[UPD][REL] Project Better Arizona 0.4.2.1 - Nov 30, 2024 - 1.53

[AzNate]

Hello everyone, I am proud to announce my map project for American Truck Simulator, Project Better Arizona! Project Better Arizona is a project that aims to improve and add to Arizona in American Truck Simulator. I plan to work on improving existing parts of Arizona such as Phoenix, Tucson, and Kingman and add some new cities to the state as well. Cities that I plan to add are Gila Bend, Payson, Prescott, Casa Grande, and more! I would love to hear suggestions for the project as well as constructive feedback on the project so I can improve my work.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, you can post them below or join the project's Discord server: https://discord.gg/YPVX3BvMJb

Screenshots look awesome!
Quick suggestion. Southwestern Arizona is perfect right now with the Reforma (preciously Pazz) Mod. Hopefully your project will be compatible so they can both be used at the same time.
Thank you for all your hard work

I agree with the Reforma compatibility, most of us use it

Yes, I don't plan on touching the areas that Reforma have done in Arizona and I do plan on having it be compatible as I also really enjoy using it.

I have created a Trello to show my plans and progress for the mod. Currently, everything confirmed on the Trello is what I plan on adding, however, things are subject to change. Here's the link: https://trello.com/b/nxSNphjh/project-better-arizona

Looking forward to this. Thank you

Awesome. I always felt that Arizona was lacking in this game.

I'm happy to announce that the first public release of Better Arizona will be coming this month! The main addition with this release is the town of Gila Bend and I've also done some minor edits to Interstate 17 in Phoenix. I know that this initial release may seem small, but I plan to add more with each major update. (I've updated the Trello to show my plans for each big update)
