Redefined Cargo System:
The update reworks how cargo and trailers are handled. Previously, each trailer-cargo combination was a unique, manually created model stored separately. Now, the system dynamically merges cargo with trailers using simplified rules. This makes it more efficient to add new content, reduces disk space usage, and lays the groundwork for potential future features like multi-stop deliveries.

Implementation of NVIDIA PhysX Physics Engine:  
A significant shift from the previous Bullet physics engine to NVIDIA PhysX for low-level physics simulation. This change improves collision detection and the behavior of vehicles during interactions with obstacles or other vehicles. Players might notice more precise physics, especially in scenarios like the Driving Academy, where objects (e.g., cones) no longer "levitate" slightly after collisions. It also provides developers with better debugging tools, which could lead to quicker bug fixes.

Truck Adjustment Menu Redesign:  
The user interface for adjusting truck components, such as seats and mirrors, has been revamped. This redesign aims to improve usability and accessibility, likely making it easier to fine-tune your truck setup.

Driving Academy Rewards:  
Completing challenges in the Driving Academy game mode (introduced in a prior update) now offers rewards. These could include in-game items or customization options, adding an incentive to engage with this feature.

Other Fixes and Visual Changes:  
The update includes various unspecified bug fixes and visual tweaks to enhance the overall experience. While not detailed explicitly, these are typical for Open Beta releases to improve stability and polish.

The 1.54 Open Beta is currently unavailable for Mac OS users, but it is expected to be released for the platform in the near future. So enjoy all the new additions, but please remember: It's only an open beta, not a stable public version - so you may encounter bugs, instability, or crashes. It's completely okay if you want to wait for the final release. But if you're interested in helping us to get there faster, we'll appreciate all of your feedback on our forum and your bug reports in the dedicated section.
