About this mod
The stock roads in ETS2 look flat and smeared up close. DBM Road Textures replaces them with surfaces made from real photographed asphalt, so you can see the stones, the grain and small joints in the tarmac from the cab. Kerbs get real concrete texture, and city pavements in Germany, the Baltics, the Balkans, Iberia, Italy and Scandinavia are redone with real paving.
Roads that had no surface detail now reflect your headlights at night, tarmac, gravel and dirt each reflect light differently, and car parks and yards no longer turn black in the distance. It's by the same author as DBM Water, built for 1.61, and it's a big download of about 5 GB.
Features
- Real photo-scanned asphalt on every road, not upscaled
- Concrete texture on all 41 kerb types
- New city pavements for six regions
- Headlights now light up the road surface at night
- Separate ProMods companion mod for ProMods roads
