ATS & ETS2 Major Update

As Announced Both ATS & ETS2 are getting A new vehicle DLC each. This maybe a while before they come out. SCS has recently announced a New update. Welcome to 1.58 Update 

What is new?

Tutorial Redesign & Contextual Hints

SCS are introducing a redesigned tutorial focused on a new system of contextual hints. The goal is to introduce the game and its features to new players more organically by presenting helpful information at the right moment, rather than relying solely on a single, linear tutorial flow. Initially, this system will incorporate prompts from the current first job tutorial, complemented by a selection of newly created hints. These prompts are designed to appear naturally during gameplay, helping new players understand core mechanics while allowing experienced drivers to stay focused on the road.

Route Advisor Redesign

One of the most visible changes coming with the 1.58 update is the complete redesign of the Route Advisor. In fact, the current Advisor, as you know, is being removed and replaced with an entirely new widget-based system. Instead of a single, fixed panel, information will now be presented through individual graphical widgets, each dedicated to a specific function. This approach allows for a cleaner on-screen experience and gives players more control over what information they want to see while driving. The widgets can be customised to better suit different playstyles and preferences, whether you prefer a minimal setup or a more information-rich HUD. This redesign has been in development for some time and was frequently requested by the community. We previously showcased it exclusively to fans attending our third SCS Fan Day, and it has since undergone extensive internal testing, as well as senior external testing, with very encouraging results. As with all major changes, They will continue to closely monitor the Open Beta phase to collect your feedback, allowing us to incorporate it into future iterations and updates. Our ultimate goal is to ensure everything works smoothly and meets the expectations of the widest possible range of players.

Quick Info Feature

The Pause Screen has been completely reworked to better reflect how our games are played today. With this in mind, we took the opportunity to rethink the Pause Screen from the ground up and give it a clearer purpose, redesigning it into a Quick Info feature. The new design focuses on presenting key information in a structured and easily readable way, including controls, truck information, job details, and local regulations, all in one place. As part of this change, some information that was previously shown directly in the Adviser has been moved to the Quick Info feature. This primarily includes job information, truck damage details, as well as options for truck settings and calling for service. This redistribution helps keep the on-road HUD cleaner, while still ensuring that all important data is only a pause away when you need it, and it also helps pave the way for future gameplay experiences such as Coaches and Road Trip.

Management Screen - QoL Improvements & Bug Fixes

The 1.58 update brings a set of finishing touches to the existing management screens, including the Driver, Trailer, Truck, and Garage Managers. Rather than a major overhaul, these changes focus on refining what’s already there by improving usability, clarity, and overall polish, while also addressing a number of smaller imperfections.

One of the practical improvements is better visibility of information related to hired drivers. Players will now be able to more easily track the progress of their drivers’ skills, making it clearer how their team is developing over time. In addition, the currently selected skill training for each hired driver will be highlighted directly in the skills overview, allowing players to see it at a glance.

Truck Configurator Improvements

The Truck and Trailer Configurator, along with the Explorer, are also receiving targeted improvements. While these screens are powerful, we recognise that their current form is not always optimal for controller or mouse use, with some functions being unclear, difficult to navigate, or lacking helpful tooltips and hints. A number of smaller issues have also been addressed as part of this update.

Rather than a complete redesign, our goal here is to refine and improve the existing UI. This means clearer navigation, better feedback, added hints where needed, and overall stability improvements, all while keeping the familiar structure intact.

These changes should make vehicle customisation more accessible and enjoyable, whether you’re fine-tuning details with a mouse or navigating menus from the comfort of a controller.

This is Just some of the Changes that was made in this update
