G7 1200 Scania ModShop ETS2 v1.0
You’re specifying a very popular and high-quality bus mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2: the Marcopolo Paradiso G7 1200 with a Scania chassis, developed and sold by ModShop.
This is a highly sought-after combination for several reasons:
Marcopolo Paradiso G7 1200: As discussed, this is a staple of Brazilian intercity bus travel, known for its modern design and comfort. The “G7” refers to the seventh generation of Marcopolo’s Paradiso line, and “1200” is a specific model within that generation.
Scania Chassis: Many Marcopolo buses, including the G7 1200, are built on Scania chassis (e.g., Scania K360, K400, K420IB). Scania engines are known for their power and distinct sound, which ModShop strives to replicate accurately in their mods. This combination provides a powerful and responsive driving experience.
ModShop: As a premium mod developer, ModShop is known for creating highly detailed, realistic, and feature-rich bus mods. They often invest in recording real engine sounds and crafting intricate 3D models for both the interior and exterior.
ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2): This mod transforms ETS2 from a truck sim into a bus sim, allowing players to experience driving these iconic Brazilian buses across the virtual European (or modded Brazilian) landscapes.
What to expect from a G7 1200 Scania ModShop ETS2 mod:
Authentic Scania Sounds: A major highlight will be the custom-recorded engine and transmission sounds, specifically designed to mimic the distinct audio characteristics of a real Scania bus engine (like the DC13 engine sound for Scania K series).
Detailed Scania Dashboard and Controls: The interior will be meticulously modeled, often featuring the Scania dashboard layout, gauges, and potentially animated controls.
Realistic Performance: The mod will aim to provide accurate engine power (e.g., 360hp, 400hp, 410hp options) and transmission behavior, reflecting the real-world Scania chassis specifications.
Extensive Customization: You’ll likely find options for:
Different chassis configurations (e.g., 6×2)
Interior variations (seat textures, curtain colors)
Exterior accessories (lights, mirrors, spoilers)
Customizable digital destination signs (letreiros), often through an “APP ModShop Edit” for advanced personalization.
Compatibility with SCS Software’s cabin accessories DLC.
High-Quality Visuals: The 3D model will be high-fidelity, with detailed textures for both the bus body and interior components, including realistic reflections and lighting.
Paid Mod: Like most ModShop products, the G7 1200 Scania is typically a paid mod. This ensures ongoing updates and development support.
Compatibility: ModShop regularly updates its mods for compatibility with the latest ETS2 versions (e.g., working with 1.54.x). Always check the product page for the specific version compatibility.
