Well, yet again happens this that my screenshot topic is cancelled out by commenting into other topics. I've been really considering of closing this thread if my screenshots aren't good enough for you which might happen soon.

Okay, i'm back online posting screenshots of my journeys..

This time, I'm driving so called "Full-Trailer" combination, which are allowed in Finland and Sweden, plus a few other countries which I can't remember. The base truck is the RJL's Scania R&Streamline, including a tandem chassis and a trailer mod made by Capital_Logistics. The truck is not equipped with a company paint job (yet), so the basic black is fine for now. Also, please note that the trailers dolly (the two axle thing in front) is not turning, because SCS has not implemented the second pivot point to the game.

This trip will a multi-part, as I've got 2920km to cover from Jyväskylä in Finland to Craiova in Romania! Let's hope this is interesting trip. All the images you'll see now are taken in Finland between Jyväskylä and Kuopio.

Unfortunately, I had a change in plans, because RJL released new versions of his truck mods, do I needed to sell my old one and then update the mod, or the game crashes. That meant, that I had to cancel the long distance trip to Craiova :(

But the good new is, I'm now driving the same combination, but with a different truck ;)

It's painted almost completely to my VTC paint scheme, also I made it Finnish and in some paintjobs, you'll actually see that headquarters are in Vaasa (my hometown), but the city itself is not in ProMods yet, but still, I thought it would be better to do some preparations earlier that no preparations at all.

The truck is a Mercedes-Benz Actros with GigaSpace cabin, a 625hp Euro 6 OM473 diesel engine and a 6x2 tandem taglift chassis. Unlike the black Scania you saw before, this one does not have ca Cool Liner box, instead it has a paintable cistern, and the paintjob for tit is in the early WIP stages, just like the paintjob for the truck itself :) Also, the trailer has no VTC paint scheme yet, because it's also in the very early WIP stage, yit might take a few weeks before my new trucks are painted to their correct color scheme.

in the following images, I'm driving my 2580km trip from Tornio, Finland all the way to Maribor, which is located in Slovenia. All images are taken in Finland plus this will definitely be a multi-part story, so a lot of information and images will come in the following weeks. But now, I'll show you images rather than just talking :D

Some scenic scenes taken in Ii (yes, we have a such place here in Finland) :lol:

Here is "Mila", the new truck that was talking about earlier in this post.

After driving 4.5 hrs in a row, I needed a break, but unfortunately, this thing is way too big to fit to the yard of that tiny fuel station, so maybe this works; I'll just park my truck next to a barn (or similar to it) ;)

It took some time, but I arrived to Jyväskylä and in no time, I waved my hand to it saying goodbye!...

And, to the end of part one, I'll give you a good word of advice; please read your GPS correctly, I took a wrong exit and soon I find myself causing chaos on a small intersection while trying to make a U-turn. I don't want this to happen to someone else ;)
