Bright Spark in Virtual Trucking

The Road Ahead: What's Cooking

Hello, there. For starters, I've never posted here before. Without further ado, I'd like to get everyone up to speed - people of all kinds who haven't decided yet what virtual-trucking company they would like to join, Let's jump in the madness, shall we?


1. Paintjob

Many things are happening within our HQ; from tracker bug hunting, error fighting, glitch sweeping, housecleaning, truck washing, wheel smashing... to seeing trucks fly like the newest SpaceX technology can't do while playing in multplayer. One of the good things having a tight-knit group of players is the freedom of choice and freedom in general, don't be afraid to contribute with your own skills if you feel you can fill a gap, everyone pursues some aim.

We've been thinking on the idea of having own paintjob pack for both Euro Truck 2 and American Truck, at some point. In the current state, we have the design laid out and people have voted on which layout should be chosen. Our very own wizard "ffracing75", also know as "FF" to many, won the poll we had, with a very simplistic yet stylish concept, one consists of the magnificent three: orange, white and black colours.

See his idea turned into actual skin in the screenshot below:

Other participants in the design contest were:

  • Zakxaev68
  • CTT a.k.a. Crestune
  • FrenzyWolf
  • Nick

1.1 Progress

At the moment, me and FF are making progress. We have applied the basic design on Mercedes-Benz New Actros (MP4) (seen above), Volvo FH16, MAN TGX Euro 6 and the Renault T, while the Dry Refrigerated trailer is taken care by FF himself.

Here's visual preview of what we have:

Volvo FH16 Worked on by ffracing75#8333

Renault Range T Worked on by Zakxaev68#7323

More stuff in the works that isn't ready for the public. I don't feel other trucks are ready yet, so this is what I/we can show at the moment.

1.2. Our aim

Initially, our aim is to cover all the stock trucks and trailers (where possible to have paintjob) for both games in a single package ready for distribution. Download, Install and Play. Simple as that. We don't have an estimate when we'll finish everything. Once again, voluntary work that takes a lot of time. For purveyors of perfection, it takes even more time to reach satisfying results. Please, bear with us and our image editors.

2. Spark FM - Music To Get You Going

Unlike being a simple Discord community, myself I hate silence, so I think others can agree with that. I speak for myself here. Music lover for ages, I always go with good music wherever I am on any kind of trip, be it riding to work, vacancy, world trip, or resting near the sea & mountain hiking, there's proper music to make your day. In this case, a 2000-track library full of classics from mid-80's, to 90's and 00's. Less of the bull of the modern music - but we do have that as well, for the sake of variety. We run our own in-house radio station, accessible only to members of the company through Discord.

Serving the duty of Radio Manager here,absolutely voluntarily, I've made sure to honor the music we love the most from back in the day. Don't worry. We have ABBA, Modern Talking, Phil Collins, Pantera, Queen... dozens more tracks to make you move wherever you're playing, alone or with other folks.

The nights are no more boring

I've decided to make a special schedule, playing different genres throughout the week, from Monday to Sunday, different moods, in a series of podcasts by artists that put nothing else than quality, such as Chicane, Thomas Datt, and not so popular music makers from around the world, doing electronic music as Chillout, Ambient, Experimental, IDM, Drum & Bass, Synthwave, House, Trance, Techno, Dub Techno, World music, also Pop, Rock, Eurodance, Disco, Funk... we have it all, mostly. Responsible for keeping the playlist going and the schedule running, my own aim was always and always will be, strictly: --- play no crap. I stick to that rule, so I can't be seeing playing crap. The streaming logs prove it.

Though, for listening pleasure and satisfaction, we are open to suggestions from everyone. You like the modern, club-driven and festival-focused music? Suggest what's on your mind and we might consider it. Never say never. Music is for everyone to enjoy the way they want.

Aaand I think that's a wrap for today. Hopefully I didn't miss to cover any points or forgot to name someone. Excuses if I did. Thanks for your attention. See you on the road -Zakxaev68
