美洲卡车模拟：1.48版本正式推出

我们很高兴宣布，美洲卡车模拟 1.48版本更新现已正式推出，并已于 Steam 推送。此次更新包含 BUG 修复、改动及新内容，并在下方有相应介绍，因此我们推荐大家阅读看看！

我们想要借此机会感谢每一位在1.48版本更新开放测试期间，参与测试、提交反馈和BUG报告的玩家。大家宝贵的反馈帮助我们进一步优化、改善及解决在初期可能遗漏的 BUG。我们希望大家现在即可全面享受你们的“劳动果实”。

得克萨斯州新内容

大家都说得克萨斯州的一切都更大，这次更新也是如此！我们才华横溢的团队重访得州并带来一项合适的更新，包括道路、地标、货场等内容。

新增超过8条不同的道路、州际公路及高速公路，相当于500英里的实际里程，其中包括得州最著名的立交之一，被称为“High Five”的立交是达拉斯最早建造的五层立交桥之一。

继续“5”的话题，大家在此次更新中将能够探索5处新的定居点。请记得花些时间探索格林维尔、沙姆罗克、迪卡尔布、巴黎。

另一项大的附加内容是特克萨卡纳的加入，一座横跨于得克萨斯州与阿肯色州边境的独特城市，州分界线穿越城市中心。我们希望拥有得克萨斯州DLC的玩家们喜欢这次规模可观的更新。在我们之前一篇文章中可以了解更多有关这项更新的内容。

画廊内的城市界面

我们在1.46版本更新加入了画廊功能，一个展示你们所有图片、纪念照和已探索的观光点的界面，同时保留较旧的截图管理器的所有原始功能。今天，我们很高兴为画廊增加一项新功能！

随着大家在美洲卡车模拟探索越来越多的城市，你们将能够在新的“城市”栏收集这些城市。解锁后，大家将能够看到你们已访问哪些城市，还可以观看、回放任何城市介绍过场动画，之前通常仅当在相应地方设定为首个总部时才能看到。

希望大家喜欢画廊的这项新功能！在微博告诉我们你们已经解锁了多少座城市吧。

华盛顿州DLC定制城市介绍

延续我们在之前更新为犹他州、爱达荷州引入定制城市介绍，我们现在为美洲卡车模拟华盛顿州DLC也扩展增加了这些过场动画！

这些特定的过场动画会在玩家创建新档案选择起始城市时出现。我们希望新玩家（或重建新存档的玩家）喜欢这些新的附加内容，其展示了你们选择启程的地方。

起初，这些过场动画在镜头运动与功能性上非常基础，不过随着时间的推移，我们通过飞行视角等内容改善了这些动画。当时对于大多数玩家而言，仅有一次机会观看相应城市的过场动画，随后继续进行诸多小时的货运。这便是为何我们决定为画廊菜单增加这项新功能以供回放动画的原因，去看看其他也许还没有正常看过的城市过场动画。    

希望大家喜欢我们团队的这项工作成果，通过这些介绍动画将不同城市呈现于大家眼前，我们期待在未来将其拓展至更多的州。

特种运输DLC更新

除了在此次版本更新中加入至美洲卡车模拟的新内容与改动之外，我们还很高兴带来两条新的特纵运输路线。

大家准备好运输超尺寸货物挑战这些新路线了吗？你们可以在得克萨斯州拉雷多与圣安东尼奥之间、蒙大拿州劳雷尔与比灵斯之间找到这些独特的货运任务。

看来大家是胸有成竹了？在微博与我们分享你们的特种运输图片吧。

重制车辆运输拖挂

提到特种运输，我们很高兴告诉大家，我们车辆团队在他们的其他项目之间腾出了点空余时间，重访并重制我们游戏内经济用于运输各类车辆（例如轿车、SUV 等）的拖挂。

在货运市场搜寻这些货物并来一趟运输吧！距离你们最近的汽车经销商也许需要新车交付。

各州地图探索

我们知道有许多驾驶员享受达成 100% 地图探索的挑战。我们清楚这并不容易，所以我们引入了一个新的 UI 窗口，其可以通过点击世界地图界面左上角的地图探索访问。

点击这里后将打开一个新的窗口，其中显示包含美国各州及其州旗的列表，以及每个州的具体探索百分比。我们希望这将帮助大家在日益壮大的美洲卡车模拟世界中找到那些未探索的道路。

