[REL] BG+ (Bulgaria+) v1.0 (1.46)

[OMNI du 31]

Greetings,

I have decided to "pretend" to be a mapper around Bulgaria and for around a week, I have been making my R&D, defining my road path for the short term and the long term. Already saw more or less what could be achieved and what couldn't be achieved. And even started a little bit.

So, why Bulgaria?

Well, I can't give an exact answer to that. Perhaps it's because my dad is a real life truck driver who owns a logistics company in Bulgaria and I make an emotional connection to him in a way. Or Bulgaria is one of the few places on the map which is barely touched by any map. Or perhaps it is because it isn't a target as high as continuing ProMods Greece or connecting Trondheim to Finnmark.

And why the name BG+?

It's only because many maps out there come up with Extended/Extension or Rebuild or Road to or Project or simply Map and I didn't want to follow the same pattern. Therefore, I asked myself: "Why don't you just put + after it? Brief and explains a lot just like the French way. And you aren't going to produce something revolutionary anyway...".

As a starter, I have decided to add the city of Shumen, BG.

Looks good so far. Make sure to make the terrain varied in a few places to ensure it's not a monotonous profile.

Glad if you like it and thank you for the feedback! I try to spice things up a little bit but they aren't noticeable from that side of the road. I know, I should add some vegetation to that hill as well, but I'll do it after I fix vertex issues in this area. And some probs too...

Ngl, Bulgaria and Romania are also monotonous places irl.

Greetings,

The good news is, I have finished at least 90% of the work in the area between the Belokopitovo junction and the city. The remaining 7.5% goes for the unfinished area and the other 2.5% goes for optimisation and bug fixes.

Less good news is, I have decided to connect city directly to the cloverleaf junction on A2 next to Kaspichan on the east side. The reason is, in all likelihood, it is a more doable solution due to the map scale. Especially considering my skills when it comes to building junctions...

Here are some WIP pics from this week's progress:





I have also completed the entire sign work of that part of the road. However, this one is my personal favourite. Because as far as I remember, there aren't many maps out there which add graffiti on signs like irl
