We'd like to thank all those who took part in the 1.41 Open Beta, made bug reports, and provided general feedback on this new version. We hope you can now begin to fully enjoy the various new features which are included within this update.
Convoy is a new multiplayer game mode, where players can set up and host their own private sessions (password optional) to drive with their friends or other fellow truckers. There is currently support for synchronized AI traffic, time and weather, and the ability to take the same job as other players.
Convoy allows you to create and host an online session with up to 8 players. We plan to eventually raise the player limit in the future, however, we are keeping it small at this time due to its work-in-progress nature. Session hosts will automatically be made admins of these sessions, allowing them to ultimately control what kind of environment they want to have online, as well as having the ability to kick any trouble-makers from the session.
Today, we are happy to bring a new piece of the road network to the latest map expansion for ETS2. This update to Iberia includes the Autoestrada A24 which runs north to south across the Douro river valley, connecting A7 and A25. It passes through a very scenic region of Portugal, famous for its many vineyards.
Originally, this road was considered for release with Iberia DLC, but we did not manage to complete it in time. We decided to finish A24 anyway and bring it to you in an update, as we did not want to leave this beautiful part of Portugal behind!
Our teams are listening to feedback and making changes accordingly for upcoming updates and beyond. We look forward to bringing you similar development news in the near future, be sure to keep your suggestions and feedback coming as it really helps motivate us to improve our content.
We know how much our players love to take photos in-game and spend a lot of time creating that perfect shot, and for many, this also includes finding the right lighting conditions and weather. So to help create that perfect trucking memory, we have implemented a new feature that may save you quite a bit of time when it comes to using console commands!
Introducing the new Time and Weather options! Players will now be able to choose the conditions of their liking, to create the perfect trucking snap just by simply adjusting a new slider to change the time, or clicking on two buttons to control the lighting/weather, all of which will appear in the updated in-game photo studio. We can't wait to see how drivers will use this new feature in the future and we look forward to seeing your snaps!

Official multiplayer - this term alone would be enough to bring fans of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator to their screens. It's a groundbreaking feature that wa firsts available to those who participated in the open beta. SCS Software made improvements based on testers' suggestions, and multiplayer mode has become the highlight of update 1.41 (via ETS2, ATS blogs). From now on, there is no need to use unofficial mods to play together with friends when delivering goods.
The new Convoy mode enables up to eight people to play together. This may not seem like much compared to the fan-made TMP mod which enabled us to encounter thousands of players on the road. In Convoy, we are accompanied by the traffic known from single-player gameplay.. It is synchronized for all users, just like the time of day, weather conditions and DLCs. Each player in a convoy can carry out the same orders - in a special window it is possible to preview the contracts of other participants.
We have control over who participates in our game. We can host a session (being the admin) or join the games of other players. The game provides three ways of communication for the participants of a convoy: chat (in the traffic advisor window), voice conversation activated by a key (like in a CB radio), or a menu of quick replys (customizable). After the completed adventure we can choose whether we want to keep our progress (earnings, experience) or restore the previous game state.
The Convoy mode has some disadvantages. There is no possibility to use mods or stationary drawbridges, which may be due to obvious limitations of multiplayer. The possible disappearance of traffic when one player is disconnected or the interference of voice communication with typing in chat are, on the other hand, things that look like early version bugs and should be fixed with updates.
Of course, the new update is not only the Convoy mode. Both simulators gained a refreshed photo mode. Now it enables us to change time of day and weather conditions (only for the purpose of taking screenshots). There is also a new function for the players, fast travel.
Both titles have also received changes to the maps. In ETS2, Iberia DLC owners can travel on the new A24 motorway that passes through the picturesque Duero river area. Attentive ATS players will notice the first signs of the announced refresh of the California area. The update introduced agricultural inspection stations on the state border, and the layout of some roads has been upgraded. Patches for both games are now available for download. See you on the road!
