Development on version 2.x (Black Sea Merge)

[FunTrucker_18]

Good answer tho. I heard some Dev (?) said on Discord that 2.45 will be released after 1. 37 update. Is it true? Would be a brake of rules to give an ETA or at least it would be atypical for you guys.

It kinda makes sense. 1.37 is really close, they released the beta for ATS and I assume it will be out in like a month. Instead of releasing PM now and the release a new version it makes sense just to wait and combine all the new features. But we still cant wait, haha.

Since SCS will made some changes in the France on 1.37, I think the best decision is to wait until 1.37 will be released.

I think it’s better to release 2.45 for 1.36 cuz time from open beta to release takes about month so it delays release for more than month

I can't confirm nor deny but progress is very, very good

Glad to get an update!

I've been a mod dev myself for years, so I know that specific time estimates are nigh impossible to give and super annoying to answer over and over, but when general progress updates can be announced, it's a lot less anxiety-inducing on us players than when we're left with nothing but our own baseless speculation. (I should check the thread, what if there's an update I've missed, what if I'll need to change my map, should I even bother going to that part of the map until the update, etc etc.)

It's not *just* that we want to play the new stuff as soon as possible because we're greedy and entitled We also want to know if we should be cooling our heels and thinking about other, more pressing matters for a few months if you guys are still busy, or if we should start prepping our games for a new release sometime within a few weeks.

Thanks for giving us a heads-up that all is going well! Whether good news or bad, any report is a good report.

Since SCS will made some changes in the France on 1.37, I think the best decision is to wait until 1.37 will be released.

Now, I am not a ProMod dev and I can't speak for their policies, but I feel this is actually a better argument for a release *before* 1.37, much as we got a release of ProMods for 1.36 *before* the huge Black Sea merge. If it is released before the update, we are able to play the content that is already finished while we wait on them to work on the new changes. I know that I, personally, am much more interested in traveling through DLC Romania & Turkey than I am in a few updated intersections in Dijon and Lyons. But I am not all that familiar with the exact technical details involved. This is just my general opinion.

SCS version of Romania is pure rubbish , a lot of important roads are missing

I wonder who made the studies for the country , a nincomp**p or something like that , he studied what?

important cities missing , industrial parks as well , nothing to blow us ,,,, dear me

footballfan_01 visit ProMods Academy and learn to edit maps and you can create your version.
I'm looking forward to what you'll release.

I wouldn´t call it rubbish, but I agree that some important routes are missing like main route to bucarest over Sibiu to Pitesti. That´s the thing I was most disappointed of the DLC.

What an incredible card extension! I look forward to this update

ffgameszocker, Sebeș to Pitești on E81, I do miss that 1 too. + a few more routes.
For cities, scenery cities that I miss, is Oradea and Arad and E671 between these.
Well and some roads in northernmost Romania.
But the cities and roads that are ingame, those I think are really nice.
Arad, maybe something can be done.
For Oradea, there would have to be a bigger map rebuild in that area, then maybe possible?
Sometime in future, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M35_motorway_(Hungary) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A3_motorway_(Romania) will connect to each other. But that seems to be many years from now.
If those are done in the future, that might mean that A671 between Bors "Oradea" and Arad could be made? Maybe.
