5. In the panel where the program functions are listed, select "Editor" > "Settings". In the "Editor settings" in the Normal fields, where you will have numbers written, this is the scale that we want to change :) Change as you wish. Do not forget to check the box for "SCS's Europe map UI corrections" after setting up.

6. Save the map using the button with the disk "Save Map". Wait for saving.

7. In the documents where the mods are stored, in the "mod" folder, another folder will be created as "user_map". You need to go there.

8. Open my modification "Real Time and Odometer.scs" with the 7zip or WinRAR archiver, and in it, delete the "map" folder and copy the entire "map" folder from the "user_map" folder, which is outside the archive.

9. Ready, launch the game through Steam. Not through the shortcut by which you launched this editor.

GOOD LUCK and ENJOY!

1. Ok, so, if you are already familiar with the structure of mods for ETS2, you can skip the first step, although you can use my modification as a basis :)

2. Approximately along this "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64" path you need to find "eurotrucks2.exe", and for convenience copy it to the desktop.

3. Then in the properties specify "-edit europe" where the path to launch is written, immediately after the quotes. That is, you should get something like this ""G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\eurotrucks2.exe" -edit europe" taking into account the name of your disk.

4. Launch the game using this shortcut, however, if you did everything correctly, the map editor should launch instead of the game.

I would like to try yes! I can live without the map, for the time being at least...but I'd very much appreciate if you explain the mysteries of time scale !

@silverchin - Hello! Do you want to do it yourself? Then it is quite easy to explain, but adjusting the map background to the roads requires diligence and time :)

Hi @MAXUNDERSTEER, i was wondering (setting aside map alignment) how easy would it be for me to experiment with more timescales? is it explainable and fairly straight forward? i'm curious to try others like 1:5

@JeSappelleGroot - Hi! Unfortunately I haven't checked this, but here @silverchin wrote about possible compatibility, so I think it's better for you to check it yourself.

Is it compatible with Promods?

Awesome dude! Again thank you so much!

@silverchin - Hi! I fixed the problem... http s://drive.go ogle. com /fi le/d/1kII1YMaDQpm Wo3hhpQp4CW-X-HIbKI3Y/vi ew?usp=s haring

Okay no worries

@silverchin - Looks like I won't be able to fix this error today...

Glad it wasnt me lol, yeah i can wait

@silverchin - It's my fault, I completely forgot about it :) I realized what the problem is and I can fix it, but not today... I'll get to it right after work tomorrow! I hope you can wait?

Man, I dont know what happened, I'm sure i checked the 1:3 and it was fine except time sped up when driving but it was fine if i put 1:3 mod as the highest priority, I then went to edit the GPS colours (like i did for the 1:1) and the world map was messed up, i was tinkering here and there and eventually gave up and re-downloaded to start from scratch, whatever i did the world map was messed up, so i made an empty profile with no mods, the 1:1 works fine, background map is all good but the 1:3's map is messed up, thats the untouched redownloaded version with no other mods...i just dont get it.

Cooool !! thank you so much!

@silverchin - Hi! Here's the 1:3 version: htt ps://dri ve.go ogle.co m/file/d/1B2dc ZoSY8AOqwEPDP oGwQZysF14822JU/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for letting me know :) btw i discovered a few broken roads on the non promodns maps so maybe its best used with the vanilla map, i'd still love a 1:3 vanilla map mod tho!

@silverchin - Hello! Looks like you'll have to wait again, I'm also busy today :)

Awesome dude! absolutely i'll wait

@silverchin - There is no difficulty, but today I am busy :( Can you wait until tomorrow?

How easy would it be to do a 1:3 time scale? I'm using other maps instead of promods and they all work! 1:1 time is better than scs speed but 1:3 would be my Goldilocks zone

Just promods yeah, its a shame but I can live without it i guess

@silverchin - But is it only related to ProMods? I haven't noticed anything like that in mine...

It turns out things arent quite what i thought lol
when you're stationary in the truck, time goes at 1:3 but when you start driving time flies at the usual SCS speed arrrgh

I didn't think that this mod would still be relevant for some people :)

@silverchin - I am very happy for you!

A very happy accident !

@silverchin - Do you think this happened by accident and perfect? Well, I'm also happy with the result, the main thing is that the game brings pleasure. I wish you a successful journey with your slightly fast-moving sun :D

Interestingly, with Dowl's ProMods High Quality Background Map/Afroeurasia the time scale becomes 1:3 meaning 1 minute lasts 20 seconds, without them its 1:1 scale
I actually prefer 1:3 so basically you've made the game even better!
Many thanks dude!

@silverchin - Oh, great! Then, if there are no more problems, I wish you enjoy the game! :D

Hang fire!
Dowl's ProMods High Quality Background Map + scale hack disable is working as long as they're given highest priority :)

@silverchin - If I were you, I wouldn't bother at all :)

But if it's really important to you, like I said, I can look at it and try to do something, but I can't promise you :D

The world map is messed up with Promods, i'd rather keep promods if possible yes, do you mean a link to promods website? Its promods .net
I was using Dowl's ProMods Complete Afroeurasia Background Map but i'll try his other one ProMods High Quality Background Map, really appreciate your mod/work btw

@silverchin - Is this a visual problem only? Give me a link to ProMods, later when I have time (not today) I’ll look at what’s there and how... But if you decide to give up ProMods, let me know.

unfortunately i get this with promods h ttps: //pos timg.c c/d7fpwd7n
maybe its time to ditch my map mods..

Awesome work dude! now to see if it works with promods etc !

@silverchin - BINGO! I managed to fix it the old way, I'll upload it to Google Drive soon.

I'll wait dont worry !

@silverchin - I almost managed to fix it, wait a little longer :)

@silverchin - Ok, when I have time, I’ll take a look, but for now I’ll fix it using the old method. Thank you!

I asked map expert Dowl if it was possible to make a 1:1 time scale map and he said yes, look up "DOWL's Universal Map Editor Background" on trucky mods, i have no modding skill but you might find it useful.

@silverchin - It turns out I misunderstood you, I have the same problem... Ok, I'll try to fix it now.

@silverchin - I can, wait...

Just tried version 1.43.1.2s, the map is still the same as before, can you post a screenshot of how its supposed to look?
I use a 1:1 time scale mod from truckymods but it messes up the map also, i was hoping yours would fix it..

@silverchin - Ok :) It's your right, the main thing is that the modification works, but if you are annoyed by the incorrect display of the background on the map, I can try to fix it.

The time scale is 1:1, i'm using 1.51 because i dont care about the driving academy and I cant be bothered waiting for mods to update to 1.52 , i'll upgrade when 1.53 comes out

@silverchin - But does the main part of the modification work for you?

@silverchin - Why are you using an old version of the game? Also try downloading the one for version 1.43.1.2s.

Same thing with new profile and no other mods, 1.51 doenst seem to work.

I had no other mods activated, will try new profile tho
