    So, time for this to get a thread.

    East Coast USA (or ECA as it's known internally) is a 2x2km terrain based on Maine and other areas on the east coast of the United States. It has a little bit of everything and a huge network of roads.

    Feedback
    We'd like to get your feedback on the map from an art / gameplay / design point of view; things like corners with negative camber, floating trees, areas you feel don't look very nice, annoying sections of road, etc. Feel free to post a pic and a description (maybe tell us where the place is if it's not immediately apparent) and I'll see about improving them :)

    For example:

    Well, I think that some roads up here do have negative cambers because they aren't exactly done with so much landscaping and maintenance afterwards so they tend to get decrepit after a while.

    The road construction is really good imo and I have lots of fun driving it!

    Just an FYI: this thread is for feedback on the design of the map, and minor technical glitches (like a spike in the heightmap, or a road and bridge not lining up), not serious bug reports.

    I love this map! It is very pleasant, the small town gives a bit of life to the game, and all dirt roads are a real joy with the beautiful Sunburst rally! However since the last update, I have the lower my graphics setting (lights) because the fps on many down East cost (40-60 fps ––– 12-50 fps) (especially at the point of emergence when I'm heading towards the city. Otherwise continue like that! you're really doing a great job

    I love this map (it's where I live :) )! The only strange part of the map I find is the "Great Wall of Maine" behind the town. It's pretty strange with the culverts hanging off the sides, too. If only there was a way to make it look more natural. Other then that, I find the map absolutely 100% perfect and it's honestly the best map I've ever seen in a game.

    May just be me, but it seems like the sounds effects are a little loud. ( wind rustling, birds, etc )

    It's the best map so far, and my favorite.

    All I can think of is that it's missing some roadside signs, but that's all.

    Great map, my favorite of all of them. The detail is great too.

    The problem ive noticed is this:

    yVTLhYb.jpg

    Right beside the spawn just at the side of the road, its been there since day one as well. I never mentioned it since i assumed it was a well known bug but its still there so...

    I always thought this part next to the spawn looked kinda unfinished...

    I'm sure you're full aware of this and i'm guessing it's because the town's base is a mesh, and the smoother the road would be, the more Z fighting would occur.

    1] the second bridge makes your car jump up and crash at speeds of 70+ MPH, when coming form left of screenshot.

    2] there is a small bump.

    3] the road center line is too close together.

    The map looks nice but on lower end PCs like mine. It's almost unplayable with 6FPS and lowest everything.
