Idaho Discussion Thread

[Quark]

A road i'm looking forward to is NV-225/ID-51. I think this road is flying a little under the radar, many talk about ID-55, US-95, ID-75 and so on when it comes to the best road in the DLC but this road could well turn out to be a surprise. It has a proper lenght and some elevation changes, landscape is desert like for the
most part which i love no less than when everything is lush green. I guess Owyhee will be one of the scenic towns along that road, possibly one or two more, road
is long enough for that. Have there ever been any pictures of this route on the blog site or wherever else by the way, apart from the few in Mountain Home?
I can't recall that i've ever seen one. Haven't seen it in any of the gameplay videos either, but i also have to say that i only watched a few of them for a longer
time so as not to get too spoiled.

@Quark I was a member of RaceSimCentral. Hmm, it seems to be resurrected, sort of? Sadly not raced for a lot of years now.

No clue about RaceSimCentral to be honest Shiva since i'am a simracer for only 3 years. A google search revealed they pulled the plug already 2009, long
before i got into it. But yes there seems to be a new site with the same name though no idea how it has anything to do with the old RSC

[IonutL]

30% off, if you buy the bundle? That's a big discount for a fresh released DLC.

ABOUT THIS BUNDLE
Please note the bundle doesn't currently include the Idaho DLC.

You can purchase this bundle now and then again later to pay the difference and save 30% on this new map expansion for American Truck Simulator.

Its basically the west coast bundle (base game + Oregon dlc + Washington dlc + forest machinery dlc) with Idaho dlc and classic stripes paint pack. Now called Pacific Northwest bundle. It will be popular for sure.

I kinda hope they combine New Mexico, Colorado and Utah into a Four Corners bundle in the future .its easier to point my friends at bundles.

So only 8.4€ for the Idaho (if I have the rest of the bundle)? I guess they made it like this because the missing road connections. Nice!

The bundling seems to confirm the earlier assumption that SCS only views Idaho as a transit / "drive through" / "fly over" state—or "just" an eastwards extension of WA+OR, if you prefer. That is a little disappointing, because I'm sure Idaho is so much more than that, but as I've said before: If they added missing roads after release, it wouldn't be the first time for them to do so.

IIRC 8 or 9 bucks was the price I originally suggested on page 10 or so in this thread if Idaho came without any connection through Montana, so that seems pretty much as expected then. Much less risky a price point than we had thought for the past few days.

Still, I can't help but notice that the Montana connection would be particularly useful to those few (?) who buy only Idaho, not WA+OR. And yet strangely enough, those are the ones not benefiting from the bundle's rebate. Let's hope that the bundle convinces people out there to complete their collection.

I parked my truck in Ontario ready for the visual Idaho stateline to get opened today. Looking forward to it!!
