Development in Russia

[Aussie Trucker]

I've never been to Russia so I have no idea how the roads are but the way they are done in the jazzy version is great. The mix of smooth and rough highways, the obstacles (parked vehicles etc) and the roads that turn to dirt and become so rough that it takes a good driver to get through them with a load are great. Reminds me alot of driving through so of our rougher country along the kinds of roads you know you're going to loose CB antennas, pin stripe the paint and give the suspension a work out, the kinds of roads where you regret installing the bostrum seat because your head keeps bouncing off the roof. It would be a shame to loose roads like that, especially if that's how Russian roads are.

Believe Russia is one of the ugliest countries that i ever seen in my life
In terms of roads nothing to choose as a standard , they are far behind the real infrastructure that exist in western Europe
The new highways in Hungary,Croatia, Romania or Bulgaria are better that those in Russia
IMO
The most beautiful new highways are the ones made in Poland

But this doesn't stop the moders to start building Russia of course , they will make the country look very nice

I'm sure anyone can make the Russian scenery look nice it would just be a shame to loose the randomness of the roads if that's what they really are like.

There is one road on the Russian maps (south of Mstsislaw I think it is) where the road is all dirt, it's rough, there is machinery and even a fire truck on the road's edge and a bogged truck near the end of the road. It's a challenge without a trailer but with a trailer it's great fun and it's not as simple as just traveling the road most traveled, you have to aim the truck and get it right everytime. It took me several times to 'discover' the entire stretch of road.

There is also a construction yard on the road that travels north west from Moscow to St Petereburg (I think), I don't remember what town it's associated with but you have to drive in off a busy road and traverse minor hills, and holes and get around the building to get your load then it's a tight yard to get your trailer out and an effort to get back to the road. The only real bummer is that if you do get stuck you have to call a tow from whatever town is closest where as on a real construction site there would be options to pull you out.

But it's those sort of roads and challenges that make the game better I think. Anyone can put a truck between two white lines and get from point a to point b if it's bitumen all the way.

And if you build Яussia don't forget about the stupid AI

[KubaJAM]

I love those Russian compilations .

It's possible to make the Russian roads have an awful structure, ProMods have enough assets to be able to do so .

Yaussia?
And the stupid AI is already implemented in the game

can promods please don't disturb Russia?


I love RusMaps alot and I hope if Promods goes into Russia, it will remain compatible.


If it becomes no longer compatible, I'm afraid I will be dropping promods especially since northern DLC is coming out.

[LoaderSaints]

They will not remain compatible as RusMap is made with a wrong scale. What this basically means is that the map is bigger than it should be. :/

Also, ProMods will make some of the cities RusMap has, such as St. Petersburg, Pskov and Vyborg (not sure if that last one is in the game, i don't use it). You wouldn't want two Pskovs in the game, now would you?
