Seriously though, I’d love to see you work on it more!

 

Would you release this? Looks fantastic!

 

I'm not ready to start a thread yet. But I want to share a map I have been working on for almost 9 months now. It started with several months of me learning, testing, and playing with with the world editor. I made a ton of tracks, roads, jumps, stunts, etc, - I was just having fun modding my favorite game and wasn't intending on releasing a map. After I felt confident in using the world editor and my map was filled up with way too much random stuff; I realized I had made more than enough features to take everything and make it into a large sandbox style map that I would want to share and release for others. I could probably make several purpose built maps on their own, but I really like having everything jam packed into one map. So after I decided that I then spent a couple months condensing, rearranging, and getting rid (or remaking) the unplayable\low quality sections. As well as learning how work with the forest, grass, sky, and terrain paint. At that point, everything was in place. Although most roads and trails were flat\smooth with little to no detail, but I really liked the layout and overall look. Once I had a full\complete terrain and map layout, I shifted into making it look better and adding in the little details, this is the stage I'm at now.

Below area few preview pictures and a list of the currently included and mostly finished features (there are more than what's on the list, although this still gives you a good idea of what's included). Some are 100% complete, but most still need the little details (trees, terrain paint, rocks, bumps, little obstacles, etc) The map is fully playable as is right now, every feature is in place and drivable. I really want to get a majority of the detail work done before I start its own thread and possibly release a beta version. Since this is just a Development Screenshot thread, I'm not looking for any playtesting or suggestions - I just want to give a quick preview of what I have been working on to help keep my motivation up to finish this project.

The preview pictures only show a VERY small portion of this map. They do however show the most complete parts with the detail work done. The last two pictures you can see maybe 6 of the 40+ features in the background (dunes, motocross track, target jumps, drift track, kart arena). The grass in most pictures is outdated. The last picture with the Rock Bouncer has the best representation of the final grass\trees, but it will probably be different when released. The map as a whole is 100% playable, but I would consider it 75% done when you take into account the lack of trees, missing finer details, and one or two major features needing a full rework. I wont be posting any other\new previews until I start its own thread - which I don't have a timeline for. I also don't have a timeline for a release. Enough rambling...

That looks great. I’m in the same boat. I started almost a year ago but I finished perhaps 50 percent. Learning all the things from scratch is fun but very often frustrating as well. If I would have more time for this… good luck with your project!

 

Thanks, and good luck to you as well. Yeah same here; there were definitely some times it got frustrating trying to figure new things out to the point I stopped doing any work on it for weeks and there were plenty of times I didnt have the free time either. But after 0.27 came out I got a huge boost in energy to play this game more and work on my map.

 

Development continues on the FSAE car. The motion platform allows for a comparison on how the in-game vehicle performs VS real-life performance. Plus it's quite fun

 

NOICE!

 

No. Is. No.

 

Very early WIP of working dash panels
(beefy gif)
The force is easily adjustable as well

The second GIF is hilarious

 

Looks pretty good. Ive been trying to do the same thing for a while now. Closest I got was invisible rivers with high velocity or using ENVtriggers to cause a temporary wind gust. There is a "BeamNGBooster" object in the world editor but I was never able to get it work. Obviously dont give any secrets you dont want to, but do you have any info you are willing to share on how you made those?

 

ICE train in progress

 

proper model of the mechanical details of an ICE or based on the jbeam of the US locos we already have?

 

Scratch jbeam (it's simple) and a proper low poly model without interior
(anyone have any train maps?)
OT:
on ebook

 

yes. vanilla skins are Ok

My best bet is using the new forcefield function somehow.
