I think expanding some of the maps like Utah with the highway leading to a small town, and east coast USA expansions, I think expansions would be better than new maps because the map would be the same size of the other ones, 1.6 miles. Italy is the biggest map about 6 miles
I feel like expansion is better as well, every map kinda seems to end in construction works or is an island, I always have myself thinking what could be beyond the limits
Yea I don’t think adding more small maps that are the same size won’t do it for anyone. Plus I couldn’t think of anywhere else to do, I hope that they will add to maps, even just like .6 mile would make a map 2.2 miles. I don’t know how to measure maps in the miles.
I don't really think this should be a problem, when I'm on one quadrant of the map, another one which I can't see doesn't need to be rendered or loaded. This way the size can be infinitely big
I mean if they can have shuto expressway working well in beamng, i would think that attleast part of ets map could be ported. I have some areas of stockholm exported from ets but im just not good enough on texturing yet to be able to do the whole thing and dont have much time for it as well.
>This way the size can be infinitely big
It's really not that simple. An approach like this works fine for Minecraft because the player movement speed is very limited. For a driving game, you need to guarantee that the time travelled between two chunks is longer than the time to load in and render the new chunk.
Even big money AAA games like Forza Horizon struggle with this if you go fast enough, it's certainly not trivial to implement.
Yeah but if you can't run Italy (which is the size the people were wishing the expansion to be), you really shouldn't be running BeamNG in the first place
Doing a new map takes time.
A lot of time.
It’s easier right now for them to redo older maps (West Coast USA, anyone?), because a lot of them have been needing updates for some time now to bring them up to the level of quality the team expects.
A new map will hopefully come, but it might be a while.
Personally, West Coast is one if no my favorite map in the game because it's the closest to my town which is a small country town. What would you like to see different about it?
Edit: I may have mistaken the west coast map for the other? Not sure. Got drunk with some buddies today who's saying west coast is California but I thought I remembered the country map being in like Maine or something?
The same stuff done to the other maps (PBR textures and stuff) but I’d also like to see a map expansion of sorts. Maybe a new area or two that hasn’t been seen before would be nice. Same goes for East Coast USA.
I have a suspicion they might be doing a rework of it since they didn’t already do pbr for it.
Italy is cool. I’m excited for it, even if it’s just pbr.
instead of a new map, west coast should be bigger. the track is my favourite one, but the city itself feels too small. a map the size of italy but of la or new york would be so cool.
or maybe a city outside of the US to shake things up
Maps in the UK or Japan would be great for driving, maps in Eastern Europe would be great for crash compilations, North Africa, Finland, Greece would be cool for rallying and South America would be cool, in Brasil only.
YES. I have dreamt about this for years. Driving my own 240 is fun, but the ability to trash around in one in Beam would be amazing.
Forza Horizon 5 partly scratches the itch, but i miss the collision physics.. :)
Saloon! 1989 GL with 8k miles. https://imgur.com/gallery/1jwgBxs
I want an estate, but the good ones has become really expensive (even here in Sweden..)
Play the BeamMP B sports map, it's incredible and feels on par with the quality design of a base map.

I think it’s more to due with Japanese car culture being popular.
A lot of people got interested in cars because of what was happening in Japan, so it’s nostalgic to them.

I would love to see something East coast. It’s like one small town and a lot of nothing. Like New England has MANY major cities, mountains, you name it.
Some kind of Alpine valley, with a ski resort. Surrounded my mountains to explore.
Something I would love to see more excitedly would be weather effects. Having different levels of standing water, rain, ice, snow etc...
While I agree new maps would be nice, I understand that it is not the focus at this point. As people have said there is a big variety right now, so a new map would not add much of a new experience to the game, just more content.
While this is not bad, I believe the game is at a point where it can try to gain footholds in more aspects than just a physics sim. By focussing on the potential this game has they can hopefully invest their time into turning this game into one of the best overall driving and racing games out there (if it isn't already).
Adding a new map is a massive time investment, and very difficult to bring up to their standard. As proven by most map mods looking rather bad. Also with the new graphical standards PBR brings it is important to update old content to the same level as new content.
I love going trail running in basically normal cars with buds on beam, most mod maps don’t include trails that almost stock cars are capable of going through, it’s fun to struggle a little lol, Utah would be sweet if it had more Moab style features, and if the mines were expanded, also if there was some more sand, and also a little grey rock forestry, would be really fun

I didn't think of this and this is genius idea. If they add this I'll find a way to port the map from ETS2 over.
I want the map from FH3 so I can send a bolide off the end of that runway at Mach 3, and also cause fh3 has so many memories for me
if not I would love to have a map based on the east coast of Australia, I reckon it would be sick as
I mean if they can have shuto expressway working well in beamng, i would think that attleast part of ets map could be ported. I have some areas of stockholm exported from ets but im just not good enough on texturing yet to be able to do the whole thing and dont have much time for it as well.

