Helsinki is pretty good after addition of Vantaa, even if it has the original ProMods design (its one of the oldest ProMods cities still existing I think?). Biggest improvement should be needed in Tampere IMO (the second most important city in the country and largest inland city in northern Europe), now that Jyväskylä is amazing (as close as IRL as possible in ETS engine), I hope Tampere gets same treatment someday.

Hello! Päivää!

In my opinion the city of Helsinki looks little bit like it does look in the real life,but it could look more realistic too.
I do know that it cant be complitely like the real life Helsinki is,but it would be nice if it would be more realistic then it is now.
I do recognize some places of the real life Helsinki in the Promods copy of Helsinki.
For example the Helsinki cathedral church,the cobblestone streets,the port of Helsinki and the ring 3 (kehä 3) roads big intersection seems quite genuine.That big intersection is near the City of Vantaa in the Promods map and in the same Place in the real life too.
It would not be bad to have more real life places in Helsinki and maybe even something more in Vantaa too.

I feel like there's not enough of 100km/h roads. Even if it's a 1+1, I think it's pretty common to have that speed limit there, mostly in the north. It gets pretty boring at 80-85.

Speed limit is usually 100kmh, In winter most 100 km/h speed limits are reduced to 80 km/h
Bad english sorry :)

Speed limit can also be 120 km/h for cars in Finland in the summer and the truck speed is usually limited to 90 km/h,except fire trucks and driving school trucks,because they dont have any speed limit.They dont have any electronic speed limiters,in the same way as other trucks will usually have those electronic speed limiters installed in them.So you can drive faster with them.But speeding is prohibited if people not get caught,when doing that. ;)

Isn't the maximum legal speed limit for trucks in Finland 80 km/h at all times? 8-)

Even I'm not a trucker, the maximum limit for all trucks is 80km/h.

Let's be honest, every trucker does 90 no matter which country he's in. Hell, in Poland, they have some kind of a "network" on where are cops and where they cruise around.

But, for the main issue, mainly in north, the limits are too low. That's pretty much all, maybe some buggy limits (sign doesn't have an effect), but overall you did well.

(nice job in Jyvaskylaa or how's it written, that ring is nicely done)

And some Polish, Estonian or Russian drivers drive drunk and have disabled the limiter... Or so I have heard, but let's not get onto it.

@Peterson: It's Jyväskylä, but for you it could be just Jyvaskyla ;)

Or they're reading a book, or watching a movie... but that's more common in Belgium and Germany.

Anyways, I hope that you'll take a look at those limits...
