    It isn't dead!
    gilliys islands is back, but is being reworked, I scraped the old map as I felt it wouldn't really do itself justice, Now using free software I made a 4096x4096 heightmap which I might release a tutorial on how to do later but lets move on to my plans for the map.
    This map will be rally heavy and just like the old map feature some pretty big jumps, I have cut back on the vegetation a lot as I feel there's been very few maps that have done this and I think it look pretty nice, the screenshots are below so you can decide what you think but I am probably gonna stick to this style.
    For the dirt roads I really want to get the banking down to where it isn't a big handy cap but will help keep you on the road, I plan to release a video tomorrow so you can see how well the car I use handles on it.

    I have plans for worn down asphalt roads mainly one running down the main valley of the map which is actually a river running into the large area that opens up which is a lake, I know this because I've seen this place in real life and decided it would be a pretty interesting heightmap with the elevation changes yet smooth drop offs.
    I am taking a break from my big project *which does not have a name still* to work on this project and finishing pine hills.
    Made a video to show off new roads and map.

    Looks fun! I can't wait for this to come out. Do you plan on making it a bunch of small islands or small islands around a larger one or what?

    I plan on have a set of connected islands, There will most likely be a fast set of roads with no stunts jumps etc. and then a route with jumps and such.

    Today I have uploaded the second update which includes, a new ramp, a w.i.p industrial and apartment area and improves a few places, this map will not be up for download until I have more done.
    --- Post updated ---
    I have added onto the apartments and I have added a new island in this update.
    --- Post updated ---
    Today I have finally released a early version of the map.

    The thumbnail looks nice but it just loads an untextured version of gridmap.

    I would like to know what you think I should add, if you have tested the map and saw what was on it I could use some suggestions as to what you think I should add.
