******** Huge US map for PttM *********

Made by: SoccerStudio.

Editor: Embedded PttM Map Editor.

******** Content **********************

This is absolutely new map for PttM. Geographically it takes over whole territory of USA (except Alaska and Honolulu), southern part of Canada and northern part of Mexico. The map contains 64 (sixty four) cities. Each city contains cargo terminals (from 1 as minimum to 3 as maximum). That is due the game limitation – impossible to add more than 129 cargo terminals.

The roads scheme is rebuilt according to new cities. US roads scheme is now much closer to the reality than it was in the base PttM map. The Canadian and Mexican roads are made in free mode and enumerated freely as well.

There are two main general lines. First – I blocked all rest places at all cargo terminals. On my own taste, this is not very good idea to sleep inside cabin while waiting pick up. The better way is to use hotels for waiting. And as well there is one reason more to spend money. Following this line, you will find hotel in each city. As well, you can prepare your truck for the next assignment while you are waiting, so you can find gas station and truck service in each city as well.

Second idea – enforce player to keep eyes opened during whole driving. Some settlements are designed complicate, so you really have to look where are you driving. If you miss proper turn place, you can go somewhere you didn’t have planned initially. As well, the number of Weight Station is increased, so you really have to plan your way in case of overweight. In any case, you cannot go any more from Salt Lake City to Montreal without single turn, as it was possible in the base PttM map.

******** Installation ******************

1. Make a backup copy of your “…\My Documents\18 Wos Pedal to the Metal” folder to avoid fuck up of your previously saved games and your current game modes.

2. Rename file “base.scs” to “base.rar” (this file included to the game initially). Make new folder “…\My Documents\18 Wos Pedal to the Metal”. Extract the content of you “base.rar” into this new folder.

3. Extract files from Map Addon to this folder. Overwrite already existing files if necessary.

4. Install your other addons.

WARNING: Your other addons must not overwrite any files from the map package.

WARNING: If you have previously installed beta version of this map, please, delete “\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal\maxaddons\” folder before installation.

******** Compatibility ******************

This map addon is fully compatible with any trucks, trailers and skins addons. You can install any addons on this map without any problem.

WARNING: Don’t install Pttm textures by Mauser, those textures are already integrated into this map addon!

WARNING: The game world is extended a lot, so whole map was not visible in notebook any more using the standard game settings. So, the notebook configuration file is adjusted to make whole map visible there.

******** Suggestions ********************

As far as this map is really huge, I would suggest to install some addon to increase the number of drivers in the game. Usual 34 standard drivers are nothing for such game world.
