Eastern Express Map v7.0 + Review

Not only Russia, but also Belarus were added in to this version with the original Europe map. Ukraine will be added in the next version!

I have been driving this map for about 24 hour’s now, and I found this map to be very nice. Very nice in deed, I also liked the idea of driving to Moscow or “Mockba” to the Russian player’s out there.
I did find a few minor issues with the map, like road sections that didn’t quite match up, some rough ness in the road minor stuff like that.
I also found that the time seemed to move slower in this map. I did 4 quick jobs, where in the regular game you could do 2 and the sun would come up. I found that very interesting.
So that was interesting to me, night seemed to go slower, I am not really sure if it was an accident or if the developers meant it to be that way.
Now to the core of the matter.
This is a stand alone map. it will not work with the core game, so you will have to start a new Profile.
I had a couple of mod conflict’s in the game, I had to run this game with out any mods going.
I will keep running this map to find out what was the problems and I will leave an update on a later date.
It is my opinion that this will be a great map, I feel that if the development team can get the miner fixed then this will be a really nice map to drive.
To the Eastern Express map team, I say congrats to you. Keep up the good work!

Update:

I tried this map a little while ago and I found it to be a real nice map. I was asked if I would go back and do an other look at the updated version.
So that’s what I have done. But this time I decided to keep going to find snow, like it day’s in the description.
I found snow, but I had to go into the far northern part of Russia to find it. When I did, my truck really had to work to drive in it.
I have driven in snow in real life, so driving in snow in this game was a real treat. I did how ever find a couple of bugs in this map, I hope they will get fixed in a new update. I will recommend this map to any one that wants to try it. I found this map to be Challenging in places and I found it to be easy in others. This map is very well done and it is worth the download. Have fun all.
