Utah is dropping soon, as well as one or two new trucks (there's an International dealership in the beta). DX9 is being dropped and will only be DX11 going forward, FMOD will be added at some point, graphics overhaul at some point, Texas coming eventually, you'll be able to see your driver(s) on the map (but not on the road), new AA method (SMAA) in the upcoming update.

Lots of info in the livestream from a couple days ago.

Neat didn't know they did live stream, do you think they will put more support in for vr with dx11?

Now I've gotta set aside 5 hrs to watch, oh well better go get some snacks

I don't think it's actually five hours, there's some dead space at the end and the important stuff starts around 2:30.

Early reports say graphics seem to be better and smoother in 1.36 and anti-aliasing is a bit better so hopefully VR will improve a bit too. I spent a lot of time tinkering with settings over the weekend and got mine looking quite good in VR so any improvement will be really nice.
