German Cities Rework Discussion (Post-Austria)

[Shiva]

Spooks, nr2, I did wonder about, but never checked. That should confirm the Warnow Tunnel! Nice!

When I looked at google map around the "4/13" area for Stephan Jantzen, icebreaker. I found out that some of the GPS locations for the photos are a bit wrong.

it seems these new reworks (starting with Austria) ditched "only truck accessible areas" design philosophy, which is good.

Wait till the "this game is turning into Euro Tourist Simulator!!!!" Crew hears you

Now I'm starting to wonder if the road to the east of Rostock could get replaced by the rest of the A20. I suspect they won't because they haven't replaced the minor road between Nuremburg and Erfurt with the A73 in 1.47.

Yeah, I know that tourism isn't the focus of ETS2 but "truck accessible areas only" approach produced some of the most landmarkless cities in the game like Rome.
Obviously I never intended to drive a truck into St. Peter's Square, but Rome proper had not a single landmark in sight, not even EUR district

@ninjawarrior1x3
I think that minor road ultimately will be replaced with A73 but they probably didn't include it now due to time constraints (Nurnberg was supposed to be only a city rework, not highway rework).

@Spooks I think #6 is more likely supposed to be here looking northeast https://www.google.com/maps/place/GT+Ro ... 11gyy9cwrz The pipelines are a match

I like that since the Austria rework they've given us more "touristy" roads in ETS2. ATS I like them to be more realistic. But I imagine Europeans feel the exact opposite in both cases.

BTW this picture show 2 custom assets, made specifically for Rostock rework. These probably aren't even landmarks, yet have custom assets - that's quite impressive attention to detail

RttBS is probably the worst offender. See Brasov, for example.

I don't know what you won, but seen from my desk, you did won.
Euro Tourist Simulator vs (so-called " American") Tourist Simulator.

Oh how I love it. Driving around the highways here is SO boring and uninteresting.
