    I used to see this image so many times when looking online for anything related to BeamNG.drive. But one question is what map is in the background of the image? The main issue with this image is that most of them are blurry. But some of them on the internet are higher quality. There are also different variations of this image too, not where the angles from the image are taken, but where the text for BeamNG.drive is. And also, what mod is this for the Covet in this image? It has a custom paintjob on it and I've been wondering what mod this could be. If anyone can figure out what map this is. Then thanks!

    I don't think so, Dry Rock Island has lots of trees and different roads from the picture, East Coast USA has a different terrain palette from the map that is shown.

    this might help: https://faycheung.deviantart.com/art/BeamNG-Drive-Poster-391918881. link is dead and i havent found any archives of it but it's from where the image comes from, we could probably get more info on the scheme/map if we ever find an archive of the post found the mod for covet https://www.beamng.com/threads/ibishu-covet-police-skins-vb-okinawa.2337/, i'll try to find the map
    not east coast as image was made in august 2013. and not dry rock because it's too big to be it

    it could be industrial site or a map based on it

    Maybe the map was made by the person who made the Covet mod. They never said anything about the map, so maybe it was private.

    It's an image from early versions of BeamNG. The Covet skin is probably a mod or have been designed by BeamNG devs only for this image. The background map is Industrial, ofc it is the first version of it so you won't find the same location in 0.38.

    I'll try to remake it if I remember

    back in those days there was no support for skins on vehicles, so a livery like that would have been a texture replacement mod. dannit i feel old

    in fact, here it is: https://www.beamng.com/threads/ibishu-covet-police-skins-vb-okinawa.2337/

    and because of course that won't work, here's a remake of it courtesy of @kaorunakayamap https://www.beamng.com/threads/ibishu-covet-police-skins-vb-okinawa-corrected-version.103416/

    I tried to remake the map myself, though, it isn't perfect. Keep in mind that this is in an older version so there might be a few bugs with the map. Hope you enjoy!
