Middle East Development

Thank you for this addon. However I am still so far from it's territory.

I had a fast look over new map parts, and that's totally great job! I can really feel the strange and dangerous atmosphere there. I just have two questions - why there is Iran police pick-up in Saudia? (I guess for lack of time till release?). And second, are police Mondeos planned to be replaced with something realistic? I know mapping is priority, but details are too, and Mondeos are ruining the atmosphere :-/ Thank you for your amazing work and answers in advance.

Great effort, Great success. Congratulations to the map makers. Middle Eastern Add-on 2.45 is great! I can't wait to see new countries and longer roads

Hello Platypus! Now I reached your addon. It's well made. Thank you for that exotic map expansion.
By the way, in definitions I found some Libya cities. Tobruk, Derna, Benghazi.
Are you going to expand your map much more?

It's been nearly 10 years since Libya was plunged into civil war, and it's hard to make maps there, isn't it?

He confirmed on discord that Libya isn't his priority at the moment and he said that the country is very politically unstable so it won't be developed in the foreseeable future

I'm amazed by the sheer scale of this add-on and the attention to detail in it. Wonderful work, thank you!

I just finished delivering wooden beams from Iceland to Jordan, which I find kind of funny. It's fun to do long hauls in the game, even if they don't always make sense, but somehow I don't think in real life a vehicle with Icelandic license plates has ever been anywhere near Jordan I'm curious, is there actually a lot of truck traffic between Europe and Middle East in real life?

[id777]

Between Europe and Middle East yes. But agree with you - not Iceland.

Turkey is very important as connection.

Hello,

Thanks for all your comments
Developpement will now continue progressively. Today I have three new photos.
Not completely finished, but I show this because Mid-East Add-on will now enter in one more country.

Also, about the questions I have read :

- The Syrian coast is planned. It's in fact the place on which I'm working now. It should come in next major version (2.50). Some cities of south Turkey (Mersin, Adana, Iskenderun and Antakya) should come with this.
- Other regions of Syria, in particular Idlib, Aleppo, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor are out of scope. Sadly, war is not ended in some of those areas.
- Iraqi police pick-up in Saudia? Indeed lack of time before release. I'll try to have a Saudi car painted for next release.
- Replacement of Ford Mondeo's : maybe, if someone of the team has time to help me with this ...
- Libya is actually out of scope too. By the way, searching in my files to find what I could plan is not a good idea. You can just create false illusions
