This thread is dedicated to the map improvements and additions on the current map areas.
What has been done so far:
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:
- New streetlight models for the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Sweden:
- New power pylon models:
- Shortened the dividing stripes. 2:1 and 3:1 stripes are much more commonly found in Europe than 1:1 stripes.
- All route signs have their official fonts and route shields:
THE NETHERLANDS
- Rebuild interchanges near Rotterdam:
- Rebuild interchanges in Amsterdam:
- Redesigned signage system:
- Replaced the road textures to represent the new Duurzaam Veilig markings:
SWEDEN
- Redesigned the interchanges near Helsingborg and Jönköping:
- Added scenery on the E6 between Malmö and Helsingborg:
- Added scenery on the rv40 (including Ulricehamn):
- Redesigned signage system:
- Added reflection to the water:
- Added painted road arrows to Swedish roads:
On my short term to-do list:
- Add some more scenery to the E6 between Göteborg and Helsingborg
- Add scenery only exits (AKA, unaccesable) and city development near Ljungby and Halmstad.
For long term plans, I have these points:
- Create a new road, the E22 from Malmö to Kalmar to Norrköping. Create Linköping as well as a twin city with Norrköping
- Create rv13 to Ystad for a ferry to Poland.
- Add Örebo to the map.
- Turn the rv75 (Sodralanken) into a tunnel, and redesign the scenery in Stockholm overall (needs a lot more water and bridges).
- Add Utrecht to the Netherlands
- Add the A2, A12 and A28 to the Netherlands, remove the A50 due to redundanct functionality.
- Add Antwerpen to Belgium.
- Review other Scandinavian cities to look where these can be improved.
Best,
