Brasil DLC

[NueweNvrlatskijSnkPky]

develop Brasil

[Wolfgang]

Won't happen within the next decade. Also, how about owning the game first?

[davemon]

Even if they developed southward through Mexico into Central America with ATS, ultimately you can't drive a truck through the Darien Gap. So it seems like there'd need to be a different continent package altogether, or else Brazil would be standalone.

[Ryu]

OP does own ETS2 and may have seen/used the EAA map (Brasil) and thought it might make better sense to have Brasil added to ATS instead?

As far as the Darien Gap is concerned, there are vehicle ferries in real life, and you will be pleased to know SCS already knows how to implement ferries in the game. ;)

Being from the east coast, it's the Cape May-Lewes ferry I am anxious to see. It's good to know they'll be able to do it easily when they get all the way east.

This is not South American Truck smuggling simulator.

You're absolutely correct! It is American Truck Simulator and they most assuredly use American trucks in South America. ;)

Brazil is certainly in America, but I would much rather have Canada. I'm sure there are a lot of Canadian (and American) players who would agree.

I don't see any American trucks sold in this list from 2023:

That is a strange "statistics" site, indeed. I went to see if they had comparables for all the SA countries but they don't. Oddly, they mention several countries, but in each is a differing statistic with no overlap of that particular statistic for ANY other country. And then they throw Mexico at the bottom of the list where, incidentally, Freightliner was/is the leading commercial brand.

It was the first that came up that used the word truck like I use it, some other links Google came up with were about pick up trucks, but a search with "semi" came up with the same stuff.

Obviously idk the numbers, but it's my understanding that the truck brands we have in game are mostly sold in the US (obviously :-) , Canada and Mexico, and maybe a few Central American countries where their market share may be higher than trucks from elsewhere, but the majority of truck sales in South America is most likely from European or Asian manufacturers.

What map.. shows Brasil... located in America ?

Cause my maps shows the country of Brasil located on a different continent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas

The Americas, sometimes collectively called America, [...] are a landmass comprising the totality of North America and South America.

Every map does that.

I can show you a map of America in The Netherlands though that doesn't have Brasil:

Not to mention the fact that the game is focused on American trucks, and not the country commonly referred to as "America" in the same way that ETS2 is focused on European trucks and not the EU or the continent of Europe.

If the predominant trucks being used in SA are European, then no, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to push the game that far south, but certainly Mexico, Canada and, I have no doubt, other Central American countries use American trucks and so those locations wouldn't be out of place for using our American trucks.

Also, @OP, ETS2 has the EAA map, maybe that's something for you.
