    Welcome!


    Explore the ETK Center Plus map! But be careful: a recent storm caused some issues! Be aware of fallen trees, wet roads!


    This is an edited, expanded version of the official ETK Test Center map. The map includes more (around 3kms of roads) roads to drive on, and several details such as open castle area with a small parking lot and more props & decals around the map. The plan is to expand this map even more with future updates!


    Moreover, the map has an „after storm” vibe and theme. You will see fallen trees on the side of the road. There are closed roads due to the fallen trees.

    Also, the roads have puddles and wet parts; so be careful when braking!





    HIGHLIGHTS

    *Looped asphalt road (you can go around the whole map)

    *Missions

    *Open castle & its area

    *Improved lighting

    *A main theme of the aftermath of a huge storm

    First pic: Kind of progress-report, made an intersection better.

    Second: a showcase of the parking lot in front of the Castle

    Great little addition to the map. One thing that could really add to the realism would be real German road signs, maybe you can look into it.

    Here is a suggestion, I would like it if the outside roads were more detailed and had less of an odd incline. I also agree with DrunkDriver, signage would be very nice. Otherwise a nice map and the only working German map I know of.

    First, I'm glad you enjoy my work! The "outside" area is basically a backdrop, aka a background mesh, that I put decals on and made a change to make it drivable. Aside from adding more decals, that area cannot be as detailed as the terrain itself.
    --- Post updated ---
    Oh, and speaking of signs...

    Hello guys!

    I just updated the map! You can download it via the original, first link on the first page (as I replaced the file, and did not make a new link). By an accident, I released this update earlier than I wanted, but here's the changelog of this not that small-update! ;)

    Oh, one more note! I'm going to include a second changelog; with the changes from the prevoius version. This might be interesting for those who have already tried out the new town, new mission and such!



    Huge thanks for these guys making these updates possible:

    @PRC0 – Creator of the unique german building model + closed testing

    @OwnTheBanks – Help in development (modelling, assets) + closed testing




    ETK Plus Update (v 0.2)



    *Added a small town with unique asset (a building from the 1600s)

    · Includes:

    Ø Narrow streets

    Ø Unique old german buildings

    Ø Signs and other small details




    *Expanded the road system by using and editing the backdrop mesh (+~1.7 km of road)

    *Added (and improved & expanded further) the driving test park, with small streets with european signs

    *Added a new spawn point: ’Driving Park’

    *Added descriptions for each spaw point

    *Several fixes

    *Added more vegetation


    *Added new mission:

    -Cobra 12 – The Jump


    -Added more buildings and a second park to fill that empty area.
    -Some terrain changes/fixes
    -Added thumbnail for the spawn point 'Town'


    Please enjoy and don't forget to share your thoughts in this thread! ;)

    The terrain needs a lot of improvement, but the town starts to take a shape at least

    I'd love to see some narrow alpine-like roads going through lush forest
