Update 1.28

1.28.1.1

Released Aug 17, 2017:

Main Features

• Double trailers:

We introduced doubles in this update into... American Truck Simulator with the addition of triples and Rocky Mountain doubles in the state of Nevada where they are legal.

• Background screen options:

This feature, admittedly mostly cosmetic, is a neat break of monotony when coming back to the game's main menu. As the options for alternate background scenes will grow over time, there will be more choice for you to picking a unique atmosphere that matches your style.

• Changed light look on the player's truck and AI vehicles

Light flares are a great change that sharpened the game's look quite a bit, as such, they have earned their own dedicated blog post.

Minor Changes

• Auxiliary brakes system support (engine brake and retarder in one control element)
• Fixed license plate change in states/countries where no city formats exist
• Fixed brake vs parking brake behavior
• Fixed tire noise of silent tires
• Retarder improvement (better cruise control behavior, no braking with throttle, icon when moving only)
• Steam Inventory support to allow for distributing rewards from upcoming World of Trucks events
• Added three more steering wheel designs into the Steering Creations DLC
