Why don't they just call it west coast truck simulator?

[Jimmy]

The game has been out for 3 years and only the west coast has been mapped? The ♥♥♥♥?

And here I thought that the DayZ devs were lazy.

Yes, they have been very slow on the release of the states so far, but scs already said that they are speeding up the process (was about time). Because at this rate, we will need 30 years to fill the map hahahaha (hell many of us will be almost dead even before that happens.... ).

The game is called American Truck Simulator, not America Truck Simulator, thus it's about long nose trucks somewhere in America.

The thing is, the states they have done in the past 3 years are all in the top ten of state per area, adding up to one fifth of all the contiguous states. They won't need 30 years to do the remaining four fifths. Or there is a very disappointed middle school math teacher somewhere in the world.

they also have a policy at the moment that they WILL NOT work on two neighbouring states at a time to reduce the potential problems that can occur at the border lines. this means that there is a more than even chance that, after Utah, they will be going to Texas as that is the only state tha can connect to the current map that DOES NOT share a border with Utah.

This is completely false and has been debunked on the forums. THey can and do work on neighboring states at the same time. Washington and Oregon for example. However they will not work on the border areas at the same time. One state border will be complete, then the other state team works on their border.

My bad, i must have misinterpreted what was said.

And here's Brotherman Bill having yet another whinge about the game.

yup reason why i stopped buying states, because the price is near to nothing if you wait it out.

It was an example and of course an exageration. But make the maths. 1-2 states at most per year...

[Robinicus]

When are people going to learn to stop feeding the trolls? This was obviously started to rile people up and not as any valid input into or about the game...

Alright, let's do the maths ...

Contiguous US area : 3.120 M sq.mi

- Cali : 169 M sq.mi
- NM : 121 M sq.mi
- Az : 113 M sq.mi
- Nv : 110 M sq.mi
- Or : 98 M sq.mi
- Wa : 71 M sq.mi

- sum : 682 M sq.mi
- vs USA : 682 / 3120 = 1 / 5

If 3 years = 682 M sq.mi = 1 / 5 then 4 / 5 = ??
(hint : 4 * 3 years = 12 years, ie: less than half of 30 years)

NB: it's flawed because it's based on one team, a rescale and a 2nd team quite later.

Let's conclude the maths : less than 12 years, maybe even less than one third of your 30 years. But yeah, " 1-2 per year " [...] Not only disappointed but litteraly changing its subject the next year. Okay, maybe not, that would an example and of course an exageration.

To the OP, uninstall and play something else, or wait for it like the rest of us.

Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico are west _coast_? You maybe mean the Western United States or also called The Far West.

I know I look forward to seeing my area in ATS, the 1000 Islands region in upstate NY. Beautiful country to drive. Also some challenging highway driving around Syracuse and Buffalo.

[TwinShadow]

I definitely look forward to driving in the northeastern states myself; what with all the densely packed roads and such. Makes for some nice driving. Meanwhile, I'm fine with what I have, and I buy more as they come out.

Lets not forget, the actual goal was not just the US but all of the Americas. Canada and Mexico :)

Lol what? This is my first time talking about it, but I guess I didn't account for that this game would have fanboys with blinders of this sheer magnitude. I guess even in trucking games they can foster an environment of Apple like denial.

Anyone else remember the 18 Wheels of steel series where when the game debuted it had all the content advertised such as THEE ENTIRE DRIVABLE UNITED STATES?
And its seems that whenever they finish a new state it ends up as DLC... What happened? When did SCS go so wrong?
