[REL] Ferry Collection for ETS2 v2023.01.24

[Vinnie Terranova]

@Roon_Moonlight The whole point, the one and only reason, that I started this Ferry Collection mod, is that I don't want dozens of separate ferry connection mods. I want just one mod that contains all useful ferry connections. So, although it's technically possible to make separate ferry connections per mod, I'm not gonna do that.

But my mod is not locked, so feel free to create separate ferry connections per mod for yourself. The current version of my mod contains 20 ferry connections and 4 disabled ferry connections, but as there are two ferry connections needed between two cities (from A to B, and from B to A) there are actually 10 active ferry lines and 2 disabled ferry lines. So, basically each separate ferry connection mod you want to make needs two files, which can be found in \def\ferry\connection\*.* within the Ferry Collection mod.

Please re-download the mod if you have downloaded it already; it contained a small error...

The Ferry Collection mod also contains a similar ferry connection. In fact it was the reason that triggered me to create this Ferry Collection mod.
You can use that Replacement Ferry mod if you don't need all the other ferry connections in the Ferry Collection mod. Just use either the Replacement Ferry mod or the Ferry Collection mod. Whatever mod you choose, just place it above all map mods.

Seems like somebody already reuploaded it. I don't know if I should be angry or honored.

Anyway please only use the original link found here:

Brensholmen - Longyearbyen

Should be replaced by Gdańsk-Longyearbyen instead, which exists IRL as the research crew and shipping route.

Yeah, it makes total sense that the Brensholmen ferry, about 60km from Tromsø, should be nuked. Because:
Tromsø, also known as the gateway to the arctic sea for the last 150-200 years is un-immersive, lets all drive down to central parts of Europe.
There was (in the old days) a lot of ships, whaling, fishing, seal hunting, coal freighters (the mines in Longyearbyen), and ships who ferried hunters who was going to spend the winter on Svalbard.
Nowadays there are research vessels, the coastal guard, the Norwegian Navy (and their NATO allies), and commercial freighters having a stop in Tromsø before going into the arctic sea.
And, btw, Svalbard is Norwegian territory.

@Vinnie Terranova:
Thank you very much for this mod. It makes gaming a lot less grindy as I can skip driving through Finland and Sweden when going south.
And I fully understand the map-modders, like the ProMod crew, including some-thing (with the absolutely fantastic Finnmarken mod) can't do everything, and stuff takes time.

Regards,
OaS
