十多年来，路线顾问（Route Advisor）一直是公路上不离不弃的伙伴。它陪伴许多人度过了上千个小时、无数次送货，还有不止一次让人手心冒汗的停车尝试。改动这样一个大家如此熟悉的东西，从来都不是小事，我们也没有轻率对待。
For more than a decade, the Route Advisor has been a constant companion on the road. It’s been with many of you for thousands of hours, countless deliveries, and more than a few white-knuckle parking attempts. Changing something so familiar is never a small decision, and it’s not one we took lightly.
所以在谈改了什么之前，我们想先从最重要的问题说起：
So before we talk about what changed, we want to start with the most important question:
我们究竟为什么要改动路线顾问？
Why did we change the Route Advisor at all?
这些年来，卡车驾驶的核心体验变得越来越深入、越来越细致。卡车增加了更多系统，驾驶辅助变得更加精细；有些玩家的屏幕变小了，有些则变大了，操控方式也从键盘扩展到方向盘和手柄。
Over the years, the core truck driving experience has grown deeper and more detailed. Trucks gained more systems. Driving assists became more nuanced. Screens got smaller for some players, larger for others, and control methods expanded from keyboards to wheels and gamepads.
原有的路线顾问在很长一段时间里表现出色，但它已经走到一个临界点：再想成长，就难免变得杂乱、不清晰或处处受限。把越来越多的信息塞进单一面板，就意味着妥协：状态被藏起来、反馈缺失，以及开车时还要来回切换标签页。
The original Route Advisor did an incredible job for a long time, but it was reaching a point where it could no longer grow without becoming cluttered, unclear, or restrictive. Adding more and more information into a single panel meant compromises: hidden states, missing feedback, and tab switching while driving.
我们打造新路线顾问的目标，并不是改变你享受卡车驾驶的方式，而是要确保你在驾驶时所需的信息是：
- 清晰的
- 即时的
- 没有歧义的
- 能够适应你的游玩方式的
Our goal with the new Route Advisor was not to change how you enjoy truck driving. It was to make sure the information you need while driving is:
- Clear
- Immediate
- Unambiguous
- Adaptable to how you play
你现在看到的，正是这场改变的基础。
What you’re seeing now is the foundation of that change.
从一块面板到多个小部件：基于小部件的路线顾问
From One Panel to Many: A Widget-Based Advisor
新的路线顾问不再用一块紧凑面板包揽一切，而是由一个个独立的小部件组成，每个小部件只承担一个清晰明确的用途。
Instead of one compact panel trying to do everything, the new Route Advisor is built from individual widgets, each with a single, clear purpose.
这一转变让我们能为卡车司机做到三件重要的事：
- 在不拥挤的前提下显示更多驾驶关键信息
- 对卡车的实际状态给出清晰反馈
- 让你决定什么留在屏幕上、什么不留
This shift lets us do three important things for truck drivers:
- Show more driving-critical information without crowding
- Give clear feedback on what your truck is actually doing
- Let you decide what stays on screen, and what doesn’t
每个小部件都可以独立开关，你还能选择它出现的位置：
- 在车内视角
- 在车外视角
- 两者都显示
- 或者完全不显示
Each widget can be enabled or disabled independently, and you can choose whether it appears:
- in the interior view
- the exterior view
- both
- or not at all
如果你想要极简、沉浸的画面，很好；如果你想要更多一眼可见的反馈，同样很好。此外，F3 依然可以像以前一样关闭所有 UI 元素，同时保留通知显示。
If you want a minimal, immersive screen, great. If you want more at-a-glance feedback, also great. Furthermore, F3 remains as before to switch off all UI elements with notifications still being shown.
驾驶关键信息，放在最显眼处
Driving-Critical Information, Front and Centre
我们最看重的方向之一，是改善驾驶过程中的反馈，尤其是那些过去缺失、含糊，或只在有限视角下才能看到的信息。
One of our biggest focuses was improving feedback while driving, especially information that previously was missing, unclear, or only available in limited views.
现在更显眼、也更容易读取的内容：
- 车速
- 当前挡位
- 燃油状态
- 休息倒计时
What is now more visible and easier to read:
- Speed
- Selected gear
- Fuel status
- Time to rest
现在首次显示的内容：
- 发动机转速
- 距离必须休息的准确时间
- 完成本次送货的剩余时间
- 卡车系统指示
What is now displayed for the first time:
- Engine RPM
- Exact time until rest is required
- Time remaining to complete a delivery
- Truck systems indicators
无论你是在驾驶室内视角，还是使用车外摄像机，这些信息都可用，因此你不必再靠猜来判断卡车正在做什么。
This information is available whether you’re driving from the cabin or using an exterior camera, so you’re never guessing what your truck is doing.
