1.62 Update: Road Trip - Tourist Boards Update

[♕-SlawkA-♕]

We are excited to see so many of you already cruising the roads of American Truck Simulator in the brand-new Ford cars included with the Road Trip: Ford DLC, released last month. And if you have been enjoying the Atlas feature that comes with the DLC, we have more in store for you!

With the 1.62 update, we are putting an extra focus on expanding this exploration feature to more map expansions. You can look forward to discovering new Tourist Boards with fresh Points of Interest, Viewpoints, and Photo Trophies for you to uncover in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Washington, and Louisiana, with one Tourist Board added to each of these states, as well as Nebraska, which will receive two Tourist Boards, with a new postcard rewarded to you for every one of these completed!

But that's not all. As Route 66 celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and we completed its journey across American Truck Simulator with the release of the Illinois DLC in May, we are also adding a new Cross-Border Tourist Board dedicated specifically to this iconic route.

The Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board will feature exploration locations along the legendary highway across Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Based on the DLCs you own, the Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board will be represented by one active Tourist Board in Atlas and the world. Visiting it will uncover all available exploration locations across the Cross-Border Tourist Board in the states you own.

If you don't own all the relevant map expansions, you can still explore the locations available in the states you own. However, to unlock the special postcard reward, you will need to own all the map expansions covered by the Route 66 Cross-Border Tourist Board and visit every exploration location associated with it. And there's an extra treat, too! Completing this Cross-Border Tourist Board will also reward you with a special Route 66 Air Freshener accessory!

If you activate the Cross-Border Tourist Board without owning all the map expansions it covers, a pop-up window will inform you which DLCs you are missing. You can also find this information in the Atlas interface, under the Cross-Border Tourist Board's list of individual locations, where you can see which exploration locations are missing and which DLCs they belong to.

The Cross-Border Tourist Board will still appear in the “List of All Tourist Boards” even if you don't own all the required map expansions, but don't worry, it won't affect your statistics in Atlas Overview or Career Progress.

We hope you will enjoy exploring the new Tourist Boards when the 1.62 update releases! If you're excited to do that, make sure to get the already released Road Trip: Ford DLC on Steam now, or add the upcoming Road Trip: RAM & Dodge DLC to your Steam wishlist.
