Does it mean that PB doesn't actually "add" more than you do and we just have to chose between 2 versions of the exact same area?
Some areas are a bit different, maybe PB has 1-2 cities we don't have. Maybe we have some other cities they don't have instead. You can check yourself what is the difference. But yes - it doesn't add much new terrain (that's my experience). And after we release 2.3, our Balkans will be huge and in the very latest quality.

I will never understand why map teams don't work more closely to create a smooth, good-looking final map. It's always conflicts and mapping overlaps. Why?
PB area doesn't allow us to cooperate. They don't work on new areas that doesn't exist in ProMods (Portugal is free, Ukraine is somewhat free, Turkey, almost whole Bulgaria and so on. And that "free" area was much bigger years ago, when PB was started). Instead, they decided to change our map. IIRC, their first version made our Maribor or Ljubljana look less realistic and just worse in terms of visuals (that's a personal feeling of course).
So since the very beginning, they aren't an addon that expands our map but just rebuilds it (which is a waste of time in my opinion). It's fine to rebuild SCS areas (like Czech Rebublic or Slovakia maybe?) but rebuilding a rebuild is pointless, unless you can make it even more awesome. I really like when there are new maps in a good quality that add missing countries (like RusMap). But in this case, cooperation wasn't possible, unfortunately.

Cooperating with RusMap is possible as you can see, we only need to cooperate in border sectors, which isn't that hard.

That's just my point of view on this case ;)

Plus when Vøytek mentioned PB's changes in Slovenia, PB's early versions drastically fall down performance in Slovenia (a lot of "licence slot plates depleted" errors, big fps drops and lags on highway Ljublana-Novo Mesto), also when they built Zagreb it was so badly optimised that i got really big FPS drops and lags, comparing to Promods Zagreb now wich is nicely done.

Ah, things change constantly, so that cooperation thing will change too, for sure... give it enough time.

A bit of "competition" is always welcome in things like that.
Everyone is doing their best to make it look "better" than the other team or individual... some succeed, some don`t...

I am very new to ETS2, so I don`t know all the background concerning maps building, but I remember from the time I was building maps for other games, it has always been like that.
Later, when the enthusiasm settles a bit, cooperation matters become much easier.

anyway, great job from all teams so far... loads of fun You have given to us. Thanks!!!

It should be obvious why YKS does not co-operate just by their name. YKS stands for native truck simulator enthusiasts (tr. "Yerli Kamyon Simülasyoncuları"), i.e. they are a patriotic group.
