    Hi, welcome to the Driv3r Project.
    screenshot_2022-12-24_00-33-03.png screenshot_2022-12-24_00-45-16.png screenshot_2022-12-24_00-36-25.png

    This famous game has three maps: Miami, Nice and Istanbul. Each map has its own characteristics and environment. BeamNG features like traffic are among the plans. Maps are currently not performing perfectly due to the way they are transferred. To play the maps with an acceptable framerates on low settings I recommend a minimum of 4-6gb vram gpu and at least 16gb ram.

    This project is started in late summer 2022 and still continues steadily.




    Features
    -Ai traffic
    -Night (street light) support
    -Better visibility (if you know what I mean from the original game)
    -Beamng and some OG missions
    -Good drivability for it's age
    -In total, 300+km of roads

    Ongoing Issues
    -First load of the map(s) might take couple minutes, please be patient
    -Underground roads and parking areas flooded because of the waterplane
    -Some landmark indoor areas not imported with the map
    -Because these maps are imported as sector by sector, the performance on low-spec pc's are very limited
    -All the objects are static other than the green parts of the trees and bushes

    Credits/Thanks:
    Fireboyd78 from the Driver Madness Community : for his driv3r map preview tool,
    Car_killer: for his general guide and help, optimizing street lights.
    Gamergull: for his general help about the missions.
    james_uk: for his motivation.

    01/03/24 - first beta release
    03/03/24 - (istanbul) added lights in the parks, small airoad fix around taksim park
    07/03/24 - (miami, nice, istanbul) fixed the compression type of the textures, fixed the area size info of the maps
    (nice) added lights to the other type of the lamps
    (istanbul) fixed some of the textures

    Download Link: HERE (mega) or HERE (gdrive)

    This project took at least 2 years to get this state.

    I'd say that there are many original BeamNG cars that perfectly suit the Driv3r world.

    i didn't say they don't, but for the nostalgia it would be sick to also port the cars over or atleast a small few

    Hi, I haven't touched to the files or the game since the start of this year. Probably won't gonna work on it until the spring or summer, We'll see. Thanks for your help suggestion, there is no time trial planned at the moment.

    I really hope you are going to continue with this. I used to love the Driver Series and played this game for ages. Always liked it more than grand theft auto but unfortunately the series is not continued anymore :(
    If you manage to get this maps to BeamNG you are my hero <3

    Hey, thanks for the messages. The latest update I can show is addition of the g2g missions to the d3 maps:

    This way the maps will be more interactive for the players.
