American Truck Sim | Idaho Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

SCS Software have revealed preview images of the upcoming Idaho expansion pack DLC, currently in development for American Truck Simulator.

Looking resplendent in sunrise conditions, the latest previews from the upcoming the Idaho map expansion for American Truck are very much a sight to behold - showcasing the graphical power of the simulation that continues to grow in both scale and depth.

About the Content
Idaho is a northwestern U.S. state known for mountainous landscapes, and vast swaths of protected wilderness and outdoor recreation areas. The capital, Boise, is set in the Rocky Mountain foothills and is bisected by the Boise River, which is popular for rafting and fishing.

The state covers two time zones, runs from Canada to Nevada, and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains and farmland dominate the state’s landscape. The panhandle has emerald green hillsides, timbered mountains and pristine lakes. Central Idaho is covered with jagged peaks. The Snake River Plain, with its wide open vistas, irrigated farm lands and vibrant cities forms the character of Southern Idaho.

No release date has been revealed for the latest new expansion to American Truck Sim, however I'm sure you will agree that the current state of the WIP build these shots are taken from, we are surely looking at a release window in the early part of this year.

Not to mention that after having this for a while I can say for me that after about 14 hours the game has become very boring and too repetitive and nooo amount of over priced DLC's can fix that !

A little too much like, dare I say it, work? That's why I've never been tempted to purchase it. Otherwise, though, I'm in total fascination at the world they've created.

If you own it, you might try playing it like Jimmy Broadbent does.

14 hours?

I have 1058 hours in ETS2 and 478 hours in ATS!! I play them to relax (along with Train Sim World 2020).

Good Trucking Sim no doubt, but by the time they get the rest of the upper US 48 states I will be out about $516.00 usd! NOW THATS ONE VERY EXPENSIVE GAME......Boom dang they snagged you unaware.....i will add this when its under $0.50 just so I don't feel stupid.Not to mention that after having this for a while I can say for me that after about 14 hours the game has become very boring and too repetitive and nooo amount of over priced DLC's can fix that !

If you live in the countries simulated (or a similar environment) and you tend to drive a lot, I can see how this might not appeal to you. Me personally, I only lived in the US for a handful of years and where I live we don't drive any great distances, so I put on the radio stations (typically classic hits type of stuff or jazz), sing along to a few tunes, relax and reminisce about times past when I did go on road trips in the US...it helps to unwind after a long day's work. I don't do it as often now, but it's all about the mindset IMO.
