NEW IN 5.2
- Roadside breakdowns + TM Roadside Assist (full licence; on by default, can be turned off in Ctrl+F10 > JOB > ROADSIDE SERVICE): the truck can break down on the road. Call the service ([F] in the cab or the phone key Num 0, which works when the truck is broken down, badly damaged or out of fuel), put on the hi-vis vest, hazard lights on, place the warning triangles. The service van drives in behind your trailer, the mechanics walk over with their tools and repair the truck on the safe side of the road, you take the receipt, and the van drives away. Out of fuel by the road: the mechanic brings fuel cans.
- Cargo straps and chains fastened one by one (full licence): on your own flatbed, drop deck or lowboy, the straps and chains show only once you fasten them at green dots on their real hooks, ratchets and chain binders. Normal = one step each, Hardcore = hook ends first, then each ratchet / binder. Tightening a strap shows the ratchet working, with its own sound. Released the other way round before the unloading. On / off and the steps in Ctrl+F10 > JOB.
- Open the rear doors before the dock (full licence): at a loading / unloading spot with a dock, after the office check-in, stop a few metres out, open the doors of your van, reefer, container or chip van, then back in.
- Cab curtains (full licence): in the rest mode look at a window and press F. Real 3D curtains from outside. 7 colours + Auto (Ctrl+F10 > DOORS & CABIN), the same inside and outside.
- Curtain editor (full licence): "Adjust the curtains of this truck" - your own fit, saved per truck model.
- Lock the truck (full licence): tap F at the cab door = get in, hold F = lock / unlock. A plain key on old trucks, the remote on the others.
- The worker who takes your documents at your truck where a company has no office building near (full licence).
- Rest areas: the shower at restroom blocks, and a rest corner where there is no toilet building (full licence).
- Sit on benches from any side (full licence).
- Settings export, import and taking a backup back (full licence); automatic settings backups for everyone.
- Real 3D wheel chocks at the tyres, no mod to enable.
- Upper bunk in cabs with two bunks; you stoop or kneel under low ceilings in the cab.
- New green LED bedside clock.
- Seatbelt head movement when buckling / unbuckling, also while driving (Ctrl+F10 > REST).
- Job clipboard in the driver's seat on Shift+C (C stays the game's cruise control).
- Czech and Ukrainian languages.
FIXES
- With ReShade loaded (dxgi.dll or a "reshade" folder), W A S D no longer drive the truck while you walk.
- Mouse steering: mouse buttons bound to throttle / brake no longer drive the truck while you walk.
- Engine off: W no longer reaches the truck and the game's "start the engine" hint no longer pops up while walking.
- Wheel / pad buttons for walking work with a dinput8.dll mod in the game folder (MOZA and others).
- The parking choice screen after the office check-in opens only with the game's Parking difficulty "Always select". Skilled parking: driving straight into the marked drop spot counts as arrived.
- A quick job taken again no longer starts with the finished job's steps.
- Own trailer: driving into the company's drop zone counts as arrived (also after loading a save there). Backing in before the office check-in shows a reminder to check in first.
- Rigid trucks / invisible-trailer jobs: the loading also starts in the game's load area. Cargo offers work on ETS2 1.62.
- Wheel chocks sit at the wheels where the game draws them (also with a sliding axle set), against the outer tyre; chocks, triangles and cones stand on the ground.
- Steam Cloud profiles: the profile's game options (fatigue, currency, parking difficulty) are read right.
- NVIDIA Smooth Motion: no longer hooked by default (it froze the picture on some PCs) - turn Smooth Motion off for this game to see the hands; the [F] prompts go to the game's hint box.
- Flashlight: always its own light by default - no more beam cut off short at night.
- Fuel pump screen: totals over 1000 shown correctly.
- Big maps (ProMods etc.): no more constant map re-reading while driving.
- No more small hitches when the plugin saves (saving runs in the background).
- Controllers: buttons can be tied to one controller; a shifter / switch already on no longer makes you walk by itself.
- Green spot loading / unloading uses your own Activate key.
- Getting up from the lower bunk takes you back to where you stood.
- Clipboard: no finished job's sheet. F3 status rings follow the game's HUD. Convoy chat typing no longer triggers plugin keys.
- -homedir launch option works again (driver needs, profile).
- OptiScaler: the plugin's keyboard reader switches itself off.
- Curtains stay when the truck is teleported; curtain editor keys and footer fixed.
