DLC VDL Futura FHD2 and free DLC Rennsteig - Now available

UPDATE 4

Valve has informed us, that the compatibility should now work as intended:
Buy once, get a DLC for both games, no need to own both games.

Please, inform us immediately if this still should NOT be the case.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this has been causing for anybody before.

Today we've released two new DLC for Fernbus Sim:

The free DLC Rennsteig adds a new region to the original map of Fernbus Sim similar to DLC Usedom:
