Pre-research NOTICE BOARD

For example, will you analyze the real companies located in the cities you will build and the actual conditions of the unloading areas? For example, I am tired of seeing the same company buildings everywhere on the map. Unloading is one of the things that make a trucker's life difficult.
With its smooth roads and simple unloading areas, the ETS2 is a wonderland for truckers.

As you mentioned, our scale would make Malta absolutely minimal - not to say that there isn't truck industry/ transportation there (truck and trailer I mean). So I wouldn't count with Malta in game.

Good Morning!
  I completely disagree with your opinion.
  Malta ... Monaco, .... and others.
  They have logistics companies, and cargo flows from these small countries, and cargo from the large countries of Europe, to these small countries.
  There is case of Malta, ferry, connecting with Italy - Sicily.
  I don't see why you can't add in in the game, in the future Malta is just a matter of map scale we are with a point of 1.36 maybe with 2.0 it is possible to put these small countries which would be extremely interesting because a bigger map makes it easier for SCS Software in the future own Word Truck Simulator.
  Searching very quickly, I found at least three logistics companies (trailer + truck) and extremely modern trucks.
  Malta has a large cargo movement because it is between Tunisia and Italy there is a large cargo flow.


The only thing SCS can do, and should do for ETS2, and justify the name "truck simulator of Europe" 2, is to own all European countries.
Including the Vatican, it has truck and trailer loads, at least once a year, the Christmas delivery of Pinheiro, which is in St. Peter's Square, and he comes from one country every year.
The Vatican also has a television broadcast trailer and this trailer follows the Pope where he goes in Europe.
So for example; The Pope will pay a visit to France, the truck travels to France, and transmits the images to the world through Vatican TV.
Monaco is another country too that has many industries and exports to the whole world.
So simply to exclude these small countries and the FAROE Islands and others is a geographic mistake, a mistake in the game, as it would no longer simulate the reality of trucks and cargo.


Remember Malta is at a crossroads the logistics between Africa and Europe.

@plinio.lisboa.br I agree with what you said (I am Maltese). Also, there is a freeport in Malta where a lot of trucks pick up freight which would make it a very good depot in game. Also, our airport has a cargo terminal. If Malta had to be given a different scale, I think it can be implemented. @Carthoo can this be done?

Good morning my friend from Malta.

I do not know what scale of map it will take for small countries in Europe to be but I think that as the 5.0 or 7.0 scale it would be possible to have small countries in a very detailed way, it is a long way there.

I really wish SCS could be doing this job of putting all the small countries of Europe into the game, and with loads it would be very unfair and wrong to exclude them.
In my opinion, the idea of ​​the game is to simulate trucks in Europe, Malta is part of Europe; Monaco, Andorra, Alan Islands, Faroe Islands, Man, Gilbraltar, Channel Islands, Vatican, San Marino, Cyprus, Liechtenstein.

I can't understand why they should be excluded.
I believe it should be a goal for SCS to seek to make a European map big enough for small countries to be there.
Loads for these countries are present eg "what is the big load for the Vatican?" The big Christmas pine tree that always comes from a different European country in the semi trailer enters St. Peter's Square!
Vatican TV trailer touring Europe.

It would be interesting that we have truck flows in Europe to the Arctic at the northernmost point of the planet, where the truck can travel which is in the SVALBARDr Archipelago there are some semi trailers, but mostly rigid chassis trucks.
It would be interesting for people to know how these places might encourage young truckers in real life to meet them in real work.
