As you guys might have seen on the promods site there are some issues with the conversion progress. Even I can't give you a release date of the new version of promods. But there's something else I can tell you. A few montha ago we ended a progress which will add an area to promods. Some roads already existed but needed to be improved a lot to be added in ProMods.
The area I'm talking about is one of those area's you guys know very well but haven't driven that much the past time. Of course I'm talking about Italy. One of the problems was the new road added by SCS, luckily everything could be fitted flawlessly. Another thing was the signs and the fonts. Back in the time I made seperate mod packs I made all the assets myself, now we have added some new assets to make the roads more in Promods-style.
I hope to be able to announce soon that the area is open again, but first we need to solve other issues. To follow the latest news you can go to the promods website: promods.net or to that facebookpage.

Latest updates
Hello dear community. Due to some busyness at ProMods I did not post that much here, so I was thinking to post something here again.
As you may know the Italy mod doesn't work on 1.12 because it will be integrated in ProMods some day. So if you want to play the Italy map please have some patience, we're working hard to lift it up to the ProMods detail level. Since the Italy mod is part of ProMods there are much more models available to use, much more as I used to have in my own mod. To name a few examples I have now acces to much more traffic signs as before, we developed a modular signing system to name a few things.
Since it has been a few months ago that I posted some images here I'll post a few views of the Italy map as you already knew it, but now with the improvements we made.
These are just only a few images taken around the world. For more images, please go to the promods website, the italian section, here you can also see what other members of the team did. http://promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1244&start=80 This is a link to the moment when I've started to integrate my map into promods, please go trough that forum post to see all the other developments.

Open beta, compatibility modpacks M95-mods
As you might have noticed SCS has thrown the 1.11 open beta live. All the modpacks released under the name M95-mods will not be conmpatible anymore as announced. The modpacks from M95-mods (Italy and Austria) are becoming part of promods in the future. If you've read the news on the promods-site you might have seen that Austria is getting shape.
I would like to thank you all for your support on the forum and website for my mods and hopefully you will enjoy the newer parts when they are included in promods (but that will take a while I think, don't know how long).

Some good and bad news
Hello dear followers, It has been a time ago when I posted something, well that´s because very much things are changed now. At first I´m going to bring you the bad news, all the map mods on this website will not be compatible with version 1.11.
This has a reason so please don´t think I´m lazy. In fact things are getting better and better because of the following, I had some contact with the ProMods team for a very long time. To make a long story very short, I cooperated with ProMods, so that means less updates than I used to do but when there´s an update there should be more stuff available.
And don´t think I did not worked on the map, instead. One side of Innsbruck is nearly done, but here is much work to do unfortunately. Which also needs to be done is the other side of Innsbruck and a rebuild of the A13 and creating the Stubaital, if there´s enough space.
Now, it´s time for some images around Innsbruck:
NOTE: This is just to show the developments of this part of the map (I don't know for how long this this will be on this place). Any questions related to ProMods can't be asked here, but can be asked on the ProMods website. www.promods.net.

Innsbruck slowly gets its new shapes
After a few days of hard working things are going to look better and better around Innsbruck. Remember the first images, when only the roads were laid. Now I've unfolded the landscapes besides the road and it is going to look better and better. To compare the A13 in the mod with the A13 in real live I searched a good picture of it (yes, Austria has no google maps unfortunately but people took so many photo's on the A13, so that can be used instead).
The background might be slightly different than the reality but this has everything to deal with the scaling of SCS and the already existing parts of this area.
Please don't think after this that the project is ready. After this part the A12 needs to get new intersections both to Innsbruck and the other side of the A13. The whole A13 also needs to be rebuilt towards Italy (existing one was too short in my opinion), I'm going to try to add the Europabrücke and an exit to the Stubaital, where tree-et will be located in future. "Try" means in this case, no warranty. If there's not enough space I need to think about something else.
In any case. Tyrol, Austria is getting much more better than before! Stay tuned for more and thanks for your support.

Images from Innsbruck
At this moment I've started to do some modificationa around Innsbruck, well, some is not the right word I think. The whole highway-network will be changed and the city will get customised exits, that means that the WHOLE A12 in Austria has custom exits. (Feldkirch is the A14 and will not be modified within a short term).
To make space for this it was neccesary to remove the company of thee-et. But don't be sad. When there's space this will be located somewhere else in the Innsbrucker land, somewhere in the mountains. (I hope there's space to create a typical Austrian road uphill).
The images are just rough WIP images, but it is to give you an impression of what is going to happen. The image is the section which is going to be the new A12/A13 crossing. (Click the image to enlarge).
For the Italy fans is also news, when Austria is finished I will start to build Bologna and the A14 southwards, the A13 northwards from there (to Padova). Only interruption of that project will be the reconnection to the new SCS roads (to keep the map compatible in a good way this is very important).

