The capitol building is pretty in the town.

After school buses in Oklahoma and business jets in Kansas, we have the subway cars in Nebraska .

They make subway cars in Nebraska?  Whaaaaaaaa?

[FoxTail]

I didn't know NEBRASKA did anything to be honest with you.

RV's and subway cars. I can't imagine demand for subway cars is that high...

I just want all these new state DLCs to greatly increase the amount of places I can drive.  I am actually really liking FLAT country.

I am loving the "boring" states honestly.  It first started with Wyoming for me then each one after I have loved the "boring" states.

^ Me too. I actually prefer open road driving.  Wide open roads.

The new update to the Fresno area is going to change the big straight farm roads into a very boxy area of roads.  No longer can I drive through there to avoid the freeway traffic.  It will take longer now.   But curves and areas to slow down make for the world feeling bigger.

Back in 2019, they have extensively used this trick for Romania .

GTA San Andreas extensively used this trick.

Hard Truck 2 have set the bar very high in 2001 . As I have mentioned before, there are no long straights, and the number of curves makes the map feel twice as bigger. But it didn’t stop people from reaching 200 km/h (with a crash in the wall or a fall in the water at the next second ) in empty DAF 95. Sadly, in 2003 version this overpowered truck has been nerfed.
I guess the chain of decisions was something like that: our map is too small > (more curves added) > the trucks became too slow > (more power added) > too much speed! > (nerf is done!)

I like the balance the Trucking Sim games have right now.  I do like the improvements they are making to the older areas of the maps too.

Here is an improvement I have noticed ten minutes ago .
One of depots near Roma has a pretty narrow pass between two walls — the first one is very inconvenient for making a right turn (my photo is taken on the way back), but the owner of the second one has cut both corners... probably getting some respect from the drivers (while the people with right angle corners are just fighting for every square meter of their property ).
