[Frederik]

New fixed West Africa is out:
https://ets2.lt/en/west-africa-map/
Cant find the the more official link than this.
However to make it 100% fixed one more ferry connection needs to be added between Nouakchott and Yeji 1 ports.

NOTE: This map is probably not compatible with EAA combos!

Yes, seems to be original as it was uploaded to Sharemods by the Addition Somalia creator!

I can confirm that this is the official download as the rebuild has been made in close collaboration with me. If someone has any bugs, please write them down and I'll see if it is possible to fix them

A question for who already has driven on the West Africa map....do vehicles have the license plates or they are left without like on the somalian map?

Yes, I didn't see any license plates.

The original author of TGS was quite angry about the 2.1 update being released without his permission, reading the posts.

Yeah, it was quite difficult to understand what was going on at first sight, because some of the earlier posts were in Russian language. But in the end the creator of TGS didn't seem too much bother that TGS was fixed and used in several map combos. I think he mainly had trouble with people not giving him enough credits with TGS 2.1.
Besides, this discussion about TGS 2.1 started when a lot of people already had this version in their map combos, so what's the point of removing it from the current load order? Earlier adopted versions of TGS were also widely used in map combos without any trouble. And last but not least, it's only a temporary solution as we all know that ProMods is creating their version of TGS. And I wouldn't be surprised if this PM version of TGS is build from scratch.

- Invisible object when you try to drive from the ferry in Nouakchott
- Some XXX barriers east of Nouakchott
- It's not possible to put waypoints near Yeji
- The ferry to Yeji is called 'accre' which can be confusing. Maybe it can be renamed to 'Yeji', and the small ferry connection can stay the same, or something like 'Yeji 1' and 'Yeji 2'.
- No licence plates?

Additional to Vinnie's findings:

* Some companies seem to be mislabeled
* At least one Man branded dealer (Malabo) shows up as "Scania dealer discovered"
* Quite a few missing textures, eg pink police car wheels
* On the subject of Police, the ones near Yeji seemed to be from Eastern Europe

None of the ones I mention here are blockers, but should be addressed at some point. For me the most urgent one would be the Nouakchott invisible object Vinnie mentioned. With the initial release you could drive from the ferry on the rough track between the wall and the building, but not now

On the contrary, he demanded it be deleted and forbid everyone from using ANY version of it. I would quote the post, but it's been removed. ProMods also took the same stance. You can ask them.

I use it myself anyway, I couldn't care less.

@volvafh I haven't read that post from neither the creator of TGS nor ProMods. But if the creator of TGS really wanted to forbid everyone to use any version of his mod, then why has he deleted his post?

But as I said before: I could of course remove TGS from the load order, but it will not make any difference as almost everyone is using TGS anyway.

He didn't delete the posts, sergey did, as they were on his forum. The drama was all in this thread: http://truck-sim.club/topic/39492-proek ... -28112022/

RusMap 2.46.2 has been released, but I have no time yet to test if it works with the current road connections.
