Southern Region map v13.1 [1.54]

[MG Mike]

@bengan, ok. Interesting

But doesn't Sergey said once he can't doo much with southern region cause it is still under active development by Simka and may his team, if he has one!?

Russmap Was stopped and Sergey was allowed to take over, but SR is still under development.. So if it should repositioned and/or rescaled I think it is up to Simka or not?

@MG Mike

You are probably right there, but Sergey did release a couple of versions while
SimKA was mourning his friend and team-member. I have no contact with SimKA,
but a good one with Sergey, so that had to be my way to get to what's left of the
team. Now we can only wait and see. Crossing my fingers though! :D

You are mistaken friends. Simka’s team is all alive and well and he continues to work on the project.
 This is Dmitry (the author of Rusmap) who died who made models for the map. Dmitry is now in service and we are preparing a new version of the map for release) I continue to work in the west of Belarus, Dmitry is busy in the central part of the map.
 After the release, the map will have two directions: north and south.

Вы ошибаетесь друзья. В команде у Симки все живы и здоровы и он продолжает заниматься проектом.
Это у Дмитрия (автор Русмапа) умер человек, делавший модели для карты. Сейчас Дмитрий в строю и мы с ним готовим к выходу новую версию карты) Я продолжаю заниматься западом Беларуси, Дмитрий занят в центральной части карты.
После релиза у карты будет два направления: север и южная часть.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the situation! I apologize for that! :(

Извините, если я неправильно понял ситуацию! Я прошу прощения за то! :(

If it is not a secret - where are you planning to expand in the southern way? There is Southern Region to the south of Rusmap. Or maybe you plan to add some territories by the Caspian Sea? For example, Astrakhan and new alternative way to reach The Great Steppe.

Сергей, если не секрет - какие конкретно планы по расширению в южном направлении? Там ведь Симка работает. Или, может Ваши планы касаются территорий у Каспийского моря - то есть, той части южного региона, которая пока не входит по расширение карты ЮР? Может, в будущим можно будет сгонять в Астрахань и оттуда на просторы Великой Степи? :)

I really hope this mod continues. Its pretty neat, too bad it is not getting the love it deserves.

Also the kamaz 54 that comes with the mod (i think it comes with southern region, but i could be wrong and it could be rusmap) needs serious update too. Textures (skins) need converting to DX11, there are many warning about obsolete stuff, and some dashboard items apparently are missing (wish i could fix it myself, but the mod is locked). Also wish it had Sisl compatibily, i really love that truck!. In any case, this is a great map mod , yeah i know i probably say the same about rusmap, roextended and other maps... but well, its the truth. The only thing missing in this map is a proper update. ;)

@tantalus

And ultimately a re-scale, re-location! I've given them a Map Editor BG to use,
but sadly, it's a huge job to do, so I'm not that optimistic!

[tantalus]

Well, it will take time, a lot of it. But with ETS2 patience is a must these days. And yeah, i noticed that there is too much density between cities (its reallly easy to see since they are all over the water.... ).

I realized that there are still flickering textures at least on the southern part or the mod, just driving out of Novorossiysk (sorry if i missespelled it cant remember exactly). Some light road patches, some sideways, and vegetation and trees (a lot of them). Even some trees in the distance on the landscape... Still kinda enjoyable but annoying sometimes.

@tantalus

Yes, I think Arayas didn't catch all problematic textures in SRMap when he
created the TexFix4 and it's predecessors.

[tantalus]

I dunno if someone is fixing stuff in SR, but i found big signs in the middle of the road in both sides ->

For some reason it didnt save the screenshot but -> Signs in the middle of the road both sides ;[02/01/2020 03:05] (sec+0027+0005);111251;13.0778;20984.5;1.83378;-0.215674

I just started grabbing bugs again as i play and found this one for now in SR. I dont have hopes its fixed but i drop it here just in case.

EDITED by BenganJ: Here's the missing screenshot!
