Development on version 1.x (Current Map Improvements)

[sw3gameboy]

I have seen that the city designs of Jönköping, Göteborg, Turku, Karlstad, Malmö, Aarhus and Aalborg has been copied from other cities. I mean, i can clearly see that they litterly look like Szczecin, Lyon, Bratislava, Köln, Verona, Brussels and Geneve when looking at the map. Or well, you've tried to hide the copying, but i am not easy to fool
Seriously, you should think about that. An unique city design do also give an unique feel to the city itself. Kutchek did a pretty good job with it, so...

Also, this stuff or waay to large city designs for vanilla SCS map (yes, i am that kind of guy) is what i've seen in almost every map mod so far. Getting sick of it...
PS: All the text above is no criticism against Promods. It's just something you should have in mind

Cities are the most time consuming part of making a map. A small city takes 5 days to build, a large city can take up to double. In the beginning when our team only consisted of 2 people it was the only way to make progress quickly without boring our fanbase with a year long wait.

In the end I don't feel it makes much of a difference as long as landmarks are placed and critical things such as traffic signs, railings etc. are localised. Of course it is preferable to have unique places everywhere but I don't think it degrades the player's experience.

By the way some of the places you mentioned are incorrect

Indeed I'd rather not wait ages for a new map just so it is 90 % realistic. Anyway Promods is way ahead of other map mods out there compared to quality and being realistic. It always can be better and more accurate but that takes a lot of time and resources of the modders.
In my opinion promods is as realistic as they can be for a simulator considering the time and work it takes to make these wonderful expansions in ets 2 map

Aah i see, Aalborg was copied from Kassel instead of Geneve... sorry i was a bit confused but the rest is actually correct.

I understand that a city takes alot of time to build, especially with the detail you're doing (in which is fantastic i gotta say). My comment was btw just a suggestion for improving the map, nothing to take seriously
PS: Haven't i seen your answer before, at the facebook page? Maybe it's just me, who knows

Still not right Rotterdam is in there somewhere but you won't recognise it.

Had absolutely no idea about the Rotterdam copy maybe i've missed it, but i am too silly to check again

[MandelSoft]

I'll give you one clue: the Rotterdam copy lies near a motorway, yet this motorway is not part of the copied Rotterdam part... Oh, and it's not copied in the original orientation.

JUST FOUND IT! It's in Malmö. I got wrong on that one, i thought it was Verona because they look that similar actually

Maybe SCS copied cities??

Just saying that ETS2 cities are not that great...

[RoadRageDude]

I thought maybe after Euro Truck 1 they would use city roads from the actual cities in real life. Thought wrong I guess.
