ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.62)
The 1.62 update is now available for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. SCS implemented a new “drivetrain_loss” parameter for the Road Trip cars in this version. I’ve updated Ford Car Pack Powertrain Fixes to incorporate this change. As per their apparent insistence on treating the games like a black box, much to the chagrin of many players and modders, they opted to omit this, among many changes far more interesting than some paintjobs being darker shades of blue and yellow (that you also have to pay for), from the official changelog. You should notice the cars accelerating somewhat more slowly above certain speeds with this version than with 1.61.

ETS2 Mod Status (1.62 Open Beta)
ETS2 update 1.62 brought some changes to the DAF XG+ (the top lights are now separate from the cab), meaning ETS2-QJTI needs to be updated. The compatibility changes have been made and will be released after the beta is over. You can see all mods here.

ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.61)
The 1.61 update is now available for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. It appears that all currently supported mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator work without issues with the new update. I plan on releasing a collection of small mods for both games that take advantage of some of the new features that 1.61 brings, mainly in preparation for the Road Trip expansion for ATS.

ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.60)
Just over a month after the release of 1.59, 1.60 is available for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. None of the vanilla S-Way Quick Jobs configs use metallic colors anymore, but they still don’t have retarders, so the overrides in ETS2-QJTI will stick. Extra VNL Parts was updated to fix an issue where the newly added mirror text was just nonsense. You can see all mods here.

ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.59)
Mods that rely on SCS localization string keys may have display issues in the games’ user interface with the 1.59 update. This affects some of my ETS2 mods. It appears that all of my currently supported mods for American Truck Simulator work without issues with the 1.59 update. You can see all mods here.

ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.58)
Since ATS 1.58 came out yesterday and ETS2 1.58 is apparently coming out tomorrow, figured I’d write this. ETS2-QJTI release 26.01 has some issues with the 1.58 update. This is due to SCS changing some things around with the Scania R & S with this update. Older releases, however, should work fine. SCS already fixed the issue that version intended to fix, so that override will be removed with the next update anyway.

ETS2/ATS Mod Status (1.57)
I wrote the last update because I was going to be on vacation the week following, leaving me unable to update any mods. It appears that all currently supported mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator work without issues with the 1.57 update. You can see all mods here.

ETS2 Mod Status (1.57 Open Beta)
I’m not sure if any mods need updating at the moment – probably not. At the time I’m writing this, I’m currently downloading the open beta for ETS2 1.57. Depending on how this update affects the Scania R and S Quick Job trucks, which were updated with this version, ETS2-QJTI may receive an update related to them. ETS2-QJTI never affected these trucks, so the current version should still work with 1.57.
