[@remko7774]

I am so happy that promods career is back 🎉

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Me too, it's fun to be back. I forgot how awesome Iceland was too. Fun times. :)

[@MarinoMoons]

YES! Finally, I have been waiting for the next episode in the series for so long! And yes the airport in Ísafjörður is real and is shown pretty accurately in the game

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

It feels good to be back, and thanks for the update on the airport. That's wild!

[@ypcdecor6750]

Hey, I was an old subscriber of your first channel, when I first rediscovered it, I was disappointed to not find any ATS or ETS2, but then I found this channel, so glad to see you continue to push through with great content.😁

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, very glad you found this one! I should probably make an announcement on the old channel now and then about the new channel. It seems like I get a lot of questions from people who don't realize that I split things up. In any case, glad you're here! :)

[@ParkeraNZ]

Great to see you back in ETS and with PM again.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks, fun to be driving again. :)

[@RevanFan]

ATS mod news. Beyond (combination of Caribbean Map and Pacific Map) should be coming out in a few days. Once all connections and patches are updated I'll update my ATS mod list.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, that sounds very promising! I'm just processing a new ETS2 episode and was thinking to do ATS over the weekend, but maybe I'll install Africa and keep going with this one for a bit.

[@paul13gr]

Nice to have you back!!!

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Fun to be back, thanks!

[@craigmorson]

Zilla thanks for another awesome episode keep them up 👍

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks! I'm hoping for a nice consistent run of episodes now. :)

[@coyi51]

For a while there I believed you were going make a loss on this trip, some quick with the ticket police. Nice to see this back, Hope you enjoyed your break.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I think the final profit might only have been 6-7k, counting all the tickets, repairs, and ferry fees, but it was a fun drive. :) Fun to be back, now to get a nice consistent run of playing and video creation. I hope things are well with you. :)

[@OLOGYNY]

Welcome back! I’ve really been enjoying your videos

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it, and now it's time for some steady months of regular episodes. :)

[@craigmorson]

Hi zilla thanks for another awesome episode keep them up 👍 and I hope you enjoyed your vacation

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Vacation was so relaxing, and gave me a bunch of time to think about life. Very helpful, thanks. :)

[@craigmorson]

Good

[@thecustardprophet8434]

Really cool that there is a mod to go to Greenland!

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Yes, I wonder if they'll build it up more in the future. Right now it's basically Nuuk, but fun to explore. :)

[@kuba35-y7l]

there is a very cool secret road that goes down the middle of iceland you need to find the 'stein bruch' company in the middle of iceland then there is a road next to it that is very bumpy and it takes you to akureyri.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, I'll look for that one, thanks! I noticed what looked like a lot of hidden roads on this trip too. At least 3 or 4 that looked interesting. :)

[@MlCROPIZZA]

If you are staying in the mountainous area you should invest to tandem drive axle once it is available. Extra power no use if you don't have traction to put it on the road.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Good tip to know, thank you!

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

The damage could have been your problem with steering, it's happened to me before. Fun episode.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Yeah, that would make sense. It was really getting challenging to steer on some of those roads. :)

[@thef4lsepr0phet]

What HUD mod are you using mate? Looks way sleeker than original game

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Sure thing, here you go, a tutorial for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZrdmKyArpt-rKM

[@timothywest1183]

My method for building up a business was always to drive for someone else, then when I get a truck I hire someone and keep driving other companies trucks. That way I always have one more income than I have trucks.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

That's likely a good way to maximize income, yes. I like having my own truck and upgrading it, though. :)

[@timothywest1183]

@@ZillaBlitzPC Me too. Which is why I now just use the money mod to make several billion and then buy and build what I want and drive where I want to go. But at some point I’ll probably start another profile that I do realistic money/gas and do it the slow way. Lots of ways to play the game for sure.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

@@timothywest1183 Absolutely. That's the beauty of the game, so many ways to play. I like working for some of the achievements too.

[@CovenantGaming]

Awww yeah, Zilla is back! Great video as usual and looking forward to more in ETS2. Question, what backround map mod are you using? I like the colored background it has.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Fun to be back, thanks! These are the three mods I added to the top of my load order: Jerry's Fullscreen Maps (ETS2) Default GPS Colors for ETS2 AllWorld MAP ETS2 AllWorld MAP

[@habibmargla]

Very informative video 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks!

[@gplabon]

5:05 its your fault mate

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Oh, it's never my fault. Unless I'm talking with my wife, then it's always my fault.

