ATS 1.31 update upgrades existing states

[Shilka]

SCS has announced in their blog that the upcoming 1.31 version of American Truck Simulator will include small and large additions to the existing maps of California, Nevada and Arizona. Things might be changed around, for example like the landslide covering highway 1, but there will also be new additions, like the CA 120; Tioga Pass in California.

Good news for Euro Truck Simulator 2 owners too, as SCS has declared that we can look forward to similar updates for the existing map of ETS2 as well later this year

Below, some screenshots of the Tioga Pass WIP;
