ATS - Project West

[benpiller]

I was thinking if it was possible to enlarge all the exit/merging highway intersections.... because they are way too small in ATS. If you drive on the highway, you can see how slowly the exit lanes are getting "separated" from the highway. Also the merging lanes. They should be longer, but in ATS they are so sudden. I Think the more lane reworks on highways are great work in CA, but if it would be possible to make the highway intersections "bigger" and more "stretched" then i think it would bring the whole thing closer to realism!

That sounds like it would require editing the road prefabs for the interchanges. I don't like the mergers either not just cause they look European but they don't seem to neatly merge with the incoming lane either just kind of cut off at the end, which makes the merging feel forced and not fluid to me.

I'm afraid some things have to be shortened due to scale of this map. It also happens in ETS.

Yeah i've got the idea of the 1:20 scale, but those intersections are smaller than the european ones! All i need is just the exits and merge lanes to be longer as in real life they are. If anyone drives (in real life of course) on an american highway, can tell the difference immediately. Or just look on the highways in street view mode. I am convinced that the intersections have to be changed for even more realistic experience! I don't do any modding, because i can't, but i want to give some advice.
I play now with Project West with the signage add-on and the project is awesome! keep up the good work!

or


So here is the size comparison on a picture. I know this looks really big, but you can get the idea, how small it is in ATS. So of course this size is impossible to mod, but making it bigger maybe would have it's benefits. And sorry to bother anyone with this, i just wanted to share my thoughts.

Liking this mod so far, but it crashed on me when I am near Bakersfield (about 25 miles east)
Can someone please read the log and determine what is wrong:

Already tried disabling the signage mod and a real billboard mod I am using, didn't work.

EDIT: Disabled project West, working now.

have you used the latest version ?

[RobertKNL]

I have 1.3.2 plus ATS 1.6 fix

[OscarJuliet]

Kayenta, AZ has holes in the map that makes it impossible to do jobs there. I read that there were other holes with Project West. I even made sure I was up to date. Page 1 shows a 1.6 update fix and the project west mod. Your download only gave the project west mod. I want to know if this error of missing map pieces you can fall through is my fault or the mods fault.

[Tanksome]

You dont need 1.6 fix with 1.3.2
