Hello,
Shalom,
Salaam,

Here three new photos from Mid-East add-on. Due to the release of DLC Baltic, the border prefabs are now available. They will be in use at all borders in the Mid-East map.
So, here the Eilat-Taba crossing between Israel and Egypt :

Also, I did a test to convert the SC prefabs to italian ones as suggested. Well, it's quite easier than expected, so it will be done progressively.
Here an overview of renewed Eilat (replacement in progress) :

About the questions I have read :
- Tripoli (LB) : maybe later. Same for Amman and Damascus. They will not be present in first release. My priority is now to improve the existing map and to finish it.
- Deliver Dead Sea salt : why not, but I should investigate this
- Beirut will be added. There's a garage in this city, several in Israel and also one in Aqaba. Not in Taba, city is very small. An egyptian garage will come later.

Regards,
Platypus

Finally, as I very expected, the newest border prefabs will be used for this map especially to Israel border.
Really can't wait it be released. And drive through middle-east.

Countries you should add: Israel (Ferry Lemesos - Tel Aviv), Palestine, Turkey, western Syria and Egypt (Ferry from Thessloniki or Ioannina to Cairo) and maybe Saudi Arabia.

Hello,
Shalom,
Salaam,

Time for some pictures about West Bank and it's two cities. Choice was Ramallah and Jericho because they are under control of Palestinian Authority. As already said, Eastern Jerusalem will be visible but not drivable due to its real status.

Ramallah

When you opened this thread, I thought that the pictures you posted are the first areas of a beginning project. Now I see that I was wrong. You did a huge amount of amazing work and I see that we aren't that far from release that I previously thought!
