    If you do make a map, please don't make this one with these reference images. I plan to make it, as it is a location very close to me. One might say I reserve this idea.

    Wouldn't you like to know, pal. ;)

    Here's an update to that post.

    The badly maintained roads will make for a challenging driving experience. 89902793_2584978951791029_6079238264290541568_n.jpg - Feat. Bike wheel.

    Some of the potholes that you will see are really quite substantial. Hit it at a good enough speed, and you'll throw all sorts of suspension components.

    89466052_293208964981154_5617155184024092672_n.jpg Roads are a bit wet, too. No drainage.

    89739895_2548410008766708_714873434990968832_n.jpg Got to have some beauty spots, too. <3 89502945_2595656850670008_387284850417074176_n.jpg

    Some signage and grotty roads.

    Since that's about all the files I can upload, I'll leave this here.

    I plan to make this as a mod, however I would need help in doing so. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be super.

    I don't need LiDAR, it seems. I have the exact heightmap of the area, as the Blender addon that allowed me to capture it worked like a dream. I'm still pottering around, trying to summon the energy to undertake this task.

    Hi, I'm doing a PhD on how Driving Anxiety impacts driver skill, particular hazard perception and prediction. Although I don't have any experience in game design, a UK map would be amazing to create scenarios to test hazard perception using BeamNG and a driving simulator

    Would be a great location for some rally scenarios. I live in the South West too, so I can attest to the crappiness of the rural roads (and the roads in general).

    I think a decent mix of A and B roads, with a motorway section and a suburban area with a bunch of roundabouts would make for an excellent map. I agree that a city would be a bit much, maybe as a separate map.
