WIP Beta released Barbent's Homerange (Alpha) 0.1a

Enchanting sunday flight
Took the DG100 to have a relaxed flight and view to the well and not so well designed areas. The first map I know, where going by plane makes some sense.
Flight distance: ~20km (tried some thermals)
Flight duration: lost track of time

 

Hey moderators. Could you please move this thread to "Terrains, Levels, Maps" under the title "A Homerange". I didn't expect that I would post more than a few screenshots. Sorry & thanks

 

Building Bridges -^t^^t^-
Most of the bridges I placed till now were vanilla assets cause you don't care much, when you ride across them. However some should be special, some have to be beautiful I thought. So I started to create own ones. Some are combined vanilla elements and then packed as prefabs, some are edits, some are created from scratch with blender. Some are derived from the original road so that even curves and banking continue seamlessly (last pic). This costly type has to be the prefered one for the highway to meander around the big snowy mountain... So let's do it!



Have a nice day

 

Fantastic! I spotted some railway-bridges, too! Will it be fit for Train-traffic?

 

Yes . Somehow I got it into my head that I could also drive trains on the huge map. The big challenge is the very hilly terrain. A flat railway line doesn't work here because I want mainly visual traffic instead of a subway or a route on high stilts. So it only works with precisely tailored curves and lots of gentle climbs and descents... My basic idea how to realize this is to derive Mesh Roads into rails (greetings from Blender). A few short flat sections are already passable, especially the connection to the large logistics center and some parts leading into the desert.

.

 

That´s even more fantastic! I was always looking for ways to get started with trains but never could find a decent map to do so! It´s like the childhood Faller-Trainset I never had!

 

There are some nice train maps in the repo.

 

This will be the nicest though!

 

@Car_Killer Sorry for the ping, Barbent wants this thread moved, and I'm 95% sure your a moderator, sorry if you aren't

 

Man you are doing an amazing jobKeep it Up!

 

What the hell?? This is huge!
I have one question: when relez... No just kidding , but will this be optimised or does it runs badly on lower pc?

 

This map looks amazing! I, too, am wondering if it’ll run well on mid- to low-range PCs.

 

The map looks great! But I am wondering if my 40 FPS at WCUSA PC will be able to handle it.

 

This needs more attention from the community, I already love it

 

Hey to everybody! Thanks for your big interest!

>>> PLEASE DON'T ASK WHEN THIS WILL BE DOWNLOADABLE <<<
It will come to you! I promise! But this is unbelievable plenty of work. I am a single BNG enthusiast not a company. Please be patient!

This will be highly optimized for mid powered PCs cause I want to have as many of you able to dive into this and feel like I feel. There are many infos I already wrote - not only pics - along the project. Feel free to read so that I'm able to concentrate my time to work and not to repeat answers.... thxal

Happy riding yeah!

 

Already love this through the pictures. This map undoubtedly has potential! Keep up with the good work!

 

Oh wow it looks really nice

 

So eastern Europe, mexico or Asia ? ?

 

It can be anything you want
