SCS Software have revealed some interesting new previews from the upcoming Utah DLC map expansion for American Truck Simulator.
Due to launch this November, the Utah DLC in development for American Truck Sim looks to contain many of the expected visual delights from the american state - and today we get a look at... signs!
Yes, in a simulation packed full of things that don't sound particular interesting on face value, but in reality are rather exceptional when you sit down behind the rig and have a go for yourself, signs are indeed an important immersion aspect when one is simulating the daily challenges of long distance truck driving across the United States of America.
Before the luxury of GPS navigation, making a journey across multiple states was tough work. Opening large paper maps, trying to pinpoint your location and looking for landmarks often made a driver's job very frustrating. However, there was one thing that kept truckers in the know of their location, The Welcome Sign.
Famously found on state borders (and also on Instagram), it is a sure sign that you are entering a new province. Each one decorated with their own unique artwork which often depicts famous landmarks or national parks, and the state's slogan.
However, in some US States, these signs are often found as you enter a new town. Appearing in all different shapes and sizes, they are often designed around the cities slogan and surroundings. They also feature landmarks unique to the town, such as universities and museums.
So you can be sure wherever your journey leads you, Utah and its signs welcome you and the millions of travelers that pass by them every year.
