Hi.
Have found that following four files is almost empty of data.
gdansk_nynashamn.dlc_east.sii
gdynia_karlskrona.dlc_east.sii
karlskrona_gdynia.dlc_north.sii
nynashamn_gdansk.dlc_north.sii
in
promods-def-v198.scs\def\ferry\connection.

This will cause that the ferry port connection points between thoose will disapear.

Temporary workaround is to delete thoose four files from promods-def-v198.scs\def\ferry\connection and the ferry ports will apear agian.

The ferry connection isn't wrong, it has been removed intentionally.

Why has they been removed?
Is there any problem to have them back by removing the files?

They have been removed to avoid silly "shortcuts" in the GPS route. Seriously, the GPS would sent a route from Linköping to Rostock over at Nynäshamn-Gdynia instead of Gedser, simply because it's less road kilometers. It also reduces the payout of these jobs. That's why we removed those ferries, though we might consider to bring back the one at Karlskrona.

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

I could see your point about stupid GPS routes, but thats life if you always trust your GPS. Even IRL. Now every one colud take out an own route to the target destination.
Since this is in the def file that's is generated in setp 2 of downloading Promods, maybe this should be an option for the user to decied if they want thoose ports or not.

Now that I have found my solution to this, I'm happy to have thoose ports back.
Keep up with good work and I'm seeing forward for the V 2.0 release.
