Drove all the way down to Basel. And stayed the night there before finding a new cargo in Bern.
Early bird!
Some tragic weather between Bern and Verona, the next location.
The always fun check ups at the border.
Milan...
Verona > Kielce (Poland)
Pulled over at the Polish border...
A famous sign

The skies will always be beautiful in this game...
Next cargo was waiting for me at the HUGE distribution centers in Piotrkow Trybunalski. Almost got lost just finding where to load
Back in Germany, never been to Chemnitz so that was fun to see.
Next batch of shots was after a week of pure driving without thinking about making content. I made it to Turkey and this is back to Bulgaria.
Taking a break after the hefty border controls...
And on the road again!

I have no idea why I haven't tried this mod before, it's fantastic and makes the already quite cool new Mercedes even cooler with the new dashboard.
I also decided to stand out a bit more by making a trailer skin!
Gotta love Vienna
.... and that's me out again, for the forseeable future. Just as I got motivated to drive and photograph more of my stuff on ETS, the game crashed after setting off outside Vienna, deleting my profile. Literally vanished, no idea where it went.
I found an older profile which I completely stripped down and setup again, and then spent about 2 hours settling in and remaking my Actros. Only for it to crash right after finishing the truck, not having saved ANYTHING in the meantime leaving me back at square one.
I have more important stuff to do this week than spending hours rebuilding stuff I already had on this game, especially when it's this prone to crashing. Quite annoyed by that.

Granted - it did stink quite a bit that everything went down the drain and an effort to rebuild it didn't have much more success. However, after a week of other stuff on my mind, the fix was quite simple and I'm ready to go trucking again.
Although predominantly to check out the new Daf XG+.
Here it is, in my company's dark blue in XG+ 520 guise. I can't promise to use it a lot - quite enjoying the Mercedes - but it is a very solid truck. The modern dashboard is gorgeous and works well, the engine is quiet, and it looks quite good in my opinion!
Infamous Millau viaduct.
Free old vs new comparision.
Fun fact: I was on the A1 in the Netherlands the other day and actually spotted a Daf (presumably a regular XG) before it was revealed, dressed in camouflage. I assumed it was some kind of Scania S and I can sort of see why. I wouldn't say it's my favorite truck looks wise, but it's refreshing for Daf and not terrible either. If you compare it to the new Iveco S-Way for example, now that is a truck I don't find quite as appealing
Anyway, back on the road and a lovely sunrise.
Good news:
The MP5 is also back! It's taken a while to get everything back to what it once was, so I did some mods in the meantime. Mainly adding all the Edition 1 bits, because it was supposed to be one. The Kelsa bar on the bottom is now the one that wraps around the entire front bumper and the foglights are now on with the daytime lights. It's a very ''lit up'' truck this was, but I like it a lot nevertheless.
Back with more journeys soon!

Great shots. Have to say I prefer the Scania, partly because of the colour - that dark blue on the Merc and Daf makes it hard to see details - but you've got it looking fantastic with that griffin and all the decorations.
