Cool! Is your work on Svalbard concluded now? Or maybe we'll get to see Barentsburg / Pyramiden as Russia's Svalbard Outpost?
I speak
Because they're the only two settlements kind of reachable from Longyearbyen by road (actually Hiorthhamn isn't, but talking about the realism of Svalbard in a trucking game is 100% ironic in itself. ) It's just a good sandbox for trying out the techniques of the Oversize DLC in a small and confined area and it's a gimmick of the gimmick.
Maybe one day, but not too soon. I'm busy enough now with my studies and the tasks here as a moderator, regional coordinator and the Austrian/Swiss Rhine valley project going on, together with another yet secret project developing and another one in my mind.Pfc.

Is there a plan to eventually add Ny-Ålesund?
I'm just lurking around, waiting for the next version
The world's northernmost public permanently inhabited town is definitely on my wishlist, but there's no way I'd include a ferry to Poland. That would be a catastrophe for gameplay.

It is fixed, but a) it looks ugly and unserious on the map, b) it takes Svalbard the special status it has as the northernmost tip of the map only accessible by the very north, c) it would take Svalbard the last bit of realistic credibility it might have and d) as far as I know the game can't handle long ferry rides from some point onwards, and I'm unsure if that point wouldn't be reached by such a ferry.

There is a way if you do not include Ny-Ålesund-Longyearbyen ferry. Border crossing and ferry times will be accounted for delivery time after Baltic DLC is out.ETS2-User wrote:The world's northernmost public permanently inhabited town is definitely on my wishlist, but there's no way I'd include a ferry to Poland.
Ferry routes can now be bent.it looks ugly and unserious on the map
It is far out, afaik longer than a week. I have done a delivery (with ferries) lasting a week on Great Steppe+RusMap+ProMods combo.as far as I know the game can't handle long ferry rides from some point onwards
