Now on the Repository! Support and gain access to the beta at Raceless-RLS | BeamNG Mods | Patreon Pepper Valley Is a standalone map mod of Johnson Valley that includes new and updated areas. The original vision was to create a paved road around the Valley that could be used for trucking. I small portion of the road then stopped working on it for half a year. I recently began exploring my passion for map building and decided to challenge myself with seeing how much I could get done on my vision for Pepper Valley in 1 month. I wanted to see if I could be creative on a deadline. It was an amazing month full of growth and enlightenment. I'm happy with the results and hope you find joy in it as well. I hope to return and update Pepper Valley again, but for now I am off to work on other projects in BeamNG, like the RLS Career Overhaul update: WIP Beta released - RLS Career Overhaul + Custom Championships | BeamNG Please leave your feedback and let me know any bugs you find. I did not test if original missions will still work on Pepper Valley. Trailer: Features: Day / Night Cycle ready with more lights around the map. (excluding the remote areas) New garage area Small Mud bog trail Off-road track with race timer Updated Salt flat area with recorded top speed runs Drag strip with 60 foot, 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile timers Airport Drift area Autocross with timer Paved road around map Discord: https://discord.gg/6Y2BDsesqj If you want to see sneak peaks, give aways, and participate in mod betas join the discord.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m 50/50 on it right now. I want to finish it just to finish it but hoping to get motivation to actually make it something special. Let me know if you have any thoughts on what you would want to see in it!
This is definitely something the online community would appreciate. Theres lots of mixed use maps (OGC, Utah Extra) but nothing comes close to JV for offroading. I have JV running on my server and would love to be able to go from rock crawling to drifting on the same map. Bonus points if you can keep the size under 1gb
haha thanks for the suggestions! I’ll keep that in mind about the file size. I heard there are some techniques for reducing map file sizes. I’ll have to look into them when I get closer to launch.
Made a quick video showing where I'm picking up from. Hope to update on progress once a week. Let me know what you think!
Yes definitely, Johnson Valley needs various cliffside roads, because only a single straight one is boring.
Good afternoon! I find your project really interesting cause I think me too that the Johnson Valley map is a little bit boring. i would like to give you some advice for the map. First of all it will be nice to add a small town,like an "oasi" in the desert, then you could add some barriers onto the mountain road and, last but not least, I would make the intersection in the picture less angular
I I love the thoughtful feedback! An oasis in the desert would be really cool. I’m going to think more on that. I’m not sure I’ll be able to fit it in for the June 30 update but I think I already know exactly where I’ll put it. As for barriers, we did a multiplayer play test of the map last night and after every single person flew off the road we will for sure add some sort of barriers lol. good call on the intersections. I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’ll add some asphalt and round it off a bit. Greatly appreciate the feedback!
Also check out EctorPlays and his video of the multiplayer testing. Thanks Pio, Ginger, Ector, and @N0THATGUY for the help and support!
