Montana Discussion Thread

[fra_ba]

fra_ba, I do like the current Billings, even when there is no space for the western part.
US-20 Idaho Falls to West Wyoming? I think it should be possible.
And I do think it would be far easier, than WA-20, US-2, between Colville WA and Sandpoint ID. This road be like threading a needle with a hamp rope.

yeah! no objection on Billings! Eastern part has more notable depots, western look a bit generic industry-wise. And down-town driving in big cities is somehow rare in ATS.

Depends on the city size for downtown driving. I’d expect Montana to be very similar to Wyoming with all cities allowing downtown driving. The cities are not big at all in real life. When the city in small or possibly even mid sized like Redding, if there is space to make the city larger, they will to allow downtown driving.

It’s these type of downtowns that could someday allow street and alley deliveries. We’ll need certain new companies for such but it’s totally possible. I was driving thru downtown Missoula last night and that lonnng corridor is perfect for such a delivery. Once we get the moving style trailer, I think it would be time for town center delivers. This opens the door to certain trailers downtown.

MatzMan, so it is you! who took my mailbox!

flight50, downtown dropops? Would be nice if/when multi pickup/drops gets implemented.

100 % agreement. The little shortcuts don't knock your socks off. I am also in favour of the fictional road over Josemite also becoming a similar hidden road to Thompson Falls with the reworking of California.

Wait, fictional?
Do you mean CA-120? https://www.google.com/maps/place/Yosem ... 19.5383294
Or do you mean the southern road? Ca-180, that ends in a dead en IRL? https://www.google.com/maps/place/Yosem ... 19.5383294

After playing nonstop since its release I must say that Montana is now my new favourite state and putting Colorado into second place.
They really nailed it, again. One of the best things is that the state is pretty big, lots of roads to drive, loving it.

exactly what this feature should be used for

I hate this "feature". I don't want to try if I can get past these X barriers that tell me STOP. They should reliably mean STOP everywhere, not "sometimes no means yes, even when mostly no means no".

Also, luck-based achievements suck. Refreshing the job market dozens of times in the hopes of getting the stuff you need is not fun whatsoever.

there are no barriers where a hidden road is, it would be totally nonsensical to place them there

[-MLP-]

But there are tons of roads blocked by invisible walls in the coutryside. And you have to hit them to know if the're actually hidden roads or not...

Maybe they shoud make just the begining of the road visible on GPS. Or make an option to show all of them, not to guess if it's somethign there or not. Many have XXX barriers hidden even before there was an option in the game so it kinda sucks.

The hidden roads already have grey and yellow coloring, so you know if you drive them before. I want to see them all.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

the hidden roads we got with 1.44 (or was it 1.43?) are NOT behind a barrier, roads behind barriers that are "drivable" are not part of this feature

[-MLP-]

I know. Reread what i said. There are roads in country side blocked by invisible walls, not XXX barriers. So you have to hit them to see if there's a hidden road or not.
