ETS2 Devs Prepare Major Controls Improvements. They Are Set to Be Foundation for New Projects

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent traversing virtual highways in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) and American Truck Simulator (ATS), this latest announcement from SCS Software has me both excited and a tad apprehensive. The prospect of more realistic driving controls, reminiscent of the real-life trucking experience, is tantalizing, but the potential reset of my meticulously crafted control settings has me bracing for impact.


SCS Software has shared that the upcoming update 1.51 for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will significantly enhance the control experience for users using gamepads.

  1. The developers plan to include presets for modifiers, allowing all basic game functions to be accessible without having to set the controller aside.
  2. They also redesigned the controller handling in a way that more closely resembles driving trucks in reality.

With this update, users who’ve customized their control settings extensively using the Steam controller setup and deviated from the default settings might discover, upon installation, that their personalized configurations have been restored back to the original defaults.

Some gamers speculate that this could involve transitioning both games to console platforms, as they are currently exclusive to PCs – with Euro Truck Simulator 2 debuting in 2012 and American Truck Simulator following suit in 2016.

The two games are continually being worked on extensively. American Truck Simulator (ATS) is set to receive its Arkansas expansion next week, followed by Iowa and Missouri later on. On the other hand, enthusiasts of Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) eagerly await the Greece and Nordic Horizons expansions.
