Is ETS 2 map a lot larger than ATS?

[Salem Graves]

In game, ETS 2 looks a lot bigger, but if you were to drive from one edge of the map to the other in both games, which would take longer? I'm not considering any map mods.

ETS 2 has been out longer, and has generally lower speed limits than ATS.

That being said, I am not sure how the game sizes compare exactly, but I am fairly sure ETS2 is larger, and would feel larger while driving the speed limit.

I believe both games are similar in size
imo the slower speed limit in ETS2 makes it feel larger than it actually is

I did a quick test using the Freight Market sorted by Route Length. I have all map DLCs in both games. No other map mods in the profiles used. The longest routes go from one map corner to another map corner. Currently in my games jobs with the longest distance are:

ATS
- Hobbe, NM - Seattle, WA: 2800 km (1740 miles)

ETS2
- Edirne (TR) - Faro (E): 4500 km
- St Petersburg (RU) - Seville (E): 4400 km

There are probably other longer combinations but I think they are only slightly longer than the ones currently available in my games. Road distance from corner to corner of the maps ETS2 seems to be the larger one.

But there are other aspects of "large" which I don't have tested:

• Distance as the crow flies across the map
  
• Time to drive these longest routes. (higher speed limits in ATS but more km in ETS2)
  
• Total length of the road network (motorways, country roads, city streets, ...)
  
• Number of internal drivable road sections that can be "explored" from grey to yellow
  
• Number of discoverable cities in the game
  
• Number of working companies in the game
  
• Area covered by the ATS states respective ETS2 countries released so far
  
• ... and probably other aspects too

The higher speed limits in ATS are more or less nulled because ATS has a lot more traffic lights and stop signs.
ATS also has more city 1:3 scale roads where time goes slower, though with the newer ETS2 dlc that difference is getting less.

Generally speaking i always feel like I can get from point A to B with the same distance a lot quicker in ETS2 than ATS, the scale difference between the games doesn't justify that.

Do we know the respective map scale used by each game? Then it's as simple as comparing scaled superficies of the included states/countries.

ETS 2 is 1:19 Scale and ATS is 1:20

Both games use the same scale, or very similar. 1:19 or 1:20 IIRC. Cities are 1:3.
