BTW, if you ever need some natives to help you with Israeli roads, towns or even spelling, feel free to contact me.

Question about Egypt. Will you include cities of Suez, Ismailia, Al Qantar, Port Said and maybe Arish ?
Personally I would like to see Sharm El Sheikh

You really got me excited for this mod, especially the fact that I would be finally able to drive around in my home city of Ashdod!
Can't wait to show it to a friend who is an actual Trucker in Israel :D

Hello, Shalom, Salaam,

Development is a bit slowed for now due to work in real life, but also to fix the bugs discovered on map ;-)
I have however an early picture of Port Said and two of driving in Israel.

About the recently asked questions :
- Egypt will be a fresh build. I don't think I will use at all the old mod given to Promods. Main reason is that it's now rather old and it would take too much time to adapt it ...
- Cairo : of course, it will come in the future, but not in the first version. This will include Port Said (ferry to Thessaloniki and Lemesos), El Arish, Taba and maybe Damietta
- Ismailia and Suez will come just after, maybe with Cairo. Sharm El Sheik is not planned, at least for now.
- Bilingual/Trilingual signs : All signs in Egypt and Lebanon are bilingual (Arabic/English). In Israel, it depends : all are at least bilingual Hebrew/English, many are trilingual Hebrew/Arabic/English, as seen on last picture I just posted. Reason is that I succeed to made a font for Hebrew, while arabic has to use images (because of linked characters, with various forms following the place in the word). So, I could complete this, but it'll take some time.

Also, thanks to the people from those countries who proposed here some help. For the moment, I do my best to manage the hebrew/arabic languages. But if you discover some errors, don't hesitate to report them ;-)

Regards,
Platypus
