Put it here

 

So, I've been digging around the Italy Progress... (sorry if this has been posted before)

Spoiler: Long post with tons of screenshots...

I started comparing this map:

with other Screenshots. Yes, I know, the map is almost 4 months old, the screens are very WIP and probably lots of things were changed, but it might give us an idea of how the map will look like: (everything on the maps have exclamation marks because it is... well... Speculation)


This part is where the Old Village is planned to be. Interestingly, it seems like the road or the screenshot was inverted.




I've also realized this ruin on the backbroung of this pic. It's probably a placeholder for the Villa or the map was changed, just like the last corners getting to the main road were (probably).


And then there's this place:




Because of the ramp and the direction its heading, the car is probably going North east/west or South east/west, and on the third image, we can see that the road makes (or almost makes) an U. All pictures were released before the map sketch, so I tried to find it there:

Unfortunatelly, the trees have either despawned or drawn over, or this is an even early screen of the map, but judging by the turn, small vegetation, beach and the edge of the map, this could be it.

There's also this place:

Judging that it was together with the second image, it's probably the same place. However, both screens were released at the same day, and the other image looks very unfinished, so it could be a totally different place.


I also tried looking at this to find these locations, or Lisa's graffiti walls, but nothing, they are either on the other side of the map, despawned or were removed.

There are lots of other images like these and some offroad ones that are either impossible or very difficult to find at the moment.

 

We have forza horizon 2 in BeamNG now. Great

 

really looking good!
How about a resort and a beach for tourists on the upper right corner? That would make sence imo

 

Man, I was already really excited for that location, but seeing it visualized on that map ... I might be getting even more hyped up for Italy than West Coast despite WC having an excellent Laguna Seca-esque race track and the climate I'm personally familiar with. We're going to be spoiled for racing and filming options when those two maps release.

 

Wow, thanks for replying. And funny how your "temporary 5 minute jobs" look way nicer than 99% of user maps (no offense to Modders intended). Kind of sad knowing that they're temporary tho...

 

Is it just me or does the southern fort look a bit phallic from above?

 

Please don't start that again.

 

I didn't realize that had been a thing already since I don't tend to follow this thread. Sorry in advance for if it starts something.

 

Italy is starting to look AWESOME. I hope there are some off road trails both easy and difficult

 

Well played.

 

Personally I am really looking forward to the new Italy map. Greece was my favourite map on RoR and its looking like this map may capture some of that and then some some.

 

Man, I wish was old enough to work here, @tdev said there's an open position and if it's in HTML, CSS, or JS programming, I would really feel sad because that's what I'm best in.
Just FYI, their website is ready! http://beamng.gmbh/

Update - It's not in HTML, it's in C++

 

1 month and 4 days since last major update
Maybe BeamNG is going to be updated once two months now?

 

I'm starting to think, which has more progress, West Coast USA, or Italy. I'm looking forward to WCA.

 

I'm hoping that the next update, whether it be 0.8.0.2 or 0.9, will have the Hopper and the D-Series Crew Cab. I think the D-Series Crew Cab is probably going to be a part of the next update, but the Hopper, remains another story.
