WIP Beta released A new *CITY* map - LOS INJURUS 2023-12-20

And hello again, sorry for asking again off the topic of the map, could you explain how they make a trigger for flashlights so that they can automatically turn off in the morning and turn on in the evening, I saw this on many custom maps, but never figured it out. The previous answer about road markings helped me a lot, I got a lot further with modeling my map, thanks a lot. I still can't figure out where smart people like you got their information from when they first started modeling in BeamNG. Thank you very much in advance.

 

Nadeox's Crash Junctions map has a script to make street lights shut off the light effect during the daytime and flip it back on at sunset so it stays on over night (repeat, ad-infinium). You need to look at that map, as I will eventually be adding street-lighting in once I get some more optimization into the map (and a bunch of texture changes, improvements for immersion etc), but the street lighting script is not in my map yet. I've not been in a hurry on the matter to add this to THIS map due to the fact with how the game changes constantly and I wanted to do this in the later stages of development, so that I didn't have to do double/triple work fixing it again and again when things change.
However, the game is pretty far along now VS when I started this map, so I'll likely be adding it after I finish another round of optimizations (so that it doesn't hit the FPS so badly). The houses near the starting point arent very optimized as they're my first round of buildings (while I was aware of some limitations of modern game-engines, I wasn't aware of all of the limitation nor all the tips and tricks of the trade on reducing draw calls). The smaller homes need draw calls reduced (and can be by 75~85%) to improve the FPS cushion, which then I can add things like street lights and so-forth (other features too) and not mangle the FPS when they all flick on at dusk & hit all those unoptimized buildings 2x.

I did test the upload speed in worst-case with a 1080p video streaming on this internet (and my niece is on it, of-course), and worst-case is 2.5mb/s (that's MEGABYTES, not megabits) to the backup site. That means a 250mb (tested it with a Doom WAD file, yes, old 1993 Doom) file to test and it took 2~3 minutes. That means 8~12 minutes per GB. Multiply that by 3.5x and maybe a little longer and it's decently under an hour, if not significantly faster. Will test different times of day, too. This is just the first time I had to actually test it.
I will be doing a lot of outside work this week and other busy-work. Lots of dead bushes to be ripped out from the Christmas weekend deep -20F freeze. 32F = 0c for those wondering, if you use that form of measurement (but don't ask what is -20F in Celsius as I've got no clue at the moment). The deep-freeze had a heck of an affect on the rose bushes at our church also (got those cut back already and trimmed decently enough, but there was A LOT of dead wood in them). Pretty much this happened to everyone down here as it doesn't normally ever go below 0 by much, especially not be 20 degrees F.
--That's all for right now though, after I get these outside things straightened out (and fix the roof, AGAIN) I will get back to mapping. You have my apologies for any disappointment this may have caused, but real life must be handled so things like raining inside the house / the roof falling on me doesn't happen, and my grass is over a foot tall / mower acting like it's ready for scrap heap until I go over it again for a few days etc, ARGH!

 

I would definitely like to see a “lightweight” version with lower quality textures and models for people with SteamDecks. Because I tested it (and no surprise), it ran at less than 1 FPS and eventually had to close the game and restart the entire system. But i AM surprised it even loaded in! v0.27 couldn’t even load in this map and hard crashed the entire system

 

Haha, you should make a Los Injurus Lite for people with not-so-great PCs

 

Fear not, this is planned. Not only planned, but it will be implemented 'this year' sometime, so sooner than later.
I would not be able to give a more specific date for that at this time as I'm currently in the process of doing some other stuff in the map (well, will resume doing so, when I get more outside / shop work done as I am sometimes able enough).
Don't feel too badly, I can't even run high detail here. This is pretty much wholly because of Nvidia and it's 8gb planned-obsolescence love affair. That in itself has me a bit peeved (and the current card - EVGA 2070 Super 8GB - that I have now from 12/2019 proved to be obsolete 4~5 months after purchase), to the point I'm not sure if my next card will even be an nVidia card at all. ALL of the AMD cards I bought at similar (or lesser!) price points didn't put me in this predicament, especially not after less than half a year after paying almost 600$ for a 2070.

