mit diversen TPF-Mods bzw Einstellungen in der Settings.lua sind schon jetzt stark bewaldete Landschaften möglich, das war in TF nicht so möglich, also wird das obsolet.
Heightmaps mit Fjorden gab es glaub ich in TF schon, die könnte man ja übernehmen.
eigene Nordic-Gebäude gab es afaik nie wirklich, es existierten zwar Pläne, hat aber soweit ich weiß nie wer gemacht. Korrigiert mich, wenn ich da falsch liege.
Dito bei Bahnhöfen, oder Tram Haltestellen.
Infrastruktur? Glaub es gab eine eigene Brücke, wenn ich mich nicht irre. Eigene Signale. Bahnübergänge.
dh unterm Strich bleiben großteilig eh nur die Fahrzeuge übrig?
Und fairerweise muss ich auch mal anmerken, dass das DLC wohl aufgrund persönlicher Vorlieben eher dänisch angehaucht war. Aus Schweden/Norwegen gab es recht wenig....
was für TPF noch komplett fehlt, sind Schiffe, Flugzeuge. Speziell in Schweden und Norwegen sind ja zB Inlandsflüge doch auch ein unverzichtbarer Teil des Verkehrs, mit dem Zug ist man ja zB von Stockholm nach Kiruna 15 Stunden unterwegs - die Zeit haben nicht alle...

As I have understood it there will not be any release in the near future of a Nordic DLC, partly due to lack of modders.
I do remember the Nordic DLC in Train Fever didn't contain much vehicles in the beginning, but over the releases of new versions more vehicles were added from interested modders.
As You can see from my pictures in the gallery there are several Swedish vehicles available, most of them made by AntonTorstensson who modded most of the Swedish trains in the DLC.
Unfortunately he didn't release everything he made since he wanted to make his own pack if I understood him right.
He has a great number of Swedish vehicles that are playable in Train Fever but never released and hence should be able to be converted for TpF if he is interested.
Unfortunately I haven't heard of him for a long time, so I suppose he is preoccupied with other things now.
Still I believe it could be worth asking him if he might be interested in contributing with his TF vehicles to start with.
As for planes Sweden and the other Nordic countries aren't very different from the rest of the world, it is basically the same aircraft types that are used here as in the rest of Europe.
This means that it is "just" a matter of repaints of existing models.
Boeing 727, 737, 757 and 767, DHC Dash 8, Douglas MD-11, Fokker 70 and BAE 146/ARJ100 already exist as models for TpF but in other liveries (the A320 has already been released in SAS livery).
The DC-3, DC-4, DC-6 and Electra has also been used widely, primarily by SAS and possibly also by Finnair.
Fokker 70 was never used, but its predecessor F28 were widely used on domestic routes in Sweden by Linjeflyg and the longer version F100 were used by Transwede, primarily on domestic routes.
Modern buses are generally also rather generic, repaints are optional in my opinion.
Older buses might need somewhat more modding though as they were usually built specifically for each country although there has been some cooperation, mainly between Sweden and Finland.
Ships however is a completely different matter as they are usually built specifically for their task and therefore differs greatly between the countries.
In the Nordic region river ships are rarely seen since the waterways are usually open and therefore requires bigger ships.
Buildings and stops in Nordic style would of course be nice, but i don't see any need to include those from the beginning.
Bridges and depots could also be added at a later stage.
What I really feel is lacking in TpF is Nordic vehicles, so that would be nice to start with.
I realize that this a very big project so I don't see any point in rushing the modders although it seems alarming that according to Yoshi some of the modders that were involved in the project has left this community.
It might be wise to lower the bar so to speak and aim at releasing vehicles separately as they are finished and then concentrate on buildings and infrastructure as a complete DLC later on, but this is just my personal oppinion.
One has to be aware that the people who are doing this are doing it of their own free will in their spare time without any pay, so I wish to express my gratitude and admiration for them and look forward to seeing the results at some point in the future.
