I was going to ask this too actually, I was wanting to make a Roblox remake of the game and the raw map would've been a huge asset rather than having to build from scratch with no actual references

This is a port of Fairhaven from Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 made by Criterion Games.

Fairhaven is a 72-square-kilometer map that features business areas, an interstate loop, construction sites, residential and commercial areas, and much more.
This port also features Terminal Velocity Pack DLC map content.

While porting this map I tried to make sure that it would work properly across a variety of hardware from steam deck to the high-end PCs. All objects were ported with their original LODs and optimized for BeamNG.

All materials have been converted and improved to fit better with the BeamNG PBR material system.
All textures were optimized to make sure they work properly on all kinds of hardware and game settings, which allows the map to work properly even on a 3GB VRAM GPU such as GTX 780.

FAQ:
1. Is the road surface slippery?
The road surface may appear more slippery than on other map ports as it's based on an Old Apshalt groundmodel. However, its behavior is not even comparable to wet asphalt. The only changes are sounds and particles from wet asphalt to match the original game.
2. Is there a way to get dry roads?
Currently, it's impossible. I'm planning on implementing a weather system that allows changing road surface on the fly, which will solve the whole discussion about if the road is wet, when the road is wet or what is wet and other existential crisis questions to begin with.
3. How do I install this mod?
After downloading the zip from links above, open game launcher, then press "Manage User Folder". There press "Open in Explorer" button. From there go to the "mods" folder. Copy your downloaded zip there. Mod is now installed.
4. I'm stuck in a crash camera, how to exit it?
If you are stuck in a crash camera, make sure to stop your car for 10 seconds. If it's flipped over you can reset the car, but make sure to wait a few seconds till camera resets to normal.
5. I can't download the mod. Please help.
It's not depending on me sadly. Due to the high demand access is often limited. Try all mirrors, or wait a few hours and try again. I'm trying to provide as many mirrors as possible to spread the load.

I do not provide any support in case you want to modify, unpack, create addons for this mod. If you are doing anything else than downloading and putting this mod in the mods folder you are on your own!

If you like my work support me here!

Could you please release the raw map model itself so it can be used for other projects as well as outside of BeamNG? I've found no record of the map being available anywhere else.
