Shared Hubs

Shared Hubs help connect the flight sim and ETS2 sides of the Project Carga economy.

Airports are used by pilots and flight sim jobs. Depots are used by ETS2 drivers and road jobs. Sometimes a real cargo airport does not line up neatly with an ETS2 city, so Project Carga can link a nearby depot to that airport.

How They Work

A Shared Hub links one airport with one depot. The linked pair shares one cargo storage pool.

That means drivers can deliver cargo to the depot, pilots can fly cargo in or out of the linked airport, and both sides contribute to the same shared cargo economy.

For shared hubs, the depot is the main storage point for the pair. If you are looking at cargo levels around a linked airport and depot, the depot side is usually the clearest place to understand what the shared hub needs.

Why They Exist

Shared Hubs let Project Carga support realistic cargo airports even when the matching city does not exist in ETS2.

They also avoid forcing duplicate or confusing airport and depot locations into the same place. Instead, a nearby road location can serve the airport in a way that makes sense for both simulators.

Live Map

On the live map, a Shared Hub may appear as two linked pins or as one combined cross-sim hub pin.

Either way, the idea is the same: the airport and depot are connected, and cargo activity from both sides can feed the same local economy.

Example

Stansted Airport may be served by Cambridge Depot.

Truckers deliver to Cambridge, pilots fly from Stansted, and both interact with the same storage pool. This lets the network support Stansted as a realistic cargo airport without needing Stansted to be an ETS2 city.

Frankfurt Airport may also be served by a nearby Frankfurt depot equivalent. Pilots see the airport, drivers see the depot, and both support the same local cargo network.
