    Hi guys and welcome to my biggest beamng project the Better Italy map wich is the Italy map but improved.
    This is still a WIP so don't expect to much for the moment.

    v0.50 changelog :
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_31_20238_10_59AM.png
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_31_20238_12_00AM.png
    Added a new area of downtown Norte wich some big skyscrapers

    Modified the graphics and the clouds
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_27_20233_51_06PM.png

    More realistic road signs and road markings :
    Change the speed limits on the highway to fit with italian standards : 90 in the tunnel, 80 on the bridges and 100 everywhere else
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_31_20238_13_27AM.png
    Also changed the road markings to some EU standard ones near the portino
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_31_20238_14_00AM.png

    Added a new crawling area called the "crawl strip"
    BeamNGdrive-0271014652-RELEASE-x641_31_20238_12_36AM.png

    Fixed the floathing fences and benches (also removed a hole near the industrial port)

    I didn't modify the places of Lucera, Citta Vecchia, Conca Azurra since there are lovely places and I don't wanna remove the italian charm to them.

    Realistic? I hate to tell it to you, but skyscrapers on an Italian island are not realistic at all ...

    There are skyscrapers in some Italian cities (Turin, Milan and Napoli for example)

    Are these stones a dried-up river bed?

    I like the idea but sky scrapers in a small town just looks silly. The placement doesn't look natural or realistic. Maybe halfing the size of them and reducing the amount might help with it

    Let me ask you a simple question: where, geographically, is Italy located? And where the west coast of USA? Is an island a city? Are there any skyscrapers on Elba or Capri? If you want to make it realistic, you could build some mega-hotels along the beaches .... ;)

    my point still stands. The theme of each map it completely different. Belasco is a dense American city and the Italy map is a small Mediterranean island.

    I'm not discrediting your work, just saying its best to look at real life Mediterranean island towns then that way your improvements will look more natural and "immersive" :D

    i dont mean to be an asshole but last time i checked 20 story high rises arent really a thing in relatively rural countrysides or islands, let alone "skyscrapers" that are just stretched normal building assets
    calling this a "better italy" is just a tad generous and if the cynic in me were to have a say, borderline misleading.
    if you manage to make some seriously significant improvements or additions, then it's more fitting of that title.

    Honestly, it should be renamed, the best roads in Italy, because these sprawling the houses rob the city of its Italian charm
    --- Post updated -

    Race track and the railway are better than these "skyscrapers"

    --- Post updated ---
    The "realistic" was meant to be for the road signs and markings
