    Still feels a little empty but it's just small, i'll accept it. I might add some more roads here but this is what i have at the moment.

    I can't do a hotfix since it'll ruin my updated one a bit.

    I haven't worked much at all on it. Funny how you say that when i literally looked at the map in some weeks after i last stopped giving it some things.

    Unfortunately that's the limits of the game itself. They did however fix the camera shake in 0.34 if i remember it still.

    Also, there might be another reason for a thousandth delay. Every major BeamNG update just loves to break the map in some weird way because it brings some changes to some things. This time, the map doesn't work at all. Not the map itself, but the map where you can see the locations for missions and quick travel to some spawn points. This time i have absolutely no clue what's causing it. Each time it happens the console gives random errors. Some were "Not Found 404" type of errors and some were "Unable to find (insert the gibberish)"

    It is working fine for me. Also, since this map is great for using airplane and helicopter mods, could you please add more airports to major locations and helipads to small ones? I think there should be a small airstrip in New Ashley and certainly in the middle of the map village (I can't remember the name off the top of my head) as well as an airfield for tourists in the green oasis area.

    Yes, every very large map does and it is due to a game engine limitation that is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

    They could but i'm not sure that'll ever be easy, considering the game uses a customized Torque3D engine, which is a 2013 game engine using the engine from a 2001 game. They did however fix the camera shake though, which is good.

    I can't really do it as a separate mod. Because... it'll be a little odd. I do however plan to make multiple versions of the license plate but in a sort of a extras mod pack of some kind.

    Anyways, this is what you should expect in the new update. I kinda feel i add too much so i will polish the map a bit more and then try to at least put it on repo.
