ETS2 France DLC is out

[Shilka]

Yes, it is finally here! After last weeks update, where the existing parts of France got reworked (and more features added, including choosing parking difficulty), the 'Vive la France' DLC is now out. It adds Southern France, which might not seem like much, but in content it is comparable to the Scandinavia DLC:

• 20,000 km of new roads and highways
  
• Famous landmarks, recognizable places
  
• 15 new cities
  
• Rural French villages and sceneries
  
• Enhanced vegetation, new forest ecosystems
  
• New local companies to work for
  
• French tollgate system
  
• New industries including 5 nuclear plant zones
  
• New cargoes to haul

I must say, it looks good, both quality and quantity wise. I'll be getting this soon, will you too?

I may have to go back to ETS as ATS is just a massive disappointment to me so far.

How is the scaling on the France DLC Shilka?

 

[Shilka]

I can't really say as I haven't got it yet
Got a good impression from the streams I saw though.

BTW, ATS rescale is in beta for a while now, curious how that will pan out when it releases...

Oh ya good point lol.

The scale of ATS isn't really the problem for me. The problem is there are 3 states which isn't near enough content.

YEah, new states will take a while... They basicly put all their mappers on the rescale project... This is what they said about new state development when they announced the rescale:

There is one thing that we need from you though - patience. It will take several months to re-scale the existing world before we can move on to building completely new areas and DLC. The map designers are in fact hard at work already on the re-scaling project. To help reduce the turn around time of new state DLC during this renovation, a large part of the 3D assets team is working on vegetation, buildings, landmarks, and any new prefabs we need for new state DLC. And in the middle of all of this, our hope is to grow the company enough to have two map designer teams working in parallel on growing North America both Northward and Eastward at the same time.

So i'm not expecting any new states soon. Hopefully things will pick up a bit of speed after the rescale is done though...
