Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily: Hubs that shorten distances:

As almost everyone knows in the 1.35 update SCSsoftware will put on the map another European island of the Mediterranean Sea.
The island of Sardinia is a very good novelty in terms of geography and logic.
Before analyzing properly the central triad of Mediterranean islands.

Sícilia
We need to know in a generalization the relief of the islands is predominantly mountainous.

The climate although predominant is Mediterranean, the altitude determines to have micro climates of the temperate to the alpine of altitud.
The islands are disconnected from their countries directly, without access by bridges, submarine tunnels.

This isolationism of modern and direct connectivities makes islands unattractive in real life for economic dynamics

. Although geographically well located.
The most practical example is the island of Sicily, with only 3 km separating the Strait of Messina.
In EURO TRUCK 2 its simulation is perfectly simulated.
As you may have guessed, it is a difficult access to a small town. Then ferry, to access the island.
This type of barrier makes Sicily with infrastructure infrequent compared to other Italian and European regions, continental or island.
Much is discussed between bridge, tunnel through the strait.

The region is very prone to earthquakes, allied to local beliefs and a leftist effort to combat logistical initiatives. Bridge or tunnel would connect the few Sicilian highways to the national system and the speed trains would arrive until Palermo and other great cities.

The island would be attractive to businesses, located between Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Greece and Southern France, Northern Italy.

There would be a shift from the current ferries companies in establishing these new accesses and countries.

A great real flow very intense.
Well, let's go to the island of Sardinia, the most central of all.
It is more isolated Italian island than Sicily, its economy even smaller.
Marked on everything by tourism, Mediterranean agriculture.
Its relief is not luxuriant in valleys and plains like Sicily, although they exist both in the south and north of the island.
This limits much agriculture in crop diversification. Their soils are generally shallow.
Sardinia is relatively well served by airports, ports.
Its ferry ports connect with Italian north to Genoa, connect with Rome in Civitta Vecchia, near Rome.
In addition to Naples and Palermo, alias connections present in ETS 2 1.35.

Sardinia
 Sardinia could have a great economic role if there were a road-rail tunnel similar to Eurotunnel, directly connected with the region where Rome is. Of course, a great system of tunnels in this category that connects Corsica to the mainland, bridge or tunnel with the south of Corsica and then tunnels with "EuroTunnel" connecting railroad with Sicily would also be great.

Today such a system is a utopia, among the utopias. But the Euro tunel was a utopia, today it is part of European life.
A tunnel and bridge between Sardinia and Consega is more likely to be real.

It would be mutually advantageous for France and Italy.
Both islands would gain fluidity to the road flows, mainly turistico in the high season.

Already it would make very attractive the companies to establish themselves in the islands, because the logical bottleneck would be for the accesses to the continent and Sycilia.
But in Euro Truck 2 who has access to the beta already paid
SantaTeresa Gallura, ferry port access to Bonifacio south of Corsica.
We will not see Corsica in this UPDATE 1.35, but in the future.
Let's enjoy it and move to Corsica.

Corsiga
The island is very mountainous much more than the others, its soil seems to be of less fertility of the islands. Its territory is to summarize a large national park. This greatly limits the economy, making everything very bureaucratic to set up a company, mining company, or other companies.
Is it intentional for the French State to limit regional development? Without NO DUE, the environmental flag can hide any ideology. Ecology has great appeal.
Then Corsica has naming of rocks a great local economic activity. Just look at Google Earth. Other important native activities are: Olive oil, honey, grapes, wines, vinegars.
Of course tourism. The island has peculiarities like Corsican flag in almost everything of products for logos of companies. The plates are in French and Corsican.

Much of the plaques in their part in French language is vandalized. Reason: Insular feeling of separating from France. It's a peculiarity. Will we see on ETS2? Hope so. It causes visitor impact, as it is expected to read find signs in French and ends up having to read in Sardinian. Is easy. It would have no impact on the player like the Russian plaques, in the local alphabet Círilic, which for us in the Latin alphabet, is frighteningly INCOMPENSIVE to read.

Corsica is well served by ferries.
Access for: Genoa, Vado Ligure, Livorno, Civitta Vecchia, Nice, Toulon, Marseille, Naples. Of course, Santa Teresa Gallura.

Map:

Legend-Map ferry routes:
Green: Ferries at 1.35.
Red: Ferry uncovered at 1.35 (hidden.no playable)
Yellow: real routes (Possibilities to the game, future)

But what can we expect and demand for ETS2?
- The largest possible number of ferries.
Even with ferries if all the islands were hojeno map, already it would be possible to perceive this centrality mediterranean sea.
There are ferries to Tunisia, Malta .... for example.
But this experience and simulation depends on the mass collective order.

Currently the islands will be accessible only by Palermo and Naples.
What is bad, is limiting, to complement tiresome in many cases for travelers from far away places on the current map like: Scandinavia, Russia, UK.
To brighten it a 3rd ferry would be good, and realistic between Olbia in Sardinia with Civitta Vecchia near Rome, in the Lazio region.
 
But it will be a lot of fun, mountainous stretches of Sardinia, an appetizer for the almost extra-terrestrial landscapes of beautiful Corsican exotics. Corsica will be a gigantic challenge for modelers believe. To make the rocks and vegetation, close to the real will suffer, as well as the map of Norway, very, very complex do it. The more mountains, the more complicated. Holland is "easy", but the scale so far has limited to just putting the major cities, there are many missing. But this is another matter.

Good journeys and caring for the "highway enforcers" can ban them if they help others.

Yes there are, who is in multiplayer not to play and interact, but to ban players for pleasure.

So if you were banished for a foolish reason, you know. So my advice, avoid helping. STRANGE, I agree, but it's reality.
 Could you speak more but, would take a 2nd ban for alerting in detail.
So just do not help, no matter how much it hurts in your heart even if it goes against the logic of multiplayer guild, community, clan). Just help by instructing F7, ENTER, 1.
Outside, there are people with evil, crazy on the roads to ban them.
It's not just troll. There are NOW "social justice vigilant truckers".

Good sunday.
