@Bengt,

Well as german player I drive more in Central Europe, and often I choose automatically tours to Scandinavia, Sweden or Norway cause of the beautiful landscapes there.

But I also like to drive to east Europe.. It was a real new experience as I added Russmap SR and great steppe for the very first time. I took a tour with that packed Glas trailer from Promods Munich to Uralsk in order to get over 100.000 Bugs for it.

I had the €s in my eyes and started.. Easily through germany, passing Berlin, reaching Poland.. That alone was already a different area to drive.. Later entered Belarus which was a real different world and a different AI behavior.. In that old version of Russmap the AI was very aggressive at least for my feelings.. I had some crashes.. And it was hard to find a free parking place for sleeping most of them were occupied. And the way to Kazakhstan just went longer and longer and the damagecount of my loaded Glas growed and growed.. In the end I reached with 42 %damage of the freight, got 0,00 bugs and had repair costs, toll costs and diesel costs... Aouh..man welcome at the wide world.. :(
Well at Uralsk I took a new tour leading me to Southern region.. And that was a very nice trip, really nice landscape, instead of dying in the deserts around Uralsk.. And after this haul I took another one from SR back to Berlin, by using the ferry over the black sea I encountered Romania and Hungary and came back with a few Euros more..
But in this time I lost me second truck and my driver cause I totally forgot about them. My little company was just in front of closing and going down because I had not enough money to pay my loan...

That was a real adventure.. The havyest I ever had in ETS2..

That was back in Winter 2017 and meanwhile the same profile exits. With over 40 Trucks and Trailer, over 20 Garages, one in Novorossyrsk, one in Maykop, one i had in that city between Bucharest and Constanta at Arayas Romania. I had to sell it sadly. I think I buy a new one in Constanta directly. And in the end at Moscow and St. Petersburg I have also branches..

And It was also impressive and a little frightened to passing by at Chernobyl. So I can say I was several times in the East and looking forward for more..

Best regards
MG Mike

Great story Mike, IRl drivers are a little scared when you pass with your truck like you dont care if they move out or not so they are making way

[MG Mike]

Ha?

I tried to drive normal take long care of the traffic rules. But so many other cars or trucks crashed my truck..

Therefore I felt that the AI was very aggressive..

But the main essence of this story is that it was a real cool experience to drive on maps I had never been before and didn't know what will await me.

Meanwhile I know what will await me, only thing left is exploring some unexplored roads. For example I'm your Ukraine I still haven't found all gravel roads. So I still will have some fun..

On the border of Ukraine and Belarus (Roextended 2.3DLC)

accidentally looked to the left and saw this "miracle".

I couldn't identify this "water tower"...

[Arayas]

it was built few days ago

[wik412]

@Arayas
Apparently, very quickly built...

[BenganJ]

Well, a sort of template is located in Pisa, Italy, I think!

[Arayas]
