[ARCHIVED] SCS General Discussion Thread

Congrats to the british/english for the successful brexit.

lets hope more come after your example

[ohaha]

The game isn't fortunately called "European Union Truck Simulator"

dude, I just said that on facebook, like one hour ago, without reading the steam post...

But Switzerland and Norway isn't in EU.

Conspiracy theory time... Ohaha is in fact Timmy!

[Axel Slingerland]

And now the Texans are seeing the news of the UK leaving the EU, and they're thinking "Texit"... [ external image ]

That would save us from another desert DLC

Well as the New States threads' that pop up have proven, the ATS player community cannot agree on which State should be done next.

Some want New Mexico, some want Oregon because theres actually trees not just sand. And some want that missing Lego piece that is Utah filled in, with its 4 whole speculated cities.

Hopefully the 389 comes with the re-scale. That will buy them some time with most of the community so they can make some more stuff in peace. Well, unless the re-scale becomes Arizona II: The Trolls Return.

Some people say that they released ATS too early. Fact of the matter is, sometimes in business you need to take a risk. Need to spend some money to make money. I suppose that the demand for it mixed with the fact they wanted to see how it would do, convinced them to release early. It was a risk, but it clearly has paid off. Especially if they are expanding the dev team. That wont exactly mean faster releases. It will mean more quality though I think.

This is excellent news. Something I'm happy to wait for.

Some people say that they released ATS too early........

IMO, yes! the risk has paid off. If ATS' launch were to be delayed by another year & SCS would have added another 4-5 states at 1:35 scale, it'd have been a big disaster. Major issues like small map scale, intersections, smaller on/off ramps, time fly-by, etc. would have still cropped up & it would have been a nightmare for SCS to fix it then (7-8 states). This would have adversely affected the rest of the paid DLCs, the route SCS plans to take, as there would have been less takers. ATS could have set SCS back financially, emotionally.

Good news is, that didn't happen. The re-scale is the best decision SCS has taken this year. Looking at how AZ was built, ATS mappers & 3D artists, now have more freedom & space to showcase their skills.

Conspiracy theory time... Ohaha is in fact Timmy!

ohaha, the duck thief?

I really hope they make the added roads in the rescale have more realistic corners. Ever since early ETS2, the corners are just too sharp. The same in ATS. It's only driveable due to the watered down physics.

The pro mods autobahns are a good example of what a motorway/freeway/interstate should look like. Lots of straight, and long gentle corners and hills.

That back road from Bakersfield towards Barstow, which looks like a roller coaster, nobody would EVER build a road like that
