Have you seen any real places?
Have you seen any places that you have seen in real life? And if so compare them to the real thing!

Personaly there is https://gyazo.com/022f579952bfc08d15f182cd12baad5d . This is a revier in southern Orgen but in the game it is in nouthan Cali, but they have the road lineup exact as in real life. I rate it a 8 out of 10 for comparison

Ive seen Bakersfield in real life. Lived in Fresno till I was 21 and man..........SCS got REAL close. I was disappointed not to see Madera, Chowchilla, Merced, Modesto north and then Tulare, Visalia, Reedly Santa Rosa, Santa Barbera.....Places like that but all in all, when I drive in Cali "in game", I feel like im driving around back home.

I tried to recreate a part of madera (Only Ave 17) in the editor, but gave up because of the scaling.

Sacramento they only got I-5 through downtown right, and still is missing a lot of landmarks. LA is well done in some places, I-5 is not one of them.. no sense of driving there AT ALL. I-15 in Las Vegas is VERY well done, and they really outdid themselves on Arizona.
I've seen Phoenix, San Diego, Flagstaff, and Las Vegas of the places in game (that I've been to in game).

Phoenix: Have my issues with the freeway layout a bit, but otherwise is a pretty good representation (at least the areas I've drove in so far).

Flagstaff: No, just no. I was really disappointed when I got into Flagstaff, it doesn't remind me of being there in any way. I'll probably end up trying to skip Flagstaff as much as possible.

San Diego: Again felt like San Diego, but only having been there a couple times on vacation I can't vouch for how accurate it is.

From the pictures Kingman looks like a good representation as well.

Working on small scale they do very good job better than 1:1 world like Xplane flight sim looks like.

I live in Sacramento and it only has I5 going through it and couple of streets. But I am amazed at what they did with that, its good example how they capture a feel with just a few streets.

i5 itself looks exactly right, I drive it every day and feel like I'm driving it in the game. It dips down, the walls, the buildings.

The side streets could be real streets where you would deliver. The basketball courts, a little park, the skyline is right on, and yes a little trashiness.

And the roads here are continuously being worked on, for 20+ years, I've always complained why not just make them permanently teared up, whats the difference. And in the game, they have construction right on the i5 in downtown Sac. I love it.

Now a lot of Sacramento is missing of course, but you can expect that in a lot of areas.

I live in Oregon and have seen nearly all of Interstate 5 at one point or another, from Canada to Mexico, so I have driven through many of the cities there and seen the landmarks along the way, including the Hollywood sign. I have vacationed in San Diego, Redding, and LA for longer amounts of time.

Many years ago I took a road trip where I visited Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. They did a really good job with capturing the spirit of these places in the game (although Vegas has WAY more pedestrians in real life).

I saw that "world's tallest thermometer", thought that was pretty neat detail.

I've never actually stopped at it IRL but always pass by on the way to Vegas.
