SCS will eventually get better at making roads and more details, so i will include the City too.

Yes, but if SCS change their minds they might do a different scale in possibly 2025 or 2030.

Considering how far SCS has gotten with ETS2 and ATS, it is highly unlikely they will do another rescale. The only reason they did a rescale for ATS is because it was originally on a 1:35 scale because they were doing ATS as an "experiment" to see if it would succeed like ETS2 did. Once they realized that the demand for a North American based truck simulator was there, they committed to it full time by rescaling the map to the same size as ETS2. Since 1:20 is the scale that SCS committed to after all these years with all of the map DLCs and updates, it would be extremely tedious and inefficient to rescale it all again.

Can’t go into downtown Atlanta anyways like Seattle. They will never rescale again with existing ATS map.

Some observations as a truck driver that has had a lot of trips through and to Atlanta:

I-285 is the primary artery. Trucks are only allowed inside the 285 loop for servicing customers or accessing facilities/parking. A truck just passing through is required to use 285 to go around the city rather than stay on the main Interstates through Atlanta.

Because of this rule, access to Atlanta for out of town drivers is less about the roads through town and more of branching routes off of 285 to various different customers.

My typical Atlanta visit is to travel around 285 to the closest point to my delivery, follow a truck route to my specific customer, unload, drive back to 285, go to the Blue Beacon by the ATL Petro Stopping Center for s trailer washout, park at the Petro until it's time for my next pickup, go around on 285 to near my customer, pickup, return to 285, circle the city to Interststes 20, 75, or 85 toward my next destination.

There's not much travel ITP.

For those that have ETS2, maybe something similar to... Rennes? for those ITP travels?
