The Benelux rebuild is now part of the ETS2 1.59 release. It improves one of ETS2's oldest base-map regions without requiring a paid map expansion, bringing Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg closer to the density and detail of newer DLC areas.

What Changed

Expect a broader refresh rather than a small visual pass:

  1. Rebuilt city layouts.
  2. More recognizable landmarks.
  3. Updated motorway corridors.
  4. More detailed industrial areas.
  5. Better regional scenery.
  6. New or refreshed depots.
  7. More distinct terrain, from Belgian hills to Dutch polders and coastal roads.
