Just a PSA to let you know that, while I still work on the content for this City, it's been not only a bit slow going, but my 'experiment' to try and add smart traffic signals (which the AI can see) has completely bombed. No amount of walking away and coming back to it is getting me anywhere with it. There's NO documentation that's even remotely usable, even on the wiki. It says a few things but is so cryptic and archaic that it's useless.
SMART traffic signals will NOT be added unti...

While Release Candidate 3 awaits authorization, I'd like to mention that all reported bugs are fixed, more details have been added (the Line City lot not far from the island base / island airport is finished up, detailed are added, roads and AI improved).
So entirely, there's another day's worth of detail added, the bugs with the 3-lane AI on the outer-loop are fixed (again not far from the island base, start there and go clockwise for 2 miles to the dam and that's all fixed now), the A...

This fixes all known bugs, especially the double yellow line bug which was a game conflict.
Lots (hundreds) less console errors, too.
Lots of texture pathing fixed, in-fact, I spent hours and hours parsing over 40,000 lines of scripting on the texture indices to fix them by hand, one by one.
Also fixed a bunch of other bugs, missing texture layers, improperly named files, and so-forth and so-on.
Added a little more detailing in a few spots, but it's not a whole lot. S...

This is the release candidate for December 2024.
LOTS of stuff has been updated over in the corner of the level past the abandoned mall. Basically, if you started at CrashBoomPunk's spawn point and turns around you'd be all over it. Free-cam if you need to, but also know there's new spawn points. There's a FULL PAGE OF SPAWN POINTS now!
This new area is called Beluga Beach (like Laguna Beach a bit).

Stayed up late to post this in-stead of pushing until tomorrow.
All reported bugs (?) should be fixed.
LOTS of AI changes all over, especially when/where it was broken.
Fixed a few sticky end-pieces on some narrow guide-rails
Fixed one of the broken raised-highway on/off ramp model pieces near default spawn, should fix a few spots where lanes suddenly end.
Are cypress trees fixed? I fixed it twice in-game, hopefully it stays this time - Renamed texture but not t...

Finally it's here!
After much work, and a lot of effort, the outer-loop highway is completely redone now. Some 4.5~5 miles or so of highway is completely redone and a mile of new highway has been added. This should make your experience running the outer-loop rather seamless now. Some goofiness with AI traffic in the middle lane for about 2 miles of it may be expected (approaching the large cloverleaf interchange that goes to the island air-base if you run counter-clockwise on the ou...

Bug-fix update, completes many loose ends and adds spawn points for new shore-side town that's getting started.
Lots and lots of fixes. I mean LOTS of them.
Updated/improved some level-loading graphics and made new ones for new spawn points.
Some temp stuffs deleted (some remains of-course), and things generally cleaned up a bit.
This is the SAME version that will be present on the official BeamNG servers later this week, so you won't have to re-download it (unle...

First, this has taken far too long; how time flies, and so-forth.
While the AI is rough, there may be some WIP elements and the like, there's over FIVE miles of completely refurbished roadway (mostly highway) out there to enjoy.
Many texture bugs were fixed, so DO let me know if there's still textures that do not work.
There's also many miles of surface road that are completely 100% new - mostly in the rural area of the map, out of the city past the new-ish DAM area.

This should work like it's supposed to.
Only difference from last week (9 or 10 days ago) is that I used DEFLATE and not DEFLATE64 as I had misunderstood that the 64-bit version was supported or not (it's not).
You won't have to extract this.
If you extracted and got the last week's update to run already, you DO NOT need this. It's only differing in the compression method, the map is 100% the same.

1st update using the new MAP SLIMMER tool! Thanks for that AlexKidd71 via BeamNG forums. Comes in super handy and only involved a little over an hour of work.
First things first, this should fix any and all texture bugs. It might even run with less VRAM (it's possible) than the old one. Keep me posted on this is you choose to use high detail as to how much VRAM is used.

You can now enjoy the 11-foot-8 bridge, in all of it's fully working glory, in BeamNG Drive.
*There is no OVER-HEIGHT MUST TURN sign yet, it'll be in soon though.
Please keep in mind the AI will be a bit buggier than usual this time around as I ran out of time to test it.
If there's too many annoying bugs I will fast-track an update in <10 days, unless of-course if this is completely busted on arrival or anything like that.

So, all-in, there's several miles of new and refreshed roadways for you to check out, and the center of the show is definitely a good 2+ miles of completely re-done and re-routed highway just past the cloverleaf I had been working on. This new highway has been painstakingly done to look as real as possible when it comes to the texturing...

Well evidently the game has an issue with the 4.12gb file.
Please unpack the mod via the menu, or extract it your beamng drive user folder (you can open the zip, and drop the LEVELS folder right into the beamng.drive user folder).
the correct path will be ...\beamng.drive\levels\tsh (in tsh folder you should see cali.ter file, if you do, it's correct).

There's a ton of new culverts you can drive right through, in the typical box-culvert designs we're used to seeing. Have fun exploring them, there's quite a number of them around. I hope folks appreciate the extra work in engineering all this stuff.

This version is verified to work with game version 0.20, 0.21, and 0.22.
3.7 new miles of completely re-done highway, which should be much more interesting and great for high speed drifts.
One of the new interchanges has some development nearby.
A few miles of surface road were changed here and vastly improved.
Hopefully it works out well enough for you & DO enjoy the jumps.

It's 4.5 miles exactly from touch-down spot to the opposing touch-down spot on each runway, and the distance between one runway pair and the shorter ones closer to the highway / flyover is roughly about two miles.
