^ Yes, I still think that has a lot of secrets on it right in front of us.  I haven't seen it talked about on the SCS forums.

Landmarks of West Balkans

This week is rich for blog posts .
Also, the scenery on all these pictures looks really good.

The scenery is very nice and I love the ever-increasing detail of landmarks and locations.

How is this for a proposed ATS map expansion?  Including all the states, Canada, and Mexico!  Found this on the SCS Forums.  To me it looks pretty good. It's interesting looking at the Northeast States because they are so small, some only have a few towns/cities on them in-game.  This seems pretty realistic if you ask me. Thoughts?

It must take a loooooot of time .

Thats pretty cool!  Very detailed!  I would LOVE this to be reality someday.

But as we saw from this image, they might be teasing future locations they want to go.  Notice all the pin drops on the map to locations we haven't been. Iceland and Ireland really stand out.

Also I noticed that they have Crimea as part of Ukraine.  Nice little nod SCS.

I like this new little icon SCS uses for their "on the road" blog posts.



A a uniting piece of the logo, I like how the semi truck is split down the middle being a US variant and Euro variant truck.  The background unites the trucks a s well because the US variant is over Europe and the Euro truck is over the United States.

Something to note about the map is that the map shows Iceland, and sort of shows Russia.  It also shows Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.  Is this telling us that is their ultimate goal to build for these areas?  Or is it just a map just for designs sake.  There is also a pinpoint on Ireland!!!

If it was the ultimate goal to show countries that aren't in the game yet, being marked, it is interesting how on the United States side, we only see the United States.  No Mexico.  No Canada.  It is just the USA.

Let's go to the Faroe Islands!!!!

I think that image with the maps holds the keys to SCS's future longterm goals, especially on the ETS2 side.  Canada and Mexico are SO far off that they don't even need to be on they mage yet.

ATS 1.48 release!

So, we have five more days to test the ABS/TC/new sounds and explore the new Texas routes, before the new state will come out. All the preparation from SCS side are done — the state map background is already grey, and I have already seen the loading screen with Oklahoma scenery .
And I am currently earning more money for a new state exploring pack (truck+trailer+garage ).

[Graymist]

I'm pretty excited.  Oklahoma is going to be one of the smaller states coming up, but it should be nice!  Loving the yellow trucks too.

Kansas — Dodge City

As I remember, this town’s name was referenced by a location from FiM universe, where the famous «Cherrychanga» and «Rarity, catch me!» scenes were filmed .

[MasterXtreme]

Dodge City is a classic town in American folklore.  Home to many cattle rustlers, outlaws, and lawmen!  Famous from the time of expansion into the American west!

Oklahoma is going to be pretty small in terms of roads.  Similar to Idaho but with less variety.
