After going back and forth for about a week deciding what to make, I have settled on making the island of Jan Mayen.
Jan Mayen is a Norwegian volcanic island located in the Arctic Ocean located roughly 370 miles north east of Iceland.
It's a small project as I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew for my first release. However the island is teeming with culture.
This is an early work in progress, only been at it tonight. Everything is subject to change, but the overal theme you see will be staying.
The first release will consist of:
2 ferries: One from Torshavn and one from Norkapp leading to Xoryx's Greenland mod, I now have his permission.
3 settlements: Olonkinbyen, Norkapp and Sorkapp.
3-4 companies, mainly fish and heavy general goods.
Woops. I updated it on the SCS Forum and Terramaps but not here...
For those who have been reuploading my work, please keep the original download and use these updated images ONLY. It makes me look bad if you use the older images. Thank you.
I would paint snow on parts of it but since the texture has had U and V repeat to the TOBJ it's painting it in "areas in a pattern" as opposed to direclty where my mouse is, so that is why I plan to make a few of them.
Planned for update 1.0
Redesign the roads to match satellite data better. (In Progress)
Redesign the airport and model it in the correct location and give it correct textures (more custom textures will be made for this.)
Design the 2 Lagoons on the island (The road to Puppebu will be redone, and the road to Nordkapp will be redone also.
Model the Beerenberg volcano (I loaded up Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 last night and flew from Jan Mayen to get a better idea of how the map should look. That was a ton of fun!)
Model several large mountains for placing around the middle of the map.
Design a small settlement for Eggoya just past Janmayensfield (the airport.)
Redesign Nordkapp with the proper building and globe and not just a "looped road" to the globe. This be overlooking a vast cliff like it is in real life.
Model a few signs (bear warnings etc)
And last but not least...
I am planning to release a Winter Edition.
This will consist of:
Snowy roads (So grip is drastically reduced)
Custom rock models with snow textures, these will strewn across roads and the terrain to create obstacles.
Snowbanks by the roadside (If you've played DiRT Rally you'll know the type I mean.)
More Ice Bergs and chunks of ice strewn about the map.
May work well with Grimes' winter mod but I have to test that.
Snow will harden and will be piled up along the road network (This will be terrain pieces that have their vertices come through the ground.)
The Winter Edition has not been started. It will be included as a seperate download when 1.0 is released.
Similar to Hawkb's Dalton & Elliot Highway Map for American Truck Simulator.
This will take quite a long time so please bare with me.
I will ammend each current stage with "Complete" "In progress" and "Not started" These will follow the same colour from the OP.
The reception to the map so far has been very good across the board and I cannot wait for you to see what is coming. It's going to be a wild ride.
