What a show. I'll tell you what, you could take this desert, and stick it. My life may be a world of pain, but from here on out it's gonna be cool, comfortable, air-conditioned pain. ~Micheal De Santa V: It's only the downtown area that's high detail meshes. I'm hard at work to bring you the rest. I highly suggest turning texture quality to high. There is an LOD version of the full map in a seperate reply below (page 4). v0.1.1 (fixes, scaling test) v0.1.2 (full LOD map, water, fog) IV: It's only the first island and no LOD yet, but does pop out. It doesn't have forest items implemented. v0.1 (1st island) v0.1.1 (ai paths) When updating from previous versions, please delete the old version and clear the sub folders of the temp folder (located in the same directory as your mods folder) of any daveeyy & letsgobowling folders. Updates will alternate at random between both maps. Whats going on?: V: Finishing up the LODmap. Getting the next chunk ready for the HDmap. IV: I've found a way to get the vegetation and props out of IV. I've also noticed the map wasn't extracted with a clean copy of the game. Everything is being redone to have the original map with vegetation.

That said, it is on hold till i get some free time again. Im also wanting to hold off until the next title releases.
i was expecting a blimp when i saw the email notification. yet this is impressive. (still needs images before it can be trusted)
it’s just like a few blocks of the city where the “Premium Autos” dealership is and the highways around it (they don’t go anywhere).
what you see has been done so that i can get more of the map in, i had the full detail buildings in, but was way to taxing. Although the roads are all the final mesh. Im sorry beam doesnt stream the map in parts
It's not as bad as I imagined. Would it be possible to more port the map in some efficient way like gkoffy did for assetto corsa? https://www.patreon.com/posts/gta-v-release-96036214
Proper LODs can fix that. We already got Fairhaven from NFS, Shuto Expressway C1 and other large maps and they work fine. I tested this map in its current state and got 250 average FPS with default LODs (200+ with maxed out). This is more than on any other default BeamNG map. So there is plenty of room to add assets.
Everything is still temporary, especially LOD sets on forest items. Im first going to try and get as much of the map out before adding more LODs, adjusting them and all that. Ive been trying to get just the floor of each building to be high detail, and whilst it does work, it will limit how much of the map i can import. Therefore im leaving detailing for the last part. In technical terms with high detail meshes, it lags when traveling between opposite parts of the city, mainly because beam needs everyrhing loaded on ram.
