With Update 1.3.0, the long-awaited activatable virtual right-side mirror requested by the community is being added to the game. This means you won’t miss potential obstacles on the right side anymore, helping you achieve even better evaluations.

We have extensively reworked the game world, focusing on vegetation and detail to create more realistic landscapes and an even more immersive atmosphere.

All trucks now feature a top-down camera, providing a better overview and making manoeuvring easier. Optimized loading and reloading of the game world also ensures shorter loading times.

The trucks have also received improved gear-shifting behavior, resulting in more efficient and realistic driving.

For a more immersive gaming experience, haptic feedback has been enhanced. The optimized controller vibration and refined steering wheel force feedback provide a much more realistic response when driving over curbs or colliding with obstacles.

For breathtaking screenshots, we’ve significantly increased the draw distance both in-game and in photo mode (16 km!). In addition, you can expect various gameplay improvements and several bug fixes that further enhance the overall gameplay experience.
