Altai Map v1.7.2 1.60

Altai Map v1.7.2 is a map mod designed for Euro Truck Simulator 2 versions 1.7 and 1.60. It expands the in-game world by adding new locations and roads, including recent additions like the village of Kornilovo and part of the Kemerovo bypass. This kind of mod generally comes as one or more .scs files that alter or extend the base game’s geography to provide fresh driving experiences.

Map mods like Altai typically reshape the game's environment by introducing new cities, towns, and road networks that are not found in the official content. Players can explore these new areas, making long hauls more diverse and interesting beyond standard routes. With this update, some minor optimizations have also been made to improve performance in certain sections of the map.

When using a map mod such as Altai, it’s essential to pay attention to load order because these mods can conflict with each other or with base map DLCs. Often, players need to start a new profile or ensure compatibility with required expansions for everything to work smoothly. Being mindful of which maps are active and their placement in the mod manager helps avoid issues during gameplay.

This particular version supports ETS2 1.60 but is also compatible back to version 1.7, making it suitable for those who haven’t updated yet or prefer a slightly older setup. It fits well within a modded environment where players add multiple map extensions for an expanded trucking universe focused on regions like Russia and surrounding areas.

Truckers looking for additional Russian landscapes will find this mod adds useful depth by connecting small villages and adding bypasses that can change route planning significantly. If you enjoy exploring off-the-beaten-path locations or want more variety in your journeys through Eastern Europe, this is worth considering as part of your map collection.