Currently in the process of repairing the riding mower engine. Not fun! At-least I was able to diagnose what is (well one of the things that) is wrong with it. I will detail more on that when it's running, because who knows what can of worms I've opened this time.
If anyone living in Tennessee feels & hears a big KABOOM (you know, the earth-shattering kaboom for Marvin Martian fans out there), and the screen shakes like a cartoon (complete with pictures and plaster falling off the walls), you'll know I haven't got the mower running yet and/or are recovering in the hospital for a few days. Hopefully it won't be that dramatic nor 'exciting'. Exciting stuff is best left outside the workshop if one knows 'what's good for them', after-all.
No mentioning of the 65535 other things I'm supposed to do or have done already (or quite a while ago). It'll get done eventually, hoping just that I don't need a knee operation before all that comes to pass (not too much different than my retired mother's knee op she just had two weeks ago). The IT-Band (above and to the outside side of the knee in the thigh) keeps trying to tear itself off the knee where the ligament / tendon meets bone, due to a bump on the thigh bone and swollen and irritated tissue does not flex well, exacerbating the problem. Both either option of grinding down the bump on the bone AND re-attaching the tendon are both painful and expensive with a lot of lay-up (recovery) time. Wouldn't stop me from mapping very long (few days to a week?) but I digress, I wouldn't even able to do ANYTHING else. Trying to save it for the winter time if possible, as I do quite enjoy being outside when I am healthy enough to enjoy it. Oops. Making another long post again...

Doing a lot of research here and trying to figure out exactly what type of GPU to buy. I want to get a professional model so it works bug-free with modeling software (as much as possible anyway) but the cost is pretty much out of this world. You do get more VRAM though. Still not decided on AMD cards or nGreedia nVidia cards as I said above. Will figure something out before the next few weeks though. Certainly not going to tolerate a drum-fan card though, which is sadly way too loud to spend long nights working adjacent to. I got sick of those things 12+ years ago, it's downright maddening if the house is otherwise quiet. AMD cards on the professional side offer 6x mini display-ports enabling a six-head (six screen) setup. Not sure I'll ever need that, but the nVidia professional offerings only do four-head solutions (usually with 3x display ports + 1 HDMI or on some models even a DVI). Considering what the cards cost, seeing the nVidia offering only have 4 video outs VS 6... that's a value-add on the AMD side.
Driver bugs are a wash, as AMD has long since fixed the glaring issues that brought the rep of their driver down, and nVidia often has plenty of bugs even on the stable / creator driver package (can't even see my text-box cursor in Maya! Plus nVidia breaks my Windows 3.11 Dos-box virtual machine for some stupid reason - but where's mah SIM TOWER man!?).
So while I am clueless right now, hopefully I won't be in a few weeks. It'll sure help me perfect models when I can quick throw it in-game and see where I need to fix stuff or optimize, no-longer having to close out either the game engine or the modeling software or suffer with <12fps in-game due to running out of VRAM (which happens anyways in game often even on medium while in the map editor). With modeling things for the game, the more large screens you can stuff onto the desk/wall in-front of you, the quicker and more accurately you can model and texture. Having multiple viewports open on a model (such as a house or tower) means you can see how things look and catch errors better/faster than having to constantly move the camera everywhere all the time. Sometimes I think I spend more time moving the camera than I do actually building the model, but that's just perspective. Used screens are dirt cheap if you don't go 4k (and I don't necessarily but on the UV/texture viewer it's nice to have).
Sad part is literally NOTHING else I run wants over 8GB of VRAM except when modeling and/or running BeamNG, as I have no other new 3D games (exception: Oldschool style games that don't need much as they run on source ports of 90's Doom or Duke3D engines, or the 2D games that are all the retro rage or even stuff like Rimworld / Dwarf Fortress). I'd be able to keep this card many years yet, if I didn't need the extra texture/model space when modeling things or doing scene/world design.
So, if you're wondering what I've been up to lately besides seemingly always being physically broken in multiple ways, that is what.
I do highly thank those for support on this project, as it enables me to purchase the hardware and assets that I need to make this project work (and keep it alive if something goes belly-up, which does happen and has already a few times, backups FTW), and keep working on Los Injurus month after month.
So yeah, sorry for the endless novel of a post here, but that's just a raw dump of a lot (but not all) of the stuff in my mind and what I've been up to lately. Only sorry I couldn't word it better otherwise.
Do know that the project continues, I just don't have much raw progress to show at the moment.

