    Is it possible for someone to make a map where it's just a long, empty stretch of road in the middle of the desert, like in the game from Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors, the minigame famously known as "Desert Bus"?
    Maybe have the possible for it to be either A) Endless or B) 8-Hour drive like in the game

    This is especially a good idea since we have an official bus in the game now.

    I don't think so, since we have levels like endless highway or ssrb

    Have you ever played those maps?

    Even if you went with a bus at 40 or 50 mph, you would find the end of the road in about 20 or 30 mins.

    A map like this shouldn't be too hard. All you'd really need is a sand texture for the ground, a road, a couple of objects to decorate the map with, and make it extend pretty far distances.

    It would basically just be a desert highway.

    The thing about desert bus is that the bus automatically drifts right. So, to replicate that effect, you make the whole map one giant loop with a very slight turn to the left. It would thus make the map "Infinite" and replicate that in-game effect.

    Plus, now that we have a official bus, it could also be replicated with a custom skin from interpretations of the game, or colored silver like on the original game (maybe even modified to look similar to the bus on the game logo).

    Well some people play with Keyboards, so steering would be a little difficult as it is. And maybe it's somewhat possible for there to be a bus configuration where the steering's off.
