NORTHERN SCANDINAVIA V0.98.8 1.20X (STANDALONE) Map

NORTHERN SCANDINAVIA V0.98.8 FOR 1.20X (STANDALONE) Map

Chris94_NOR has released a new standalone map called Northern Scandinavia v0.98.8. To use this mod, you must have the DLC Scandinavia installed (since v0.98.5). Here are a few questions and answers to help you understand the mod better.

Q: Why is DLC Scandinavia required to use this map?
A: DLC Scandinavia is required because the map uses models, prefabs, roads, tunnels, and other assets from the DLC.

Q: Do I also need DLC Going East if I have DLC Scandinavia?
A: No, DLC Going East is not required because the map does not use any assets from it.

Q: Can I use this map with other map mods?
A: Unfortunately, this map is not compatible with other map mods. It is a standalone map and has a different scale than the vanilla map in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2). The standard scale of the vanilla map is 1:19 (1:15 for the UK), while this map has a real-life scale of 1:1 and real-time hours.

Q: Is it possible to make this map compatible with other map mods?
A: It is not possible because that would require creating a new map in the same scale as the vanilla map, which would mean leaving out many cities. The modder has considered making a Northern Scandinavia map in 1:19 scale before but was not successful.

Installation:
– Copy and paste NorthernScandinavia-def.scs, NorthernScandinavia-map.scs, and tzmap.scs to “Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod”
– Create a new profile (only for those who do not already have a profile for this map)
