4r - What is going on?
Added 2025-09-08 15:16:56 +0000 UTCI wanted to give you guys a little insight for future plans & what has happened in the past months.
After the rework of Stockholm map, I gave it another try to get all the maps (Hamburg-Denmark-Sweden-Stockholm) together into one map. For this I completely reworked the whole maps again, by resizing sections and even deleting some section to make an overall shorter route. However, after all was done it sadly became clear that with this scale of the map, even if perfectly positioned and shortened, it will not be possible to eliminate the ''car-shaking'' issue.
So I got back to the plan that you all voted for in the last poll - putting focus back on working out the separate maps with more detail and quality, instead of hardtrying to get all maps together with the known issues and limitation.
Get Hamburg Back on The Map! ⚓
Alot of changes have been made so far and a new updated is expected to be ready soon, currently taking care of last touches and fixes.
About the upcoming update:
Reworked Textures for more realism
Reworked Track Lights to more realistic / less saturated lighting. Also added lots of new lights and added night glow effect above the city.
Added 20+ new animations
Added lots of new trees, bushes and some more high quality 3D vegetation
Remodeled some objects and track areas (mostly fixed wheel shaking/bumby road)
Added more building roof details, new emissive signs
some new custom modeled highway details
better lod's & performance optimization
and most importantly:
map is re-positioned now to fix the shaking car issue once and for all.
As you see this is not really an update, its pretty much a complete rework of Hamburg map to make it shine in a new light. I tried to raise the quality standard on the map to a level of SRP - even if not 100% there yet this will be a huge step in that direction especially with all the new lights and texture changes. I hope you are excited for this, I am really excited already for your feedback once it is out :) more info coming soon...
Much Greets,
4r
