Just replicated Desert Bus...

[DropsOfMars]

In a Kenworth W900 AeroCap Sleeper (chosen for its length and awkwardness to drive), garage to garage, obeying all traffic laws and only ever driving as fast as 45 MPH whenever the speed limit exceeded that, I left Tucson, Arizona at 7:45 am, then I arrived, my driver beginning to yawn, in Las Vegas, Nevada at 8:58pm. The whole trip in total took about 13 in-game hours.

In the Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors, such a trip at that speed takes about 8 hours, according to google, a drive like that with a regular automobile would take about 6 hours and 13 minutes.

Was Penn and Teller's Desert bus wrong? Or is the trip longer than it technically should be in American Truck Simulator? Or am I just looking into this way more than I should? Probably that last one. Thought I'd share, and hey if you've enjoyed yourself a Desert Bus-like trip in American Truck Simulator, feel free to shout out here! I'm aware that people have done this trip in videos too, but I wanted to see what doing it as faithfully as possible for myself to that old game's rules.

Side note, curious if and how to what degree the flow of time is going to be changed when the map is scaled up? Side note to that side note, hoped there was going to be a bus in the workshop but was disappointed that such a thing did not exist.

SCS uses "creative license" in many areas. This could be one of those?
