    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.

    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.

    Potential candidate for a thumbnail at some point.

    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.

    Alpha might be slightly delayed, but I am working on more highway and exits. Pictures to come.

    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!

    I may have a suggestion for later, little towns in the map would be cool.

    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:D