[@classicalmusic3979]

Going wrong instantly after starting Fine on roundabouts given by the police Getting another speeding fine in a tunnel After 10 months of no Promods career

[@AdamRychtera-u2i]

i do not still get you get so not many views, your content is top-notch. Maybe it's because you cut some parts of the drive from the video, which can be unpleasant. I'd like to see the whole drive, there are definitely some nice shots or challenges, are you filming the whole journey? Anyway, I like your videos, whatever approach you choose, thanks for them. By the way, cool video. I enjoyed watching the driving on the snowy road. In the most difficult part, where you only drive at a speed of 2 km/h, I stopped going uphill myself and slipped and crashed into the cars behind me. I solved it by going off the road that was sliding to the snowy edge, from which I set off.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks for the kind words, the views will come I think, as I add other games to the channel as well, and become more consistent in publishing content. :) That's a great tip for picking up speed, I can try that next time. Thanks!

[@MthabisiKhumalo-f8k]

When was the last episode you did on Promods Career?

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I talk about that in the episode as well, but it was October of last year. Almost 10 months ago! How time flies. :)

[@hypergamerz734]

How to graphic sharp

[@hypergamerz734]

How to these kind of nice graphics have plz say

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I have a fairly strong computer with a good graphics card, that's the main thing I think. My computer specs are in the video description. :)

[@classicalmusic3979]

Nuuk is capital of greenland.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I did not know that, thanks. :)

[@RevanFan]

Nuuk was added in the latest version of ProMods, so you're seeing VERY new mapping from them. The quality just keeps improving over time, just like with SCS.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

That makes sense, because I didn't recall seeing the option before. :) Fun to go to Greenland, and awesome to see how they keep improving the mod. :)

[@RevanFan]

Some places you should definitely put on the to do list in modded parts of the game (some recently added or changed, some just awesome): Longyearbyen in Svalbard, the entire E6 route through Norway, Damascus, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, al-Nukhayb in Iraq, Amman in Jordan, Gaza if you choose to add Project Palestine to the mix (really just do a MIddle-East tour haha), Poti and Kutaisi in Georgia, Moscow, the Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan border, Uralsk in Kazakhstan, Ashgabat in Turkmenistan, Seoul, Mogadishu, Port Sudan, Tripoli, The Gambia in general, and when the JRR mod eventually releases (the mod is taking a while haha), Jakarta.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

This is a great bucket list of places to see and explore. Sounds like the Middle East has a lot to offer. I'm excited to check out Norway next, although I want to find some of those hidden roads in Iceland first. :)

[@RevanFan]

If you're planning to add Beyond, Heart of Africa, and Horn of Africa, that will add a ton of really diverse areas to the game. Wholeheartedly recommend it. Though add SibirMap too if you're planning to head toward The Great Steppe. Kirov Map is definitely worth adding to Russia as well. Altai Map... honestly I haven't driven there yet. I've heard good things but I have no personal review of it. What do you think of the new background map that covers more area and has the colored view of the world? I didn't like it at first but I've really warmed up to it.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

I definitely want to add Africa, it sounds so cool. So those are the three mods that I need (Beyond, Heart of Africa, and Horn of Africa) to be able to drive from the top to the bottom of Africa? I saw there were some combo patch mods in your list as well.

[@RevanFan]

@@ZillaBlitzPC Not quite top to bottom. To get all the way to South Africa you'd need Road into Wilderness, but I don't recommend it. It's very inaccurate and copy paste. Heart is Senegal and The Gambia, and Horn is Somalia and... I think maybe a bit of Kenya? Not sure. But they're both very good quality. And Beyond is a combination of Road to Asia and Road to Africa, and VERY strong quality, like their Caribbean is for ATS. They'll need a few patches and road connections too but everything should be laid out in the spreadsheet. If you have any questions I'm always around haha.

[@ZillaBlitzPC]

Thanks very much. Even though Road into Wilderness might not be good, I'm tempted by the idea of doing a South Africa to Morocco or Alexandria delivery. :)

[@RevanFan]

@@ZillaBlitzPCUnfortunately the best mod for Morocco, Maghreb Map, hasn't been updated. If you do choose to use Road Into Wilderness, you'd need the following extra mods: Beyond+RIW Fix RIW to Beyond RC RIW Horn of Africa RC Heart of Africa Fix (RIW Addon) RIW to Heart of Africa RC RIW (Road into Wilderness) RIW models All the links can be found in the Quantity mod build in my spreadsheet. Place them in that exact order, below ProMods Assets and above Heart of Africa Fix.

[@ZillaBlitz]

@@RevanFan Thanks! This sounds a bit complicated but I'll give it a shot. :)
