    Hello,
    I am determined to create a map of my hometown and want to start with some sort of heightmap to import. Does anyone know if this is possible; what file type I need and where it would go?
    Thanks

    I had seen that you can import a black and white height map into beamng as a terrain in the world editor, I was never successfully able to do it. I did a hack job once where I used a blender plug in to create a 3d satelite model of the terrain and imported it as an object mostly as a reference. I would reccommend searching youtube for "importing terrain data into beamng" or "beamng satellite heightmap" or something. I know that there are websites that will make the greyscale map that you would need. Hope this helps.