True
The technology exists; the only question is whether they can afford it/know how to mod the engine to add the functionality themselves.
Yeah but if you can't run Italy (which is the size the people were wishing the expansion to be), you really shouldn't be running BeamNG in the first place
Yeah I'd love a long straight highway
Expansions would make the maps take longer time to load and laggier. I think it's better to just add new ones wich also adds more variety
I want a rural Canada map so I can simulate blowing my tires out on the poorly maintained roads.
Don't forget that they wouldn't be plowed in winter either! Snowbound offroading anyone?
That’s r/snowrunner We have yukon, alaska, siberia and kola peninsula. Wisconsin, Maine, Don region, Yakutika…
east coast usa is kinda like that
Yes, NB simulator, we got roads worse then Russia

West coast has already had an extension/revamp....
Italy definitely.
I have a suspicion they might be doing a rework of it since they didn’t already do pbr for it. Italy is cool. I’m excited for it, even if it’s just pbr.
They need to make something at the other end of the “bay bridge” on West Coast USA
Yea
Its a small island, but it would make the map so much better, maybe an abandoned town like Boston Long Island?
instead of a new map, west coast should be bigger. the track is my favourite one, but the city itself feels too small. a map the size of italy but of la or new york would be so cool. or maybe a city outside of the US to shake things up
I'd like one with snow.. We need a wintery map
[удалено]
Yes indeed, rough roads covered in snow and ice
I'll gladly pay for this if it's done. Perfect terrains for off-roading and rallying.
Anywhere besides the US would be good
[удалено]
Maps in the UK or Japan would be great for driving, maps in Eastern Europe would be great for crash compilations, North Africa, Finland, Greece would be cool for rallying and South America would be cool, in Brasil only.
If we ever get a map there they must give us a classic roadster and something like a Cortina or an Escort
[удалено]
I would love an european saloon, for rally, BTCC and cool car chases
Still waiting for that Volvo.. :)
Yes please
A 240 inspired car would be incredible, 2 door and 4 door saloon and an estate
YES. I have dreamt about this for years. Driving my own 240 is fun, but the ability to trash around in one in Beam would be amazing. Forza Horizon 5 partly scratches the itch, but i miss the collision physics.. :)
You have a 240!? That's cool, estate or saloon?
Saloon! 1989 GL with 8k miles. https://imgur.com/gallery/1jwgBxs I want an estate, but the good ones has become really expensive (even here in Sweden..)
isn’t there already one?
Nop, the LeGran is more like a Buick or Olds
GridMap V2 is not even a year old
Its literally gridmap lol, its meant for testing.
Play the BeamMP B sports map, it's incredible and feels on par with the quality design of a base map. https://www.beamng.com/resources/beammp-bsports-map.21076/
It's great but it needs some optimization. It runs like ass.
last big map we got was Italy. I never use it because I simply don’t like it much and way too many curvy roads and no long straight roads to get speed
I really do wish we get a map like American Road in the future.
I feels like American Road hasn't been updated by the mod devs in a long time. It's starting to get boring
Still waiting for a proper town for RHD cars

Yea it would actually.
Now I'll really like to see a Mexico map in Beam and Japan for highways, overhead bridges and tunnels. Would be lit.
A snow map would be cool to see, but i'd also like to see map based on like Mexico or something, something FH5-ish :)
https://youtu.be/2GBXy_PLbhs This map just came out, it are multiple racetracks plus normal roads in between
It looks almost as good as official maps

I'm not sure, but I think they might know that
We need some procedural thing. The only problem of this game is that it is too good.

Gridmap V2?
Why not have small maps that you load into through a tunnel or something

Also with the new graphical standards PBR brings it is important to update old content to the same level as new content.
I'd want a map with a city, suburbs, and a long highway that is medium sized. I know Los Injurus exists but I'm talking about in-game maps.
Maybe a Brazilian map since roads here are not easy.

More time trials when, they're very fun imo (especially the rally and off road ones)
