    hmmmm... Maybe that was there default and I didn't notice it. Oh well. It would be a good thing to build off of in the future! I wonder what the Devs are planning then........
    anyways I am about to check out beta 2

    Also, to be honest, I liked the excavator in the garage.

    as did i, but A. it wouldn't let me save the removal of the car without changing something (for some reason), and B. that excavator was a very high-poly model, and there is a chance it could change fps, even very slightly.

    but mainly reason A. ;)

    Oh ok:(
    --- Post updated ---
    Hey so I just noticed Beta 2 did not fix anything for me I have no Idea if anyone else had this problem, but...
    I am about to try reinstalling it but I just wanted to make you aware that this could be an issue. Will edit post after reinstall. upload_2018-5-15_17-20-18.png
    EDIT:
    I just reinstalled it with the same issue:(. Oh well I still love the new feel of WCUSA it makes the map so much better to have the blue skies and better sunlight.

    I'll try it without reshade. FPS kinda dropped a little, reshade might be a cause. Also, maybe fill in this space in the city? (didn't you say you would make a mall?)

    California doesn't mean yellow and palms everywhere ;)


    Would it be possible to only include the files you changed in your ZIP,
    (for example, why include the art>buildings folder with all the original textures and meshes, if those aren't changed?)


    Also a tiny issue:

    You have these .TER and .JSON file outside the west_coast_usa folder.
    Those are not used, as the level json is pointing to the ones inside that folder:



    You can probably remove them and save some kb.

    ...

    There are reason for that, mainly to compensate where the lighting system is lacking at the moment.
    See the comparison screenshots in the first post.
    The sky is so bright it's burning at some angles, as well the colors of some bright-colored buildings/objects being directly lit by the sun.

    Sample:

    @Acrain7 I thought a train/bus type building would work quite nicely:

    1. "California doesn't mean yellow and palms everywhere ;)" but it could :p
    2. (all of the other stuffs) yeah the art files were just sent back and forth so @JonasTMT could get the new models in for me, i'll fix / force someone else to fix that later

    yeah, but i love the brightness of it all :D

    i'll gladly make a tutorial later if y'all want it changed, though :)
    you've read my mind! :D

    That's my fault. Do I just have to change the pathing from west_coast_usa/art/building into (using example ECUSA ECA buildings) east_coast_USA/art/shapes/buildings/eca? I always did include textures in my maps. I thought I need to include the textures bc the official maps are in another levels folder. Or does the mods folder the same as the 'content' folder, where all the official vehicles and maps and more are stored?

    Hello !

    You should edit your first post to make download link in. I search every page to find it ^^

    Appreciate your work on this map :)

    Hey so I just had an idea...
    Once you are done making this map, could you maybe do this for the other stock maps too? This mod made the environment so much more friendly than stock BeamNG and I find it to be way more enjoyable to play with the light modded than stock.

    Just another sugestion:D

    Keep up the great work!

    yeah, and in fact the main reason progress has halted (which is totally not related to a lack of ideas for the map), is because i want to wait for italy to come out, it will be BEAUTIFUL!

    I am ready for that too. Super excited.

    Does that imply that whats released now is final for WCUSA or are you just waiting for italy?

    Also the Devs like releasing things on holidays and with memorial day coming up in the US..................
