s focus is on making space a bit more populated. This means there are new Global Encounters as well as Planetary Encounters to expect. Also a whole brand new faction in the form of The Factorum. Makers of a competely new technology.

This new tech consists of a number of new types of blocks such as Prototech Components, Prototech Assembler and a Prototech Refinery, to only name a few. And what’s really new with all this Prototech stuff is that it’s obtainable only from encounters.

As usual, parts of the new content will be added as a free update while the new blocks will be for DLC owners only to build. As per the usual Keen Software policy there will be no need for all the participants in a multiplayer game to own the DLC, only the host.

New Mack truck added in ATS

New Mack truck added in ATS

September 14, 2024

Right in time for their launch of the Arkansas DLC, SCS Software has added yet another truck to the American Truck Simulator stable.

This time it is the Mack Pinnacle which will join the line-up of Mack Anthem trucks ingame and is a free addition to the game. It will show up as soon as the 1.51 version of the game is installed.

The Mack Pinnacle will be available in all the classic three cabin variants (Day Cab, 48-inch Flat Top Sleeper and 70-inch StandUp Sleeper), several chassis and length options (6×2, 6×2 Liftable Pusher and 6×4), and with three engine options ranging from 415hp to 505hp.

Introduced in 2006, the Pinnacle is the successor of the Mack Vision. Currently, the product line is sold in the United States and Canada even if a similar version also is marketed in parts of South America.

In addition to the Mack Pinnacle, the 1.51 patch of the game will also add the  Limited Edition Mack Black Anthem®, which sports a blacked-out exterior trim package and other additional interior features. In the real world only 500 of this version was made, so it will definitely be easier to get your hands on it ingame where it will be available at all Mack salespoints.
