West Colorado (Modified Utah)

Now working, enjoy!

Update available.

West Colorado 1.1
- Display name changed, Name in the game is now "Utah - Mesa"
- Missing textures and mesh added.
- Trails added on several locations
-3 Spawn points added
-4 time trial added
- Some minor tuning (sound, trees, path)

My first map, re done several times as I lost my work often.
Now it is ready.
Based on Utah, I added several path to explore. Mostly designed to be driven with a regular car. A crawler will go through like a sunday walk...

List of the main trails :
Side trail :
Spawn on west freeway then go downhill on the dirt trail. you will find it

High trail :
After the tall arch bridge (going uphill) turn left.

Main trail system : The mine trails
Several path to reach the mine:
- turn right at the T junction after the arch bridge then left
- Going uphill to the visitor center, turn right after the curvy bridge (road sign at the entrance)
- In front of the mesa
- Turn left after the ranger station (uphill)

River Canyon trail :
- Go at the end of the old airstripe and reach the bottom of the canyon

Canyons trails:
- turn right after the mesa cliff.

Mesa access :
- Improved road with fences : easiest way
- "The slide" turn right before the mesa cliff
- "The easy bumps" just aside the slide. easy to climb!
- "End of canyons (both sides)
- Mine ramp

Race Lane : (designed for trophy truck)
- Access 1 : from the "Parking spot"
- Access 2 : from the eastern part of the highway (on the right when looking at the tunnel - a good crawler might be needed)

??? Tunnel ???

Few other trails...

Screeshot below will help you find the trails.

There is also a hidden tunnel. Don't use the editor to find it...
Enjoy
Next version :
- You will probably find some floating rocks. I did manage a lot of them but sadly not all. I need to work on this.
- Add custom road sign that lead to the twin springs and other trails. But today I don't know how to do that.
- Add more details on top of the mesa.
I would like to thank you people that helped me for this creation process.

Boi oh Boi... I was just driving on this map again, enjoying trail after trail. Then I restarted my game in a haste to get back on it and misclicked onto the base game Utah Map... Then I realized that, compared to your creation, the vanilla utah map just seems like a template map, a map for photography or sth like that.

Your map makes Utah feel alive, where other "expansions" make the map seem small (which it is not...) and you have made the map 10x bigger and still 10x more enjoyable. You did not fear to access whole new areas, being just used as landscape before...

This is so great. We can only hope that some day other maps get this treatment, either by another as talented modder or maybe the devs, as this is a masterpiece!

  Thank you so much. Fine tuning the trails with rocks and trees takes hours!

Could be really good but random orange/brown/sepia textures flash across the sky constantly. I can send an image via Discord.

Cool map but there are some odd glitches you might want to look at. There are random flashes from time to time like a brown linear spot will come up at random times for a split second. When that happens the lua is pure red.

I like this 'Utah' map very much, great to see you ad more roads to explore, and the rock climbing opertuneties. when you drive over the wooden bridge 'west side' the river looks weird(texture missing?), and there are floating on several places in het map smal rocks in the air.
When you can fix this, this is one of my favorite maps.

I really don't think this should be a fully released mod yet.
Reasons:
-resembles too much of Utah
-very unfinished
-does not closely resemble Colorado
-uses the same roads as Utah (relates to first reason)
-uses the Utah spawnpoints and previews

However, with time and care taken into the project I have no doubt this could look like it's own fully polished map.

As someone said before, i'd also like forests and a little more vegetation. I live in colorado, and this doesn't give the colorado-feel.

  Some of the new trails are located on a low density forest.

Very nice for a first map, any chance you could make a couple of time trials? Both road courses as well as rally and offroad courses

Great map, I honestly think this was exicuted better than the actual ingame, looks much more like utah, I will agree with Mr. Bot though, it feels kind of un finished, there are also a few bugs ive found. I feel like the river/canyon trail could be improved.
