American Truck Simulator (San Andreas Fault)
I watched the movie san andreas when it came out and just recently watched it again and this got me thinking if the san andreas fault where to go off and sink califonia would SCS remove california from the game or keep it i would personly perfer them to keep it or even just put some water over it so it is still kinda driveable with areas that wern't flooded. Thoughts ?

Othodox thinking gets you orthodoxy. Wars have been fought over this, you know. America isn't a caliphate. OP has the priviledge to speak his mind. So do the rest of you who want him to shut up, I guess. If you want to appreciate the value of free speech, go somewhere where it isn't.

When the World Trade Center got attacked, Microsoft released a patch that deleted the twin towers in FSX. Much later, there were mods that replaced those buildings with other things.

I'd expect that the same thing would happen to California in ATS. It's not outside the realm of possibility. Political hot air from recent events could further degrade the polar ice caps. That coupled with an earthquake cataclysm could flood a substantial part of Cali. Same thing accounts for the Mediterranean Sea and the split of the land bridge between Alaska and USSR.

So, I imagine the devs would just put road barriers across the highways that lead to the floodland. Later, they or modders would turn SoCal into the geographical swamp that matches the moral swamp we have today.

Will this happen in the lifetime of ATS? Likely no. Our lifetimes? Ditto. Anybody who has children realizes, though, that the world our heirs inherit from us will be less ecologically sound than the one we enjoy. Their children, too. Humans adapt, yes, but it most likely will not be pleasant.
Comparing 9/11 to SA fault?
Afaik it was a way older FS version...

Well, you name a disaster that affects the map of a video game based on the real world. I'm not trying to comment on the destruction. I'm suggesting how it would be modded in the game. The example I provided is valid.

You're right, though: the patch was for FS2000. I used FSX as a generic name for the Microsoft Flight SImulator, no matter the version.

EDIT: I had to look it up. FS2002 porovided the fix for the twin tower change. As it was to be released close to 9/11, MS had to patch FS2002 and push back the release date a month. I remember a lot of people commenting on flying virtual airliners into the WTC: this patch eliminated that possibility.

so what you are saying is that all games that have areas that are affected by terrorism, natural disasters or any other events should ALWAY be modified to match real world events, even if a larger propertion of the gaming world would rather more important things be focused on instead of this.

Also, technically your arguement is invalid because you are trying to tie together a natural disaster and a act of terrorism into the same catagory. Think about it, perhaps Microsoft changed the map and removed the WTC because they were asked to or did it as a mark of respect to the thousands of people who lost their lives to the hands of a group of (insert foul word here). Also, the FS games try to model the real world as closely as possible, whereas SCS make a close representation of the real world, not an exact replica, but a representation.

So i will say this, how can you compare a freak natural disaster that can not be controlled or stopped to a act of human intervention in the world such as terrorism?

Next youll be asking for SCS to remove the UK from ETS2 because, you think its not part of Europe lol.

What the hell are you talking about man?, there is no city in USA called San Andreas. Thats just a virtual city in GTA 4, and that has nothing too do with ATS or the real world.

firstly San Andreas does Exists, yes its not a city, but its the name of a FAULT LINE running up the coast of California.

Also, San Andreas WAS NOT in GTA 4, San Andreas is the STATE that is in GTA 5 and in the game GTA: San Andreas which Features Los Santos (LA) San Ferro (Cant Remember its spelling but its based off of San Franscisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas).

Here's something to think about for you... What would you prefer to see if the Yellowstone super volcano erupted?
If you are gonna do it, might as well do it big, right?
Guess we could think about what would happen if the continent split at the continental divide. At least SCS might not have to worry about finishing the east coast.

Ah okay sorry i dident know that, i thought San Andreas was just a fake city that Rockstar made up. But anyway thanks for letting me know man, anyway i doubt it will be in ATS then. But of course for all i know mayby SCS will implent it now after they annonuched that they will make the mapscale bigger.

Once the disaster is over... in a day or so when the initial shock of the incident has faded, I think the SCS programmers should put in a long section of those transparent yellow arrows near the jagged cliff left behind along the fault-line. That way we won't accidently damage our tricked-out rigs by driving into the affected areas. Pop in a couple of new ports to deliver to and get to work on some new states. I guarantee as soon as we have some of those beautiful mountain states, we won't even remember that chunk of dirt that fell into the Pacific.

Do you even know WHERE the San Andreas Fault actually runs? if you did you wouldnt be saying that. Besides, what business does a game and developer have with political, ethical and generalised notions of one human being? none. Just because its forecast that theres a possibility that something could happen, doesnt mean to say it will happen. Hell, the weather forecast could predict that we could have blue skies and sunshie, but in reality it could be pouring with rain the entire day. Besides, just because the SA fault shifts, doesnt mean that the whole of California would sink into the sea, not unless people dig miles underground and hand carve a great wedge underneath the state so that if it does seperate, it would disapear.

People forget that an EarthQuake is just the movement of 2 tectonic plates, hell, the world is made up of these plates, fault lines tend to mark the edges of 2 plates where they connect, Quakes occur when one plate slips past another plate slightly, whether its vertically or laterally, that causes the ground to trmour as the pressure built is released.

The greatest Risk California has is that wildfires get out of control or that a massive tsunami that is set off by a Quake the other side of the Ocean slams the coast, if that happens, you could kiss goodbye to a lot of the western side of the US, Canada and Mexico amongst other places.

Do y'all (including me) actually realize we're discussing about one of the most pointless things ever... This thread has a very very small relation to ATS... I guess it's better to end it here :steammocking:

its no worse than the ETS discussion about removing Britan after they voted to leave the EU. At least this one involves part of a landmass being destoryed, not a political union.

Something like that does actually exist?! :steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm:

... the San Andreas Fault is a geological thing...it´s a giant gap between 2 "earth plates", which rub against each other and every now and then cause earthquakes, especially L.A. and San Francisco had some pretty "famous" ones... so no, SCS won´t put it in, because i doubt they have interest to simulate tectonical movement :)

I wasn't expecting it, but it does sound like the SCS steam threads ;)
4th of July caused a war on "'murica" and the south :steammocking:

Seems some thought Britan was going to pack up and move their island, take it off of the european continent. Not sure where they were going to move it to, though.
