Hi. I've been playing ETS2 with Promods fine for a very long time, no problems.

I have all the map DLC, and bought Beyond The Baltic fairly soon after it became available (pre-Promod2.33)... completely understanding that it would not show up until Promods 2.33.

When Promods 2.33 arrived, I downloaded it... and tonight, I installed it (sucessfully).

However, when I look at the world map, I only see the Promods version of the Baltic region (There's not much East of Helsinki). St Petersburg is not there, for example.

Everything seems installed fine... ETS2 1.34.0.25s (64bit)... Promods 2.33.

I even uninstalled Beyond The Baltics momentarily, then reinstalled it... but I get the same result.

Any ideas?


Also, is there a way to verify that the ETS2 map DLCs are actually loaded (when Promods is also loaded)? It's hard to tell if any scenery is the ETS2 map DLC or the Promods mod.

Nothing wrong here, the baltic merge will come with 2.40. 2.33 was only an unplanned compatability update, since 2.40 is not quite ready yet.

Hi. Thanks for the response!

Oh, okay. I thought that last update WAS the compatibility mod for the Baltic DLC. Well, that's a relief...

So, I guess the only question still remaining, is how DO you tell if the ETS2 map DLC is actually working? Without Promods, it would be easy enough, as you'd see the map screen showing the expanded areas. But, with Promods installed, you can't rely on that, as the expansion in the map you're seeing could be either by Promods OR the DLC... and there doesn't seem to be a way to distinguish that. The only other way, would be to visit a location with (say) a destinct landmark... but then you'd still have to be able to distinguish if that landmark is from Promods or the DLC (....which you MIGHT be able to do, if you had reference images from both, so you could determine which of the two you are seeing presently in the sim. So, I'm not really sure how you can check if the DLC is working.

Granted, if it is checked in your DLC list, it SHOULD be installed and running... but there's no certainty of that. I always found it odd that ETS2 itself doesn't have an internal list of map mods installed... just the 3rd party stuff is listed... unless I'm missing some display somewhere!

PM extensively uses assets, models, etc. from the DLCs. If the DLCs weren't installed, you'd see that PM was incompatible in the mods manager. And if they were corrupt, ETS2 would be crashing on lots of odd things, both with and without PM installed.

So it's pretty certain that if you have a working ETS2 and a happy Promods install, and nothing's crashing, all your DLCs are alive and well. But you're right, in many instances there is often no obvious way to tell if what you're looking at is from ProMods or from the base game/DLC.

dalmatian666. You have an unofficial "RusMap-map_v1.8.1.scs", that is NOT compatible with ProMods map mod. Use the original "RusMap-map_v1.8.1.scs" instead.
