Earlier this year, 4 participants from our American Truck Simulator map group had the ability to go to Nebraska, along with various other bordering states in the United States. The function of their traveling was to collect referrals and also details, along with to motivate them to prepare for future jobs. In this blog site, we will certainly show you some highlights of what the group stood up to. However, please bear in mind that the details and also media provided right here do not validate what our upcoming DLC will certainly consist of.
The group containing Simon Endt (Saimon), Jan Vackar (Vacky), Antonin Kachlar (Tony), and also Petra Garlikova (Draky), triggered on fairly the trip! Driving over 4,000 miles in 2 week, the group took care of to go to significant cities, depots, real-life point of views, vehicle quits, and also numerous various other places as well.
“We visited the world’s largest train depot in North Platte, looked at Lake McConaughy, and crisscrossed cities like Grand Island, Columbus, Norfolk, and more. We even went on foot to the Scottsbluff monument.” Simon show to us. They likewise saw some special spots such as ‘Carhenge’ – a wacky pop-culture symbol which includes 39 cars repainted and also set up to resemble the popular ‘Stonehenge’ in the United Kingdom.
The group was likewise able to check out some locations they were not anticipating to go to; many thanks to their GPS. One such trip led them with an off-road “shortcut” with a woodland. Luckily for the group, the roadway advised them this was not the best course, as they located a golf cart stuck in the mud up in advance. This little minute advised the group that having the best paths for vehicle vehicle drivers is very important, however that difficult paths can be enjoyable as well.
“We all agree that visiting America has opened our eyes. It is important (for us) to experience it and pass the information on (to our teams back in the office). The materials from which we use (from various online sources) are a wonderful inspiration, but seeing the traffic on the roads, the complexity of each logistics area, the diversity and depth of the landscape, you have to experience it.” Simon informs us.
Trips similar to this are vital to the group, as on the internet images can be tricking, particularly when it involves elevation and also range. Simon informs us “What we realized is how different… the images we usually use (for references), because these images are often distorted compared to reality. The pictures are often captured with a small focal distance (fish eye) which makes everything smaller and further away, but in reality, it is the opposite, everything seems bigger and closer. That’s something we need to relay to our team. And speaking of closer things, we also get pretty close to some bison at one location, so exciting!”
With each quit, the group found out something brand-new regarding the location they remained in. “America surprised us with its uniqueness, and we fell in love with something different in each State”. Simon and also the group likewise stressed the relevance of producing equilibrium in each state the group creates.
“I believe every state has its own spirit.” Simon informs us “something that is known, that is common everywhere and what defines the whole state. Sometimes it is all about small details, those details created through the history and culture of each state, but you will always feel something is different when you cross the borders”. “It is something very important to me, so those who live there will recognize their state and visitors will remember it”.
We expect sharing just how these study journeys convert over to our online leisure of the states in the future. Until after that, we wish you appreciated this little understanding on the procedure of producing a brand-new State/area, and also just how our groups acquire experience and also understanding of the states. Don’t neglect to include Nebraska to your Steam wishlist!
