I saw CO and ID assets in map editor in 1.36 for 2020 Colorado and Idaho seemed next map dlc for 2020. Idaho will be nice to link Tremonton UT to Ontario OR with I-84 it will save time going to New Mexico destinations.

Hey everyone!

I vote for Idaho and Texas, although I'd be okay with either Colorado or Texas as the next new state after Idaho.

But what I *really* want for the next "new states", is a completely rebuilt, burnt down to the ground and started from scratch, California and Nevada. Parts of Arizona could really use a facelift as well, and IMO some of the cities in AZ need to be re-arranged. With Oregon, Washington, and soon Utah in place and looking the way they do, it just makes the original base map look awful. I'd really, really like for SCS' map teams to focus on completely reconstructing CA and NV and bringing them up to OR/WA/UT quality before moving on to Colorado or Texas.

I'm looking forward to Colorado. The mix of mountainous terrain and flat plains make it such a beautiful state. Plus its nice to see (virtually) what the western end of I-70 looks like since I live about 10 mins away from the eastern end. Over here the end is just a park & ride. Boooooo lol.

Drop them a few hundred thousand dollars and they may consider it. There's no money to be made in this, so they aren't going to spend a year redoing old parts of the map.
I imagine that like ETS2 they'll slowly rebuild the old states to bring them up to current standards.

What if someone actually give SCS a few hundred thousand dollars to rebuild CA AZ and NV? I don't know the people who play ATS, but what if one of those people is a big fan of ATS and he also happens to be a millionaire... I mean there are quite some people who give money to all kind of kickstarter project, and there are also a lot of companies who give money as sponsor. So why not? It's not that impossible. :D

Money is not the issue. SCS has stated that before. Its about manpower. Someone could throw a billion at them but if there is no one to do it and keep pace with current projects, there is nothing that can be done.

I someone threw a billion at them, I guess they could hire all the manpower to finish the USA in a month.
I'd do it, but unfortunately I'm a billion short LOL

That still won't work, lol. They can't just hire anyone. Not if we want the same SCS quality and standards we are currently getting.

Even when they do find mappers to hire, they have to spend time to train them with the map the editor and the work flow of the projects. ;)

Yep, so that takes us back to square one. Just let SCS do what SCS does, lol. They work in a manner that works for them. We just have to accept the pace the work.
