EDIT OF MAY 10, 2021: the map is finally available on the official modhub, after a long process on the part of Edomod. It is therefore free from major bugs and above all it is compatible with PS4 and Xbox One consoles! We note in passing that the map has gone from 1,5 GB to 800 MB!
You were expecting it, here it is for download outside of modhub (and therefore PC only). Italia is an FS 19 map which takes you, for the moment, to the northern part of the country. I say for now, because this version stamped "Light" will soon be replaced by a "PRO" version including an extension which should be more representative of the southern part of Italy. Very heavy (Go 1,5 850 MB now), it requires a good hardware configuration and uses Edomod personal models which use a high number of polygons and high resolution textures. The result is there, and Italia is arguably one of the best looking cards today.
Among the really nice elements of the map, we will note:
- Custom triggers, with icons to guide you (a cow if the pen accepts cattle, a straw bale if the place allows them to be unloaded, etc.)
- A REALLY useful rail system: Like Erlengrat, Italia uses trains to deliver goods to different points on the map. In addition, it is a new loco that makes its appearance.
- 4k textures: overall, it is difficult, even when approaching closely, to see the pixels of the textures.
- Highly detailed 3D models: all the elements of the map are new. Edomod delivers us a map and models rich in details.
- Compatibility with major existing mods: Maize Plus Horse Extension, Seasons and Manure System are compatible and strongly recommended to fully enjoy the map. Don't worry with the Seasons mod, the weather is always nice in Italy 🙂
- A card designed to play: The unloading areas are large and the accesses well thought out. Also you can easily maneuver to load / unload in the different areas (BGA, silos, etc.)
- The general atmosphere: The “Italy” spirit is there, especially with the Seasons mod. The trees are well chosen and typical of the region.
- A PRO version to come. Under development, it will bring an extension of the map and especially the cultivation of the vine, for the moment unusable.
