Allan’s America Background Map 4K - Light

Allan’s America Background Maps — 16K V3.0

A major visual update for Dark, Dark Coloured and Light!

• 16K textures with improved encoding for cleaner terrain detail.

• Clearer country borders, including the USA, Canada and Mexico—muted gold on the dark editions and crimson red on Light.

• Smaller player arrows across all zoom levels.

• Updated GUOA coastline around Lochburn.

• ATMX, GUOA and Island Map islands retained, with existing map alignment preserved.

Enable one background edition at a time, replacing your previous version. If you use GMC’s optional Route Adviser or Fullscreen Maps on 1.62, use the latest corrected files too.

No game-version restrictions are set in the background-map manifests.

V2.2.1 — Clearer job-map road colours

• Improved the distinction between explored and unexplored roads on the job-selection map: amber for explored roads and grey for unexplored roads.

• Light editions retain a darker grey for better contrast against the lighter background.

• Compatibility with Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks is preserved. Without a colour pack, the background uses its own defaults; compatible colour packs placed above it retain their own colours.

• Removed release numbers from artwork to prevent outdated version labels.

Terrain, coastlines, map coverage, alignment and zoom settings are unchanged.

Enable only one background edition/version at a time.

ATS V2.2 — Light, Dark and Dark Coloured

• Added support/compatibility for Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks for ATS and ETS2.

• Revised the ATMX eastern coastline and restored water beneath the sea-crossing bridges.

• Preserved each edition’s default colours, map alignment and zoom settings.

• Updated version artwork and installation guidance.

Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks is a collection of 9 individual UI colour packs that work across both games. The download also includes two support packages for the base UI map—one for each game.

Colour packs are optional and downloaded separately. Place your chosen compatible colour pack above the background and follow Jacob’s installation instructions. Without a colour pack, the background retains its default colours.

Enable only one background edition at a time. FullScreen Maps is optional and also goes above the background.

V2.1 — World Map Compatibility Fix

• Fixed the background’s interface mismatch that could display “no_gps_different_mode” on ATS 1.60.
• Uses the game’s own World Map interface.
• One package per edition for ATS 1.60 and 1.61.
• Terrain textures, placements, colours and zoom settings remain unchanged.

Use only one background map at a time. Separate UI or Fullscreen mods can override the World Map interface.

V2.0 — ATS Background Map Update

• Extended the original ATMX land area to cover its updated southern road.
• Improved coastal alignment around Ensenada, San Felipe, Guaymas/Ciudad Obregón, Cabo San Lucas, mid-Baja, Punta Abreojos and Loreto.
• Reduced scenery showing through behind the standard world map. FullScreen Maps remains optional.
• Retained the high-resolution terrain detail and existing zoom settings.
• Preserved unaffected areas and kept coastline adjustments local.

Some smaller coastal mismatches remain, particularly with different map combinations.