Did another internet test a bit ago, testing a (Doom WAD file) bit to see how fast it'd go. I was amazed, actually, even if this thing is capable of being at-least 10x faster. Night and day difference vs my old internet. Wiring my house with some form of Gigabit LAN will be a complete PITA though. Thankfully the dungeons full of centipedes/spiders/webs/other crawly stuff (read: crawl space) net a lot of experience points at-least. Will make it worth it to overcome the limits of my 4$ bargain-basement wireless dongle devices.
At this rate uploading the map would take about 10~20 minutes at most, which is better than ALMOST THIRTY HOURS time I had before... for half the cost now!
Now I sit patiently awaiting the grand-piano shaped shadow to grow around me, along with the signature sound of something heavy falling very fast...
Worry not, I have a tiny umbrella to save me from it. I learned that trick from an old cartoon.
--That is all for right now.
P.S. It is not too late to report bugs with Los Injurus however, so let me know if you find any more show-stoppers not already reported / listed on the last two or maybe three pages.

 

Great

 

That aged well... *cough* Cyberpunk! *cough*

Anyway, can i run this on high detail with one car?

Specs:

1. 32GB RAM (64GB Pagefile)
2. CPU: Intel Core i7-8700
3. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
   1. Dedicated Memory: 8GB
   2. Shared Memory: 16GB
4. OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

 

Surprised with such a swift response, and the response I got too. I'm glad to hear that it will be implemented so soon. It's a huge map, so it's not great on PCs and mid-end laptops. Only reason I mentioned was because I used to play BeamNG on an HP laptop, lmao.
That's super good though, thanks!

 

Hate both amd and nvidia, so I hope there's a worthy competitor in at least the next 5 years. Tired of these two red/green asshats dominating this realm.

 

Only bad thing about NVIDIA is no mods and 1 free hour each time. Other than that it's good for people with potatoes.

 

many bad things with nvidia to just mention unimportant one
you saw how they bahaved themselves with mining gpu's and other stuff
all they care is money and they dont care to show it

 

Yes, I would have pulled the stops out and bought a 3090 (even a used one!), but I really am not thrilled about buying from them with what they're doing. While AMD isn't exactly guilt-free here, you can score a 16gb card for 500$ USD vs 1000$ USD for the nvidia 16gb model, and 24gb AMD cards at 1000$ vs 1500~2300$ for nVidia (prices new, US dollar currency, avg price at this time). While the nVidia cards are sometimes faster (in this case, they are), is it worth about double the price??? It might be with the 4090 in some cases, especially if you MUST have ray tracing and 4k, but outside of that (and especially my use-case), not usually.
After how quick the nVidia card I have now went obsolete for 572$ (in FOUR MONTHS if you missed it!), I really am not fancied much at getting another one. Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me!
--- Post updated ---

You'll be fine to run it on medium. I have a 2070 Super 8gb and it does it just fine on medium. You can use many cars with that CPU.
High might be slow as it'll want 10~12gb of video memory (VRAM).

 

nvidia gpus may be a bit more expensive but from my experience of a radeon gpu for 3 years or so the drivers are horrific, quality control isnt good and beam runs so poorly when not using vulkan mode (which is very unstable still) that i dont think ill ever buy another amd gpu despite them being theoretically better value

 

What was so bad about the drivers? I'd like to know what GPU also. I had an RX 480 8gb that in Windows 10 kept clocking itself too high, stuttering or crashing the driver out-right (the driver has recovered/restarted message would pop-up). This is with NO overclocking mind you, and only in Windows 10 (the same card on Windows 7 on my old PC was just dandy for years, aside of some shader issue in Fallout 4 that made tutti-fruiti textures after some hours). In Windows 10 it'd act like a defective card.

