@RacingNielsen @24hoursoflemans Same shape, same place, just a different sponsor which is way more appropriate and current. Goodyear's logo hasn't changed much since the 70s (and even 40s), so it has that vintage/retro look that blends in well, imo.

@SCSsoftware I shuffle between Escape, Roadio, and PopGear 👍

@PorscheRaces Goodwood FoS entry?

Also, I've quite enjoyed the new game radio. The lo-fi "Escape" station really fits the way I play the game!
P.S. Here's some extra pics from yesterday.

It's been a while!
Did a bit of virtual trucking this Saturday in 1.60 #ATS, specifically exploring Missouri (visited all of its cities!), as well as customizing my VNL 860 with a brand-new company paintjob - yellow and white to mimic my ETS2 paintjob.

@forza_support What helped for me is switching to “Horizon Solo”, then start matchmaking. Helped for both the Trial and Touge showdown.

@SCSsoftware Planning to return to trucking after being held hostage by Forza for the past month 😭

@FordRacing @PirelliUSA @pirellisport @PPIHC The wing could be bigger…

@burak19070719 You have to keep in mind that while SCS has grown in the past couple of years, they’re simultaneously working on Coaches, Road Trip, and multiple map DLCs for both ATS and ETS2, AND the console version. So mid 2027 is more likely imo.

[Nam @NamTheThing]

@burak19070719 @SCSsoftware It’s definitely a sign that they’re still hard at work on the console version, and that they won’t just do a “lazy port” and actually optimize the game mechanics.
I doubt the 2026 release — with SCS it’s best to assume it’ll come later and better rather than sooner and shoddy.

[Nam @NamTheThing]

I also hope it's not easy to control, so the player (not the game character) has to get good at it to take full advantage of the mechanic.

[Nam @NamTheThing]

@TheAlexVII I think if they only allow you to use the hook during free roam and night racing/police chases, it would be very cool, while still having day time racing be "pure".
I also bet that if the camera swing is less accentuated, it would look/feel less jarring.
Honestly, great mechanic.

@bigfan_24 @Asinine_Archist @fia @FIAWEC So you're upset 20 cars get to race on equal ground???

@MY25Kiiaakmi Can't wait for the memes – "Genesis overtakes Porsche factory driver"

@SCSsoftware The SCS air freshener!

Checking out #ATS 1.60 public beta. The addition I’ve been looking forward to the most — company paint jobs — is finally here. Already picked the one I’ll probably end up using on my entire fleet. I love the slogan, it makes it feel very realistic in my opinion.

American Truck Simulator 1.60 open beta — Western Star 49X interior comparison (same graphic settings, same lighting).
