WIP Beta released American Road 1.91

Is there a map for this terrain, as I want to know where I'm going to the different features?

 

Absolutely A W S O M E !!!
I love the mountain crawling. Took me about 6 hours to make it up to the top.

And cant wait for trying it again

 

6 HOURS?! HOW?! It takes ~1h with the Hopper Custom to do it

 

Okay, not REALY six hours. I made it with lunch break, ice-break, my son on my lap and different cars.

 

Chuck 3 suggested a map for this resource, which is exactly what I came here to do. I'm driving aimlessly here. It's fun to drive around, but I have no idea where I'm going without some sort of map. If you could make some kind of illustration on a pdf, that would be wonderful.

 

This map looks really interesting, but unfortunately I am not able to load the map. I have 16 gigs of ram.
I force quit BeamNG after waiting 20+ minutes.

 

Make sure you have nothing else running, and open task manager to make sure. Maybe clear the cache as well. I found that it helps a lot to set the graphics to Lowest, load the map, then reset the graphics to your desired specs.

 

oh shit really, ok i'll try again, thanks

 

Same problem, waited an hour still nothing.

 

Update: I broke out my cartography tools and started sketching a detailed map with road and landmark names. Should be done in a few days. Hopefully everyone can get some use out of this!

Here's a better picture of what I have so far. Eventually I will scan it and upload a PDF to this thread.

 

Nice job, looks awesome. Looking forward to it!

 

Most ambitious project on the forums so far

 

I recently updated from Windows 7 to 10, and I can report it still does not work.
EDIT: I tried again and it works now. I guess windows 7 cant make it work.

 

1GB VRAM, goes to 100% after 3 seconds, then beamng crashes. Gotta increase my virtual memory...

 

Beamng without mods doesn't even work with that.

 

That is like nothing... Even for BeamNG

 

Well, im running a 8+ yr old GPU. The Radeon HD 6850. I'm really wanting to get a 3GB GTX 1060 soon, but I can play GTA 5 and go over the RAM, and it still loads, but beamng just crashes when it reaches the max.

Oh, and BeamNG runs fine on other maps even with 500+ mods. But for loading the map, I disable the others.

 

American Road is different than other maps. I used 8192x8192 terrain heightmap. Tennessee USA Roane County uses 4096x4096, but the map itself has 4 times bigger surface area. That's why a lot of people can't load American Road. It has to much objects like trees, rocks, roads etc too.

Even 3 GB VRam may be not enough. I have 4 GB, and I barely load it.

 

Was there ever a fix for people using Windows 7? Like many others, I exceed the recommended specs and this map will load for an hour without starting.

FX-9590
1060
16GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium

 

It is most likely Windows 7 causing this, I upgraded to windows 10 recently and it now loads for some reason.
Im going to guess Windows 7 is your issue.
