Eh, no idea how that happened, probably some misclick on the mobile website... Sorry in case I confused someone
Richard Hammond attempting to drive the new Italy screenshot: On a more serious note, every screenshot of this map makes me a little more excited
Anyone else excited for flying above Italy ? Just look at the runway for example Size is nice, enough to handle big planes and from what I can see its long enough for larger planes to use to take off. Other thing is the beautiful fields. The view from the cockpits / cabins are going to be amazing !
Every screenshot of Italy has me thinking "How much will this affect the entirety of BeamNG.drive?" After all, once this gets published, it will be the biggest dev-made map in history, with an area of about 16.8 kilometers, which means that it pretty much will be like running WCA, ECA, JRI, and Small Island all at the same time. In fact, I have high hopes for this map leading to the development of bigger, better (and better-running) modded maps with more detail, more towns, and maybe (just maybe) the first big-city modded map in BeamNG. That sounds seriously exciting, come to think of it.
I'm just happy to see something that looks a bit like greece from RoR. I spent god knows how many hours on that map, loved it to bits. To see something in the same vein for BeamNG would be super dope.
I am being completely honest here, and I know people are going to hate me for this, I wish that maps, and cars wouldn't be the only thing being focused on in updates. I think that better crash physics, and working on something like 'paint scratching', and trees, and guardrails obliterating a 2000lbs car going 200mph, and steering wheels, rear view mirrors, and seats not glitching out, I know this has already been suggested a million times, and people say it wouldn't work, but airbags would be great, but there is a BeamNG default prop that is a huge inflatable mat, that acts like a huge airbag, if they made that smaller, then you have a airbag. I know all of this has already been suggested, and I understand that. But if I was a developer, which I'm not, I would focus on these things. I sound like a huge prick, who's asking for way too much in this post, but this is just my two cents on the update. But yes I am VERY hyped for it!
I wasn't focused entirely upon the map, so much as I was focused upon the effects that the map would have upon the rest of the game. If Italy becomes runnable on cheap computers, then I think that the improvements to the engine required to run Italy will allow for those improvements that you so wish for. That is why I'm hyped for Italy (as well as the opportunity to do some proper mountain racing.
Same with the bolide and SBR. In, fact I'd like ones for every car, but first I want skins added for all cars and a t series fire truck.
Same, I am also quite concerned about the effect it will have on my PC. Also I'm quite sure that about 50% of BeamNG players have a low end PC. I actually played BeamNG on a very low end PC up until May of this year. I could barely play on Utah, and couldn't even play on East Coast USA. God forbid that old computer run West Coast USA, or Italy.
