[p align=\"justify\"]Update 1.57 for ETS2 brings the long-awaited refresh for the https://store.steampowered.com/app/304212/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2__Scandinavia/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Scandinavia DLC . Our team has embarked on an ambitious refresh of the Scandinavia map expansion to create and bring the region up to the quality standards of newer map content.[/p]

Key improvements include:

• A full refresh of the region with updated textures, vegetation, and road assets, alongside new rest stops and fuel stations.

  [/*]

• A major overhaul of the road network: custom-designed junctions replacing old prefabs (notably around Denmarks motorways and Swedens busy E-corridors).

  [/*]

• New map additions, including the brand-new cities of Aarhus in Denmark and Karlstad in Sweden, along with a completely rebuilt Copenhagen featuring modern infrastructure and landmark recreations to enrich the network and scenery, and much more for you to discover!\n\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4419325/d6ae13df75b88881b316588da2cd9b5473bc1e8a.jpg\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4419325/303e92c8ecd44244ac2c4351d0e95143163b4872.jpg\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4419325/8716358f93138cd1473e61f026bc99191841a1c2.jpg\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4419325/76efbeedd68133ea3dcf2ffa9bf09dba5cdda05c.jpg\"][/img]

This update is intended to ensure that when players cross through the Scandinavia region en route to the upcoming Nordic Horizons expansion, the visual and structural transition feels seamless and up-to-date.\n\n[dynamiclink href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/304212/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2__Scandinavia/\"][/dynamiclink]

[p align=\"justify\"]HDR Support\n[/p][p align=\"justify\"]We are implementing HDR (High Dynamic Range) support in the game. HDR is a feature that enhances image quality, allowing players with HDR-compatible monitors or TVs to experience richer colours and improved contrast.[/p][p align=\"justify\"]Alongside HDR, we are also updating the brightness setup to give players more control over visual settings. This will include a dedicated setup screen where you can preview your brightness adjustments on actual in-game images, as well as an HDR Calibration feature, which lets you fine-tune the HDR effect using a simple slider.\n[/p]

[p align=\"justify\"]For players using HDR-compatible displays, the feature will be automatically enabled in the game, ensuring you get the best possible visual experience from the moment you start playing.\n[/p][p align=\"justify\"]Cursor Navigation Enhancements[/p][p align=\"justify\"]We\'ve also fine-tuned the cursor navigation experience. The cursor speed is now consistent across all screen resolutions, and the overall speed and control precision have been slightly increased when using a controller, making navigation smoother and more responsive.\n[/p][p align=\"justify\"]Dynamic Cargo Loading and Unloading[/p][p align=\"justify\"]The long-awaited dynamic loading and unloading featureis debuting in Euro Truck Simulator 2, bringing even more immersion and realism to your trucking experience.\n[/p]

[p align=\"justify\"]Originally introduced in American Truck Simulator, this feature will now appear in selected custom and prefab depots across ETS2, starting with locations in the Nordic Horizons DLC and expanding to suitable depots throughout the base map, other map DLCs, and even a custom shipyard in Athens, Greece.\n[/p]

[p align=\"justify\"]For the initial rollout, logging trailers will be the first to benefit from this feature. Players hauling Logs, Large Tubes, or Iron Pipes will see material handlers or crawler excavators dynamically loading and unloading their cargo. Simply position your trailer in the designated area, and the process will start automatically, adding a satisfying touch of realism to every delivery.\n[/p]
