Middle East Development

[Dejf94]

Sadly, these new cars did not appear in Middle East addon yet. Any plans when will these be included please?

Hello everybody

Time for some news about the Middle East add-on : Refreshing works continue in Israel and a new road will be added :
Highway 6 from Tel Aviv (near Ben Gurion airport) to the area of Haifa. City of Herzliya has also be reworked.

Yeah, very pretty BUT... me, for once, will be happy if we can get OPTIMIZATION progress instead more content. There are so many performance problems in this addon. It breaks all the immersion. Time ago you guys said you were aware of it and that work was being done towards refining some parts of the map. This was more than one year ago. I did stop using it because of this and sadly i see that no progress has been made in that regard. Last time i played was almost one and a half years ago, the south portion of the mad was almost unplayable. Today i did two deliveries coming from Turkey towards the south and the same. Sometimes i wonder if im playing a different version of the addon than everyone else because im amazed nobody cares about this.

For the next update many changes have been done in terms of vegetation and distance settings so it should help

Same for me, I also pointed at it, suggesting using map asset of parked cars, instead of generating parked AI cars. There are really a lot of parking spots, and all of them generate AI cars. If it is possible, map asset of custom cars should be used for Middle-East. I suggested combo of SCS Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Sante Fe, Kia Cee'd II, Dacia/Renault Logan as parked cars asset, that would be usable widespread across the Add-On. But I was rejected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I thought it may improve the performance. And same for me, west coast is unplayable, I can't even enter Israel and Lebanon further behind borders, because of excessive lagging.

It would be cool to see Karmiel in the game, since I live there

I don't believe Platypus can fit Karmiel as a functional city because of the small space, maybe as a scenery city which you pass by like Netivot.