Well, it's something I'll consider. It can't possibly run any worse than my 11~12fps in the editor on Los Injurus on MEDIUM settings.
EDIT: I don't know anyone else with performance or stutter issues on BeamNG on current "RDNA3, RDNA2" AMD cards that includes 6000 and 7000 series cards (don't know of issues with the popular 5000 series either, except your card maybe?).

 

mine is a 5700xt. ive had multiple issues with the drivers corrupting themselves with updates, and i have two friends with the same card who have experienced even worse experiences (constant bsods and games crashing)
as for performance, despite having a very competent cpu i still experience about 20% less fps than friends i know with 8gb nvidia cards, tho im currently waiting for some more ram to arrive so that may help things
im not saying i speak for every amd card but just sharing my experience with them

 

There is a whole thread, beamng has serious issues on Amd: https://beamng.com/threads/performance-issues-with-amd-gpus.82716/

 

I just bought the 4090 with the fastest I9 two weeks ago. I was a bit drunk and in a pub when I hit the order button. Luckily I can book it on work expenses But it will be bad for map making because I might be the only one who can run the map
--- Post updated ---

But they fixed the hardest performance bugs in the last update I read somewhere.

 

I can't say I blame you, the new i9 and the 7800x3D / 5800x3D chips are some of the fastest per-core speeds (and efficiency on the AMD side) for those who really need it. The 4090 with it's improved ray-tracing and DLS 3.0 gives you another edge, and hopefully some insurance against needing to upgrade for a few years. Hopefully you won't need the fake frame insertion that DLS 3.0 provides.
I couldn't even think about replacing my machine yet, short of running out of VRAM, I am extremely thrilled with it well over 3 years after building it. I did however end up replacing the GPU finally though.

I have taken this into account into which I ended up buying.

In all honesty, it sounds most like the automatic driver updating feature of Windows is more to blame than AMD themselves.
Seriously, most driver issues these days are caused by Windows 10 and 11 updating the video driver by installing the new version over-top of the old. Do this enough times, and you will have mis-match issues and thus hitching, freezing, problems etc. NO ONE should have to go through what you did!
Use Display Driver Updater (which you can get at guru3d dot com downloads and utilities section) and eradicate your old driver, disconnect the internet and reboot. Run again in safe mode if possible otherwise do again in regular mode with the internet still disconnected. Then install the new driver you have already downloaded (you did do that right?) and reboot when prompted. Then re-connect the internet and enjoy and DO TEST IT OUT SOME. Hopefully your machine won't update again before you have a chance to test it out fully...
Use a studio, stable, or game-development versions of a driver VS the frequently-updated beta if and where possible. I ALWAYS use STUDIO drivers here when and where possible for as long as possible, and only update IF there is a problem. Don't fix what isn't broke, lest you (or Microsoft Windows updater) break it anyway. KILL THAT UPDATER!
Or you can be like THE BOB and murder your Windows updater in cold blood the very second you get the system proven stable.
Don't care how much hacking or what else happens, that's what backups are for. You do do your backups, right? Right???!
You are more likely to witness Windows murder itself in spectacular fashion than you are having a hacker do it, provided you aren't someone who delves in pirated software/games and doesn't visit adult websites (hey, who am I to make assumptions, OR judge?).
I keep backups, both in the case and cold (disconnected) backups, and keep a spare image of the OS unmounted (in addition to online stuff!). Well-rounded backups save the day and keep me from losing more than two weeks or so of progress at once. Just thankful I don't have to do it with 3½ or 5¼ disks anymore - that took forever and then some.

