That's a good poll over on the SCS forum. I voted yesterday for the 1.19 scale. Currently, 90% - 44 votes out of 49 are in favour of increasing the map scale to at least that of its older sibling, ETS-2. Driving through the current two States in 1.34 scale is just too short.

1:19 or best 1:15, but then again, I am a fan player who doesn't mind doing one delivery for half a real day.
There are many people, really many who want to play games just for casual fun for 30min-2hours a day max and not live inside games after work like I mostly do.
So I understand both camps and believe that there is a hard time finding a solution to satisfy all.
But I would like to know a detailed official reason why such a small scale, even I folloved the game from 1st announcement more than 2 years ago, I was still surprised how small those 2 states are making it my only real complain about the game as I couldn't possibly imagine the size of it from media available prior release.
I miss the open super long American roads and the feel of freedom that comes with it in the game.
I am just waiting for a map mod team to do the same as Promods did in ETS2, I still love ATS, but it got somehow stale for me and that on just lvl12

Honestly when more is added it will be fine. Imagine ETS2 with UK and France only. A lot of people would be put off or simply don't have the time for larger scale. With larger scale there must be downsides too. ETS2 the scenery is boring and looks the same all over vanilla Europe because of the scale.

1:19 for sure, the deliverys felt much longer on it in ETS2 then they do with 1:34 on USA

[Pistol Packin' Mama]

I'd prefer the current scale tbh; allows for better map design over ETS2's copy and paste road system.

[EvolGrinZ]

For now 1:19 would be nice, but thinking into the future when all states are released....I wouldn't want to drive from coast to coast on 1:19 scale.
So with the far future in mind, 1:34 scale would be best.

I don't think it matters anyway. SCS won't change the map scale, as they would have to redo much of their work. And they probably came up with this 1:34.5 scale after long debates on meetings, and while considering how far they want to expand the map in the following years (full Canada?, full Mexico?, etc.).

But that's just it. SCS shouldn't have to pander to those casual gamers who aren't as serious or enthusiastic as the dedicated simmer like you and me.

All those casual simmers have to do is only take the shorter job offers and if they cannot finish their game session in One sitting then we have an option called 'SAVE'. I don't see why we should have a dumbed down game regards smaller map scale just for them.

i´d say a 1:24 would be a good sweetspot... but yea, the bigger the better of course :D

How so? There are most probably way more casuals than hardcore players.
