Yeah, I know many of them are paid by the product manufacturer to show and advertise the product. However, brands are often shown in the background or out of focus. Such thinks are sometimes also purposely placed as a sort of subtle advertisement. However, they are more often a result of coincidence. Film editors don't often take the time to edit out every store sign in the background.
In any case, these movies are indeed a very different topic than these games.
If the police car designs are legally copyrighted by the Dutch government, then either that government allows their use in media, or SCS likely reached out for permission. It is no different than company brands, especially not because of this "portraying reality" aspect.

Sorry, i didn't mean to "derail" for lack of a better word, the thread, it was about ETS2 <> ATS trucks being removed.

my sincere apologies :-)

Scs could put truck models into a seperate .scs file which cannot be extracted with scs_extractor, like core.scs.

Noticed they did remove mods, a lot of open pipe mods for example are now gone (only noticed today, didn't play yesterday. Can't say when it happened precisely) I hear it's based up on what the manufacturers wanted making it impossible for SCS to ignore that as it may hurt their relationship with those companies. Which on turn may even mean a company will pull out and force SCS to remove those trucks from the platform as well by force if need be. Leaving us without those trucks and even more angry then we are now. I fear the manufacturers have the last say in it whether we want that or not. SCS doesn't really have a say in the matter. It's not a nice thing of these manufacturers to kill specific mods that shouldn't do any harm at all (such as sound mods, skin mods etc within good reason), but we can't really do anything about it unfortunately.

Nice, best support with mods is SW
Control which mods are allowed in SW even legal mods

Call me naive but I don't buy it
You are sure it is legal mods which are removed?

Nope, open pipe mods haven't been touched. If they have been removed then then author of the mod must have done it.

If you have a link to the mod I can tell you if it was removed by the user or not.
