[REL][WIP] ProMods: Canada version 1.x updates and discussion

[flight50]

I believe they stated on Discord that it will only be for the latest version SCS releases at the time. So 1.39 in this case. ProMods will always stay current with SCS to benefit from the new assets/features/content.

Latest version, on release check which Map DLCs are required
I will assume the team will have a compatibility list or similar

[Marcello Julio]

Only Oregon and Washington DLC for the first version.

[plykkegaard]

Yes I remember now, thanks
This will change in future as you move east along the border

[flight50]

Yes it will change for sure. The version after v1.0 could require Idaho as it has Canada 21 and Canada 95. If the following version comes before Montana or not, SCS needs to get US-2 heading to Kalispell so that Bonner's Ferry can be in place as a scenic town. ProMods would have to connect to that.

If we are lucky, we get Wyoming and Montana next year. Otherwise, it could be Wyoming and Texas. Montana, provides ProMods with a ton of space for several years. With BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan, I don't think ProMods will get to far ahead of SCS once Montana is in place. It will be years before ProMods will need North Dakota. I'm guessing ND is in place by 2025 perhaps. Regards when ND comes, Montana is that key state to get the bulk of Canada's busiest road network into the game until they hit the East.

If no conneting map in US, promods can expand north while waiting

[flight50]

^Yep. That is what I said on Discord. I know they may want to push East because its the busier roads perhaps but I think its better to push North until SCS catches up when it comes down to waiting. Getting to far ahead of SCS imho, means backtracking and having to updating more. To me, its better to let SCS push the pace and connect to them instead of having double back to connect. Plus, they will be able to use any new assets that is not pushed to the base files.