卡车系统的清晰反馈
Clear Feedback on Truck Systems
现代卡车依赖许多主动系统，但在此之前，哪些系统开着、哪些关着、哪些只是部分介入，并不总是那么一目了然。
Modern trucks rely on many active systems, but until now, it wasn’t always obvious which ones were on, off, or partially engaged.
新的指示器（Indicators）小部件会为以下系统提供即时的视觉反馈：
- 定速巡航（包括其设置）
- 发动机制动与缓速器挡位
- 车道辅助与车道偏离警示
- 灯光、远光灯、双闪与警示灯
- 驻车制动、挂车制动与差速锁
- 雨刷与气动制动压力
The new Indicators widget provides immediate visual feedback for systems such as:
- Cruise control (including its settings)
- Engine brake and retarder levels
- Lane assist and lane departure warning
- Lights, high beams, hazards, beacons
- Parking brake, trailer brake, differential lock
- Wipers and air brake pressure
图标只在系统启用时出现，这样既保持画面干净，又确保没有重要信息被藏起来。
Icons appear only when systems are active, keeping the screen clean while ensuring nothing important is hidden.
更直观地理解损伤
A Better Way to Understand Damage
损伤反馈也重新做过了。
Damage feedback has also been reworked.
过去，损伤主要以百分比显示，但这些数字并不总能说明损伤究竟意味着什么。现在，UI 不再只给一个抽象数值，而是会显示某个系统何时损伤到开始出现故障。
Previously, damage was shown mainly as percentages, but those numbers didn’t always explain what that damage actually meant. Now, instead of an abstract value, the UI shows when a system is damaged enough to start malfunctioning.
换句话说：
- 你不只知道某个地方坏了
- 你知道新的损伤是什么时候发生的，而且这一变化会被清楚标出
- 你知道它什么时候会开始影响卡车的操控表现
In other words:
- You don’t just know that something is damaged
- You know when new damage occurs, with the change clearly highlighted
- You know when it will start affecting how your truck behaves
这样既能给出更清晰的反馈、更恰当的紧迫感，又不会带来多余的干扰。
This gives clearer feedback and a better sense of urgency, without unnecessary distraction.
通知：告诉你，但不淹没你
Notifications That Inform Without Overwhelming
通知现在集中在屏幕的专属区域，并按重要程度用颜色区分：
- 警报（Alerts）
- 警告（Warnings）
- 公告（Announcements）
Notifications now live in a dedicated area of the screen and are colour-coded by importance:
- Alerts
- Warnings
- Announcements
同一时间只显示一条通知，既让你保持知情，又不会淹没视野；同时也避免重要信息分散在多个位置互相争夺注意力。
Only one notification appears at a time, helping you stay informed without flooding your view. This also prevents important messages from fighting for attention in multiple places.
自动泊车，更克制
Automatic Parking, Refined
自动泊车辅助经过重新设计，介入更少，也更可选。
Automatic parking assistance has been redesigned to be less intrusive and more optional.
它不再以一整块反复出现的文字提醒来打扰你，而是变成一个小巧的专属小部件（见下图高亮处），低调而清楚地告知你有这个选项；不需要它的老玩家可以完全关闭。
Instead of repeated reminders in a distracting block of text, it now appears as a small, dedicated widget (highlighted below) that subtly communicates the option clearly, and can be disabled entirely by experienced drivers who don’t need it.
快速信息菜单的角色
The Role of the Quick Info Menu
为减少干扰，有些信息被刻意从实时驾驶 HUD 中移走：
- 详细的任务信息
- 损伤百分比
- 车辆调整与服务
Some information has been intentionally moved away from the live driving HUD to reduce distraction:
- Detailed job information
- Damage percentages
- Vehicle adjustments and services
这些信息现在集中到“快速信息”（Quick Info）菜单中，同时这里还有：
- 操控说明
- 更便捷的设置入口
- 拍照模式
- 小部件选项
- 当地法规
This information is now centralised in the Quick Info menu, alongside:
- Control references
- Easier access to settings
- Photo mode
- Widget Options
- Local regulations
这样做的用意是分区：
- 驾驶 HUD → 开车时需要的东西
- 快速信息菜单 → 更深入的背景信息与配置
The intent here is separation:
- Driving HUD → what you need while driving
- Quick Info menu → deeper context and configuration
这是基础，而不是最后一步
This Is a Foundation, Not a Final Step
我们想让大家放心：新的路线顾问会持续改进。得益于这个新基础，增加更多小部件、进一步打磨以及加入自定义选项都成为可能；我们希望把这件事做好，为了每一个人。
We want to reassure everyone that the new Route Advisor will continue to be improved.
Additional widgets, refinements, and customisation options are all possible because of this new foundation, and we intend to get this right, for everyone.
