What if like Beamng Drive did with Automation, they let people create new maps in Beamng Drive from City Skylines? You could make a map that's just a testing highway, or, and entire city, and then drive in it. This would be the best update they could do in my opinion
I've had the same idea however with some sizes of some of the Cities in CS I think they'd just be too powerful to be used in BeamNG without terrible frame drops. If it was somehow made possible though it'd be a great feature.
Some people did that with Sim city. The issue is that cities skyline doesn't look very well up close.
While it is a cool idea, it just isnt possible. There is no way to export maps from C:S, and even if it was possible, i cant see Torque3D being able to handle maps that are that big and detailed
Well what if they up scaled the resolution? I don't know though this is more like a wish than a possibility
Isn't the Tenneessee map by bob.blunderton like 192km2? BeamNG handles it fine, altough the UI seems to glitch out a bit sometimes
Cities skyline CAN and WILL be far bigger than 192km squared. But some maps can be limited in size to export. Size isn't the issue. Yeah, looks good. But then you compare it to stock terrain and mod maps where every rock placement, tree, and shader is manually placed and you will notice there will be an issue. Not to mention CS never had great meshes between buildings (of any type) with the road, and dont get me started on mountainous roads and trails, CS makes them look awful. Im not saying it wouldn't be a good idea in the long run, but CS maps DO look bad upclose if you check around.
