Do you know, Idaho?
It’s time to update yourAmerican Truck Simulatorroad atlas, drivers. The big stateside truck ‘em up heads deeper into the midwest today withAmerican Truck Simulator - Idaho, adding miles and miles of the state’s valleys, potato pastures and cold hard tarmac to haul your way across - and a new Viewpoints feature to give you a fresh perspective from outside the cab.
Admittedly, what little I know about “the gem state” comes from a 15-second glance at its Wikipedia page and a handful ofNoah Gervais travelogues. I do know that Craters Of The Moon National Park looks lovely, mind, and I’m glad to see the volcanic hellscape made the jump into SCS’s facsimile.

New to the series areViewpoints, which provide a nice little cinematic shot of landmark buildings, natural wonders, while providing a little insight into the history of the land. Idaho also arrives looking a bit nicer than its predecessors, courtesy of asmall graphical updatethat added SSAO to the truck ‘em up last week. It’s a small touch, and hardly groundbreaking, but definitely helps to add a little more physicality to the game’s highways.
