Texas Discussion Thread
Re: Texas Discussion Thread
Nope, not much you can do with I-35 or Texas in general. Most of the Great Plains will be straight roads for the most part. For me, I wouldn't call Temple or Killeen painful though. But by far, I-35 will be the busiest stretch of interstate in Texas per square mile. Texas is big but at 1:20 scale it still has its limitations. So people shouldn't expect more things to fit just because of its size.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
1 good thing to Killeen is that it only takes 1 exit from I-35. But that exit is not a small one.
If Temple in and US-190 too, then this could have been an option for roads with depots for that area https://www.google.com/maps/dir/31.0757 ... m1!1b1!3e0

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
If Killeen is in, I see its best benefit is getting West off the I-35 corridor via a backroad. The junction to get to Killeen isn't too bad actually. Its smaller than the one you see in the big cities when transitioning to another major interchange. For example I-10 @ I-37. Temple could possible support 1 depot and the rest be in Killeen. We'd get I-14 as a very short interstate. It would be like I-11 in Nevada coming into Vegas. Killen has retail depots that it can support. Nothing ground breaking. US-190/I-14 connecting West would help with road density and detours though. At the same time, I wouldn't be too upset if Killeen doesn't make it. Either way, Killeen is cool with me.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
Just like how they do microregions with marked cities (Kennewick/Pasco, WA or Provo/Orem/Spanish Fork, UT), they could do this with scenery cities no?
They could combine Temple, Benton, Killeen and perhaps Copperas Cove into one bigger scenic area. They could also just make it a marked microregion if there is sufficient space.
That said, we are already pretty sure that Lampasas is in the game as a scenery town, so that leaves less space for the towns named above.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
@ SCS
I want to suggest to implement
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION
in Fortworth.
They have a huge facility with an own airport.
Aircrafts like C-130J Super Hercules, F-16, F-35 are manufactured there.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
SCS have stated before that they wont including military locations as anything more than scenery in the game for whatever reason, so I don't think Lockheed will show up. We might get the buildings if they're close enough to the highway, or it might even become Darwing and be retconned into making purely commercial planes like we have in Washington. But its very very unlikely we're going to be delivering military things there either way.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
@Kirmes-Truck If you look on page one, I already have that marked as a potential spot so its already been suggested almost a year ago. Despite me already knowing ATS won't get any military. However, Lockheed does have a couple of helicopters that could be in that are not military based which is why I marked it. No war planes would ever make the game but the helicopters could. The better option would actually be Bell Helicopter also in Ft. Worth. I don't think either would come though.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
The C130 also exist as civil versions.
LOCKHEED MARTIN also is in the Gaming industry if we count the flightsim software Prepare3D.
I think that after SCS represented Boeing in Seattle, it is ok to represent also Lockheed Martin.
Also you know that Boeing and Airbus are one of the biggest military suppliers in the world.
Foe example Boeing develops drones, missiles, military vehicles, like Boeing 737-P8 Poseidon, 767-KC-46 Pegasus and much more.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
In ATS military is not represented though is what we are saying. Doesn't matter if Boeing does military. What we have if their passenger plane part. That's the difference. Lockheed may be in other games but ATS is ATS, not other games.

Re: Texas Discussion Thread
Does it mean that there is no chance of us getting airplane boneyards with CA/AZ rework? Pretty sure they're all next to military bases and there is no dedicated civilian-only yards.
