Postcard from Austria

Hello dear followers,

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!

Regards,

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!

ItalyAddon update 1.2.5

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

To download this update please go to the downloadsection. When it says there's no link available I'm still working on it. The link will be available within a few moments so be patient.

On the Mod-page is described what's exactly new. The invisible wall issues are also fixed.

Have fun!!

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!!
