Beta Nevada Interstate (prequel to So-Cal Interstate) 9.0 c

Simple but effective loop of race track, that is just disguised as a (fairly realistic) highway. I dreamed of making something like this, and this was my first mod, so while a bit rough in spots when it first came out in 2016 (most of which I improved), it's come a long way.
I plan to keep maintaining this map for quite some time, as I enjoy racing around it too - even with just a keyboard for driving. So do know it'll be around a long time.
Glad you enjoy it.

Traffic should work properly on this map currently.
If it DOES NOT function properly or as you wish, please let me know with some screenshots of the area (more is better), showing the issues if any.
If you enjoy this, you will enjoy Los Injurus and Roane County also provided you have enough system RAM (8gb minimum for single vehicle or 1-on-1 chases, 16gb for several AI vehicles). Results and minimum requirements may vary on a case-by-case basis.
ALL my maps should have well-functioning AI, as a general rule.
All maps have discussion threads, so if any issues should arise, please use those, as that's what they're for.

It's like one of those German road races, except I just painted it up to look like a highway. I really enjoyed making this one (and re-making most of it).
Ouerbacker made the terrain originally and it had one little S-shaped road running through it for about 5 miles or so. That was it, aside of some dirt paths. I was toying with the editor one day to make a buckled-slab type jump when we had the big heat wave in 2015 or so... and it just clicked.
So I dropped a highway in on it, and showed him some concept shots (as it was his 'black hills' map originally), and he said I was golden to release it.
So I did... and people liked it, especially being the game in 2016 was mostly devoid of highway maps for anything except 'Matrix Freeway' (which still works btw). If I only knew what can of worms I opened when I started showing screenshots of this map on the forum.
People were rightfully initially skeptical, but there were a number of folks that kept egging me on to keep going. So I did just that, why not?
Turns out combining a highway with a race track is really fun (well, in a video game / simulation it is).
It goes without saying it's a labor of love, and I'm pretty sure it shows.
This map was made when I had a Radeon HD 7850 2GB card, so it SHOULD run on pretty much anything semi-recent today. I won't be updating this one much, as that would raise the system requirements and alienate a lot of the demographic that enjoys this spartan but still immersive map. I do pledge to fix it if it breaks again, though.
I am glad this map brought you (and many others) some good times in what might be a dark hour for mankind - no, wait a minute - it's just a tunnel - we'll survive.
This too, shall pass. Until then, I wish you great health and good times in BeamNG and anything else you do.
--Cheers and Thank-you!

A good bit of optimization went into this - but also true for the game engine. I'd say a year ago it ran a bit worse, but now it is much better. So yes, the spud isn't out for the count yet. She lives to die another day.
Thank-you for the review, enjoy the open highway, that was one of this game's first realistic highways all the way back in 2016.
--Cheers!

Yes I get you 100%. I love this mod. Still have a trouble ticket in with the developers about it. I have tried deleting tons of assets and can't figure out what's stopping this from loading. Also, another person can load it below, he may have fewer mods than you or I, but I am looking into what's causing the instability with the game. When I find out what's causing it, I will post the fix OR a how-to & send you a message. I want to play it too (I love this map), so you're not the only one!
Rest assured, it's being looked into (but I can't do much until the dev's get back on it or there's some type of game update). In the mean-time, try deleting the cache folder for this map which is:
"documents\beamng.drive\cache_15.x.x.x\levels\hiway2"
Remove only this folder.
Move your mods (Except if you wish to add back a vehicle or something that you want to drive in it), to a safe place like a folder on the desktop or something similar, and try loading it then. It may or may not load for you.
Will make effort to see if adding old model cache from old game version will help fix this. I have an old game version here (13.x) that it fires right up in - but this map DOES have OLD assets dating back 3+ years, so who knows.
Will keep you informed. If you get any luck getting it running, let me know in discussion forum for this map or message me directly.

I will look into this more over the coming week. Thanks for letting me know, and enjoy the map.

This was my first map, an almost-complete overhaul of the road network, adding many times more roads, done with permission from the original author of Black Hills. It was too few roads in the original map, to not have more chance to view the scenery, or cruise on a highway to seemingly nowhere in the desert.

Thanks!
This has a little bit of everything as it was my first map. I am glad you enjoyed the diversity this map has to offer.
So-Cal isn't optimized, AT ALL. It's terrible in it's current state - Nevada has been optimized, so it'll run a lot better (and it's also a smaller map slightly).
I am actually going to kill off that So-Cal map in favor of a much better version that's coming out in a few months as a pre-release Beta.

Glad you checked them out!

Awesome, glad you like it. This was my first mapping project, but it had quite a bit of tidying up last year so it should be awesome. It doesn't take nearly as much PC power to run this as does my Roane County map, so you should be in the clear, even if you only have a 750 ti or a Radeon HD 7850 2gb (max settings or close, on the 2nd one).
If you get a little lag with the video, turn off dynamic reflections, or if your processor is the slow part of the PC, turn off shadows or set them to 'player only'. This should help you. Check out So-Cal Interstate (it's a little more laggy) as it's more of the same less the buildings. It's just roads and terrain.
Nevada Interstate was built with permission from Ouerbacker's Black Hills 2015 map - a great but rather empty and under-utilized map.
--Cheers and yes, you're very welcome.
