Realistic/ 1:1 Map?

[[GER] TM]

Hey there, i was wondering if theres any realistic or maybe even 1:1 scale map that works with 1.35 and that can be used for simulating a short distances distribution driver, you know, so the daycabs finally make sense in the game.

No, there isnt, All maps are 1:20

There was a 1:1 map for the Elliot/Dalton highway in Alaska but have not seen that in a while.

Get a copy of Scania Truck Simulator, it's "1:1" in some area (possibly fictional, I don't know?) and works just like ATS and ETS2, though of course slightly older graphics. It's actually quite fun with the competitions and challenges as well.
The trucks aren't strictly daycabs, but they're pretty short cab/chassis with single real axles, so not huge long haul beasts.

Hawkbs will update Dalton to 1.35: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=213559&start=2480#p1193336

For now, you can rollback to 1.33.

Also, Mobilek is working on Merced County, which looks beautiful: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=268198

Unfortunately its not ready yet

Maybe take a look at this site https://tregion.net/

They are doing a 1:2 version of Netherlands and someone is doing a 1:1 of Arkansas. No idea about the quality.

Doing a 1:1 map with decent quality is basically, impossible. There were many attempts in the past but modders finally gave up on them because they realized they will need years just to build half a city.

Actually ETS2 has a mod called Heilbronn Map which is 1:1 and is very decent. Id also be happy with 1:2 or 1:5. Just somthing suitable for shorter hauls

I understand what you want, it would be very nice to play as a delivery of supplies inside a city. But ATS and ETS2 isnt made for that, a long truck and trailer isnt allowed inside cities for the most part. For example, in Sweden the longest normal truck + trailer was 24 meters when I was young (think stone age), dunno what it is no but it isnt longer for sure. In Norway it was 18 meters.
My dad drove a 24 meters long truck/trailer (was a rigid truck actually so even worse) so he had to get a special ok to drive to Norway and when he got there it was pure hell to get to the destination due to the length, I know, I was with him as a kid.
So, SCS has made the game for the long hauls, not the short daily intown deliveries. So the map isnt really adapted for it. Therefore it is also hard to make a mod for it, it would be like creating a new game. Both maps in the cities and the trucks used for driving into the cities.

Edit: Bad quoting from my side, I should just have been quoting the last sentence "Just somthing suitable for shorter hauls"

Sure but there are many rigid and small trucks as mods already just like regular trucks with shorter trailers which are used in reality for exactly that.

If you got ETS2 try Grand Utopia mod from scs forums mapmods, its what ETS should be regarding drivng on narrov roads and hillklimbing.
