Golden Gate Bridge Is Grey Not Red??
Everytime i go over the Golden Gate Bridge in and out of San Francisco the textures are grey and steely instead of the proper maroony-red? Every video i see on youtube show the bridge in the right colour? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

There are two bridges going into SF, Are you sure you are on the right one? The correct bridge has a rather large toll on one side, that leads directly to the bridge, and a tunnel on the other side. Northwest of SF on the map.

As ttower said, there are two bridges. If it's not red, you're on the wrong one.

The one in the game is the Bay Bridge not the Golden Gate...Look nothing like the Golden Gate.

I know there is two bridges - the one when coming into SF is a cable-stayed bridge and this is not the one. The one after the tunnel is the Golden Gate Bridge and is not red it's grey.

No, that is the Bay Bridge which is made up of two bridges with a tunnel in the middle. To drive on the Golden Gate bridge take highway 101 that goes northwest out of San Fransisco.

I think there's a tunnel with the Bay Bridge as well. You know this bridge because it also has a section that is double-decked.

Golden Gate Bridge is, as Big T57 said, going north from San Francisco and directly towards San Rafael. There's a third bridge that goes to San Rafael from the east - this is also not the Golden Gate. Golden Gate is the only one that runs directly north and south.

its not just you mine is the same way, grey in texture. and from what i can tell it don't replicate the bridge very good either. and since this 1.30 update i lost some of the best mods ever created. think this dummies should actually listen to the people who pay their salary and give us some better features and more than we are getting.

Cheers BigT57,

I was looking at the I80 highway bridge not the Golden Gate Bridge. I checked Highway 101 and the bridge was the right colour. :)

Thanks,

BugattiBreno

Sometimes you just gotta look around man...I think you got a bit ahead of yourself and thats why you couldn't find it. It also helps to have the dev console active

this is also what happens when the game is built in a different country. they are missing alot off different details in the game that should be there. towns look nothing like the towns in real life. road textures aren't exactly the same. just like the trucks we should have more than what 4 trucks to choose from with 1000's of accessories. correct me if i'm wrong but i think next month will be 2 years for this game and we are still limited on trucks and states and have to rely on mods for our needs, but then mods can't keep up with the game.

DaveP01,

When the game is at a 1:20 scale you can't expect towns to be what they look like IRL, thats just too much to ask...Could SCS have added a little more detail? Sure...but is it really necessary to fault them for it? Not really.

With the textures, no one's perfect...If you think you could do better, maybe you should send them a sample of what they could look like.

Now the trucks, oh the trucks...there is a perfectly good reason we only have the trucks we have in the game...copyright. It takes time for SCS to get approval from truck companies like Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, International, etc...the main reason being that companies are picky about how their trucks look in the game and are touchy when it comes to allowing their brand name in the game...look at ETS2 for example...a long time before now, like 2-3 years, the Mercedes comany wasn't called Mercedes, it was called Majestic...the reason being that Mercedes was picky about their name being in the game...while you could tell that the trucks were Mercedes trucks, the name was just not allowed to be used.

Finally, the slow development. When it comes to development, it takes time...SCS is now working on two games at the same time and their team isn't exactly big enough to handle the production of new things at the rate they used to...ETS2 has been going as strong as it has since the ATS release because they have put more time and effort into ETS2 so it only makes sense that the ETS2 team be bigger than the ATS team.

A final note...be happy with what SCS has provided for us in ATS, they are working their butts off trying to keep both games on par with eachother and they are still working on new stuff...for example, the Eugene road sign teaser in the New Mexico behind the scenes blog post...Based on what I've seen looking at the exit they made and google maps, they already have a good potion of Oregon done...so stop complaining about the slow development of ATS.

Depends on what timeframe you want. Isn't the Simulator not just about the Gameplay, but the scenery?

It's really hard to believe this thread. Maybe people should look at Google Maps before attacking the game developers for something that is correct. This game was released 2 years ago in February. Do you really think people wouldn't have noticed that a landmark like the Golden Gate Bridge was the wrong color?

There is a thing called the Internet and people, including SCS, has access to it. There are pictures, real satellite maps, and street level maps that people can use to see what other places look like.

DaveP01, it is apparent that you are upset because you bought a game, modified the code, and then blame the game developer for your actions to change the game you bought. It is not SCS's fault you modified your game. It's your fault.

You suggest that SCS should not update their game and then you state that SCS should listen to people and update their game. Which is it? Should the people who had crashes that were fixed by SCS in this latest update, not get those fixes just so you can not be inconvenienced because you modified the original code?

You go on to say that SCS needs to add more states. How can they add more states without updating the game? When they released New Mexico there were lots of people just like you screaming that the update broke their game because they were using incompatible map Mods. Are you willing to not have any new content, so those people aren't inconvenienced?
