All good things come to an end. My exploring in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is done, so we're taking a freight back towards central Europe, or rather my homebase: Brussel.

Image
I would've sworn there's a connection between Tallinn and Nynashamn. Anyway, since there isn't, a small trip through Finland must do.

Image
And we're in Vartahamnen, Sweden!

Image
This is where I shot the pictures using freecam instead of photo mode, because a big city + Renault + Jazzycat stuff overloads my game a bit.

Image
Image
I still love Stockholm and the ringroad.

Image
I decided to take a small detour, in a small town near Stockholm, it has something to do with truck testing... ;)

Image
Da Sun!

Image
Wasn't it obvious? Well, now it is.

Image
High speeds!

Image
The Renault feels very powerful round this track.

Image
Oh, the cargo recipient is waiting. Bye Södertälje!

Image
Fanboys won't be happy with that :D

Image
Or that...

Image
The track did have an effect on my fuel tank.

Image
Then a big stretch of highway in which I forgot pictures, this is already near the delivery point: Helsingborg.

Image
From Helsingborg to Köln.

Image
The (expensive) toll for the Øresund Bridge.

Image
Image
Image

Øresund Bridge and tunnel are still awesome.

Image
Rebuilt Copenhagen? Let's have a look.

Image
Counter-Spotting :D

Image
Image
Copenhagen has actually turned back into a great city again ;)

Image
AI dashboard spotting :D

Image
Have a nice game of "figuring out what these AI cars are" IIRC the Peugeot from the first picture's interior is visible from the BMW's interior on the second image.

Oh damnit. Moving on.

Image
Wanted to see the small town of Lellinge. Not interesting but probably has some purpose.

Image
A bridge near Rødby.

Image
Rødbyhavn

Image
Burg auf Fehmarn

Image
Bridge near BaF.

Image
Image
Gotta love the sun in this game.

Image
The area of the most ProMods cities piled upon each other: Ruhrgebied.

Image
Delivery in Köln.

Image
A bridge near Antwerpen.

Image
Considering I had some spare time left, I decided to go into Brussel and take some shots. Because holy balls, that is a nice city.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

That's that.

Image
Now visiting Heilbronn. This is near Liege Airport.

Image
Craneview at some roadworks near Frankfurt

Image
Trainz

Image
The big climb...

Image
Image
Frankfurt Airport again...

Delivery pictures? Ain't nobody got time for that...

Time for some new drives!

I took the Actros out again. Because it's one of my favorite long-distance driving trucks. I configured it to look like a model version of the MP4 I still have on my desk.

Image

Looks great, right? (the picture not so much, it was made with my phone and bad lighting)

Anyway, on to seeing it in-game:

Image
We're in Herning, testing the Schwarzmüller trailers that got added. We're taking a DSV one to Zwolle.

Image
IMO, Denmark is just such a nice and relaxed country. I love driving there.

Image
Hamburg, the big city of harbors.

Image
The MP4 is just a perfect Autobahn milemuncher.

Image
Arsehat parking on the border between Germany and the NL....

Image
I was low on fuel (don't worry, I was on 1/4 tank when I left) so I had to pull over into Arnhem to get some. These roads were challenging....

Image
...but the tiny gas station was even more challenging.

Image
Wrong exit, so we had to mix ourselves in Arnhem's traffic.

Image
Welcome to the NL, where the emergency lane is opened during the rush hour.

Image
Tight bends....

Image
...And we made it!

I decided to update this again with two recent trips.

Image
This was in Bilbao, IIRC. Headed towards Barcelona.

Image
Bilbao is actually nice.

Image

Image
Large Spanish highways...

Image
Even Ikea's in Spain :)

Image
Border...

Image
meeting :D

Image
Nice mountains

Image
Forgot a delivery pic so this must do.

Another one in the MAN TGS Euro 6...

Image
This was mostly on the France DLC though.

Image
Big brother :)

Image
Hotel in Germany

Image
Delivered!

