There is a bit of confusion here.

According to @Vinnie Terranova map load order for C2C map with Promods canada and Reforma maps, it says, the Reforma and C2C compatibility patch V2 should go below Midwest expansion and C2C, but as per @Blackspots map load order page, it says the Reforma and C2C compatibility patch V2 should go above Midwest expansion and C2C. I am confused as to which one to follow for map load order. Also, one load order says MAPS should be at the BOTTOM in mod manager, but the other says --ai vehicle mods, wheel packs mods, trailer mods, truck improvement mods, truck mod (singular - one truck is enough) to BOTTOM of mod manager. Can anyone please let me know which one to follow?

For some map mods it doesn't matter where you put them between the other map mods. As far as I know this is true for the Reforma and C2C compatibility patch V2; I have no issues found yet. However, feel free to put it above C2C and see what happens.

The general load order is mainly based on logical thinking. Map mods themselfes can contain a lot of different game adjustments, like AI traffic, graphics, sounds. So AI traffic, graphics and sounds must be loaded with higher priority than maps. I've used this load order for several years and have no problems using it. I haven't tested if trucks can be loaded with lower priority than maps. Maybe it's possible too.
The point however is: to test if a map combo works, you MUST only use map mods. No other mods. Only if the map combo works you can add other kind of mods, like: AI traffic, graphics and sounds, and if you like: trucks, trailers, etc. But I always load them with higher priority than maps.

[edit]
I've taken a look into the Reforma and C2C compatibility patch V2 and it seems that it somehow has to do with two cities in west Texas: El Paso and Presidio. It is likely that it has to do with Reforma Chihuahua which isn't released yet. So for now put the Reforma and C2C compatibility patch V2 above C2C. As far as I know there is no need to put it above Midwest Expansion as well, as the patch doesn't change anything of Midwest Expansion. I've updated my load order.

Hi all!

Question: Wich parts of the map are planned to improve in the future?

For now Montana and the southern states (Alabama, Georia, Florida etc.) are looking good, quite realistic and enjoyable to drive. Ok, there are some copy&paste cities in the southern region, like Miami=LA, and in Florida the traffic lights sould be horizontal like in New Mexico, but this things are acceptable.

But sadly the Kansas-Oklahoma-Texas part of the map is very bad now. Poorly builded cities and terrible road network with those bumpy highway intersections, wich look awful, feels like a rollercoaster driving trough them. The scenery is empty, just randomly placed objects in the desert, and in Kansas there are big forests wich is unrealistic, there should be grassy plains, farms and fields. I think this part of the map should be completly wiped out and rebuild.

I tried the Midwest expansion mod whit this map, the road network is ok but cities are badly designed, and there is no scenery just pineforests everywhere.

So I would be very happy if there would be more states rebuilded with the current quality of the southern states.

@xRECONLOBSTERx Problem with that is, I was routed under that overpass.

@Long Haul Gamer

As far as I know, there's currently no option in the editor that prohibits GPS routing under a specific circumstance.
The only option is to make a road fully GPS avoidable, which would prohibit any routing onto the road at all costs. That option wouldn't be applicable in this situation, because *most* trucks will fit under that bridge, just not ones hauling oversized loads (which counts as a minority of players).
Furthermore, this is the reason why trailer-restricted roads in CA and CO will still show up as routes on the GPS, resulting in non-familiar players being surprised with a $1,000 fine.

Due to the lack of GPS routing options, the only solution is to add signage indicating of a risky overpass, in which an aware player should follow the route suggested on the sign.
I'd also argue that this is quite realistic, as an overwhelming amount of real life GPS systems do not warn truckers of potentially overheight overpasses; further encouraging drivers to follow their surroundings as closely as the GPS.
