Oklahoma Discussion Thread

Will see think Oklahoma will be comparable to Washington in road miles, but fewer cities around 10 of them same thing with Kansas and Nebraska. Also, more small settlement will arrive requiring more assets.

Oklahoma City is will be setup like Denver layout I bet.

You can clearly see in google maps that the number of roads dramatically increases in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma compared to Colorado and New Mexico. Not all of them are going to be in the game, but I expect some more than previous states. Of course with less large urban centers the job might be a bit easier anyway.

For current dlcs, seems there are no tricks and to create such views, SCS uses available space as much as needed.

You know because you're a mapper correct?

[fra_ba]

No but can work with editor and so far I haven't seen any tricks but stretching the actual terrain to around 1000-1400 meters which takes so much space.

[flight50]

I mentioned the tricks on the previous page. One was using the distance which you just indicated with stretching the terrain. The max is 1500 unless they increased it again. Between that cut planes, vegetation, mountains and buildings, all cut down on performance or distance. Believe it or not, those are tricks to not have to draw the entire world in the distance which would make it a useless open world that we can't even access. We only get so many meters/Km/miles off the main road we access so anything they don't have to map to me are tricks for our 3d world.

It all depends on Texas's road network. The only roads I will be going into Oklahoma from the Red River side is US-271, US-259, US-75/69, US-81, I-44, US-70, TX-6.

I was going to say TX-78 and TX-121, but that was just a self-preference for someone from Collin County who has driven the whole highway to Tishomingo. There likely won't be room for Bonham, but we will likely have Durant due to US-75/70. Now a lot of you are saying that it will conflate with US-82, but I don't think so.

@Trakaplex You don't plan on taking the most obvious one....I-35?

Oops, that just didn't come in my head. It's the first anyone could think of...

Speaking of TX-6, that actually reminds me of another small town I forgot to mention in my city lists, Altus. This is mainly an air force town, but there's a decent amount of industries and it's a fairly sizable city of just under 20K people. While TX-6 doesn't actually go into the city, it does intersect US-62 nearby. Although US-283 and US-62 intersect in the town itself, with 283 continuing north to Elk City and south towards Abilene, and 62 continuing east to Lawton and west to Lubbock.

I looked at Oklahoma in street view, and it looks beautiful in the east, especially the region surrounding Tulsa.
