This isn't just a fresh coat of paint; it's a total reconstruction. Long-time drivers will notice that the road layouts, landmarks, and city hubs in the Benelux area now reflect the high level of detail found in recent DLC expansions. For many, this brings one of the oldest parts of the map back into the regular rotation of profitable routes, as the immersion factor has skyrocketed.
Beyond the map changes, the 1.59 update introduces the Volvo Trucks Experience Center in Gothenburg. For players who own the Scandinavia DLC, this new location offers a dedicated space to appreciate the brand's history and engineering. Additionally, the logistics side of the sim gets more realistic with the integration of Thermo King. These branded refrigeration units now replace the generic models on reefer trailers, adding that extra layer of authenticity that simulation fans crave.
On the quality-of-life front, the new Tow to Road feature is a literal lifesaver. By pressing F7, players can now recover their truck from awkward stuck positions or rollovers for a small fee, placing them safely back on the tarmac without needing a full tow to a service station. The Advisor UI and Skills screen have also seen visual reworks, adding new Finance and Damage widgets to help you keep a closer eye on your trucking empire's bottom line.
