Base Map Rebuild (CA, NV, AZ) General Discussion Thread

[Tristman]

I don’t mind the ducks on a hidden road, but I’d like the main road to be more realistic.

I think getting the mountains right is very important. If we have more rolling hills it won’t be a good rebuild. That’s part of what hurt Southern California. Los Angeles was good enough that we kinda overlooked it but the Mountains in Nevada are ending to be right.

Arizona could be getting rebuilt right now as they have already redone a good portion and they might be thinking finish it then move to Nevada. Since they are already there.

I do have one complaint,
whoever did the new welcome signs for AZ, I'm sorry, they look like an ad and not a welcome sign. They should have the words "Welcome to Arizona" on them please and thank you.

For anyone trying to get 100% in California - CA - you'll need to get the agriculture stops in NV - Nevada and Oregon - OR.

Also celebrating I finally have it at 100%. My first attempt had a few bugs that have since been resolved/I have since learned how to teleport/fly.

Also have AZ at 100%.

As someone who spent a lot of time in CA and AZ, it looks really good! Thank you for rebuilding these states as part of the base game. Hope it entices more new users. SF still amazes me every time I'm there.

Playing California more is making me enjoy it more. Wow it feels like a California. I admit I still have my issues that I’ve states before but the parts I enjoy are well worth it.

Also I drove the 40 in the new parts and wow. The quality feels so much better. It really showed me how much Arizona needs it. I’m thinking I’ll avoid the 10 now until they redo it. Well focus on other areas. But I did a run along the 40 and it was just fun all the way.

1.59 OB dropped and I found some new road signs for Nevada that could mean we're getting an I-80 rework!!

It does seem that all of the unused ones in the image below are for towns/roads around I-80, but a few of them already are used in game.

EDIT: Found some more signage confirming at least it's going to be a northern Nevada rework, but also found some Las Vegas ones as well interestingly enough

Hopefully it doesn’t come too much later after Illinois. That San Francisco to Omaha Davenport Chicago route is sorely needed.

If it doesnt make it in time, you can time your route for a nighttime drive on the I-80 between Reno and SLC.

Been doing that for a while, it makes it bearable for the time being.

After seeing what Brothergun posted, as well as Spooks' updated Mileage Targets list; the biggest question on my mind is, will Nevada be split into two phases or will they just do the entire state in one go?

Knowing how long it's been, as well as Chicago's addition to ATS coming real soon, I'd prefer two phases with Northern Nevada coming before Southern Nevada.

Selfishly I would prefer it to be all in one go, as I much prefer that to the phase structure. There is a good argument for it to be released in phases tho, both cause of the size of NV and the need to get I-80 out as fast as possible.
