SCS Software have made available their 1.19 update open beta for users to sample the upcoming features of the 1.19 update coming shortly to Euro Truck Simulator 2.
The biggest attraction of the 1.19 update is undoubtedly the two new Hungarian cities – Pécs and Szeged, which are part of the ever expanding “Going East!” content. Another prominent feature of the 1.19 open beta is the Mod Manager which has been included to help with previewing and organising modded content.
Other improvements found include additional controls, journey info found in the truck’s computer,, improved sounds including different wheel sounds on various terrain, and improved clarity of dashboard info in some of the game’s trucks.
The 1.19 open beta can be found on Steam (Steam client -> LIBRARY -> right click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 -> Properties -> Betas tab -> public_beta – 1.19 public beta) . Check out the new features listed below.
