Yesterday I visited Forth Worth Dallas Metropolitan Airport and WOW!!! Details was great there were even NPC trucks & trailers arriving and departing it made me feel like I wasn't the only trucker around.

I think Dallas has something similar, it's an area off the interstate that has a Wallbert and a Plugged.

I have found one so far (in Dallas). It's a Walbert.

Buy there are quite a few that are decorative, which is aggravating.

I still don't get how some of the best buildings are always decorative, while old prefabs dating back to the early game keep appearing. I'm also noticing at least two "new" companies so far that simply reuse an old prefab with a new sign.

There's a Sunshine Farms prefab from original Cali in Texas (and I think Montana), and another one that I found yesterday from a building supply company. Have to find the original source.

Ill check out Dallas. The fact there is no big distro center in Laredo is... appalling.

@Lillen, Houston's airport is pretty nice too, with lots of activity. What I really loved seeing was a 747 (in a faux-KLM livery) taxiing right by the cargo terminal.

Handy maps and diagrams.

Furthermore, I consider that I-80 across Nevada must be redone next.

Yeah, there is only the one that I found by Dallas. It's surrounded by a number of others that are unused.

I also found at least one (maybe two) decorative, marked Walberts lol. Together with our decorative gas stations, banks, hotels, truckstops, truck yards, farms, manufacturers, car dealers, and shopping centers, it's starting to get a bit depressing lol.

DLS Texas is very cool, but there is one nuance that interferes with enjoyment - it's performance. If FPS sags on some maps in cities, then in Texas it is everywhere. I have already scaled to 200, all settings are medium.

And now I will describe the configuration of my PC:
i5 9th gen
16gb RAM
SSD
RTX 3060
I translate via Google Translate. Sometimes he does it badly. I beg understand and forgive. :geek:

hangman005, sometimes Interstate Highway XX (IH XX) or Interstate Route XX (IR XX) are used too.
clifflandmark wrote: 26 Nov 2022 11:34 The problem is, if you want to spend time to relax through playing games, both ATS-ETS and RDR2 can be played. No matter whether Rockstar already reached profits they expected or not, RDR2 costs less with discount.Although we -base SCS fans- approach from SCS' side, it does not make sense from a stranger's aspect.(I want SCS to make money, thus they can develop the game)

I wish to have explained myself better but it's hard in English.
For me, in Sweden:
RDR2 -67% of 59,99€ = 19,79€
Ultimate Edition -70% of 89,99€ = 26,99€

Texas DLC 17,99€

Texas DLC still cheaper here. Even with the massive RDR2 discounts.

Your Texas DLC, 134 Turkish Lire
according to xe.com
134,00 Turkish Lire = 6,9236785 Euro

1 TRY = 0,0516692 EUR

1 EUR = 19,3539 TRY