在下方评论区告诉我们你们的地图探索情况如何吧！、

选项滑块范围

我们很高兴带来一项倍受期待的选项页面的附加内容，以便于调整美洲卡车模拟的游戏设置。现在，大家将发现在滑块旁有一个小方框，其中显示当前滑块设定所对应的数值。

希望这项新内容将方便大家让不同存档保持相近的设置，以及与他人分享你们的设置。

重新设计输入控制选择引导

我们重新设计了输入控制选择引导 UI！我们团队努力为这个设置窗口带来简化且现代的设计。希望具有新图标且在每项选项旁标明描述的新 UI 将帮助引导新老玩家完成选择与设置过程。

电子稳定控制（防抱死制动系统 + 牵引力控制）

现在，大家可以在游戏设置中发现新增了防抱死制动系统 & 牵引力控制。这些电子稳定控制帮助驾驶员在各种状况或情境下控制车辆。防抱死制动系统（ABS）会在轮胎将要抱死时释放制动力。牵引力控制（ASR 或 TRC）有助于避免转向过度或转向不足，以及提供单独的轮胎防滑系统，为处于打滑状态的轮胎施以制动。

牵引力控制还具备转向协助功能，在转向不足或转向过度时启用，对内侧后轮制动以避免转向不足，对外侧前轮制动以避免转向过度。希望这些新功能将在你们未来的旅途中派上用场！

更改 MOD 结构

这项改动更针对于我们社区内的 MOD 创作者！现在，我们新增了一个能力以为多项DLC创建一个单独的 MOD，无论玩家实际拥有哪项DLC。

如果在 MOD 根目录下有至少其中一项子目录或文件（*.zip）命名为“base”或以“dlc_”为前缀，那么则装载这些子目录或文件，而非 MOD 根目录。我们还更新了 SCS Workshop Uploader 以同步这些改动。如果 SCS Workshop Uploader 发现一项具有新结构的 MOD，它便会执行额外的检查。

希望这个新结构让我们才华横溢的 modding 社区更便于创作，如果大家有任何问题，欢迎前往我们的 modding wiki 或我们的论坛，我们会在那为大家提供支持。

American Truck Simulator 1.48 Release

We are happy to announce that the 1.48 update for American Truck Simulator has been released and is now available on Steam. This update contains bug fixes, changes and new content, which are featured below, so we recommend taking a read! 

We'd like to take this opportunity to  thank everyone who participated, provided their feedback, and made bug reports during the Open Beta period. Your valuable input helped us make tweaks, changes and squash some bugs we may have missed the first time around. We hope you can now begin to fully enjoy the fruits of your work. 

New Texas DLC Content

They say everything is bigger in Texas, including the updates! Our talented team has revisited the state to bring an update that fits the boot; including roads, landmarks, depots, and more. 

The equivalent of 500 real miles have been added over 8 different roads, interstates and highways; including one of the most well known interchanges in Texas. Nicknamed the 'High Five', it is one of the first five-level stack interchanges to be built in Dallas.

Keeping on the topic of five, in this update you'll be able to explore 5 new settlements. Make sure to take time to explore Greenville, Shamrock, Sharman, De Kalb and Paris. 

Another big addition to this update is the addition of Texarkana; a unique city that straddles the border between Texas and Arkansas, with the state line running through the center of the city.  We hope owners of the Texas DLC will enjoy this sizeable update. Read more about this update in one of our previous blog posts.

Cities in the Gallery

In the 1.46 update, we introduced the Gallery feature, a one stop shop for all your images, photo trophies, and discovered viewpoints, which maintained all the legacy functionality of the older Screenshot Manager. Today, we're excited to add a new functionality to the Gallery! 

As you journey and discover the many cities of American Truck Simulator, you'll be able to collect them under the new 'Cities' tab. Once unlocked, you'll be able to view which cities you have visited, as well as watch and replay any of the city intro cutscenes; which are normally only seen when you first start your first HQ there. 

We hope you enjoy this new addition to our Gallery! Let us know how many cities you've already unlocked in on our social media channels. 

Washington DLC Custom City Intros

Carrying on from our previous update which introduced custom city intros for Utah & Idaho, we have now expanded these cutscenes in the Washington DLC for American Truck Simulator!

These special cutscenes appear when a player selects a starting city when creating a new profile. We hope that new players (or those restarting a new profile) will enjoy these new additions, showcasing the area where you have chosen to begin. 

Originally, these starting cutscenes were quite basic in terms of their movement and functionality, however as time has gone on, we have improved on them with fly-by scripts and more. For most players, you would only see one of these cutscene for a particular city just once, and then continue on to many hours of trucking. This is why we've decided to bring the new function to the Gallery menu to replay them, and see the other City Intros which you may not have normally seen.

We hope you enjoy the work of our team who have brought these Cities to life through these intros, and we look forward to introducing it to more states in the future.

Special Transport DLC Update

In addition to the new content and changes that are coming to American Truck Simulator in this update, we are also happy to introduce two brand new special transport routes! 

Are you ready to take on these new routes with oversized loads? You can find these unique delivery contracts between the cities of Laredo & San Antonio in Texas and Laurel & Billings in Montana. 

Think you handle it? Share with us your pictures from your Special Transport hauls on our social media channels.

Reworked Vehicle Transport Trailers

Speaking of special transport - we are happy to let you know that our vehicle team has found some spare capacity in between other of their projects to also revisit and rework trailers that our in-game economy uses to transport various types of vehicles, such as cars, SUVs, etc.

Search for these cargoes within the freight market and take them for a ride! Your nearest car dealer might need delivery of fresh new whips.

Per-State map exploration

We know how many drivers enjoy the challenging task of gaining 100% map exploration. We know this isn't easy, so we've introduced a new UI window which can be accessed by clicking on your map exploration in the top left of the world map.

Upon clicking on this, a new window will open showing you a list of the U.S States with their respective flag, and a breakdown of your exploration of each one. We hope that this will aid you in finding those missing roads in our ever-growing world of American Truck Simulator. 

Let us know how you're getting on with your map exploration in the comments below or on social media! 

Options slider ranges 

We are happy to introduce a highly requested addition to your options page when tweaking with settings in American Truck Simulator. You will now find a small box next to the sliders which displays the number which it is set to. 

We hope this makes it easier for you to not only set up multiple profiles with similar settings, but also share your settings with others.

Input wizard controls selection redesign 

We've given our input wizard for control selection a UI overhaul! Our team has been working hard to bring a simplistic but modern design to this setup window. We hope this new UI will help guide users new and old through the selection and setup process which features new icons and a clear description for each option. 

Electronic Stability Controls (Anti-Lock Braking System + Traction Control)

You can now find the addition of Anti-Lock Braking System & Traction Control in the gameplay options. These Electronic Stability Controls help assist the driver in a variety of conditions and/or scenarios. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) loosens brakes on wheels that are close to locking out. Traction Control (ASR or TRC) helps prevent oversteer and understeer, as-well provide individual wheel anti-slip system applies brakes to wheels that are slipping.

Traction control also features cornering assist, which becomes active when understeer or oversteer, it brakes the inside rear wheels to prevent understeer and outside front wheel to prevent oversteer. We hope these new additions will be of use to you on your future journeys!  

MOD structure changes

This change is more directed at our MOD creators in the community! We have now added the ability to create a single MOD for multiple DLCs, regardless of which DLC the user actually has.

If at least one of the subdirectories or files (*.zip) in the MOD root is named "base" or prefixed with "dlc_" then these subdirectories or files are mounted instead of the MOD root. We've also updated the SCS Workshop Uploader to reflect these changes as well. If the SCS Workshop Uploader discovers a MOD with the new structure, it performs additional checks.

We hope this new structure makes things a little easier for our talented modding community, and if you have any questions, feel free to head over to our modding wiki or forum where we can help support you.
