Hello Drivers!
We are back! We have been hard at work on the next update for Truck & Logistics Simulator. Today we wanted to share a major part of our next update, force-feedback! Force-feedback is something we heard could be improved, so we decided to make it a major part of our next update! Full and proper force-feedback is coming to PC and consoles! We have completely re-created our force-feedback system for all platforms, enabling us to expand the amount of features it has! Additionally we have a special opportunity for our PC players, see below. Let's unpack!
- First we have proper road force simulation. You can now feel the forces applying to steering axles, as well as feel the different road textures your vehicles drive over, such as on a cobblestone road or dirt!
- Collision forces are up next! We heard you wanted to feel something at each impact of your vehicle. Proper collision simulation was created, whether you hit head on, or from the side!
- ABS and wheel traction forces are also now simulated! These forces help increase realism when driving, especially when braking or steering. With traction feel, you would be able to find the optimum steering point for best tire traction!
- Many more smaller forces have also been added, such as engine start, wheel push, and everything in between!

We are very pleased with the features we have been able to add to force-feedback for both PC and consoles. We are also working on fixes for wheels, especially Thrustmaster wheels force feedback issues!
However there are a LOT of wheels out there and we want to make sure that these new features work on as many wheels as possible. We need your help on PC to test wheels, see the details below!
PC Force-feedback Feedback Beta:
We only have a few wheels to test these new features on, so that is where you come in! If you play on PC and own any wheel that has force-feedback, from Hori and Logitech, to Thrustmaster, we would love to hear your feedback and assistance to iron out the kinks! If you are interested please join our Discord server and send a friend request to Meceka [SimulaGames] or Michael [Community Manager]. We look forward to hearing from you!
