We are ready to start public testing of a new Update for ATS today. ETS2 Open Beta should follow later this week. After rescaling the ATS world in 1.5, we have focused on driver experience improvements in this update.
We have already mentioned liftable trailer axles in a previous announcement. Weigh station pass device is another little "cabin toy" that's a part of a trucker's life, so we felt that it should be brought into the game. ]This update also improves simulation of a vehicle's engine internals. There is more attention now on varying performance of different configurations, we have enhanced adaptive transmission modes, and also added the differential lock, which may be handy on uneven surfaces. Additional improvements to vehicle behavior include air brake simulation tweaks, also engine brake input in certain situations has been changed. We have also increased the range of available FOVs for multi-monitor setups. About the weigh station pass device: The box is mounted on the windshield of the truck. In the game, it works the same way as the weigh station functionality that's a part of the on-screen Advisor "widget." For players who prefer to switch off all user interface elements to get a more immersive experience, they will now have the visual cue to know whether they need to either complete the weight check or whether they can bypass it.

List of features included in ATS Update 1.6:

MAIN FEATURES

Weigh station pass device
Trailer liftable axles
Differential lock
Adaptive transmission modes (power, normal, eco)
Improved engine simulation model (friction, braking, consumption)

MINOR CHANGES

Air pressure simulation improved (pressure buildup, cut-off sound, application pressure), working air pressure values fixed
Transmission input shaft simulation (double clutch)
Coin sound tweaked
Field Of View (FOV) range increased to 40-120 degrees in adjuster
If engine brake toggle input is not assigned, increase/decrease engine brake input work similar to retarder (in range from 0 to maximum)
Tuned wheel noise to be more noticeable with loud engines
Multiple fueling points on gas stations
g_force_economy_reset flag is disabled after economy reset

MOD

Single "overrides" (forced default) rule can be used instead of defaults-suitable rule pair across linked accessories
All pressure unit set consistently to bars (data, animation, dashboard UI)
Nominal air_tank_pressure value added to chassis data
Changed interior animations: all air, oil and brake pressure (gauges, indicators)
New interior animation: trailer axle lift (indicator), differential lock (button, indicator)
New engine data: resistance_torque (measured at 2000 rpm)
Coin sound made moddable in the same way as other sounds (through .ogg file)

Please check our modding wiki too to get details pertaining to mods for the game. If you wish to participate in the open beta, you can find this version in public_beta branch on Steam. The way to access it is as follows: Steam client → LIBRARY → right click on American Truck Simulator → Properties → Betas tab → public_beta → 1.6 public beta. No password required. Just as with the previous Open Beta releases - please keep in mind that this is still only a beta version of the update! You may experience instability and/or bugs and kinks. It’s completely okay if you want to wait for the final release. But if you are interested in providing feedback at this stage, be sure to let us know on our forums. We appreciate all your feedback immensely.
