NEW LIST OF STATES?

[Mohegan13]

I feel the same way about Quebec. I think i'll be in for a bit of a wait though.

[pigbrother]

I feel the same way about anything at this point really.

[Voltaire1971]

So true

I am looking forward to San Francisco -> Denver via I-80 /-15 /-70. Sure, that`s a decent way in the future, but one may dream.

[Chrodazar]

do these new states come with street names?

[Blackspots]

No, why would they come with street names? (other than highway numbers)

Shirblackspots, I was gonna reply the same thing. But looking at the latest SCS blog for NM, I held that thought. Check out the pic with the railroad crossing. It has a street name on the traffic light. I don't see SCS doing this for every street in the game. That would be one heck of a coordination task. Perhaps that is just a render to make the shot look good. I can't see them providing signs for NM and not for the existing content.

[Frontiersman]

Slightly off topic, I really dig the look of NM. In that shot you mention flight50, did you notice the display caboose? Nice touch.

[flight50]

I agree with the way NM looks. I actually just noticed the caboose now that you pointed it out. I wonder if that city is Santa Fe. A lot of detail went into that shot though. I am sure rr crossing in cities, this will be the standard at crossings. It look kick a$$. Arizona set the overall dlc level and now New Mexico raised the bar. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I am sure it will be topped in the future as SCS get better and moves eastward to more congested highways systems in a smaller square mile per area footprint. The West is all open compared to the Midwest and the East. It will be interesting how SCS deals with the complexity.

For fun, when I have free time, I have been photoshoping new cities and highways that I predict SCS will give us. So far, I have mapped out all the Western and Mountain states. I am basing guesses off city population and I am only mapping interstates and state highways that interconnect. I am sure SCS will give us some FM type roads that link towns and cities just as they currently do. So far, based on population, I predict SCS will give us 15-20 cities in each of my completed states. Texas on the other hand will kill SCS to develop. It's easily 30-40 cities, lol with a mad highway system that will be needed.

@flight50 You mean something like... this?

I spent three days straight making this, but I'm proud. Here it is:

If Mantrid can pull this off I will be genuinely impressed.

Montana and Wyoming along with the Dakotas six cites in each state at most. The reason Wyoming has less people than Salt Lake County in Utah. Use Nevada population as cut off for states having more than six cities, and state size factor in too also. Dont want cities on top of each other at all. Texas should have twenty cities at most similar to France DLC.
