road topography

[rock1966]

Why doesn't the topography of virtually all the freeways follow the REAL roads, in REAL life???? They are completely incorrect!!!! Much too much UPHILL, and not nearly enough DOWNHILL. Please redo the roads...

Because the game is a 1:20 scale model of real life.

uphill is exactly equal to downhill

hint: you can turn around and go the other way

What goes up must come down somewhere sometimes.

Funny I have turned around and gone on a return trip on the exact same roads. It is MOSTLY uphill in BOTH DIRECTIONS! We all know, in real life, that is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

I agree! Too bad that is not the case with ATS!

I've asked SCS and they never respond, which is weird! I've also asked Alex and friends when they are on LIVE, and they have never responded. Odd...

I am absolutely sure that if you climb from point A at 10 meters to point B at 1000 meters, going back to point A will bring you back at 10 meters. That's how geometry works.

Could you make a video of that, or just tell us roads you used? I'm sure that long time truckers that know map as the palm of their hand will explain you.

Yeah, meaning elevation data should be scaled the same way. So any hills we have in the game should have the grade same or similar to real life.
