    Hi Spencer, can you add a Mediafire link or something? I live in China so I can't access Patreon without a vpn (which I don't have). Thank you.

    This map is amazing! One suggestion tho, is it possible to add a train track that does a loop around the map? It would be nice and honestly, the only thing that is missing.

    Hands down best beam map I have ever play. I just played for about 4 hours straight. The traffic set up is perfect. Everything is perfect. You are a legend in my book for this over the top dev quality work my friend. Thank you so much .

    I love the map its very high quality and i like the vibe, what surprised me its not that laggy, but i do suggest you add more L0Ds because that would improve it a lot

    amazing map, honestly. one of the few complete city maps on the website, albeit it small city. my only gripes are: traffic seems to turn into grazing cows on the highway leaving Brightwood towards the ravine. they just sort of drive off the road and into the desert. my second gripe is the residential area in Brightwood, near the interchange. having those one-way roads between every house just seems like a waste of space.

    Large maps sometimes crash the first time you load them, try again
    --- Post updated ---
    Amazing map but PLEASE ADD LODS, looking at the city from the distance kills my GPU

    im having the same issue. whats weird is the ai because the ai on those dirt paths like to turn on from the highway i go to edit them, edit the file get rid of the decals that are causing the problem but then when i go to reload it it just keeps crashing, every time it jusst about makes it to fully loaded then boom its dead. thats with a edited or the original.

    There are lods, I've lodded it up as much as possible, I really don't know much more I could do without making the lods end up being 2d textures of everything.

    Then idk why it acts as if there were no LODs at all, might be just the density of assets in those areas. Maybe try doing something so at very far distance the objects stop rendering or something, idk
