I thought that a Miami-Esque map with the city, a beach, a swamp-ish area, and an oval track. In order for this to work, I think it would be best if it's about the size of or bigger than the Italy map. The city could be the southeasternmost part of the map and maybe the size of 1 and a half Belasco Cities. The beach wraps around the city. The Track could be maybe just above the city. There are modern suburbs on the city's outskirts. The city contains hotels, office buildings, a supermall, luxury apartment buildings, and regular affordable neighborhoods. There are 4 islands off the coast connected by a bridge. Modern suburban houses are along the lines of this house In case you don't know what Miami looks like, this is what the city would look like. Luxury apts. Hotel Well, that's all I have for now. I'd love to see you guys' thoughts on this idea
Well, first of all this is just a proof of design, so i think we are too early than in the naming phase. But you shouldn't do what WCU does and fill the map too much. Just an urban section with high end hotels, the coast, luxury apts and suburban islands like the pictures you showed would be fine. Then again, lets not get ahead of ourselves. You first either learn how to map or pay for someone to do it. Something similar to this was the outdated australia city map.
I would do it myself but it's almost as if you have to have a life's worth of experience on that stuff in order to do it. However, I do agree with the fact that it should just be the city. I don't get your point about the naming though.
I don't know if I could do it myself. Blender is really difficult to learn and honestly isn't that user-friendly. I would ask for somebody to do it but 1. I know no one would willingly do it without some type of reward 2. I don't want to put that burden on someone If map-making was as simple as Cities: Skylines or something like that, I would totally do it but it's not.
My point about the naming is that usually naming a mod is when its about to be done or already done. And dont worry about spending time learning. Developers of beamng and modders are humans, and they are not much more capable than you of creating a mod. All you need to do is to sit yourself in front of things that wont satisfy you until they will.
I would just call it Florida USA like Utah, because the game has no real town names, but state names do exist. And the location would be nice With a City, swamps and beaches.
