First of all, the atmosphere and ambition of this map are great! Now, this is meant to be purely constructive: There are a lot of roads that are not visible on the map. I don't know whether this is on purpose or not, but it is confusing and makes plotting routes on the GPS impossible. (Rare easter-egg roads are another thing, but they have to be just that – rare easter eggs.) In particular, as was pointed out earlier, there is some cut in Atiraw which makes it impossible to plot routes southward and eastward of it. This seems to eliminate jobs past that point (to Dossor, Maqat and Qulsari).

Are there that many 'secret' roads ?
Are you sure the lack of jobs has to do with that cut ?
My fav drive is up there in Russia towards the Barentszee.
But there are no jobs that will take you passed the Finland - Russia border, super unfortunately.
When i mentioned it, Promods told me it has nothing to do with them, so it's an SCS thing.
That cut has to be fixed for sure though.
Just like the floating horses between Inderborsky & Uralsk.
Super enjoying this map.
I will return to Kazachstan asap.
Always hungry for the road

I just this minute finished a job from Atiraw to Qulsari, so I guess it depends on exactly where the gap is. Next trip is Qulsari->Keflavik, with the Heavy Cargo DLC locomotive. This could take a while...Davyddin wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017 14:04First of all, the atmosphere and ambition of this map are great!

It was Fr8i who had reported on this issue earlier. I'm personally not knowledgeable enough to be absolutely certain, but it does seem to me to be the case that jobs crossing the cut in the centre of Atiraw cannot be generated.Fr8i wrote: ↑12 Aug 2017 10:01Also between Atyrau and the eastern cities the gps can´t draw a route, so the game doesn´t generate jobs beyound Atyrau on the market.Code: Select all

The cut seems to be at the horseshoe-shaped diversion in the centre of Atıraw. There are companies both north and south of it, so getting jobs both northward and eastward from Atıraw would not in itself be strange. That you apparently got a job crossing Atıraw in the other direction, from Qulsarı to Keflavík, is strange, on the other hand, if the theory here is right.Mr Larrington wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017 17:28I just this minute finished a job from Atiraw to Qulsari, so I guess it depends on exactly where the gap is.

Yes, many roads are missing from the map, honestly to the point of being quite frustrating, in particular since the GPS cannot plot routes where there are no roads on the map. It is most noticeable in the cities. There are also other "cuts" than the "infamous" one in Atıraw. It is also quite confusing in general, in my personal opinion, and gives sort of an unfinished impression. I would say Great Steppe would be even better with all roads properly present on the map.

Okay, interesting.
I will leave the 'no boundaries' mod out next time in Kazakhstan.
There are for sure a crazy lot of short jobs just up and down to Qulsari & Atiraw.

I just finished the job to Keflavik. Six and a half hours in real time, though I did have to do a number of diversions after discovering low bridges. Now trying to figure out where a bunch of error messages have come from. This could take almost as long as the job did.
Edit: from one of my own mods. Something had created files called "in" and "out" when they should have been directories. Where's the facepalm emoticon?
