    Awww.... I really wanted working street lights and light poles. Without that the city feels like it’s in the middle of a blackout. It doesn’t feel immersive.

    No, nothing to do with your work :) Just a thing i noticed that the devs have done different on the WCUSA map.

    well alrighty then! :D
    --- Post updated ---
    as did i, but alas BeamNG could not handle a few of the lamps without FPS drops, and that was only about two blocks, so to finish the whole city with accurate lighting would ruin FPS... :(
    --- Post updated ---
    PROGRESS REPORT TIME!:D


    Soo.... what to talk about.... :p
    Ah yes, what i've been working on recently! Well, here's a small verbal preview, and i hope to have the map released sometime this week! (i wont release it until i fully believe that i have created enough improvements and additions to justify it's title as a full mod :) )

    Progress & Updates:
    • PoorPeopleButTheyCanAffordSolarPannelsButNotPavedRoadsForSomeReason Town is now finished! (Small Blaine-County esque town)
    • WhitePrivilegeLand is now open for business! (Gated Community)
    • A small rockcrawling course has been added, it goes from some road whose name i have promptly forgot up to the top of one of the smaller mountainous structures, It is a HARD trail, you WILL NEED LOCKING DIFFS AND LOW RANGE to complete it, and there is a certain line through it i used to finish it. IT IS POSSIBLE! *i used the Garvil Hopper mod's Offroad Custom config, seen on community screenshots, to complete it with no damage.* Low Tire Pressure IS RECOMMENDED!, the rocks can and will snag your tires and pop them! i cannot fix this.
    • Uhh.... that's about it so far?...



    If i can find space i plan on adding a small desert runway, and more trails.

    I WILL TAKE SUGGESTIONS, SUGGEST AWAY! :D



    Oh, one more IMPORTANT THING:

    I am looking for a few people to join my 'Team', here is my criteria if you are interested:
    - A 3D modeler, you don't need to be too good, simple structures and obects is all :p
    - A texture-er to texture the 3D Modeler's Models
    - THE TEXTURE-ER SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE GLOWMAPS, i have plans!

    Contact me either in this thread or in a PM to apply! :p

    Is the “whole city” just the city part or the whole map? Because if it’s the city, then I would recommend having some of the lights turn on instead of all of them until WCUSA is fully optimized.

    just the city part, and i suppose i could do that, but that will have to wait a little bit as it is quite tedious -and boring- work to do that with every single lamp haha

    I can do some 3D models depending on what you need!
    Not textures yet. I am not good at UV mapping, unless its just one of those things that has a simple metal texture or something. IDK
    Also I swear if you don't fix the grass sticking though the driveways i'm just gonna like die XD

    So basically you are making WCUSA better by making brighter sun and redoing the whole part that is not city. I like it!

    Also, can you maybe add some customs shops like Los Santos customs? I know there are some older maps that had working proximity based garage doors if you could do that it would be amazing, but I know it would be hard.

    I could help, send me a picture in DM of what you need and I'll try to make it, don't have too much time because finals soon.

    Note, I didn't make new textures for this building, I reused BeamNG textures

    So I hate to ask the pesky question.................................but I have to as this mod is too good to not know the release date for.
    When do you plan on letting us see this beautiful thing that you have created via a download link?
    Tried to spice up "the question" because "When is the release date?" is too boring to me. My apologies if I failed miserably.

    Are there are any plans for a few redesigned buildings to be alike to San Francisco or Los Angeles?

    Examples:

    (LA)

    (SF)

    I have no experience modding but for me if you go into your beamng folder in documents somewhere (I forget where I had this issue a while ago when I accidentally saved a map with like 10 cars on it because I'm smart) there is a folder for the saved map if you delete it it undoes all the changes you have made but keeps the base map (do not quote me on this I'm not an expert lol) hopefully that helps idk if it will for a mod but who knows?

    I love that you've already added a rock crawling trail. I'd really like if you added a few more! WCUSA would be perfect with a few trails, such as an intermediate difficulty one for mildly modified vehicles, and a couple of really hard ones that require a bunch of modifications.
    A gas station and auto repair shop near the upscale neighborhood and movie studio would be really cool too. I can't wait for this map!

    Gas station - yep, gotta port one in though... not a clue how to do that!
    auto repair shop - i REALLY want to port the one in the Beamng customization thingy (idk what you call it, gamemode?), but same story above, i have no idea how to do that!
    rock crawling trails;

    i didn't really want to post this, to make it more fun to explore, but i think its fine ;)

    *the fancy neighborhood can be seen in the bottom left, and around the top right i plan on adding an offroad testing area, possibly with a garage of some sort!*

    *possible location badly drawn in snipping tool, bolide for scale*

    I think something big like maybe a shopping mall/shopping area would also be a nice feature.
