Middle East Development

[Wrona 628]

if you're using a BenganJ background map then PMME will be on the water.
Just disable this background.
Unless you're using a Roex, then it can't be helped. Sorry

Is Petra going to be scenery?

Hello,

I will also share some informations about Turkey for next version. I know it's not what you exactly expected, but I had not enough time to finish it.
The problem remains the big city of Adana which still need lot of work. However, I made the possible to release what's ready. So :

Mersin is finished and I will not delay it anymore. As it's an important port, it can be joined by boat actually.
After some ingame tests, you'll find a correct set of missions to/from this place

A new ferry is planned to Iskenderun (picture below), this awaiting Adana is completed, as soon as possible.
There's also a link directly to Tripoli (the dots seems to indicate Latakia on picture, but it's well to Lebanon)

Also, I'll answer to the questions as usual :

Thank you! I like that you continue develop Jordan and Iraq. Please don't forget about Egypt.

Well, I have only two hands Jordan is now quite completed, Iraq is work by Horizon.
But Egypt is not completely forgotten. Mandelsoft created new custom traffic lights for this country.

Nice news, thanks! I'm still curious which new city in Iraq it will be.

Follow the desertic road 20 and you could find it ...

In terms of the other surprises coming, I suppose it's more Syria? Connecting Damascus and Tartous through the city of Homs? Just guessing

No, sorry. Too much work to achieve also this now ... No changes in Syria for next version.

Beautiful map. This addon is my favorite map, i am always excited for some development. tks for the huge work.
Is it possible to make a fake ferry in Istambul to warp to the nearest city in this addon? This way I do not have to go to Thessalonica all the time?

Thanks for your comment. Well, this is considered for a while ... I'll come back to this later.

Is Petra going to be scenery?

No, sorry. Petra monument itself is at a end of a canyon you could just drive with a golf cart. So, actually no interest for this. It's mentionned on panels along the roads.

Regards,

nice!

as always beautiful, can't wait to see the continuation of the development, and to test this new version, really nice work done since the beginning of this addons.

Found the new city in Iraq It's Al-Qa'im in my opinion. Will it be connected by desertic road 12 too to Highway 1 or more a dead end?

[id777]

I also thought it's Al-Qa'im !
Hope it will be connected to Er Ramadi (highway 1) in future. I know it's up to Horizon, but please do it!

A new ferry is planned to Iskenderun (picture below), this awaiting Adana is completed, as soon as possible.

Minor tidbit but since it's Turkey it should be spelled 'İskenderun' with the dotted İ character. Is this something that can be changed?
Regardless, I'm always excited to see development in the Middle East. It's a nice change of pace from the rest of the map.

the main addition will be Jordan road 15, linking Aqaba to Amman, with one new city : Ma'an
Al-Karak is actually not completed and limited to one company near the highway. City itself will come later.
Finally, Amman Airport is also added.

SPOT ON! Those are really nice additions to the map!
But there's one thing I noticed about Amman's Airport (btw it's called Queen Alia International Airport [QAIA in short]), I think It would be nice if you add/replace an aircraft with one that has the livery of the national airlines (Royal Jordanian) because I see only Turkish, Lebanese and Iraqi aircrafts on the runways of the airport.
Here's an image:

I hope you put that into your consideration.
Once again, Thanks for your efforts.

Hopefully the new ferry connections will have a board large enough that there will be no problems with longer trailers.
