    Have you ever seen the not-so-busy streets of WCUSA, and thought, "hey, this map needs more! more palm trees, and more light!"? Well, if you are one of the three other people who had that thought, then congratulations! Your prayers, have been answered, BEHOLD, WestCoastUsa - *Palm & Sun Edition!*

    (and for the rest of you who didn't think that, then well... uhh... enjoy? yeah, enjoy! :p )

    *file not uploaded yet, fyi*

    Here's some snazzy Before & After shots!



    Lighting:

    Before & After

    Palm Trees:

    (all this is is an edit to the sunsky properties and a replacement of all of the regular trees with palm trees, because why not!)

    Notes:

    - No fps drops should occur because of this mod, as no trees were removed or added, just replaced. the amount of trees is still the same!

    - I only replaced trees that WE'RENT IN POTS. TREES IN POTS WERE NOT REPLACED ON PURPOSE!

    - the replacement of the trees only occurred in the city and residential area, and some of the highway. NOTHING ELSE! (i think)

    - your eyes may take a minute to adjust to the all-new brightness of the lighting, just so ya know!



    released! WOOOHOOO!


    bETA_1 RELEASED, DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW!

    INSTALLATION:
    1. download the file
    2. put the files from the zip folder in the .../documents/BeamNG.Drive/levels folder


    3. DONE!

    All you have to do is adjust the skyBrightness in the inspector...

    progress report for y'all:

    - Added working lights to lamp posts and streetlamps
    - Removed working lights from lamp posts and streetlamps (fps issues)
    - Began progress on second city, Beam-Vegas
    - Undone all progress on second city, Beam-Vegas (realized late that the city buildings were all one pre-made giant object...)
    - Began progress on new town
    - Undone progress on new town (wanted to keep FPS the same, so adding more buildings wouldn't of helped!)
    - Made sun brighter

    so basically i just spent three hours to make the sun a lil' brighter! :D

    BEFORE:


    and

    AFTER:


    (halo-ish thing above the covet is a new lense flare, should NOT affect FPS!)

    oh, almost forgot, i added this thing:


    why not.

    Not bad! This actually looks really good! I honestly would like to see more towns and roads, just maybe separate the mesh for one or two buildings and use those. Like make a neighborhood or something. Affecting the FPS a little shouldnt hurt tremendously, I would think.

    One thing ive reacted to is that the SunSky settings in WCUSA is way different (H I G H E R) to the other maps, might be that way to make the other settings such as rayleighscattering and so on having a better 'resolution' since the values got quite small for those.

    I'm quite sorry but i'm not too bright (ironic, huh?), so would you mind explaining that again in a way that i can understand what you just said? :p

    i think you are trying to say that i should have a higher 'resolution'?... but to what?...

    like i said i'm not very smart haha
