My initial goal was to improve the original American Road for trucking. This was a private project at first, but I decided to ask the original creator if I could publish it later on, as this project became much bigger than I expected. The download is available on MediaFire, as the file is too large to attach. I also made a mission pack, which is available as a seperate mod (see attachment). Credits: @primo3001 for creating the original and giving me the permission to publish this @Top Tier Studios for letting me use his Fictional Trucking and Service Skin Pack for the trucking missions @HighDef for help with delivery missions @RyanCookie for his Gavril Bandit Remaster I used in one of the AI race missions @RealVector for making the custom license plate @AlexKidd71 for his map shrinking tool, which reduced the file size by 200 MB Me: changing and adding some things on the map and creating the mission pack Changes: added 30+ new spawnpoints and about 25 new POIs: refinery, several fictional companies, solar farm, 2 new sawmills, spawn for every city, service area at central highway, shopping mall, 3 farms, 4 restaurants at places with nice scenery, 4 (somewhat remote) lodges, Sandstorm Performance Motorsport Arena and more working gas stations rebuilt the entire industrial district of the main city added buildings to all three airports fixed AI driving on the wrong side on some highway segments several road and terrain changes fixed most broken textures no PBR materials for now top gear test track still works bus routes: part of the map zip, as they are contained in the levels folder. Access these from freeroam, as they do not work otherwise. Compatible with articulated buses from Wentward Expansion Pack. custom license plate design added lighting and reverb to tunnels support for parked vehicles a few secrets and easter eggs Mission Pack: Note: trucking missions require the Fictional Trucking and Service Skin Pack to work properly 6 AI races, one of them requires the Gavril Bandit Remaster 5 offroad missions 6 time trials, one of them a very long tour of most new content (300 km/191 mi) converted the original AR Tour to now support AI traffic (the layout is unchanged) experimental plane and boat missions 1 evade, 1 drift and 1 collection mission garage to garage deliveries (modern, old and standard vehicle options) 40 trucking missions Known Issues: When loading in West Coast USA directly after American Road or my edited version, one concrete texture doesn't work. It works again after relaunching the game, so it's not a huge problem. AI drives normally in the races in SP Arena. I don't know how to fix that, if it is even possible. If someone is able to fix it, please contact me or leave the fixed version in this thread. Navigation issues with some bus routes AI issues in main city, near Upper District Please report any other bugs you find in this thread Download Link Download version 1.0 Updated sunsky settings for better looks can be found here Do not reupload anywhere!
Wow this was a long time my favorite map, Thanks for the refresch, I hope you can add the pbr in the map, makes it much more realistic,
I already tried that, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I might take a look into that again. Maybe it'll work, maybe not.
I've decided that I won't do PBR for now. I want to make some other map projects first to learn PBR. Once I've done that, I might come back to this. However, there will be an update for this map soon, as I'd still like to add and fix a couple of things.
hmmm, i guess thats bc i dont got a mod you do? but well its sad i cant do the concrete delivery mission
@fihre boy You probably need the T-Series Drivetrain Expansion or Bella's Semi Addon for the mission to work. I'll update the mission pack before I keep working on the map, so that no configs need those two mods. I just checked all trucking missions. They all work without any of the requirements of the Fictional Trucking and Service Skin Pack. Only the skin pack itself is needed. I still made a few minor changes to two missions, so I'll post an updated version.
Hi guys, I finished the 300KM American Road tour, it took 3 hours and 51 minutes and was 308KM long (Measured with the inbuilt mileage counter). I used a slightly modified Cherrier FCV 150d (DCT). The first 30 Minutes were sadly corrupted but heres the rest: Screenshots for proof:
Wow! I honestly thought this was impossible How many tries did it take you? I'll update the mission pack with your measurements soon. Thank you
For what it's worth, the original map has also now just updated, but separately from this. It might be nice to see the two projects merge into one final complete version of American Road with all current updates and content in one, but that's not my decision to make.
It was first try, I will drive the tour again on Friday, which will help making the measurements even more accurate! I'll keep you updated Btw. Very cool refresh, the tour showed everything. There is a minor bug where the checkpoints reverse somewhere by the 510-600 checkpoint mark.
I updated the mission pack with the correct distance of the New Content Tour and also added stars for certain finish times (3:30h for gold). It's available for download at the bottom of the first post. Here's a Progress Update for version 1.1: fixed fps drops near the main city by removing the oak forest expanded and edited the main city added AI support to the refinery bridge (didn't know how to do that when I built it) --- Post updated --- I checked your video and everything seems to be working fine. You just missed a checkpoint at 2:14:47. If you meant something else, you could take a screenshot of the location on Friday, so it's easier to find.
