[Obsolete] [Q&A] Which cities/ferries/roads are included?

[LoaderSaints]

then why we are all still using the ".scs" extension?

My personal opinion is that it is easier to see which file is a mod and which isn't.

Good question... Pre ETS2 the game couldnt read the zip's and it couldn't read compressed archives.

Now it basically reads any zip file.

This was probably done when the game went cross-platform to make development on different systems easier. For example, every system knows how to open a zip file by default, but only Linux people can open rars without another utility. It's easier this way for people across all operating systems supported by the game. If you know anything about compression algorithms, scs archives behave a lot more like zips than they do rars.

I think - this post should be updated to 2.0........

I think that's a lot of work without any use. A list of content can be found on the compatibilty page and a map in the Q&F forum.

Yeah, it is... I tried to update it. But it is even more work then my own map-view is

So no, I don't think anyone will keep this up-to-date. It really is -a lot- of work.

I'm on holiday vacation until the 11th....
If i get bored might even try to update this, partly atleast.

Especially on holidays I'd find more interesting and important things to do than this...

Everyone has their own ways...

You can book commercial transport on a RO-RO ship from Esbjerg either to Harwich or Immingham
The passenger line Esbjerg - Harwich might not be closed forever, other companies are interested

Schedule for Esbjerg - Immingham
http://freight.dfdsseaways.com/dfds_fer ... m_ferries/

Sorry but this is incorrect. There is no longer any frequent scheduled service for roro traffic direct from Harwich to Esbjerg, in the same way that there is no longer a ferry from Newcastle to Norway. I believe there are some shipments of trade cars at times, but that is all (except perhaps specialist shipments of things like paper). All roro traffic bound for Esbjerg now has to go through immingham (over 200 miles North of Harwich) or Purfleet (operated by ClDN roro this service takes some 40 hours to make each crossing and operates twice a week). Of course there is also the option of going through Holland which apparently can be quicker for many shipments anyway.

As for restoration of the passenger service from Harwich, it is highly unlikely unfortunately. No credible operator is interested in the link, and the main campaign for its restoration is headed by a 14 year old boy. Passenger figures where very poor and declining on the route, while costs kept increasing (the crossing also requires significantly more fuel than the alternatives). Most of the freight has transferred to the Immingham to Esbjerg route anyway. It is also possible for trucks to sail from Immingham to Gothenburg, Brevik, and Kristiansand as well as Zeebrugge etc. Immingham is actually the UKs largest port by tonnage so it makes a lot of sense for it to be the focus of the roro links to Scandinavia. The U.K. To Norway passenger ferry appears to have a brighter future, but it is increasingly unlikely that Newcastle will be the UK port.

Actually DFDS have a Ro-Ro freight ferry for that route

True, this ferry service used to make a stopover in Helsingborg (which is the Helsingborg-Oslo route on the map), but not anymore.
