SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Thank you very much friend. I really liked the mod however I would like to make a suggestion. Update the mod in the manifest by putting the option of "mod optional convoy" so that I can play on servers with your mod activated.
