On the road in (new) Austria

May 13, 2022

With the latest patch for Euro Truck Simulator 2, SCS Software has released the new version of the Austria part of the basegame map.

Unlike the earlier revision of Germany, the Austria part is a total rework of every road and city in the country. And it shows! The difference from the old version is huge as this part of the map now is up to par with the latest DLCs when it comes to visual presentation and road network.

The fact that big parts of the country consists of very visually delightful Alpine views does make the result of the rework even more welcome. I can’t help but find myself loving to drive through the tunnels and across the valleys.

Wintertime

January 5, 2022

It is winter all around, so why not in Euro Truck Simulator 2 too? On my way with a delivery between the wintry Danish islands.

The winter feel is thanks to a package of mods called Frosty Winter which is made by Grimes and available on his web site. There’s also other seasonal mods there as well as some other. I haven’t yet used any of those though. But the winter one is truly great when you need a change from the ever-summer in the game.

ETS2 Iberia DLC released

ETS2 Iberia DLC released

April 8, 2021

The latest DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 which adds Portugal and Spain to the driveable map is released today. And since the Iberian peninsula isn’t exactly small, this means that the driveable area has got a pretty big increase. Pretty is perhaps also a good word to use to describe the visual side of the expansion. SCS has really become good at what they do. The screenshots and videos we’ve got to see clearly shows that the ETS2 has come quite a long way from its beginnings!

To the Black Sea

Finally it’s time for me to do my first tour to the countries bordering the Black Sea. I know, I’m late on this DLC. But better late than never I guess.

So in order to get there promptly I took a quick job in neighbouring Hungary and got a pretty nice red Renault to drive over the border.
