Australia, New Zealand and Mexico

Those countries use borth Euro and American trucks, wouldn't it be cool to have a game based there?

It would be great to get the chance to reach the East Coast, it would be fabulous to be able to push north towards at least 60 degs latitude and south towards the Equatorial. But ultimately, it is up to you, our fans, if this happen - you will vote with your wallets. We expect to get the right guidance from you on future growth of our team to handle the new opportunities and challenges.

The general consensus will be once they reach the smaller states east of the Mississippi that we should start seeing state packs, or multiple states in one DLC.

We, the player base, vote on continuing development with our wallets. This simply means buying the official map expansions even though they are not a required purchase.

As for the other two: Won't come anytime soon from SCS. They have their hands full with ETS2 and ATS so managing a third game is pretty much a no.

of course I would also have them complete the USA first, but once we have East and West Coast, Canada and Mexico would be nice additions

As was stated, as long as players pay for the map DLCs, SCS keeps on working on making more.

I don't speak German but I guess Mexico could be integrated into ATS while Australia and NZ could have a separate Oceania truck simulator game or something

Excuse my ignorance, but since this is American Truck Simulator, wouldn't the playable area remain in the U.S?

yes they would be separate games

[antic3]

Regardless of what it would be called Australian trucking will require much more power then is presently available in SCS trucks.
It is not unusual to see our trucks with 1,000hp. They are not any faster but pull extraordinarily heavy loads.
In the mining and general freight area's where we have Triple and Quad road trains, 100 to 150 tons need to be carried sometimes over long distances as well as 100s upon 100s of miles on dirt and gravel roads.

It's an extraordinary environment and brutal on all equipment and men

I would love to see this project happen, I think it would be very popular due to the extreme trucks and the nature of Australian infrastructure less........lol

It is American Truck Simulator, not USA Truck Simulator. And for the most part, the really relevant part are US, Canada and Mexico. I'm not too sure about this, but despite the "American" name, it may not include South America, for the reasons that they actually have a separate licensing, like how Oceania (Australia & New Zealand) does

they would have to name it North American truck simulator, in the anglosphere America is the US, although in other parts of the world it's the whole continent, the branding would be confusing and controversial

If any of you are interested in Australian Trucking go on You Tube and look at " OutBack Truckers" it's a series we have

We can Truck on Australian Roads now with Australian Maps and Australian Trucks all done by Moders in World Of Trucks .

I would rather pay SCS to make official maps and trucks to keep the trucking community alive and well

The _vast_ majority of Australian trucking uses the same kind of trucks and trailers (except maybe more B/A-doubles) as the rest of the world, on normal roads carrying normal loads. What you're talking about is a very very small percentage (which is why it gets sold as a "reality" TV show, in the same way that Deadliest Catch is not indicative of most of the commercial fishing industry in America)
