The Iceland map is a great map. I've had two deliveries so far and enjoyed them both. I love the twisting, winding roads that keep you on your toes. Beautifully expansive snow-covered landscapes. The packed snow causes the truck to slow to a crawl, so you better have a powerful engine and a very stable chassis. The bumpy roads add another challenge.

Then there's the little touches, such as as snow that has drifted into the roadway. I like the gradual change from the snowy hills and fields to the lush green farm land of the lower areas. Finally, a bit of humour:

I noticed that many of the roads are stubbed-off. Hopefully, many of those will be completed to provide additional delivery destinations. I'm a modder for other games, but not ETS/ATS. But, were I a modder, Iceland is the map I'd love to collaborate on.

In your OP, you mention that you are new to the ETS2 modding scene. Sir, you have learned well.

Thank you for these kind words. I can tell you that 2 of currently blocked roads will get opened in 2.01 as a bonus upgrade. And they will have a purpose as we added 3 new unique companies to deliver in Iceland :) No, I won't tell which roads will open :P

Well that would explain why 2.01 isn't out yet. I thought it was just bug fixes :P Even though there's nothing terribly significant, it's nice to know that we'll be getting a little bit of new content :D

No no no, there was no plan to add things. I just finished my fixes earlier as they were easy to fix mostly and had some time to add stuff. Also on Iceland it's easier as ring road is ready and almost every road starts on it. So no holes in map etc :)
