Special Transport DLC compatibility

[Kuszotke]

Can we get an update on the progress?

It's Christmas time, what progress do you expect?
Many of us don't even use our PCs, as we spend time with our family here or at their houses, sometimes very far from home.

Can we get an update on the progress?

It's Christmas, there is no progress.

In total we have 3 working routes now.

Very long distance ST is not possible anyway because you can't refuel or sleep..

It is easy to solve. Just pull off trailer, refuel or sleep, then return to driving.

In reality it is not happening.

They do if it there is no shorter way. However, all rest stops need to be pre-arranged as not all rest areas are suitable. Sometimes, they just rest by the roadside (this is allowed unlike regular road hauls, again needs to be pre-arranged).

Hello I have a problem I buy the dlc but it does not work on the promods 1.30.14 can you help me
thank you

Unfortunately, Promods is not yet compatible with the Special Transport DLC at this time. Compatibility is expected in the next release, which should be Promods version 2.26. All other DLC should work with Promods and all map DLC's are infact required with the exception of Italy for now. It will become required in future versions, however. My recommendation is to disable Promods if you wish to use Special Transport.

For example, I have two profiles running on my ETS2 game. One I use as a "career" save which is my main save file. I also run a "test" save which I use to test mods for compatibility issues. At the moment, my "test" proflie has Promods disabled so I can enjoy the DLC

Hope this helps

On a side note, may I recommend updating to the latest versions of ETS2. If you are running 1.3.0.14 you may notice issues with terrain appearing in the road. Version .19 fixed this problem and version .22 released about a week ago which I believe was to incorporate the WOTR Christmas event

SCS actually showed the example of special transport resting on their blog.

So too bad they actually didn’t implement that in the gameplay. They prearranged the whole route if I understood correctly, so prearranging rest stops and refueling stops could be also done.
Other thing is that having long special deliveries would be cool in game, but are they for real in real life? Some of guys explained before that they actually doesn’t exist due to big expenses.
And also I thing that if SCS didn’t include resting and refueling neither can promods.

Hi Everyone,

When I've ProMods 2.25 enabled, Special Cargo jobs do not show up in the Freight Market overview. The Special Cargo icon is also missing from the job filter on the left hand side of the screen.

If I disable Promods 2.25 (I can leave the Promods Trailer and Company Pack and Rusmap enabled without any problems) in the mod manager Special Cargo jobs appear in the Freight Market overview and the icon is also present in the job filter.

I'm running the latest version of ETS2 (1.30.2.2), Promods 2.25, Promods TCP 1.15, Rusmap 1.75. I've got the East, North, France, Italy, Heavy Cargo, High Power and Special Cargo DLC installed.
