At this very moment, several new truck models are build up for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today we can have a glimpse of a nice truck model, namely the new 'Volvo FH-series'. Of course this truck is still 'Work in Progress'. 

Some other new trucks and many other novelties will be partially released with several patches; some add-ons will be released, upon payment that is. Now we're still waiting for this new patch for Euro Truck Simulator 2, but please be patient! There is still some hard work going on overhaul and improve the games' main features and even the game-engine! Big adjustments as you can see, which takes some time but it's quite an importance for the game itself.

After a few days of testing with a private group of beta testers, a beta version was released yesterday for Euro Truck Simulator 2. This beta version can be obtained via Steam, however it's not for free. To gain access to this beta, you need to have a full licensed version of this game. To test your Linux version you need to follow these steps:

1. Install the game in Steam client. You're downloading the normal version, without Linux executables;
   
2. When you've opened Steam client, open the properties of ETS2 and go to the 'Betas';-tab
3. Select 'linux_testing' beta;
4. The Linux executables will now be installed.

Feedback about this beta can be given in the SCS Software forum and search for Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Linux Beta Testing.

ETS2 will play fluently on Nvidia drivers, but on ATI/AMD drivers there are possibilities for lag and other problems. Older versions of MESA has some problems as well, but are fixed in the new version. However, graphic artefact is still an issue.

Today 4 new, beautiful screens were published. And yes, it's still a while until the new patch for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be released, the main reason is because there will be so much improvements! There will be some nice features, but because of the fine tuning and tweaking it needs some extra time.

Not only improvements at the source code and gameplay (and map improvements), but the heart of the game will be improvement as well... What that exactly means, was not mentioned. The first big improvement will be the addition of the 'Iveco Stralis Hi-Way', but there will be much more...

 

At this moment, SCS is working hard on the release from their new patch V1.3.x; but they're also working on an expansion for Eastern-Europe. This new expansion is centered on Eastern-Europe, but especially focused on Poland

SCS Software announces that they are working on this expansion for quite a long time and showed us some progress. But they're still continuing to finish the expansion.

In a few days, the new patch for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be released. Lots of improvements are made, there are still plenty of ideas, so there will be more improvements still to come! Many different options are added, click here to see which options, who are still in progress and therefore not available yet in next
patch V1.3.x. Which options that will be, isn't announced yet.

But,to not disappoint your expectations 2 remarkable changes are applied in game. At first, the modelers should be thanked for there work. But, here is the great news. SCS Software presents, with proud, 2 new official truck brands. It contains now, 6 out of the 7 largest  European truck brands.
