Poll: Choose (3) States you would like to see next

Yeah the US is pretty much land locked. There are several in British Columbia Canada at least. Washington also has a few more but without Canada, it won't get us far. All in all, ATS could have about 7-9 perhaps.

Louisiana is what I have been wanting to see and maybe Nebraska

It is pretty scenic with New Orleans at the basin

There's really no better place to share this than this thread, but I came across this video which shows that Manitoulin Island in Ontario is a legitimate trucking option for ATS, even though ON-6 gets down to a one lane bridge when approaching Little Current from the north: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3yA1JN3pcQ

Still think that doing Southern Ontario (Sault Ste. Marie to Sudbury to Ottawa being the northern extent), or maybe even all of Ontario since Northern Ontario wouldn't have a ton of substance remaining, before New York is a good idea. Trucks might go around the lakes IRL but in the game it would be nice to have border-hopping be an option.

[flight50]

By time Ontario can make ATS, more than 75% of the US should be in. I'd love to border hop at that time. I agree before the Northeast is started, one of the map teams should go across the boarder to start adding a different vibe to ATS. Canada is probably easier than Mexico because of how similar the culture is compared to Mexico. Several of the same national US companies also exist in Canada. So there are assets that can be recycled for some things..

The Great Lakes in the US is a great reason to start in Ontario Canada too. Build around that economy in Canada and then SCS can go East or West as they wish from Ontario.

I mean it makes sense, but with that logic SCS would've done BC right after Washington.

I think they will finish the whole US before they move to Canada it's not so far off from NY or New England

[oldmanclippy]

The nice thing about doing Ontario first is that they wouldn't necessarily need to do Quebec or Manitoba next because Ontario flows nicely with the shape of the US itself and doesn't need more of Canada right next to it in order to not be an awkward shape.

[flight50]

Agreed. Ontario is more like an extension to the US Great Lakes.

BC after Washington would have been horrible actually. We already suffered from the hockey stick when Washington came before Utah. Washington made the hockey worse. BC would have been even more coastline without any interior states. I think even more people would have questioned SCS.

Look Seattles NHL team has only played two seasons

But on a serious note I agree, I still remember the corridor driving and almost every trip I'd make to WA would involve US 395 between Burns and Pendleton, OR. and even with Promods Canada in it's current state the same three roads in and out.

oldmanclippy, regarding Manitoulin Island, one can take the boat to and from there, if the truck is withing regular highway limits.

It's alll the way down on that page.

Quebec, can have quite long, long roads, north.

Let's worry about The lower 48 getting finished before worrying about how they'll map Canada (if they get that far).

Mexico should already be done as we've bordered the entirety of it now with CA/AZ/NM/TX. But again... let's get the *AMERICAN* part of American Truck Simulator done before worrying about the rest of the continent.
