This may have been asked before but, does anyone have an official link to the Russia Map?

I used the link on the SCS Forums, which @spinner posted here 👍

I think it was somewhere between Smolensk , Velizh and Nevel. There is a dip in the road as you pass under a bridge. The impact was right at the bottom of the dip. (I wonder if maybe my trailer clipped the underside of the bridge ?)

Yeah , thats the Ohaha FH. Its a quality model with lots of options



I can highly recommend the following mods:
GTM Scania Reworks v1.4 http://ets2addons.com/mod/gtm-scania-reworks/

Scania Sound mod http://ets2addons.com/mod/scania-v8-sound-mod-by-abasstreppas-11/ (this is a great sound , not over the top like a lot of others)

Volvo FH 2013 by Ohaha http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=127596

Promods. A top quality map expansion. http://promods.net/index.php

Russia map v1.3.5 requires Going East DLC. Compatible with Promods map (and others). http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=155934&start=30#p281077

Browse the scs forums , anything that is good quality will stand out. http://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=24

@Dean, could you collect the links from @Leggy1 and put them in the OP, for easy finding?

That way, others that want them won't need to ask, or search through the whole thread.

Poland rebuilding was also updated to v1.71a on 26th August. http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=163832

I didn't notice until last night , my game was crashing near Opole so I went looking for the cause.

Do you recommend Poland rebuilding? I have heard it is good.

 

[spinner]

Yeah , it adds more detail to existing roads and towns in Poland as well as quite a few new ones. Some of the new coastal towns have ferry ports which opens up more links to Scandinavia. Like the Russia map , there are roadside police here and there and detailed rest areas with plenty of parked trucks which adds character. Also some of the railway crossings don't have lights , just a stop sign.
It isn't quite as polished as Promods but still a good quality addition. The authors seem to keep it patched and up to date which is good , it is also compatible with Promods and Russia v1.3.5
I would suggest making a copy of your profile before adding it though , just in case you decide its not worth it and want to roll back your game.

 

[Leggy1]

Cool, I'll give it a go then 👍

Can never say no to more roads to explore

Can't disagree there

Seems there's another surprise dirt road in the Poland map somewhere , I haven't found it yet. This guy has though.

I just delivered 25t of furniture from Moscow to Sheffield in one session ! Almost 3000km. There wasn't just simulated yawning going on haha.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

3.53 shows map, is to the north of Poznan but west of another town (I can't read the name) will be looking for it

For anyone curious about the Poland Rebuilding map coverage , go to 11:15 on Squirrels Sunday Night Trucking stream. He is also missing the road connecting it to Russia. I haven't watched all of it yet , so there may be a solution mentioned. Something that crossed my mind just now was the order of the maps installed , as mentioned in the read me that comes with the Russian map. This may be the cause ?? Make sure to rename your files (with the zs) so they are sorted in this order in your mods folder.

Attention Promods users. Driving through Antwerpen , I got destroyed by a spawning truck at this location: http://www.promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3388&p=25611&hilit=v172+hotfix#p25611

I didn't know about the v172 hotfix until I went looking for a bug.
PS: I renamed it prromods-map-v172-hotfix.scs so it is the last of the promods files in the mod folder , otherwise it doesn't work. Yes , the double r is intentional

That's interesting, haven't seen it happen myself but looks pretty bad, and strange. Thanks for the warning 👍

Poland rebuilding in a Scania T. I had a delivery to some roadworks, awesome!

Hey cool delivery point ! Yeah there are so many roadworks and construction scenes in that map. I guess that's why its called Poland rebuilding

The spawning truck scared the crap out of me haha. Just cruising along , then suddenly I'm stopped dead , another truck and trailer on top of mine sideways. I had no idea what happened ! 100% damage to my truck , 20% to trailer. Over €100000 damage bill

Yeah that makes sense, haven't found any dirt roads yet but there was one with cats-eyes which was pretty good.

Ouch, very unexpected. But you never know what the AI will do

 

[RACECAR]

This looks very interesting. This will probably be one of the first titles I get once I get a new computer.

Are there any templates for the vehicles?

 

[Leggy1]

@RACECAR Templates for modding? You should be able to find them no problem 👍

One of the interesting delivery points in Poland rebuilding. In the grass by some roadworks , somewhere near Radom.

Another interesting find north of Radom. Some kind of truck testing centre. Seemed like a nice place for an early morning photo of the rig

@spinner Awesome pictures! 👍

Ohaha has also done a similar mod for the 2009 FH16, same sort of accessories. And this cool paint job:

In all the gameplay videos I've seen so far, I've just seen Volvos and Scanias. Does it have trucks from Kamaz, Renault or Man? Just interested in the variety.

The game includes Scania, Volvo, Iveco, Daf, Renault, Mercedes (called Majestic) and MAN. There are many other manufacturers that can be added through mods.

Would just like to point out, the Humble store has this game for €5,99 for about 10 more days. Go tell your friends and families!

Oh, and @RACECAR, since he was interested too.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

I've just thought of a MOD that would be quite cool for us GTP'ers. A racing logistics mod! Have racing team skinned trucks and special motorsports style trailers, with the drop off locations being at race tracks that are located within the current map!

If only I knew what that was in US Dollars. I hope its cheap though.

Awesome idea. I've already just downloaded the templates for the trucks themselves so I'd definitely be up for that 👍
