Interstate vs Highway

[{NERV} jacknozwad]

So please don't misunderstand me. I love this application however some sim elements are really driving me crazy. In the USA Interstates will never have cross streets or stop lights or any kind of cross traffic. Highways do. When I'm on an interstate in ATS I commonly see cross streets as well as stop lights. That's really not very representative of the American road systems. I-15 as well as pretty much every other interstate in game has several of these locations and its just wrong. Anyone else feel this way?

Yeah, been brought up in several threads. Along with no merge lanes random passed speed zones etc. This is something we need to keep complaining about though as it's a total bs move and sucks the fun and immersion out of it.

Yep, same here :( Hopefully when Arizona comes out SCS will have fixed those issues!

And as long as your not making a trucking simulator in the US, that's perfectly fine not having looked into it.

Yeah if you're not from the US it won't bother you much at all, similar to how in ETS2 a lot of Americans were unaware of the errors in the map until Europeans told us. Now I understand how you guys feel but it'd be nice if SCS had learned from that and improved it in this version, especially since SCS was targeting the American fanbase

I can't tell you how many time I've gotten on a "Interstate" in game. set my cruise and rounded a bend and slammed on my brakes cause of stopped traffic due to a light........

Yeah, which is utterly dumping on the entire concept of the interstate system.

I haven't heard a video game called an 'application' since 1998.

this is very true. If its on a phone its an app. I definatly dated myself using the actual word application instead of app....... :/ oh well. still doesn't change the fact ATS doesn't do Interstates right!!! Damn kids get my sim games right and fix yer interstates!.... wait now im sounding old again.

I know you pain.
Playing ETS2, we don't have real motorways (Autobahn) either.
Worst part? SCS didn't fix it. And probably wont. Only chance is to wait for a modder community to remake the maps.

I have seen several people say this and I always wondered what they expected. We got the first videos of the game over a year ago and everything we heard or saw since never made me believe we were getting anything radically different than ETS.

Im not saying i expected something drastically diferent. But some simple interstate rules just aren't there and that should be expected.