OK so with all the input on the GPU purchase decision, and a VERY LARGE donation of 750$ from one very very lovely individual (thank you), I ended up scoring a newly-used like-new Gigabyte 3090 that uses the dual-8-pin connector so I don't even have to change my wiring around in here. I was able to get set here for under 900$ total with tax and everything, which is great! I didn't need the extra speed or heat of the 3090 Ti, nor the extra features or performance - or the PRICE - of the 4090 (though, for those that have them, enjoy it for me). I just needed the VRAM. Why this one though?
I had the choice of:
A 16gb card for much cheaper, up to the price of those 24gb cards below, but 16gb is barely 'catching up' right now and 12gb cards aren't even worth a look, unless you're looking at the RX 6700 12gb for 300$ or so. Considering the project will use up to 16gb when it is complete (I hope!), I wouldn't have anything left over for my modeling software, never-mind the desktop, web browser etc.
Pro cards were absolutely and 100% out of the question. The price is just INSANE. I don't make THAT kind of money here, and even if I did, it'd go to models and assets, not some ridiculously overpriced 3000~6000$ GPU that has extra precision I won't ever use. They do often come with A LOT of VRAM though, especially at the top-end of the price spectrum (32 & 48GB!). Still, I could get A LOT of assets plus the card I got for 3000~6000$. Seriously, that'd be a waste of money unless I really am making a stand-alone game itself and have serious publisher funding behind it. So back to prices...
4090 - 1500~2200$ and very few used but under MSRP cards (I don't need this much video power)
3090 Ti 900$ used (there was ONE under 1000$) to 1300~1700$ new (still too fast, and TOO HOT)
3090 - 719~1200$ used to 1400$ new, there are a lot of these used 3090's on Amazon right now - go get one!
RTX 24GB Turing card (forget the name, 6000 series maybe?), but it was 600$ and offered NO performance bump at all.
AMD RX 7900XTX, new or used, I was looking at at-least 980$ there plus tax (10%), and the possibility of driver bugs, and possible issues with my professional apps that support ray-tracing on nVidia cards (native support which wasn't present until later on AMD cards). RT support is good, though the performance of which I could care less about. DLSS I *DO NOT* care a lick about.
For my gaming needs, it wouldn't matter to me if I use Radeon or Geforce, but for MAKING the game, I'd prefer LESS bugs. I don't know for a fact that in-dev builds of BeamNG Drive might leave me high and dry, especially after the staff 'recommended' me to get a Geforce card for less chance of bugs (as that is what they run on most of their dev and test machines). I can't afford down-time.
Ended up settling for the 800~900$ range with 24gb VRAM and still under factory warranty for another two years at-least.
Can't complain about that. Plus a rather lenient warranty from the company that sold it if anything goes wrong.
I have already stability tested it and it works great, and I can now run my map at full detail and fully see how much VRAM it uses!
Hopefully I won't have to do anything else besides buy more SSD space (always need that) anytime soon.
If it goes belly-up in the next 3~4 years, I'll send it out to have it repaired, considering the price of these things which makes electronics repair a reasonable decision vs replacement.

Sadly, it will be very underused in here short of the VRAM needs of the project. I have two games that even USE ray tracing, that's Quake II RTX and Teardown (which is really fun!). However, when running multi-screen modeling apps and doing graphics/texture work and creation, it's really nice to know that upgrading to 4k screens in the future will be easily supported here without bringing things to a crawl. Plus, of-course, the best part; I can now have the game AND the modeler open at once without breaking the VRAM bank.
Hopefully those concessions/issues can go behind me now.

Many thanks to those who support this project, which while half-way done, has so much more in-store for you.
Outside of the large lump-sum donation, only 133$ of the project money was put towards this purchase.
...oh and yes, I set a temperature / wattage limit here, essentially making sure it doesn't COOK me alive.
I also cleaned the computer while I was at it. Holy smokes was it filthy in there, not even spiders lasted long in there. I was actually surprised it got that filthy but now my chipset fan doesn't kick on anymore (it's not loud per say, but it sounded like one of the background machines in Half-Life, and it started doing that when I was watching a video about The Making of Half Life oddly enough, can't make this rubbish up!).
While I've periodically cleaned the computer; it's been a good bit since I cleaned it that well / thoroughly, so I am sure the computer is even happier about today's events than I am. Have you cleaned your computer lately, especially with summer warmth coming?
Will I one day buy a game that actually makes some decent use of this GPU? Maybe, it's doubtful; but honestly I'd rather make one for you folks to enjoy out of Los Injurus. It's very possible, and I'm sure going to try now that I can leave my modeling open and work in the game at the same time. No more spending hours going back and forth between the modeler and the game to finesse or perfect things over and over (and this map isn't exactly quick at loading either).

