Just saw the Texas ICC news. Popping open an imaginary champagne bottle right now!
This is so exciting, guys! Texas delivers. Big props to @flight50 and everyone else here for keeping on the good fight for a better economy.
Think we can say without a doubt now that Texas is going to be the best DLC ATS has ever had. A perfect start to a Season 2 of sorts, starting off the agricultural heartland of the US!
Lol. I like that. I need to go home a have a real glass of wine. Long day of work and I couldn't say on here as much as I wanted to celebrate. I only take credit of not letting ICCs die but it is you all that joined in to help. Like I mentioned, me alone, I'm not loud enough. I can't speak for the entire community. There are some people that just don't care about ICCs but luckily, enough of you started realizes why I fought for so long. So props to you all for joining the fight.

In Dallas, there is not only DFW airport, but also Love Field. The main road that serves that airport is Mockingbird Lane. When I visited Dallas in 1999, there were already skyscrapers being built right and left. Las Colinas is one of the many business parks in Dallas. I rode the DART light rail and just about 90& of the stops has a business park serving it. Even Oscar heard me talking about underground loading docks. There is one at Cityplace. I am not sure how tall the building at City Place is but it's a monster! With the tons of condos built there, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if SCS even starts adding residential furniture moving. And that would require the Kentucky Road drop-deck trailer. My uncle who lived in Dallas lived not too far from Jim Miller Road and I-30. I wouldn't mind taking a drive down Mockingbird Lane.
We can only have one airport in DFW at 1:20. Lovefield is passenger only for the most part. DFW makes a lot more sense. Lovefield is pushed off the main highway so it doesn't make sense for ATS. DFW is the right choice. It even has a highway running thru it. Cityplace Tower is 42 stories by the way. I use to work there. Started Jan 2007 and I actually just left Jan of this year to join a spin off company. We all use to work for the same guy and we all wanted change. If we get US-75, no doubt Cityplace could make the game. Its the tallest building outside of downtown Dallas and yes Dart rail does run other it but its irrelevant for this Texas dlc. I don't live to far from Jim Miller. I'm off I-30 going toward Lake Ray Hubbard and man is the new construction work going to be something once they finish. It'll take another 2-3 years I bet so SCS will have to update the area at some point. Even Lake Ray Hubbard is getting a massive construction project.

Texas being added makes the World Map so much more exciting now, too. You can now see as far east as Florida and Michigan! It's the first time on unmodded ATS I've been able to see my home state of Michigan, and it's exciting to see. It'll be a while until I can drive there in game, but we've got a lot of cool stuff coming in the mean time.
Define long, lol. Per Pavel on the Montana stream, SCS is changing course and heading to the Great Lakes. I wouldn't be too surprised if Michigan is hit in the next 7-8 years. That is much sooner than a lot of us were thinking considering Pavel wanted to get to Florida asap. The recent hurricane will allow them to rebuild bigger and better so I'm sure Google Maps will get updated and we'd never know a hurricane came by time Florida does come.
