    Hello guys, sorry for not making any progress posts of the map, i kinda forgot that i even made this post. Still, since i'm posting stuff, let me tell you what i have done so far with the map.
    1st, i added this object to the map.
    upload_2023-5-24_16-0-33.png
    It's a model of a Pessima, but the one you see here is not really the similar pessima you see in the game, as it doesn't has rear side windows. I added the model just so it'll have some more detail in the map when exploring populated areas of the map.
    2nd, i didn't mentioned it in "What is currently in development, and what will be finished for the release" section of the thread, but this place is about to get finished, i already finished the test road, but not the area with warehouses in it.
    upload_2023-5-24_16-4-0.png
    3rd, what is currently with the places that i planned to make finished for the release? Some plans have changed, and at some point i may re-schedule the areas i wanted to finish for the release to be a part for updates of the map instead. What will go finished into the release? I don't know yet.

    I'm still making the map, and i'm still thinking what to add to the map, and how to make it more interesting to explore in some way. I will probably add some secret objects that you can try find around the map which will explain the story of the map, or do something else, but that's probably for later. Hopefully you know that the map didn't vanished, and it is still in development, it's just my stupid brain forgetting to tell anything. See you all soon.

    I'd like to see that place be a little bit more realistic. I don't think that people would put some random uphill climbs that look like a bridge if there's nothing to cross

    The Uphill thing is for testing cars if they can go up the hill, the road continues though if you go other direction, which is a straight road where you can test brakes on full speed.
    The place is for testing cars so it'll make sense to put that to test cars.

    BeamNG doesn’t run on CryEngine, it runs on such a heavily modified Torque3D, it’s basically it’s own engine now.

    Torque 3D is based on a 2001 engine.

    Just completed the kart track's decorations and i can now say for sure that it is complete. This is how it looks

    Challenging track but it'll take a little time to get used to some corners on the track. Overall, it is fine.

    hope there will be more terrain changes, which will be more interesting for offroad trucks and aircraft

    I wish devs could make individual terrain grids as separate things, not as a whole terrain, because then i could've done that. I still can do it on a upscaled terrain. But still, i'll have to come up with a track, and place where i could do it, but not right now.

    Added a strange place to stop and rest after a long drive on the highway. These broken cars is supposed to be some kind of art for this place.

    Just better hope that your car doesn't become part of the artwork...

    I guess these large maps were technically possible, but nobody has really ever pursued this. Thanks for doing so! :)
    I tested out the Antarctica mod a while back, and holy crap that was large! It's hard to believe this map is a lot bigger than that one. Insanity.
    Personally, I really love when people start experimenting with crazy concepts... so I am very much excited for this map release.
