As it works towards v1.51 of American Truck Simulator, developer SCS Software has revealed that the game’s Texas DLC map pack will receive a visual refresh when the update finally drops.
The graphics update focuses on the Lone Star State’s vegetation, with ATS’ original pine trees now set to be replaced with the more appropriate loblolly pines normally associated with Texas.
Originally, the loblolly pines – whose Latin name is pinus taeda – were created in-game for ATS’ Arkansas DLC pack and feature a wider, bushier canopy compared to the standard pines already found in the virtual version of Texas.
The pines are the second-most common tree species in the United States and can grow up to 35 metres tall, with its quick-growing nature making it ideal for use in the timber industry – something ATS players will already be familiar with.
To receive the updated Texas vegetation visuals, players will need to own American Truck Simulator’s Texas DLC map pack. Details on the release date for American Truck Simulator’s v1.51 build have yet to be revealed.
