Allan's World Background Map 4K - Dark - ETS2

Allan's World Background Map 4K - Dark - ETS2

A detailed dark world background for Euro Truck Simulator 2, with deep navy oceans, slate terrain and silver unexplored roads. Preserves the geography, original islands, detail and balanced zoom levels of the Light edition.

Includes original islands for Grand Utopia, Vanemap and Pj Indo, plus a separate fictional frozen island for the Antarctica map mod. The frozen island does not represent the real Antarctic continent.

FullScreen Maps is an optional companion from GMC Community. If you use it, load it above this background in your mod load order.

Enable only one background map (Light or Dark), and disable the local copy if using the Workshop version. Playable roads are supplied by your map mods; their scale and placement may not match real geography exactly.

Built for the ETS2 1.61 setup. World Map zooms: 100,000 / 50,000 / 15,000 / 5,000.
