Schneeberg 1.3

Hey ho, so here's a realistic review:
First of all the map has some good visuals and what i especially love are the german road signs and details like the cateye expansion poles for deep snow visibility, or warning arrows for sharp turns :-) It's cool that you use deep snow physics, but here also lies my first point of criticism...some of the snow banks roadsides are hard as iron...not like frozen, but straight metal instead...and the deep snow is TOO deep according to the visual height of the snow and it has INSANE friction...i tried to drive offroad with a Lada Niva and with a VW T4 Syncro...NO CHANCE...you need to have monster truck sized tires, because as soon the bottom of the car touches the snow, you can't move an inch! Even with a 1400hp/2100Nm stong MonsterTruck and the wheels less than 40% deep into the snow, i wasn't able to shift into 3rd gear without instantly stalling the engine, because of the sticky friction...were talking about 2100Nm torque!!!
(EDIT: I tried with several other mod vehicles and some of them didn't have any sticky friction at all...also some vanilla cars worked on the snow and others didn't...so it depends on the used cars, i guess.)
My next point is, that the general road layout doesn't make ANY sense...it's basicly a lot of twists and turns going nowhere. Serpentines up an hill and down on the other side and back around the hill to where you came from...and without a POI on top of that hill!
My 3rd point is that the general height map could be better. I would suggest to take a REAL WORLD height map and road layout from southern Bavaria or BW and rebuild the map on top of REAL topography and road-layouts, by using google earth/maps.
My last point of criticism are the used building-props...i really love the snow on top of the roofs, but the buildings ALL look the same and nowhere realistic for a germany/austria/swiss-themed map...they are very low detail and and they aren't structured like small towns with roads inbetween. You've spent a lot of time for the road signs, but there are no details at all in the villages, so far.
There are some other small issues, like for example the 2D-png/dds-trees, isntead of ones with more than only 2 crossed layers, but i think most important points have been mentioned.
I'm looking forward to further updates, but you should REALLY consider to completely redo this map. based on real world or at least realstic-ish layouts and height map :-)!

Awesome map!

this is very peak

Very good map

I love the hot air balloons in the sky! and the map too!

Amazing!

actual 10/10

Drifting on the icy roads is quite a fun challenge

Absolutely incredible work!

Best snow map to date - love the building roofs and snow drifts. Well done!

so good!

Love the tire skidding sounds.

ETK Driving Center needs this map (along the Autobahn Loop) for expansion!

luv ur maps <3
I want snow irl soo bad rn

Grille is the king of german map mods

This map with + gavril spec racer combination = Perfect

this will go hard
