Lol. Routes like the above mentioned, I avoid like the plaque. I don't entertain jobs that makes more sense to do with the missing state. I can just wait but I'll note those 2 cities and make sure I someday make that trip. But that's the C-shaped route that I'll never do.

With WY, I meant Yellowstone National Park.
If you did watch my links in the posts above yours, you would have seen I had US-14 from Cody to Redbull, wait, Greybull, in.
I try to have Cody as a NOT Dead End, with 2 different routes to/from it.
See, Cody not a dead end, even w/o Yellowstone.

BUT Sheridan to CDA is pretty absurd right now though. IRL that route via I-90 is 638 miles for 9h7m. Using the in-game route IRL via I-25, WYO-220, US-287, I-80, I-84, I-82, US-395, and I-90 takes 19h12m and 1304 miles IRL. More than double :lol: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sherida ... 734632!3e0

The game might route you through US-95 though instead of going to Washington. Either way it's a pretty ridiculous detour.
Current ingame route, well, shorter, not faster, would be https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sherida ... 734632!3e0 1110miles.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sherida ... 734632!3e0 1233miles and 5minutes longer than your example.

And when Montana DLC is released https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sherida ... 734632!3e0 638miles.

It wouldn't look good, there should be a connection to the west. Although having WY-120 would be nice, there are still more important roads that should be added to the game.

but for those who do not like highways, this is a dream road) to wade through secondary roads))

in ETS2, the situation is exactly the same)) if not worse))
with the release HoR, we will get for example Istanbul (Turkey)-Bryansk (Russia) 3 600km and 47h for small cars)) for a heavily loaded truck 65h)) https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.9493 ... e0!1m0!3e0
vs if we had the first Ukraine- only 1600 km and 21.5h) or 27h for trucks) https://www.google.com/maps/dir/41.0020 ... m2!4m1!3e0
almost triple difference))

I agree with ads678 and that is the point I'm making. The gap everyone is complaining about will be there no matter what unless we get US-14 from YS to Sheridan. Cody is the bonus. Marked or not. The point its to eliminate the gap. Not just add Cody. We can get from Greybull to Cody and leave it as a dead end. Not much of an issue. That at the least should have happened day one. But since we didn't even get Cody, that makes US-20 in YS have an ugly gap without US-14.

US-14 is no different than US-34 that we got in Colorado. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.0906 ... !3e0?hl=en. Its a short cut and its thru a nation park that isn't meant for commercial thru traffic. If SCS did it here annnnnd in Yosemite, why not consider it for Yellowstone which is the most popular national part in the world.

US-34 in Colorado? There I wish they had done CO-14 instead.

Well, it would be 100% legal.
How would it look with Montana?
+ it still could be possible to do a special transport depot in/at Yellowstone National Park, if space permits.

Regarding Cody, has anyone tried to check how it could look in ingame/ingame maps?
How small or big would it be?

That's an easy detour, I remember seeing in the news in Australia due to a couple of accident the only detour was 48 hours or so, across the middle of the country, up and back around lol :D

It only looks bad when you look at the map. Irl there is no commercial trucking route from Cody to the west or southwest, so the picture you shared would be the most realistic option.

It might look better when Montana releases, but also kinda depends on whether we get US-310 (and possibly US-14 ALT).

I don't mind dead ends that much. The view on the way back is always different than the outward trip.
