First of all, I just want to say THANK YOU ProMods for this awesome modification! I had fun with ETS Stock with Scandinavia and East, but after installing PM, I nearly spend 10 hours a day just trucking all around europe.

The only thing I´m missing are 2 ferry connections:

- Kiel (GER) Olso (N)
- Lübeck/Travemünde (GER) --> Trelleborg (S)

Is there any possibility those two lines will find their place in any future updates?

Also one question, because I didn´t find any answer and I don´t wanna drive without any goods:
Does PM have the Mont Blanc Tunnel, too?

- Kiel (GER) Olso (N)
That's not a good ferry connection to add because of ferry bug which would skip Denmark and also reduce your income + there's a ferry to Oslo in Hirtshals (Denmark) which isn't that far at all (Few minutes, and you are there)
- Lübeck/Travemünde (GER) --> Trelleborg (S)
This ferry connections is also unnecessary because there's a Puttgarden-Rodbyhavn connection which does skip some of the Denmark.

I know about the ferries from Hirtshals to Oslo ;) And I also know, that those lines will shrink the income, but I thought it would be a nice to have feature ;)

God , i hate ferry's. Why do people like ferry's in the first place? This is truck simulator , not ferry's simulator. "Driving" , that's the point of the game , also the pleasure. if you skip a big part of the map because you are too lazy to drive , why do you still playing this game.. I always chose the road instead a ferry when i can. I never took the ferry from kiel or rostock(i don't know for sure) to trelleborg when i had delivery's to sweden. I really don't understand.

I agree.

Kiel to Oslo is pointless as you can just drive through the beautiful Danish scenery and then catch the ferry from Frederikshavn to Oslo, earning you more money than if you were to take a ferry from Kiel to Oslo.

I prefer to have some ferries to not use some routes too often. Assume that you are going to Norway from Germany. If you don't use any ferries, you would always need to go through Denmark and use the Öresund bridge to leave the country. While the scenery is nice, it can get boring when you use the same route a lot. But when you use ferries such as Hirsthals - Oslo, you would go through northern Denmark for instance and visit different places.

I think all the unessential ferries should be removed, personally. I feel as though its cutting into the base of the game to be driving your truck to the destination. I know there are some routes placed for convenience of the player such as the Gdynia, and Padborg ports. They aren't essential though, as say the routes to Torshavn or Iceland are as you cannot access those islands without a port. I find its best to just drive to the destination anyway as all that scenery that was put into the game is just being bypassed and seems like it was a waste of time if its just passed up.

I don't care much about money as you get plenty of it either way, as you level up those prices inflate and you get enough no matter what job you do, in exception to short routes.

Ferry connections can be removed by the users.
As long as they are not in locked files.
