Rebuild base map: Start a kickstarter funding campaign - What do you think about this idea?
More and more game projects are being successfully financed by Kickstarter.
Therefore, I would suggest a Kickstarter campaign to renew the base map.
Then SCS would have the financial incentive to renew the old map parts.
Such a campaign can be highly successful. As an example, the game Gold Rush on Kickstarter took 12 times more money than the funding target.

I guess the assumption is that SCS would actually be interested in a funding campaign and would think it doable (considering their other plans/planning).
If that would be true (which I highly doubt, to be honest) I would certainly want to contribute. Quality difference between old and new areas in ETS2 is huge, and the update of the "old" part of France showed that it's possible to improve old areas a lot.

Finances is not the main issue with SCS I am sure. They don't have the bodies to make that 2nd team. The goal for SCS is to have 2 teams for both ETS2 and ATS. SCS already stated that they plan to have a dedicated team to rework the old map. They need people that are willing to be employed at SCS. Lets say this kickstarter idea of yours makes 1 million. That 1 million will mean nothing if they still don't have bodies to rebuild the map. The map is done with man hours, not by money coming in every hour.
My post are only thoughts and ideas. Don't assume it makes ATS.

@klauzzy. Well yeah. I work because it's boring at home, lol. I just came off of a 7 day vacation not including the weekends. I was maxed out on my pto so I needed to burn hrs. I didn't do a darn thing but sit on my but and stay on this forum. When Nov 8th came @5pm Czech time (10am my time), I was downloading NM/1.29 and updating ATS from the last time I played, which was Feb. I played ATS for about 6-8 hrs per day from Nov 8-14th, lol. Had it not been for this site and ATS, I would have either been forced to do house work or be bored. Other alternative was to just go back to work. Was not gonna happen with NM and 1.29 releasing, lol.

Its not about hiring map designers. Nobody else apart from SCS staff and modders use the SCS Map Editor. Therefore any new map designers have to be trained from scratch which takes time and money.
