They plan on doing all states eventually, but it'll be a while before they get to Colorado, since they're working their way to the east coast via I-10, and they have talked about the Pacific Northwest.
I do want to go to Colorado too though, having lived in Colorado Springs myself.

Here is a comprehensive guide to setting up dual monitors with correct fov:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=628485050
Personally I play on single monitor (when not in vr) and use my mouse to look around and have a dedicated button to recenter my view.
I've also read about someone who configured controls so that the view instantly snaps back to default when you are not actively using your analog stick to move around. I think it can be done in controls.sii by assigning both left and right axis to the "center view" control, and then putting a ! (not) in front of the input names so the game will always be activating the command when you are not pushing the stick.

Yeah, Colorado is on the list, although they will be working their way over to the east coast and up along the west coast to Alaska first by the sounds of it. They'd like to do all of North America eventually, but to be honest at their current pace I just can't see that happening. I'd wager we'll see the mod community do it long before SCS gets there!
Right stick click centers view, fov set to 90, and a virtual right hand mirror are my gotos
New blog post on New Mexico DLC
http://blog.scssoft.com/2017/06/new-mexico-land-of-enchantment.html
Does it include a release date? Of course not you fool... but it does have some nice pictures of the DLC.

Looks great as all their recent content does. But man I wish they could put these out faster.

As far as X, Circle, Triangle, and Square, I recommend using one for headlights, one for windshield wipers, one for over the shoulder view, and one for straight ahead view.

Aside from steering, gas and looking around I have:
- Engine on/off
- Decoupling trailer
- Handbrake
- Windshield wipers
- Headlights
- Blinkers [for immersion]
And if there's any buttons left - the map.

Triples was a nice surprise. I expect modders will just keep going and soon we are all playing Australian Road Train Simulator.

Teaser for new ETS 2 content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdXkngfzANA

Is this some sort of Italy reveal? I don't even know anymore and their revels for new content are usually a year in the future anyway
Italian flag and the Dies Irae from Verdi's requiem (Italian composer) certainly indicates it to be.

Which is odd, considering Arizona and California don't feature Route 66.

The update is out proper now. As is the ETS2 update.

For ETS 2 players with a World of Truck account, a new event has started called Trade Connections - France. Complete deliveries to and from France with 10 different countries), and you'll get a miniature Eiffel Tower for your cabin, as well as 3 random flag pennants, which can be bought, sold, and traded over Steam Marketplace.'
EDIT: My regular Freight Market job didn't count, so I assume it's Online Contracts.

Yes, it's only for World of Trucks contracts.

These are two images from the upcoming New Mexico DLC. I'd say that's both variety from the base game and within the same state.
Apart from that, they seem to spend a lot of time making unique buildings and landmarks in each state. Probably more time than they spend on the landscapes.

What are your controller settings? If you are on real automatic you need to bind shift up and shift down to be able to switch between reverse, neutral and drive. I don't remember what the defaults are. If you are on simple automatic, I don't think you need to bind anything special but can't remember.

Check that your clutch pedal works in controller settings (the bar should fill up when depressed).
Check that each gear on the controller is bound to positions 1-6
Try re-selecting range mode. I know a recent patch changed all the shifter options.
Is the G29 shifter standalone or require some special settings in the logitech software since it is sold seperatly? Maybe you need to specifically select it at the top in the controller menu?

In addition to me being glad that I don't have to drive in that roundabout-less dystopia you call the United States of America, this screenshot is some of the most detailed work I've seen in the game. No wonder this takes ages when they are always raising the bar.
Not sure about other states but here in Minnesota we have round a bouts all over the place. And as a fun little side game nobody knows how to use them.

Awesome that New Mexico is almost here. Q4 2017 they said.
Finished the Trade Connections event and got 2 Polands and a Switzerland. Sold them and bought UK, Sweden, Italy, and Czech Republic. It's a nice V with a Scania pennant at the center.

Who the hell builds an intersection with a train line running through the middle of it?!

There is a World of Trucks event going on now. 300.000lbs of goods in double trailers delivered by December will get you a Steam inventory enabled background. The reward is pretty bad compared to the similar event they had for Euro Truck a few months ago, but I guess since cabin accessories aren't legal in the US they have to work with what they've got.
New World of Trucks Event: Double-trailer Logistics
I also expect NM to be out by the end of this month, but I have to say I'm disappointed about how long SCS are taking with each state. I get that the rescaling was a massive effort and the work they do on maps now is so much better than in the past, but progress seems so slow.

New trailer for New Mexico. Still no release date.

Looks great. Really hope those roadside accident sites are random.

Awesome trailer! I look forward to it sometime after Half Life III is out with two expansions behind it...

ATS open beta for 1.29 is out on Steam (check beta branch). No blog post until Monday, but dev wrote this on reddit:
This also probably means that NM is right around the corner since version updates usually come right before map expansions.

Some of these new roads save a good amount of work, like how AZ-93 essentially connects Phoenix to Kingman. Also notice that New Mexico is "highlighted" on the world and job maps.
Mengy

Yeah, they are adding a few new connecting roads that will be very handy and useful:

Drove the new road by Death Valley and it's a really interesting drive. The new GPS mode that makes it avoid highways whenever possible is almost tailor made to me as well. I always love to take the smaller and more interesting roads.
Edit: Seems like ever stretch of road they've added feels higher quality than the base game. This bodes really well for the NM expansion.

I picked this up on day one of the Steam summer sale with all the DLC and I gotta tell ya, I am fucking HOOKED on this game. I thought I would be bored since I've been playing nothing but racing games lately, but nothing could be further from the truth.
I play it on Rift S, with wheel, pedals, h-shifter and buttkicker. Shit is Zen on wheels. Grab a job, hit the road, take in the sights, listen to tunes. So simple, so laid back, but sooooo much fun.
Highly recommended

The Convoy beta is running currently. I’ve played it with friends, and it’s pretty interesting. But it’s not compatible with VR yet, and if I have to choose between MP or VR; I choose VR.
