Hello, truckers!

It’s time to share some fresh news about Truck World Australia and the latest improvements we’ve made based on your playtest feedback.

🛠 Automatic Steering Wheel Configuration

Many popular steering wheel models will now work right away upon connection—no need to manually assign every button. But if you’d like to adjust your controls, you have two convenient options:
✔ Use the configuration wizard for quick setup.
✔ Manually assign individual commands for full control over your steering.

🌍 Improved Force Feedback on Dirt Roads

In Truck World Australia, you won’t just be driving on asphalt—you’ll also tackle dirt roads. We’ve paid special attention to how Force Feedback feels in these conditions.
Now:
✔ Terrain readability has been improved—you’ll feel bumps and loose surfaces more clearly.
✔ The truck’s handling on dirt roads is now more realistic and predictable.

🏁 Upcoming Demo News

We’ve gathered data from the playtest and are working on an updated demo version. It will be small, more like an extended playtest, but with a few new features we hope you’ll enjoy!

🎥 Playtest Gameplay Videos

Recently, we lifted the embargo on gameplay footage. Now you can see real, uncut gameplay! Here are some videos created by our players:
