SCS Software has released the much anticipated Arizona DLC for American Truck Simulator. In this latest expansion pack you can drive the streets of fifteen new cities, including the Arizona state capital, Phoenix. A section of perhaps the most famous route in the world is also represented here, Route 66! Driving this particular section of Route 66, you pass by some of the most iconic desert scenery anywhere on Earth! Flagstaff and Tucson are but a couple of the major centers you are able to drive through in this new DLC pack. Crossing the many unique bridges which span the Colorado river, you gain access to many of the regions scenic landmarks.
Actually, watching Darin drive this simulator in the SimXperience Stage four rig, it makes a welcome difference to race titles and gives anyone wanting to try their hand at a truck simulator a very good insight into just how much responsibility you take on when driving an eighteen wheeler!
