Roane County, Tennessee, USA 19.3.1

Thanks, this area is the Kingston, Harriman, and Rockwood area of Tennessee (eastern/middle Tennessee). It does exist, with route 40, and a bunch of others in there (you'll have to look at the signs, which ones are in yet). Do enjoy though, there's a lot of road to cover and lots of hidden jumps everywhere especially in Harriman downtown.

Yes, welcome to virtual Tennessee! Kingston, Harriman towns are already in, as is Route 40, along with around 150 other miles of various roads, from Kentucky street in Kingston on the east side, to Westel road on the west.
Rockwood isn't very populated yet, and Cardiff, Westel, Midtown and Glen Alice don't even exist yet... they will in time though!
In the future I will make other sections of route 40 between Cookville and Knoxville, as it's quite fun to drive when the weather permits.
I am also currently in the progress of making Tail of the Dragon / Deal's Gap.
--Cheers

Check for old or conflicting mod versions, in your mods directory. The signs and traffic lights do work, if the bezel (surrounding fixture) of the traffic light itself is orange NOTEXTURE and the light itself works (where it shows green red or yellow signal), that's the old version and was fixed shortly after 0.9.x came out due to a conflict between forest-object name and texture name (texture + object sharing name = conflict!).

Most certainly, I used a second screen for plotting the roads accurately. Google may track everything you do but certainly is useful for re-creating terrain in-game. Keep an eye out for summer's update to the map (in a month or two), after I finish Tail of the Dragon, as it will flesh out the detail some more on this map.

This is floating point math in action. Floating point physics work with your processor in a dedicated section of the CPU, called the FPU (Floating point unit). Floating point works by just slightly rounding off the numbers it's using for physics, for a mega speed boost (it's exponentially better speed-wise, then standard arithmetic logic unit ALU for running a real-time sim that doesn't need NASA precision). FPU's have been part of cpu's for roughly almost 25 years now, they work great from games like MS-DOS DOOM, all the way through to Beamng.drive. Great for handling AI and software drawn 3d to applications, and lots of physics. The shaking you see is the imperfections - visual only - the actual physics is NOT negatively affected by imperfections introduced by the rounding. When you're driving at speed, you won't see this, and it happens more towards the edges of the map. Closer to the map center (where you'd always be on a smaller map compared to this map), you won't see this shaking as much, this center is somewhere just SE of ROCKWOOD spawn point (the town is not finished yet, but you can spawn there), you won't see the shaking here much / at all. Shaking gets worse towards the world edges, but if we avoid using the edges we miss many fun things we could fit into the map!
So yes, while it does shimmy like it's got a vacuum line knocked off the engine or some old stale petrol, it's merely visual and won't be detrimental to the game-play in any way besides doing the 'Shimmy-shimmy-shake'.
So rest assured the game will continue to function as normal. This isn't the only map it happens on, but it's the largest terrestrial map, so it will be noticed here more easily than others. There really isn't anything I could do to fix it, it's more a peculiarity to the game than a bug.
However, we folks here at the fictitious 2Big_for_the_game_engine_but_still_fun_maps_incorporated really thank you for writing in :)

I did stray from the perfect 100% a bit with the bare sandstone mountains.
I am not entirely sure if I will forest them or leave them as they are.
Attempting to forest the entire length of the mountain will both hurt FPS quite a bit (it's 14 miles long), it will also increase the RAM requirement of the map (by way of increased forest objects and collision model for it).
I will most likely revisit this when I have the map in a more completed state after the towns are 'furnished' up a bit more than they are now.
Glad you enjoyed the map and thanks for writing in!

Well if you upgrade or get a new one, you'll surely have something to compare it's performance to. FPS will for the most part only get better as the game gets optimized more and more, and technology in computers advance. Hopefully it shouldn't be too much worse when the map is fully furnished (it shouldn't be). Thanks for the review and for writing in!

Thanks, it'll be a WHILE before this is done, heck the game might be finished before I get finished with this map even. However, even after spending over 1000 hours making this map, there's still plenty of 'furnishing' (decorating) to do, to make it look like a finished product. Thanks for writing in, and if you have suggestions, feel free to chime-in on our discussion forums using it's tab at the top of this page.

Long loading times do stink, but once it's loaded, you won't have to see a loading screen for a while as there's hours of cruising even at 60~70 mph, the 163 miles of roadway will keep you busy for a while. After that, there's also plenty of jumps, and the ever-present AI feature.

Well, all in due time, wait for more mainstream AMD Ryzen processor releases to 'normalize' processor prices a bit, and a bit of time for newer next-gen mainstream graphics cards to come out (within the next year) and there should be something reasonable in each department for about 150$ (USD) or less (still a lot, but much better than what it was last year), that will get you plenty of graphics and plenty of processor power for not so much 'dough'. If you're a LEO as the name suggests, do enjoy the AI ability of this map to practice chases and PIT's, as it is full AI-enabled, setting AI's SPAN setting on the AI APP will make it use the whole map.

If you mean the shaking, it's merely visual and does not affect the working of the game. The math used for physics is floating point, the numbers are approximate. This wouldn't even be visible if it were the size of say 4x4 miles. The further out you go, the more it shakes. Again, it's merely visual, it doesn't affect the physics, it just wiggles a bit, but I can't do anything about it from here as a mapper. Glad you liked it. Lower reflections for more FPS if you feel you need that, but you should be good to go with that system. --Cheers and TY for the performance data.

Glad you enjoyed the map - sometimes there's just no replacement for SIZE, BIGGER *IS* BETTER! --Game on! :)

Nice PC - That should last you a LONG time. My i7 4790k is a bit aged but is far from out-for-the-count yet - I refuse to update it until it explodes or I throw it out of the side of the house. The 32gb is GOOD, will keep that system relevant, surely that cost a pretty penny with today's prices. I was going to update mine - NOPE not now, not with these prices on RAM.

High reflections really give a lot of poly's to show, so they do stomp on the frame rate a bit and hence your lower fps numbers. I have run this 100% maxed and it does get noticeably slower in some spots, it really shouldn't go below 30 fps by too much on any half-decent video setup because the reflections aren't set to go faster than 30fps (to prevent it from becoming unplayable, it's a map setting). So since the update to 0.9 game version I left it to defaults high detail +basic reflections + shadows and it runs great.

Thanks for posting feedback on how it runs - it helps me know the demographic a little better (who I am making the map for). What I gather is that with 0.9 Beamng.drive version and 0.71 map version it runs MUCH better for everyone. --Cheers
