Iberia Discussion

[JavitoSeinG]

The A63 autovia there is an excess of tolls in very short stretches.
There are more than 7 tolls on a section of 200km.
I think you have gone a little of your hands.

Have you ever been in real life in this zone?
I think that no.
I am from neat Bayonne and first, A63 is not autovia its autopista and in real life you have much toll too.

Wow the A24 is created like a DLC should be, proper landscaping, well done. The landscaping of the rest of Iberia is not impressive at all, hopefully in the future there will be huge rebuildings, by SCS or Promods, because honestly, this DLC was one big disappointment so far (except for the A24 now)

A24 makes Portugal more look complete now.

The landscape of the DLC should not be impressive or not impressive. Should be what it is IRL. All the parts of the DLC that I know well from real life because I drove by there frequently, SCS NAILED them.

Of course, you are free to like or dislike the looks of some places; but don't expect them to create what there's not IRL.

There's also your subjective experience driving around those roads. Some roads on the DLC I find very accurate, others I do not.

[Some newbie driver]

Of course, I didn't event pretend to say they are all completely accurate. It's probable that they are some that aren't so much (or none at all). But that doesn't mean that, if they were all 100% accurate, they will be "impressive" in the subjective scale of anyone of us. They had not to be impressive, they had to be just as they are.

Well I agree, but for me, impressive mostly means detailed and realistic. I therefore don't really like Scandinavia or the Alps, but I do like detailed places in less intense hilled areas in newer DLC's like RttBS or Iberia. I love realism and therefore having ugly-but-realistic things like graffiti or cracks in roads are major plusses for me, more than high mountains or steep roads.

Well, the step roads has been discussed lots of times since the DLC release. Lot of people complained about the "lack" of steps roads. Impressions are very subjective and everybody has their own. I'm not going to say if some places look "hilly" enough; but I've another way to measure it.

I'm hauling all kind of cargoes (except heavy ones, because the truck isn't suited for them) like before. I'm using the same truck in that profile since I could bought it. It had already 100.000 km in the odometer (almost round number, really) when they released Iberia. I've been able to do near 20.000km more (I've only exit Iberia when teleport to Milano twice due updates, and immediately returned to Iberia).

Well, what I've seen is that my fuel consume is 4 points over the average I had before entering Iberia (over 32 l/100mk now VS over 28l/100km before). Such a high fuel consume change with so many Km (so, not a simple statistic fluctuation) means something very clear: Iberia HAS A LOT of stepped roads.

...or a lot of roundabouts...

[Some newbie driver]

Lots? I would say SCS has saved us from lots of them compared whit IRL.
