So now that 1.50 Experimental Beta has been officially released I just wanted to update you all with what to expect.
My ETS2 Trailer mod update is pretty much ready to go. But I plan to run it through the new conversion tools for 1.50 which will mean the mod will be limited to 1.50 due to changes in the SCS files. It WILL NOT work on older versions due to the new conversion tools.

Yorkshire Tea – Now includes Yorkshire Gold DAF E6 skins.
Are now all available on Steam Workshop. All of these mods (except Yorkshire Tea) are now Workshop exclusives. Yorkshire Tea will remain on the blog and workshop.
American Sweets combo has also been updated but will remain a blog exclusive due to the fact it was made by request of the original company owners.
Those who follow my FB group will know that I have been working on updating AWJ for a little while now, today we finally get to release it.
This mod is now a workshop exclusive and the new update includes:
Continue reading A.W. JenkinsonBefore I get into the main reason for the update, I would like to say that some mods will be getting added to the workshop as well.
In 1.43 SCS changed some def information relating to axles on trucks and trailers for compatibilty with future features.
Presently (up to 1.42) the following lines in the def files were as follows:
liftable and/orsteerable axle: X (rear most axle)
liftable and/or steerable axle: X (middle axle)
liftable and/or steerable axle: X (front axle)
This has now been switched around so that the front axle is now at the top of the list and rear most at the bottom. While the change is minor, it does mean all trucks trailer mods using liftable and/or steerable axles need updating.
Below is a list of all my mods affected and updated.

McBurney got an update to fix potential issues.
Keedwell also got a bug fix with the AI combo and also got uploaded to Steam Workshop.
I had a tiny bit of free time so I updated the first batch of mods for the texture issues that came with 1.41.
The updated mods are:
Children in Need
Club
Green Group
Listers of Halifax
Marshalls
Nestlé
Yorkshire Tea
Marshalls PLC mod has been updated
Updated Cargo Textures for 1.39
Updated trailer wheels (using wrong/old ones)
Updated Volvo 09 vertex paint.
Updated old textures for brick trailer cargo to 1.39
Swapped some small trailer wheels from mods for SCS version.
Moving forward I probably won’t be announcing on the blog when I update Workshop mods. Those of you who subscribe will know when they update, so I think posting here about them isn’t really necessary. As it stands all ATS/ETS2 mods on Workshop are 1.38 compatible.
As for the site I’ve pushed through a few updates.
The following mods have been updated for the 1.37 Open Beta build that released when SCS release Open Beta. In most cases the updates are just for 1.37 changes, but there are a few bug fixes and updates. Some mods may have new skins for OT (mostly my custom trailer).
The blog mods are already in my google drive folder ready to be sync’d.
By now some of you will know that SCS pushed out a public beta update on Friday. This public beta includes a couple of changes to Volvo 2012 and Renault Magnum.
From a modding perspective these are good changes, they have made the front grill accessories. I have already made painted grills for both trucks that will be included in my Truck Accessory Pack.
Over the coming days I will be updating the Stobart Truck Skin Pack, to make the skins work with the painted grills. The Malcolm skins and JR Dixon skins are already updated.
What exactly has changed with the Volvo? Previously the SCS Volvo grills were tied to engine type. This is not longer the case. The silver and black grills are now accessories and can be selected in the shop separately from the engine. Only the FH badge will change based on engine type.
