Research for Faroe Islands

[plykkegaard]

I think British Islands is done in a different and larger scale than rest of Europe?

The Faroe Islands covers an area larger than of Funen/Denmark almost twice the size
Obviously usable surface for roads is a bit smaller

The number and length of tunnels is massive compared to other countries

But yes problem is suitable place for roads, tool gates, tunnels, bridges etc

Hello everybody!
I want offer you optimal plan for including Faroe islands. So, how do you think about that?
Torshavn plan:

Faroe islands plan:


I also think, that if Faroe islands will looks in ETS2 a little bit bigger, I think, that this is not so terrible, because in ETS2 map background is not drawen Faroe Islands (if Faroe Islands will included in ETS2 map, it will looks like "roads on the ocean")
So, i think, this plan is very good for representing. About 25-40 ingame km's for Faroe Islands [from Torshavn to eAcres farm company] (even, if IRL the road lenght is 19 km), and it will OK.
I selected this road, because, IMO it is one of the beautifullest (according to satellite image), and there is also is possibilities to see another islands from this road.
Want to repeat: If Faroe Islands will looks a little bit larger in ETS2 game (my offered plan), this is nothing.

BRO, your plan is great

I think that is a good plan. That road has some buityful scenarie and a tunnel. But I would prefer road 10, becauise it goes over the mountains and has some steep hills to climb. And as far as I remember it is about 40 km irl.
Just my tought

I love that plan. Just to give people an idea, here's a video of Road 10 to Torshavn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBzXa9xFLiM

Can we turn this in to a poll?

EDIT: And if we get more yes votes we can include them

This film clip has some nice views of road 10 over the mountains. There is only a tiny bit in the other clip above.

Here are the time marks when road 10 is on screen:- 0:00-0:05! 0:11-0:30 looking down on road 50 at the closest shoreline! 1:20-1:28 Tórshavn in the background! 1:46-2:09!

If the road was taken to the next village Kollafjørð, witch road 10 and 50 is leading to, there is a harbor, a couple off fish factory's and fish-farms. Don´t know if it work but here is a link to a picture https://www.google.dk/maps/@62.096975,- ... 0!2e1!3e10

That is actually the small village I grew up in

I can be a bit cray and always up for a challenge don't know how it turns out though

1) Is possible to model heights/hills/mountains using eg this kind of overlay/blueprint?
It's just a snippet

Concept for Faroe Islands, Map is not scaled down

Thorshavn: Ferry, garage, gas, service, 1 company + 2 companies outside city
Klaksvik: Gas, 1 company + 1 company outside city
Trongisvagur: Ferry (from Reykjavik), 1 or 2 companies
EDIT: Not Reykjavik but Thorshavn

Companies and roads are just suggestions, not all should be included
Red circle is a small city and green circles indicates a company

Concept

I will add download link to all files once I have it scaled down to 1:15

I think that this is pretty much overcrowded.. Tórshavn with service, garage, eurogoodies and one another company in the town and eAcres outside should be enough.

Again, it is only my suggestion.
