    I'm working on my first real level, and I'm following the tutorial by Fundador (http://www.beamng.com/threads/2764-...ain-for-Beam-NG-(in-depth-guide-with-pictures). I'm up to the roads construction part, but I noticed that the lighting is all quirky, in certain angles it looks like the lighting has to "reset", so it dims real low then brightens up and when I move a few feet it flashes bright then dims back down to normal. Its like it keeps re-lighting the scene. Not sure what's going on, maybe a setting somewhere in the editor for scattersky, but its just annoying being flashed all the time. Any ideas? Otherwise, that tutorial is really easy to follow and a great read. Thanks for any input!! Got the terrain heightmap, title, description, skybox, textured terrain and some roads laid out.

    Oh another issue is when I was laying out the roads with the click-point technique, after a while, the roads stopped laying out. Its as if the game reached the road limit, but theres not really much there. Should I lay out a small part of roads then start another small part instead of doing all the roads at once?

    You have to delete the sun (in scene menue)
    But not delete the sky you´ve made.

    Here you can see the skeleton for the roads I started, but half of them don't even have that NO TEXURE texture on them? Not sure if I should continue on the way I have been doing it, or stop and fix whats wrong. not even sure if its really a problem yet.

    guess so...too many points? or just something went wrong? All I did was click the path for the road, and on one of the clicks it just stopped the orange mesh but continued the skeleton...no biggie if I gotta re do it, not like I put more than 5 minutes laying out these roads lol

    The road editor does that to me every now and then, it takes some getting use to. Good luck on the map. :)
