What this mod does

RIW Heart of Africa RC is a connector by Tony_Viborg, the author of Road into Wilderness (RIW). It links that map with Heart of Africa, the West Africa expansion with Gambia and Senegal. This way you can chain both African maps by road in the same profile.

What it does

It adds a connecting road between the two maps. It’s a small mod and the page doesn’t describe the route. It’s mainly useful if you already run both maps together.

Requirements and load order

  • Road into Wilderness and Heart of Africa, downloaded separately.
  • The DLCs those two maps require: according to their Holymod pages, all map DLCs.
  • The author says it has to go above both maps to work.

Versions

  • 2.0 (June 5, 2025): marked for ETS2 1.54; the changelog only says it «fixes something.»
  • 1.0 (June 11, 2024): first version, for 1.50.

It has over 40,000 downloads on TruckyMods. Tony_Viborg also has Road into Wilderness connectors for Beyond and for Horn of Africa. Bugs are reported on the author’s Discord, and the author doesn’t allow reuploading or modifying it.
