ETS2 fanmade concept map (WIP) (November 2021 update)

[IvanKuz]

@Janaff I did some preliminary drafting for London and I'm certain that I can include the Blackwall Tunnel and a view of Canary Wharf in the background, which would be the closest you'd get to the city centre. This wouldn't be too different from how Paris is represented in the game, or how Moscow seemingly will be based on what've seen of HoR so far. London will have to be stretched significantly in order to accommodate for realistic interchanges and the Dartford Crossing on M25 anyway, so there's quite an amount of space to play with. Of course, things still will have to be cut or condensed significantly, but most of the sacrificing will be done to the suburbs, which I don't think would be too huge a loss.

For Cambridge and Peterborough, thank you for the tip, but I'd not be comfortable with removing an existing city from the game. But I hope that maybe I'll be able to fit both. We'll see.

[Janaff]

I like your thinking for a London rebuild! One route close to the centre while keeping stuff like Heathrow, HS2's Colne Valley site, the industry around Dartford, etc. closer to the M25 as additional delivery locations is probably the way to go. I look forward to seeing the final result.

Besides, it'll be figuring out the Liverpool - Manchester - Sheffield - Leeds - Hull axis that will provide the real challenge in a condensed UK map.

I think one kind of delivery destination Truck Simulator is missing are science/medical facilities. If ETS2 had some of these company types, then Cambridge would be a perfect place to be a hub for them.

Coimbra too

@krmarci Eindhoven seems pretty doable. Antwerp will be trickier, but hopefully I'll be able deal with it.
But's let's burn that bridge when we get there I'd like to finish Germany and Going East first.

I have some ideas for Hungary: you could add

• Siófok (a town next to lake Balaton with a marina)
• Paks (Hungary's only nuclear power plant, and one of its most important energy sources)
• Szolnok (few industries, something to fill eastern Hungary)
• Győr (has an Audi factory)
• Esztergom (has a Suzuki factory)
• Kecskemét (has a Mercedes factory)
• Veszprém (industries in the north of the city, something to fill western Hungary)

Here's a map I've made (though it's incomplete yet)

Of course, including all of it is not really feasible, just wanted to give some ideas.

[IvanKuz]

@krmarci, thanks for your map, it's definitely going to be very helpful! Nice selection of industries you have there. Can't believe I missed the Nyíregyháza LEGO Plant, this will have to be rectified ASAP

[Juli On Tour]

Hi everyone! I'd like to finally share something that I have been slowly working on on-and-off for quite a while now
This project was heavily inspired by ads678's excellent ATS concept map, but focuses on ETS2 instead, and has a more idealistic, wishful nature.

Last updated: 16 August 2021, see changelog below.
Full size images are now uploaded to imgbb.com, so mobile users shouldn't have problems opening them anymore.

Please keep in mind that:

• This is a work in progress. I've only added and reworked a few territories so far. I'd like to add as much stuff as possible in the future, but I can't afford to spend a lot of time on this, so the work has been rather slow.
• I aim for realism in terms of map scale, but not necessarily for realism in terms of what we can plausibly expect SCS to spare efforts on in the near future. I know that it is unlikely that they will add new cities to a recent DLC. But I can still dream

Bonus stuff:
E81 Sibiu - Pitești draft
Germany Rhine-Ruhr area rework draft

Note: the names of cities in Belarus are written in accordance with the official transliteration rules. I'm not sure if it was the right choice to use them in this context though, because this spelling differs from English and can get rather confusing. For example, "Polack" should really be pronounced "Polatsk" or "Polotsk", and is spelled so on most maps.

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome!

I looked carefully at the cards. That looks great. I myself shared 3 links from my PDF lists somewhere on my own. I've already written a few posts, maybe you can find my links there. It took me 3 days for the lists. Please start reading the Norway list, it also contains my thoughts on this project. Best regards Julian

Are Plzen on Czech Republic and Bielsko-Biala on Poland viable on the current map space?

[plinio.lisboa.br]

What do you, ladies and gentlemen, have to say about this concept map? Would the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic have any viability for the current map to be reworked with additions of these new cities?

[dsf.fernando]

I think at least Plzen, Liberec, Olomouc and Jihlava can (and actually should) be made in the current map scale. Trnava and Zilina too.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

if i counted correct 55 cities for CZ alone, this map is unrealistic, CZ is 7x smaller then Iberia is an it has almost 50 cities i think
