The 1.28 -> 1.30 conversion is actually a lot of work.
I'm no expert when it comes to modding but I am very curious. What sorts of things do you need to do to ready the mod for 1.30 which are so taxing to do?
I appreciate the great work, thanks and keep it up!

One of the recent posts my ProMods staff members mentioned having to replace a bunch of road signs to match the new traffic rules put forth by SCS Software, particularly yield/give way signs in many countries.
EDIT: Found the link for the post:

The techy explanation is here:
http://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Games/E ... uides/1.30
In lamens terms we've had to:
* update many lamps/lights because of changes in the flare definitions
* update about 3000 templated navigation signs by hand (due to changes in the format)
* go all over the map and inspect (+replace) close to 10,000 give way signs because of changes in give way rules for AI traffic
* verify all prefab navigation paths for intersections and companies because the GPS works differently in 1.30
* update all countries to support time zones
* update new climate and weather profiles
* incorporate bug fixes (for which there was very little time left due to all the work above)
^^ this entire process has taken a good 4 weeks

So it seem like we're just waiting on bug testing, then, huh? If so, that's great news, we really appreciate the massive amount of time and effort. Here's hoping for a smooth and quick rollout.

I can't believe the amount of work you do in making ProMods. I couldn't play ETS without it so I really appreciate all the time you put into it for us all.

Yep, I I'm really thankful for the people who working on Promods!!
I hope that we can buy the ''pay'' version also with ''Ideal!'' Because not everyone like Paypal :$.

@Milan1nl You can't, but you could link paypal to your Dutch Bankaccount.

ScuL could you explain how it will work with new DLC Italia? I read the compatibility for the new version and from what I understood it says I can have but I don't need Italia DLC to use next ProMods version... not really sure how it will work.
The thing is should I buy the DLC or no? Are you gonna do it the same way you did with France DLC? First release the version where we don't need the DLC and then the version we had to buy the DLC to use next version? It's not a problem for me to buy the DLC I just want to know if in the future ProMods will require Italia DLC to be able to use it?

No, it's not necessary to buy the Italy DLC.
Yes, you can use ProMods 2.25 with the Italy DLC. You can just "plug it in" without problems.
