The map is handmade, which means the cliffs and roads were placed by me while smaller rocks were 'brushed,' larger ones were not placed by hand. The map's name is also based on research. I did research for the desert and mountains, the town, and such. While the map itself is fictional, it combines both own ideas and references to real-life places. I wanted to have a bigger map-a map that is large (at least for me, who makes only small(er) maps).

There will be much more to it including the Los Angeles-inspired flood control canals when it's done.-Scratch-built custom terrain: The terrain was generated with a special program for that map. It has an abandoned mall you can drive through with TWO levels to crash about in, a subway system (which I've just added more to), real professionally made roads composed of a Modular Road Kit (MRK) that enable anyone to build a city (on it's public release), a dirt track, an airstrip (eventually it will be a military base), and around 45 miles of highway. It's all custom objects though with only a few buildings from the stock game included. I've spent about 500 dollars on software in the last year alone on this map, including monthly fees for Maya.

I wouldn't have even started the fund for it, however software has costed me hundreds thus far & I am on a fixed income. I am sure the old So-Cal still works though, it can be found on the forums or mods section of the BeamNG site if you don't wish to donate to the project. So-Cal Interstate is deprecated, the new version is Los Injurus City map project, which is currently available to those who donate to the project via Patreon. Traffic works well here as it always did. It's enjoyable if you want an invigorating twisty road full of nothing but hairpins, trees, and occasional embankments to fall down. Tail of The Dragon is a rather 'small' (by mileage standards) map I made with just the 12+ mile course in Deal's Gap on the Tennessee / North Carolina border. The AI has not been updated to include 'one way roads' yet because the map is old (that's coming next month), but the AI will work in a basic manner, and it does have 60+ miles of roads. Nevada Interstate isn't an overwhelmingly huge map like Desert Highway or Roane County, but it is fairly large and has a 13.x mile loop of interstate highway that doesn't know it's not a race track. The AI on Roane County should be pretty flawless as it was just updated with improved AI for the Traffic Tool, updated bridges, and new highway textures that I custom made. Roane County was actually supposed to be only a concept, a test bed for large open worlds but it worked. Roane County is just a few % bigger than Desert Highway, but has much more roads and buildings (though Desert Highway has been around since before Roane County, too). Roane County TN USA, in it, the road that goes through Rockwood and Harriman downtown goes for over 18 miles from north to south end of the map.