Postcard from Austria
Greetings from Tyrol, Austria.
After some hard working on this intersection I can show you the result. And what is more fun to do then showing you something by sending you a postcard! So this is exactly what I did for you guys. Hopefully you like this piece of art. After this update I'm going further to the city of Innsbruck to change the intersection out there.
If you want to greet me back you can leave a comment below!

Say hello to these beauties
Did you ever noticed Austria just had just two speed signs in the game. The one witt 50 and the one with 90. For those who've been in Austria know that there are more speed limits.
The most important ones missing are the ones with 70, 80 and 100. Just look at this picture and see what I've added!
But that's not all. I also started to do some rebuilds on the Austrian A12. The goal is not to have any standard junctions on this autobahn anymore(so the crossing to Salzburg will be modified but also the crossing at Innsbruck to Verona and the exit(s) to Innsbruck).
As you can see the crossing is just a wip image. So don't be afraid that it's ready now. It's just to give you an impression how it is going to look.
After these modifications I'll start to modify the A1 at Salzburg so it is possible to connect the A10 southwards to the announced south, in other words, SCS worked on a big part of Italy, so I can make Austria ready to connect in a decent way.

Real austrian signs in game
With the upcoming update in Austria made by SCS and my modifications, and the current situation in Austria I decided to make the signs a bit more realistic and more convenient. To take the exit at Innsbruck for example. The navigation signs used here are the italian ones. These will be removen and replaced by signs like thesee. (the straight ahead sign is an austrian sign which is already in the game, the one with the arrow to the right is made by me).
There will be more signs like these in Austria, so keep track! For Italy this means that the citylimitsigns are very close, and maybe there's more!

As you might have noticed there's an announcement on the downloadpage for the update of the 1.2.1 version of the ItalyAddon.

Austria update SCS, modifications I'll do
SCS just released some beautiful pictures form Austria. Finally the south of this country is coming in this game (after very much years, start counting in the GTS times), and this map-update will be free for all users. Now these roads are known I can start to do my modifications because it is not going to fit 100% with, for example the Italy mod, and some improvements are in my eyes, not fully realised.
Everybody knows the closed road at the road Salzburg-A12. This is going to be a road to the south. The A9 Pyhrn autobahn will also be realised so there's very muc going to change in Austria.
On the map you can see 3 squares numbered. These are the modifications you can except.
1. Venezia:
To connect Italy with the rest of east Europe SCs decided to expand the A4 to Venezia. That's somethin I've already did to Vicenza. The map will be changed there so everything will connect without any problems.
2. Tauern Autobahn:
As you can see on the imange there's a short piece of autobahn crossing the A2 going to the north, this is the Tauern autobahn and goes in real life from Salzburg to the south. It is not certain if I am going to mod this, when SCS is expanding this road that version will be used, when this is how it is going to be I'll expand the A10 north to Salzburg.
3??. Brenner autobahn-Inntal autobahn
The crossing at Innsbruck between the A13 and the A12 is since the start of ets2 unrealistic. You are leaving the autobahn to a city road to go to the beginning of a new road, in real life it is a normal highway junction. I'll rebuilt that part with the FLD prefabs.
As you can see on the google map the blue lines are the roads SCS already made in the second map (the one with the squares). The red one is where the A10 is going to be.
As I have said before, this is great news, for the Vanilla gamers and for my plans to expand Austria because this is going to make things a lot easier.

Official mod video
To give the mod some more attention in the ETS2 mod-world I've decided to make a short video with some nice view in the Italian area's which are added by the ItalyMod. Of course you think why I'm not working on the invisible wall issues and the other reported bugs. Well, I can say I did. There's just one invisible wall left which is hard to destroy because I can't find the source of this wall. When this is removed, the map is ready for update, so please have a little patience.
Anyway, you must be curious about the video, here it is:

Sneak preview of surprise near Verona
As promised the next update with the correction of invisible walls will contain a surprise. It is hard not to see any developments and only read stories about is, it is hard not to hear anything from progress.
To show you all that the development continues, even when there's no news I'll show you a picture of an old new part on this map. Maybe now you know what's in the next update, besides the fix of invisible walls. It is a kind of thank you for reporting bugs like these so that it's possible for me to keep the map improving and expanding and in the and, you guys can drive in a whole better map.
And feel free to leave a comment. That's also article-specific possible now!!

Austria expansion
Did you ever want to drive to Graz, Villach or Klagenfurt for example? Unfortunately that's impossible. That's why there is going to be an expansion in Austria. First works will be towards Italy. Stay tuned for images, updates and news of this project. Project will be started when the invisible wall issue in Italy is solved (and the Verons surprise is revealed of course).
And it's ready when it is ready.
