Lol interesting.. How accurate is this game as far as locations go?

[Smz]

Hmm, hard to say. It's not the same scale as in real life. I also need to get a truck to freely explore since you don't start with one right away. I know it doesn't have one part of Las Cruces, as it wasn't there at all when going towards Alamogordo or Albuquerque. The places it has listed on the map are: Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Artesia, Carlsbad, Hobbs, Roswell, Clovis, Socorro, Tucumcari, Raton, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Farmington, and Gallup.

 

Looking closer at the map, it's probably a much smaller scale. So it probably only really has one or two notable things and not much else. Most of it I still won't recognize due to not being there or haven't been there in ages. lol

 

As for the rest of ATS, the states are Arizona, Nevada, and California. Can't really say how it compares to Euro Truck, but it's probably just a bit behind. The game is also on PC only, nothing for a console release that I'm aware of.

A quick reply since I just did a route from Alamogordo to Clovis. Looks like not real accurate. I saw part of Elida, but Portales wasn't there. Like... at all. So they can put something small like Elida but not any part of Portales, even if it is just like one building. lol

HAHAHA I think I'd get that game just to drive my truck (literally) through places in Portales/Clovis and I guess Elida. 

 

All Elida Should have is an Allsups. haha, pretty much all there is there.

I'm surprised that neither one of these are on consoles. Controller is decent enough, and I'm certain that the wheel and pedal ones can work with the PS4, if you spend the extra for it that is. I'm sticking with a controller of course. lol

 

I don't know what the scale for Clovis is, though I'm not going to expect anything. Probably just a few buildings and rest stop I bet. Will see that eventually. lol

Yo dawg, so I heard you liked scrolling pages.... lol

This is mostly of "Clovis," with some of "Roswell." There's a reason I use quotes on this. Putting it in spoiler for the two towns so it's not a huge scroll each time.

Spoiler

Going in. Can't say much on the right side, but I know the left side for sure.


Bridge over the tracks.




Hmmm... but I don't know about this. lol

Posting the rest without comments for each one. I think Walbert is for Walmart, and Charged is for Best Buy (the latter isn't in here, but I saw that in other spots.) Some others should be obvious, I think. Maybe. lol



































So it seems like just the bridge and silos/factory is close, and the rest is whatever? Might have been a few years, but just doesn't seem right. Obviously store names won't be the same as in real life. It's fairly small and doesn't really have much else besides this. Also, I have the settings turned down so it doesn't look as good on stuff.





This is what's between Roswell and Clovis. Yeah... I think it's supposed to be Elida or something? Not sure about that ranch. lol

Didn't get any just before, so jumping right in.


That traffic.


Don't try this at home! LOL

This order might be wrong as imgur decided to have issues at this point. First time uploading a lot of once to here. lol

And that's all for those two towns. Don't plan on taking anymore pics unless when I eventually go over into Nevada for Las Vegas. lol


Current stats. Also, got like 3% damage on the truck doing that too. LOL Not really easy to get pics and drive at the same time, unless I'm doing it wrong. Also why I did it with no trailer attached.


What.

I'm not sure what's going on for that plane. I need to look at that plane again to see how it looks on the other side. Thought this would be a simple parking, but nope. Not with that trailer type! lol I actually did get it into the plane, but apparently not pixel perfect and just gave up as I didn't want to do it again. So lost out on the extra 90 exp. Oh well.

Las Cruces suffers the same thing as Clovis. I mean, I can recognize it as Las Cruces, but it's the general small section with familiar things surrounding it. I know about the section it has, and just missing a ton. I know it's not going for 100% scale and such, just wow. Going from there to Clovis, it almost jumps right to Alamogordo, and of course I already said that Portales doesn't exist on the game. I wonder what they get the map info from and how they decide to scale. lol While no, Portales isn't as big as Las Cruces, but it's not a tiny blip either. Maybe I'm just nitpicking a lot since I know this section decent enough. lol

So yeah, there's the pics I took. Now you can see it in bad quality with Tiranadel driving in America.
