Poll: Choose (3) States you would like to see next
Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
I think with smaller states they can release them individually quicker. Testing will also take less time. They just have to get through Wyoming, Texas and Montana and then we go into the medium size states. 3 a year would be possible, perhaps 4. Once we get to the small states that’s when bundling starts in my opinion. I would say Washington size is the best bundle size, as the east is dense like Washington .
Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
Evil_Jason, I agree on some bundles, while I disagree on some other bundles.
For example.
North and South Carolina I would have put in one DLC.
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware in another.
Florida and Georgia? They could either come separate or in a bundle.

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
I finally looked at the .txt file. Honestly, I disagree with some of those bundles as well. I don't think the road network and cities are taken into account. Its all size driven and you can't do that with the East. Its too dense and compact. Some of it I agree with though. When bundles are based in sq miles/km, that is where the issue lies for me. You have to analyze the roads and the cities, not the state's overall size because SCS does not map the entire state.
-Kansas/Nebraska are probably solo states. There are too busy road wise to be combined unless multiple map team are on it.
-Dakotas. Most everyone agrees here so that is cool.
-Minnesota should be a solo state. It and anything else is too big unless you put multiple map teams on it.
-Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama is a very weird shaped map. Ark/Louisiana/Mississippi makes a little more sense.
-the Carolinas should definitely stick together.
There's no right or wrong at the end of the day though. We'll all have opinions and rejections. But linear, doesn't work well with most of the community. Most have agreeded on a boxed map style.

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
I almost posted something here yesterday, but now we have 100% confirmation. Texas is next. So the poll is 100% valid now. I don't expect Texas this year honestly. If you are optimistic, great for ya. But believe me, Texas is huge and if the devs pack it with detail like I know they can, it will take timmmmmme. If Iberia was anything to go by, expect Texas to be in the same boat. A lot of time from now til Oct/Nov but this one has Q1/Q2 2022 all over it to me......just as I assumed months ago. If we get it sooner, great but at least I won't get my expectations up. It could be a complete surprise. I'd rather the complete surprise be the new 579 on the cover or 1-2 industry cargo packs. Heck, I'll take all three, lol.
But what I was gonna post yesterday is.......up til today, the top 1 & 2 most requested states since I started this poll as been the states that come. I figured if any state broke that trend, it would be Texas. Mannnn, I sure hope the pattern goes:

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
So, announcement is %100 meaning that the next state is TX? They can not "fit" a Montana with another team in 2021?
Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
Correct. Next 2 states are Wyoming and Texas.

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
@clifflandmark No, i don't think so. How should that work? They are fully commited to Texas they want to release Texas in roughly one year so they certainly have a HUGE team working on it. Probably 20 mappers or even more just like Pavel had indicated a few times in the past that are necessary during full production. We have Wyoming in the pipeline which is in full production as well which means another 7-9 mapper or so + the base map rework team that probably consists of 2-4 mapper. We know there are about 30 mappers for ATS so added up, there would probably no one left. Also, in the blog they wrote:
be assembled now, there would never be enough time to finish it by the end of the year. Montana is huge, almost as big as California or similar in size as Utah
and Washington combined. Also, it's a state that is not easy to map. One third of the state is high mountain trerrain and although the other two thirds are
commonly considered to belong to the Great Plains the actual terrain is anything but plain in reality. Lots of mesas, hills, gorges, you cannot really compare it
with the Landscape in eastern Colorado for example.
This confirms there is no proper map team working on another state at the moment. Even in the unlikely case that a complete team for Montana could somehowWe are excited to confirm that we have two U.S. states under full production, as our production pipeline continues to speed up and our team grows.

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
After Texas I’m hoping for Montana. I hope they keep tying to box it up. But even if hey go straight for Florida once they get there the states to the north still have to be added.
Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
Pavel did acknowledge us fans that does not want a hockey stick map. Lets hope he honors that and sets aside b-lining to Florida. Although the states are smaller and you get thru them faster, its still corridor driving. At least get us I-10, I-20, I-30 and I-40 C2C. The better the box, the happily the fans will be. SCS should continue to develop the map in multiple directions though and keep a stair going. That's the best compromise.

Re: Poll: Choose (2) States you would like to see next
As much as I'd like them to B-Line it over and start working on the East coast, I would much rather see them Continuing to build it as a wall so to speak.I think the staircase method also causes some Corridors that you get stuck in. I just have to sit here waiting patiently for the states I am familiar with.