The best part of this deal? Now I can put the EVGA 2070 Super in another machine and let my niece play Minecraft RTX when she's behaving. She's going to absolutely LOVE that, as she's a mostly A-student and does deserve it. It's bad enough she had to grow up with her biological dad screaming at her endlessly until we booted his hide outta this house many many years ago, only to see my sister's next boyfriend treat her (and my sister) like complete rubbish and be violent, and then the same thing with the next one until both of them left town (drugs are bad, mmm-kay?) due to having arrest warrants out for them. Sheesh! Poor thing has been through absolute living hell for being as nice and hard working as she is (yes she works on weekends at 14), even still getting mostly A's in school. Being that my mother has been out of commission with the knee operation 2.5 weeks ago (she's getting better now with limited mobility and can walk a bit!), I've been taking her to and from school and handling* family/household needs here for the 3 of us. She has a safe place here though, as I refuse to let anyone else live here, and with my PTSD (and me always turning places into Fort Knox as far as security is concerned) I'm about the best person to live with when you need to be safe (I went through too much to be complacent like some folks who don't even lock doors consistently!). I've already started putting money away years ago for her college fund. I reckon I can pay for at-least half of it by the time she gets to college. She's in the 97th percentile on a national intelligence scale, and as-such, she really must go to college. She stands to gain so much, and I will stop at nothing to ensure she gets there (unlike some OTHER people in this family) prompt and punctual. Sorry for the in-bold 'rant', but it's important, as it is a fundamental part of what I do, and why. Because I CARE. I just wish she loved church as much as I do, but given time, I am sure I can show her the more redeeming qualities of being part of the community. She already saw one of those this past week at one of the car accident scenes I happened upon, where one of the Bread of Life administrators offered a man - who's car was totalled and had no way to get to/from work now - a place to stay (and a ride to and from work) until he can secure a rental or get his car replaced/repaired. This is one of the main places our church donates food and clothing (and money) to, so it feels good to know that this is something that we support here.
The other accident happened yesterday after I bought my family dinner at the BK (because it's Friday, why not, every kid loves Burger King) since it was next to the thrift shop where I could secure her some stuff (she can pick it out) to wear to the 8th-grade version of 'the prom' dance coming up. A nice lady from one of our local retail stores that I go to now and then was hit head-on right behind where I was sitting at the thrift shop parking lot by a large Dodge truck that was DEFINITELY going over the 30mph speed limit, while she turned left at the end of the traffic cycle (light had turned red while she was in the intersection). She was hurt from the impact, but the crash was definitely survivable, but I did make sure she was breathing and not moving too much until the medics got there (and that she shut the car off, too, a lot of people forget and this causes a large amount of fires!).
Seriously folks, if you get into a car wreck, especially the kind you cannot drive away from, shut the engine/ignition all the way off please, no one wants a CAR-B-Q. Ford vehicles from 1990~1992 or so onward will shut off the fuel pump automatically with use of an inertia switch in the trunk or in/near the firewall which can sense decently large impacts - this includes Lincoln/Mercury and some Mazda/Jaguar makes also but not all Jags (though many Mazda models are). Other makes and models feature things like this but not all.
That said, we'll be saying prayers for her and the other folks among the two accidents who's scenes (though thankfully not vehicle) I was a part of. I haven't crashed, just to clarify, but I came upon the 1st one immediately after it happened (a minute at most), and the 2nd one happened as I said above right out front of where I was parked when we went to get the kid some clothes for her 'prom dance' event. Why get involved? It's my duty to RENDER AID and aid in any way possible, and I also know how to be a good medic to stop excessive bleeding, administer CPR, and prevent other unnecessary injury prior to EMT/EMS arrival, to those involved in a motor vehicle wreck (including clearing traffic to facilitate their arrival and keeping traffic queue's from blocking the road for said emergency vehicles' expedient arrival). I don't want to sound like a goody-goody two-shoes; but I'd do the same for any of you folks reading this even if I never saw your face and never knew your name. Do unto others, as it goes. You don't have to be religious to think that way, either; just have some morals is often enough to set one's self heading in the right direction.

