I hope you understand now why MS2 replaced the good ol' ETS2 and ATS studio. Different thematic plugins are categorized so you can handily choose from thousands of cool ATS mods. The game is a direct sequel to the 2008 game Euro Truck Simulator and it is the second video game in the Truck Simulator series. Join our Discord, we're always help with any MS2 issues you might have! offers a lot of different american truck simulator mods of play - trucks, trailers, tuning details, maps, etc. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is an open world truck simulator game developed and published by SCS Software for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS and was initially released as open development on 19 October 2012. I release MS2 updates almost on a monthly basis now.
But for some things, you'll have to put a little bit of effort and get used to the new way of doing things. I'll do my best to fix bugs and develop missing features. There's bugs, some features are missing, some things are different from what they were in the old apps.
I also understand that Mods Studio 2 can annoy you at times.
This effectively means that I cannot update the old apps - even if I wanted. On top of that, the user interface elements that we used to design the app became obsolete as well, and it was time to pull the plug.Īt this point, I can't even properly load the old source code in my Visual Studio. At one point, the game changes were so big, that it became impossible to update the apps. I struggled for years to keep it updated and in line with ETS2 (and later on, with ATS). I still am proud of the design and functionality of our first ETS2. All of the tools featured validation (Right side of the window), that showed the user what they are missing for a working mod.
(Later, we added option to add mod trucks). It was convoluted, and it really was s PITA to update. Truck skin tool offered all SCS trucks and 50kedas 2009 Scania R, the most popular mod truck of the time. All of that combined meant that the code behind the app was very rigid and oriented towards a specific task. At that time, I also had way less development experience. There was no ATS, and also the game was not updated as often as it is now. why did I decide to dump them and start completely from scratch?Į2S was made in a time when only ETS2 existed - in October 2013. I also think user interface looked way better than it does now. Every couple of days, I get comments that ETS2 & ATS Studio was way better than Mods Studio 2, that MS2 does not work, and that I should update the old applications to support the current game version.įirst of, I'm glad people think that old ETS2 & ATS Studio were awesome.
