I'm probably the only one who thinks that Promods version of Norway wasn't that great.
Like the mountains.They looked like grass hills.

You're not the only one. This is the EXACT reason why we didn't merge our old Norway in the DLC version anyway.

I mean, it was impressive at the time it was made, but nowadays, it didn't age that well...

Don't ask us for a release date; we don't know either.

This is one of the reasons I like ProMods so much! The constant push to improve upon what was done before. The map just keeps getting better, especially now that SCS Scandinavia has been merged with your map and it is a real pleasure to drive on. Great pics of the work on Denmark recently too.

Yeah you're right, I'm just really used to see all the hate towards SCS's mapping skills,but this time SCS did it better.

thanks for such a detailed answer! :)
it can be understand for putting them in lower priority,
since there are ARP, connect Sweden/Finland, expanding Euromir and heading to Barcelona in progress that are the main goals for 2.10 as far as I know
so it's already good for me that old road are confirmed be putting back :lol:

as MandelSoft mentioned above, it brings me up another question,
so ProMods don't include any custom-made rock/mountain/cliff-like assets yet?
as taking real E39 streetview for reference, it looks really hard to made them in the standard nowadays :!:

At least make new tunnel portals for the western tunnels please. It hurts every time I see those dark gray blocks of whatever it is.
And the dark plain interior of most of them is horrible. Side wall lights and some obstacle signs along the wall that look nothing like the real thing.
Posted about this a long time ago...

Edit:
And someone need to burn down those damn toll booths :P

Agree. The portals is one thing, but the inside of the tunnels need a serious rework.

Also, the tunnels in ETS 2 in general (Norway and continental Europe) should be much lower than they are. Most tunnels in game can fit 2,5 trucks on top of eachother, making the height close to 10 metres. In real life, the tunnel height varies from 4.0 metres (Elbtunnel in Hamburg is max 4.0, and has ~20cm clearance on top of that) and up to 6 metres for the really roomy, brand new tunnels. I would love to see some realistic clearance, and perhaps even having to do detours with tall trailers (auto transport, oversize and others).

I don't understand your previous post actually (don't know what's the purpose of mentioning those pylons). Nobody is ignoring you. It happens that some posts don't get a reply :)

The thing I like about the Norway tunnels is that the brightness is a bit more realistic. In Promod/vanilla, the tunnels are too bright.
