    Hi everyone,

    My "Car Jump Arena 2025" has already been released and will continue to receive updates and improvements throughout this year.

    I'm also currently working on another map project scheduled for release in September/October 2025 - more on that soon!

    However, this thread is about my next project, which is still in the early planning phase.
    I'd love to get some creative input and suggestions from the community before I commit to a final concept.

    Here are a few rough ideas I've been considering:

    1. Car Jump Arena 3
    2. Miniature-Style Map - inspired by "Hot Wheels" with oversized objects, loops, and toy-like environments
    3. German Countryside - rural scenery with villages, farmland, and narrow roads
    4. Or something totally different?
    A few important notes:
    I’m open to all kinds of ideas - realistic, crazy, technical, or unique
    I will not accept suggestions for real-world locations (e.g., “Can you make my hometown?” or “Please recreate Nürburgring”).
    This project will be 100% fictional, just like my other maps.

    When enough ideas and suggestions have been collected, I will start a poll.
    The suggestion with the most votes will be the winner.

    So - what would you like to see in a future BeamNG map?
    Feel free to share concepts, themes, features, or even sketch ideas.

    Thanks in advance for your input!

    Personally, I would prefer more realistic-style maps, and with your amazing skills you could definitely do something like the German countryside! I think BeamNG is getting more mature, both with its players and the game itself... but that's just my opinion!

    Def. 3! I love Car Jump Arena 2025, but a third one would be too much. As above, with your skills that would be amazing! Also I think something like that hasnt been done before!

    Why not make a mashups of different irl locations? I'm thinking something like Pikes Peak + a Japanese Mountain Pass; a sort of "Japanifornia" idk (cringe I know). a mini-map sounds good too, I've always liked the loops and raised roads of something like Gridmap v1.

    All the three ideas are brilliant. I love the more realistic maps. I’m actually working on a German countryside map at the moment. Mine is situated roughly in
    Rhineland-Palatinate. If you do a German country side map it would be cool if you would take a different place like Bavaria for greater variety. I hope to get my map in a deployable state in the beginning of 2026. Good luck for your project!

    A german countryside sounds great honestly. The BeamNG workshop really is in need of a proper Germany map, in my opinion. Especially now that German Roads by Flightsim got delayed for an unknown time frame. Btw, on a side note, if you are going to do any kind of realistic map, please use decal roads. Because the bumps on the roads of the Car Jump Arena where kind of annoying to drive over. On that map it didn't matter too much because normal roads weren't the focus, but on a realistic map it would be pretty frustrating. In any way, I hope you have fun working on your next project, hauste Rheinland Pfalz wir uns nicht mehr sehen.

    I'm afraid I have to disappoint you a little bit. ;) Since I live in Rhineland-Palatinate, the map will likely be based on that region. That is, if I actually go through with that type of map at all… Everything’s still up in the air! But thanks in advance for your suggestions - keep 'em coming!
