[img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tB4xHkMKOfM/VZz02E_cB8I/AAAAAAAAByU/Tn_iOPBiYfQ/s620/pecs_preview.jpg[/img] The most prominent features of this update are: [list] [*][b]Hungary expansion[/b] - we have added two new cities to the Going East! content - Pécs and Szeged [*][b]Mod Manager[/b] - for ease of preview and organization of modded content. We encourage all mod makers to check out [url=http://www.eurotrucksimulator2.com/mod_manager.php]Mod Manager documentation[/url] for instructions on how to make sure that your mods are well prepared for the new Mod Manager.

[*]Improved readability of dashboard info in some trucks (computer display, GPS map) [*]Added wheel sounds on different surfaces (+ re-balanced sounds) [*]Added sounds for sticks and buttons in truck cabin [/list] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V5CYl0IN12s/VZz02PUjEQI/AAAAAAAAByc/BdKCYmsEBAM/s620/mod_manager_preview.jpg[/img] You can find the beta in the [i]public_beta[/i] branch on Steam. (Steam client -> LIBRARY -> right click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 -> Properties -> Betas tab -> public_beta - 1.19 public beta) Please note that Open Betas are released for advanced users who want to get a preview of upcoming stable release functionality, and for mod makers to give them a chance to make any necessary changes before the official update is out. Anyway it's a good idea to make a backup of your player profile if you want a safe route to revert back to stable version. Please report any issues with the Beta you might find in [url=http://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=170]our dedicated forum thread[/url].
