Or gymkhana in the 200bx.

I hope that work is being done to the game engine before this map is released.

 

Looks like a fun place to drift around. and throw cars from.

 

This road looks strange. Something isn't right.

 

The more I see pictures of that map the more I get excited for its release.

 

Everytime i look at pics of italy the only thing that goes through my mind is:

 

I wouldnt mind the road, I think it looks amazing.. the only thing I dont like is the huge amount of barriers being used on the full lenght of the road. It prevents me going directly down destroying my car. Personally would place the barriers at the curves only.

 

Deja vu! I have just been to this place before!

 

I'd figure having a slightly angled collision mesh beneath the barriers could allow for a vehicle to go over them at high speed
but still provide a barrier function. The angle would be slight enough to work but hardly noticable visually.
Essentially the same effect as a jersey barrier. Pure speculation from an overworked mind.

 

... if we would get a lot of west coast pics from mitch, like hutch does it with italy...

 

In fact, we haven't seen an update post since January! If this isn't gonna be atleast near completion at the end of the year, I'm killing myself.

not really

 

Looks like Italy will have some nice highways

 

@LJFHutch Are those textured mesh roads for railings or how are you doing it?

They are probably custom made railings made on Blender, just like the one in hr

 

I'm starting to feel Italy is going to come out first, seeing how many more screenshots are being posted.

 

But WCUSA looks far more finished.

 

I believe they are set into the heightmap with a bezier curve function in Blender. The guardrail is probably an independent mesh custom tailored to the road like in Utah.
LJFHutch explains a lot of this in his mini tutorials.

 

Italy it coming out first, I just know it.
--- Post updated ---
There are a lot more pictures for it

 

That doesn't matter, i guess. The maps are made by two different people, one posts a lot of pics, one does not.

 

No way Italy will be finished first. I don't think Italy is even in 50% finished.

 

speculation would be more meaningful if mitch posts some progress on wcu, so we can compare.
