Speaking about
I-70: with all those message boards (the combination of «
NOT BUCKLED?» and «
NOT BUCKLED? SERIOUSLY??» after a few miles is my favorite
) it appears to be the most advanced Interstate on the ATS map! Even I-5 near Portland and Seattle doesn’t have so much of accessories. Other roads have them as well: a lot of boom barriers (in mountain pass areas they say «this is where the fun begins»
), flashing lights on some of «STOP» signs, even the additional traffic lights at the middle of some ramps leading to I-25. I wonder, it’s a Colorado-specific features or the
SCS will expand this on other roads later? If they have remade all traffic lights on the map a few patches ago, I think this is not a difficult thing for them. I believe that I-80 in Wyoming will be made with this great level of details too
— including the very discriminative signs «60 mph for cars and 25 mph for trucks»
.
Next, the farming area from Sterling to Lamar have a lot of various accesories too: you can see a lot of circle and half-circle sprinkler installations (and they are moving! Unlike the oil pumps in Arizona — in NM and CO these pumps are working) and all types of agricultural machinery you can haul.
Also, I like
this place, when you can’t bypass the weight control: even if you go to the secondary road, you’ll still meet the signal transmitter, which sends you to the weight station. And
this place is interesting too: you can pierce this mountain in the tunnel or drive around it to look how much time is saved thanks to said tunnel. Well, even if I have opened this map very quickly, I still have a lot of places to see: Four Corners, some mountain areas I visited at night, more quarries etc. And I didn’t find that sign with
km/h on it
.
P.S. I see,
Vitas Power is the first
ETS2 company introduced to
ATS. It would be nice to see the
Ultimus airplane in some of
ETS’s airports — to show that both of these games are in one storyline
.
