This is my third map and it's based off a Russian volcanic island. It will have lots of trails, highways, bodies of water, and more upon its completion. Currently, it has trails and I am working on many miles of smooth highway.
I was wondering why the devs hadn't said anything about it. Didn't expect the whole thread to get deleted. Oh well. Looks nice. After searching I found out that "blyth" is actually an city in england. I see a long highway which mean this map isn't just going to have dirt roads. The first corner looks a bit strange though in this screenshot:
Yeah I need to do some cleaning up, it's kind of hard to form a "ka" with decal roads. Blyth is just a name I picked, this map has no relation to England. And yes, this map will have some highways.
Well here's to good progress and hoping some 'cranking old CARmudgeon' doesn't delete the thread this time
Some work on Cyk....Blyth Island. A trail that crosses a causeway through the bay. Also made some new trails not shown in the pictures.
After much stalling and being busy, I finally got some more progress on the map. I also decided to rename it. I have made several miles of mostly smoothed and banked 3-lane highway. Here are a few WIP pictures, with (hopefully) more to come. Maybe I'll do a very empty and rough version soon? We'll see.
This will be quite a hoot to zip around on when it's done. If you need more textures let me know and I'll hook you up with my latest beta of So-Cal in a few days, it has a few that blend with it if you don't have that already.
If anyone is interested in privately testing a very early version of this map, PM me. I may have a version in the next week or two.
Some pictures of one of the (many to come) bridges. Getting ready to send out some alphas soon. Still working on a few bugs I'm aware of and smoothing/banking roads.
I see the highway and trails on your progress pics but do you have some asphalt roads made or planned?
I do have some that branch off of the highway, they are technically not highway I guess. --- Post updated --- Progress update, bridges, exits, islands. It's still very much a work-in-progress and is subject to change.
reminds me a lot of a map from ROR... i forget what the map was called, but it looked a lot like this! this looks pretty cool, i can see myself having fun on those crazy roads.
Was it made by Scania970 or something? I think I know what you mean. Anyway I enjoy nostalgia to RoR.
no clue. i was never a part of the ROR community, and only recently became a part of the beam community. if someone can find the map that this map reminds me of, i will give you a 100% free 100% real internet-hug!
He updated the thread 3 days ago (oops, actually about a week and a half), so I'd assume it's still alive. Mods take time, so patience is key
