SR-14 is a bigger need in Wa imo.

Ok,whoever was working on the Glacier Park region deserves a raise or bonus,that part of ATS in on a different level in terms of map quality.That road there at this moment is by far the most beautiful road in both ATS and ETS2.

SCS did a real good job with some of the places, very close to the real scenery.

Glacier NP is probably a new benchmark for game's quality both in terms of realism (elevation and route) and enjoyable driving experience (beautiful scenery). We wanted it, we got it. I really appreciate whoever mapped there and whoever mentioned Glacier NP support it's existence in ATS although it's not a trucking route. If you want to enjoy some day, go and check there.

For me Montana brought the two best places: The Secret Road in Thompson Falls and the Glacier National Park.

I rather him do the gap in Southern Utah and SLC mountain rework. US-2 to WA -20 is simple enough for another. The Going to the Sun mapper's talent is mountains.

Sorry to say this, but US-2/WA-20, is not simple.
Yes, simple if 1 does the basic road.
But if one wants scenery, that somewhat correspondens to reality? Then that is something else.
Southern Utah and SLC mountain rework? easier!

Simple enough as in much much shorter road. Complexity, I have no idea. I haven't looked into it but I know the Glacier guy is a great mapper that can handle Southern Utah solo. US-2 to WA-20 is 92.7 miles. In ATS that's probably 4-5 miles.

Southern Utah is quite mountainous which is perfect for the Glacier National Park mapper. That route is 283 miles . https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Shirt+T ... !3e0?hl=en

plus the Western connection for UT-24. That is 346 miles in total. That's close to like 17 ATS miles for Southern Utah.

I haven't driven it yet, but in pictures looks like they had really proper mountain backdrops around.

For those aiming for the 'power on' achievement, you need to deliver the poles/circuit breakers to the Faraday prefab to the south of Havre, not the north. Otherwise it will not count since the north prefab is just some warehouse prefab and not an eletric substation.

flight50, Complexity for WA-20/US-2, is high.

seriousmods SR-14 for WA? Would be nice for the sections that can be added. Even tho it would parallell I-84. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.6959 ... 42!1m0!3e0
Maybe tricks used in GNP, would be useful for this road, if it ever gets added. + the road would look odd on the map, close to Portland.

Can anyone tell me if steam and geforce now are syncing with montana yet?

I've contacted SCS support and their response was that the build should very soon be available on Geforce Now. How fast it goes depends on the Nvidia folks.

Thanks. Cause I had them refund my money cause it wasn't working.