Although I'm not able to drive it on the ProMods map, I still wanted to share some 2017 Scania shots.

Image

Image

Millau Viaduct

Image
Let's see what has changed :D

Image
Contrary to most people I really like the new Scania and the model and tuning in ETS is great.

Because of the compatibility issue I'm still not using ProMods "fulltime", however I wanted to keep this thread alive so I decided to share some Special Transport pictures :)

Image
This truck is very badly configured tbh, but this was right after the DLC got released so I couldn't be bothered to make a special truck for it ;)

Image
This incredibly wide scaffolding is very hard to drive.

Image
A boat. And yes, I need a skin for this RJL Scania before I can use it properly.

Image

Image
Yeah this looks pretty nice :D

Image
You call that a boat? Pffff :D

Image
Downloaded this Mammoet pack, looks even more bad*ss now!

Image
Image

Image
Although I still dislike the BMW as Dutch police car (we don't and have never had a BMW E60 as police car), this looks nice.

Image
The convoy which came to the destination (such a shame about the green parking markers)

Was out for a while, ETS with ProMods just sort of stopped running on my old battered PC, then my keyboard died and I didn't have time nor money to get replacement parts.

Luckily I got a new setup, new GFX card/CPU, new keyboard so it's back to business.

A lot of shots for you today: more old shots of the areas in which my old setup coped (barely) but also some shiney new shots: I hope the difference is clear enough :) (it is while playing at least)

Image
MAN E6 with appropriate trailer, driving from San Sebastián to Huesca, with that new mountain pass included.

Image
The mountains look pretty ace.

Image
Permasnow areas...

Image
This road is pretty spectacular, luckily the heavy set up MAN coped perfectly.
Nice road, well done PM devs :)

You know what, just enjoy the shots of the view.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Arriving in Huesca, a cozy little town which is also detailed well. Nice, but not for my old GFX card :D

Image
Anyway.

Image
Re-modified my old RJL Scania, got the Skane Edition skin, looks better now!

Image
Got me this nice Schweppes trailer. Makes me thirsty! :D

Image
The wide "Ruhrgebieter Autobahns".

Image
Der Rhein!

Image
I delivered this trailer somewhere in France, Rennes if I recall correctly.

Image
There's the new shiney version of that same Scania! Ignore the screen ratio btw, I still use a 1920x1080 monitor myself, but the guy I tested my new PC at (where I made this screenshot) uses a wider one.

Image
This also means my PC can finally run the Range T on a bit decent fps, so I remodified that one as well, got me a new trailer and delivered some things from Barcelona to Irun.

Image

Image
That all looks way better, doesn't it?

Image
That same bridge/tunnel (tridge/bunnel?) :D

Image
My shiney new Scania, I really like this truck for no apparent reason.

Image
Later than I hoped, I discovered this new trailer which is used to deliver Iveco vans. So I had to try that out in the Italy DLC.

Image
Letting Renaults eat our dust :)

Image
You might be asking yourself why I'm not using an Iveco for this, simply because the time has destroyed the Iveco and they're just not enjoyable to use.

Image
Some nice architecture around Milan.

Image
Wanted to try out the new route from London to Calais, using the new Channel Tunnel. So I got me the old DAF with a nice skin, and I really enjoy driving it.

Image
I actually visited the UK last summer, I rented a cottage near Sevenoaks, which makes this sign very familiar to me :)

Image
Mighty mighty thing.

Image
The new tunnel is very nice, a bit big in comparision to the rest of the area but I guess when the UK gets a thurrow rebuild it will blend right in.

Image
In Calais, where a 40 km/h Combine created a bit of a weird situation...

Image
Although not really the best way in progress, an interesting challenge :)

Next: I found myself in Elblag, with the Euro 6 DAF. So I planned a trip to Taranto and it's still in progress but I decided to share some shots already.

Image
Clean design as you might've found out yourself, but it works for me.

Image
Sunset...

Image
Wien, very nice!

Image
More Wien...

Image
The police is always watching you :)

To be continued!