I wish you all the best. Keep sending in complaints/bug reports/etc. I will be doing the next Los Injurus update while working sporadically on Roane County (compatibility update only) in the interim of the coming weeks. I still have to finish repairing my mower, and do SOME other outside work, but I am slowly-but-surely gaining ground on things and my house doesn't look so abandoned anymore, too.
Future project money may likely go partly towards better screens than my thrift-shop-special 30$-a-piece 1360x768 screens. Not fancy curved gaming monitors with high refresh rates, just 2k/4k something better than these with hopefully better color spectrum.
Thank-you to all those for your support. Your support makes this project possible. It also helps me to not get romped-stomped and generally mooshed by doctor bills which get racked-up all too easily when you're physically disabled.
--Cheers!
P.S. Donor did not clear me to release their name, but thank-you to the kind soul who made this possible with the sizable contribution for hardware. It would have been until the end of the year until I saved enough to get this otherwise with all the money I need to put into non-computer things right now (house maintenance/repair, car maintenance that I haven't done in forever though oil-changes done always on time, money to sink into repairing the mower engine, things to buy to help the church when needed, things my niece needs, etc etc etc).

 

(Note: I accidently posted this in the reviews... Didn't see the discussion chanel- fear not the one in the reviews I deleted, so yeah...)

I love this map so much, though exploring it I have seen a few things. So I made a wishlist... Don't feel pressure to add these things in; they will probably be low on your work list if at all. But it would be cool.
❤️
1. More variation and a bigger beverly hills. Add more houses (there basically the same ones) and expand it as its rather small. think vinewood from gta 5.

2. there's a large portion of area on the map that isn't finished In the back. If you don't already have plans for that area, I wanted to suggest a bunch of lakehouses on the lake and maybe more residential area, you could also expand a industrial area down there. I think its look nice to put trees on the mountains like west coast. think lake farsoe vibes. file:///C:/Users/beard/OneDrive/Pictures/Screenshots/2023-05-07.png

3. More police stations, by this I basically just mean maybe a highway patrol station and a sheriff station. Nalgones county sheriff. leading to my next one.

4. make another county. Like the Gta 5 map having Blaine and Los Santos. you could make the city and residential a county, and some county side surrounding the area. countryside could be like river highway. (adds to lore I suppose)

5. make it fps-friendly. this one is probably impossible. I have a pretty high end computer and I pull about 50 fps with five cars and high graphics. I don't know anything about modding or coding so I don't know it this is possible. In hindsight you probably would have already done it if you could. (note: saw the thing about you already doing this, thanks!)

6. Finish up the roads. now you're probably already doing this so I'm not even gonna explain, great work on the roads already done, they are super realistic.

7. expand the city area, it would be nice for it to be bigger, again you're probably doing all of these right now.

8. more detail please, another one you're probably doing, the map doesn't have to be ginormous just beautiful, again like lake farsoe.
NO RUSH!!!! these are all some Ideas and suggestions that I wanted to give. Constructive criticism if you will, I'm not a modder and have never made a map so these might be impossible. Again the map is beautiful and we all love you for making it. I know a few of these contradict, I put them in there for variety because I want you to be able to choose suggestions here. last thing, I can't stress enough that these are probably the last thing on your mind but I think they'd be cool, stay safe!!!

 

For some reason I get this error everytime I load up.

BeamNG.drive 0.28.1.0 0xCFFFFFFF STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG

Cant find any info on google and this only happens with this mod. I have tried a clean install as well. I am new to this game so navigating everything is a bit hard for me atm. Thanks for any help, map looks great, hope i can fix this
