Texas Discussion Thread

[VTXcnME]

My assumption is our friends developing the game some 5,000 miles away are calling Texas gulf coast "Atlantic Ocean" Despite the fact that no one here refers to Gulf of Mexico as Atlantic ocean. So no longer will they be filling in the southeast. It's Midwest/Great Lakes or bust!!!

This is like the third time I've seen that argument that Europeans think the Gulf of Texas is the Atlantic Ocean lol. I promise you that's not what we learn in school here.

Well alrighty then! So it sounds like it was just a hard left turn/change in direction away from the "Push to Atlantic" that was discussed a few years back.

Either way.... SCS will put out what SCS will put out. Guessing is clearly a fools errand.

The list of city names I found in the game files:

Odd, Corpus Christi and Brownsville are missing.

[Tristman]

Yeah, the list is missing some areas of Texas, so it's probably a partial list.

[oldmanclippy]

It's from what seems to be a work in progress list of cities that have been added as targets for mileage signs. Certainly not exhaustive.

[Gormanbros]

Seems like it's missing any place on the northern, eastern or far southern edges of TX. Maybe something related to map sectors? Idk

It's definitely not the full list

Edit: unless I missed them, Galveston, Victoria and McAllen are also missing, as well as Paris (which may or may not be included with TX)

Maybe if Davido releases KS-OK-NE as a bundle by 2023, Team 2 could work on the Dakotas by 2024. Team 3 could move onto LA/AR. Team 4 could split and stick with base map reworks. That's just my idea. Texas has the capability of splitting into three teams itself. As Team 2 moves toward the Great Lakes with MN-WI-IL (2025), Davido could do MO-IA (2024), with Team 3 MS-AL (2024). Then by 2025, Team 2 could move onto MI-IN-OH which would be done by 2026. So in theory, Team 3 could move to GA-FL by late 2025. Now we hopefully have the base map team done, and there could be TN-KY, by 2025 or 2026 as well. Three DLC per year. Or maybe I am too optimistic...

But this is why I am saying that they could reach New York around 2029 and New England 2030.

I don't think you realize how much work those a OK+KS+NW bundle is. Davido will not be releasing 3 states as one dlc in one year. That is wayyyyy to much work. Texas is already at 3.5+ years and those 3 states is easily 2+ years if only one team works it.

Davido will do one state and the 2 map leads that are on Texas will do 2 other states. Jakub will stay on the rebuild. Your expectations are too optimistic. But again, Texas had 3 teams worth of people because they took people from the rebuild. The rebuild team vanished because of Montana and Texas. Once Texas is out, each map lead will more than likely only command 10 or so again, not 15+ unless they are doing a super team. But if you think one team can knock out 3 states in one year, you're going to be madly disappointed. It took 1 team a whole year for all the currently released dlc's to dates (excluding Texas). They do get smaller but one team can't do 3 states. You're asking for the impossible.

3 dlc's or states a year is possible but not by one team. It will take 3 teams to do 3 states if we are to get it within one year.

Waah! The "divided highway" sign is up! Been waiting for that one since 2017. Now Texas is an automatic buy for me (as if it wasn't before, lol).

Nice shot BTW.

Unfortunately, there only seems to be one variant of the sign in game's asset list (R6-3) for four way intersections. The game seems to be lacking the R6-3a variant for three way intersections. There are couple of three way intersections in the sectors shared between New Mexico and Texas that incorrectly use R6-3. I hope R6-3a will be added later.

And a side note, there's a small typo in the name of the sign in the asset list too. It's called "...divided hightway."

look at all the signs I found in the ATS map editor.

[flight50]

Pic 1 (3 rows) is the same bottom 3 rows of pic 4. Pick 2, the bottom 3 rows is also the same as pic 1 and pic 4. You might have mixed up your files.
