That looks great, indeed. Also, having seen the plan, I think it's well-thought - the only thing that I wondered about were country roads. Seems like you're removing some vanilla country roads that might not look so bad and I don't know if that's a great idea.

Looks great Purno But I never realised the A7 in Groningen had traffic lights on it

Seems a bit strange, since normally a motorway should not have any traffic lights on it.

The N7 in Groningen is an oddball with it's at-grade intersections, which do exist, by the way. And it used to be worse, when the N7 in Sneek also had traffic lights (it was a locally downgraded A7).

**EDIT** I just looked again at the screenshots and on the last one, the A7/E22 sign for Amsterdam looks like it's facing in the wrong direction. The cursor in the mini-map is facing east, not west.

These signs will be replaced anyway by the new system

I agree that they don't look bad, but they either look out of place or they are in the way of more important things (like the A67 or Eindhoven)

So no space for the country roads Brussels - Lille and Brugge - Calais that are already in-game?

Just a general thought about citynames on signs.. Like example the n34 having Luik and Osnabrück as destination in Groningen is maybe good to navigate without gps but not really realistic.. What about local city names like Emmen and Coevorden..even they will not be city's ever built.. Just a idea though

That will all be possible (and applied) when the new signage system will be implemented

My Belgian team mates decided to remove them. This has all been thought out.

Right decision, definitely The new plan looks so much better. Finally the map of Belgium will look much more realistic!

Although this is the Benelux Rebuilding Project, when I saw Lille it made me wonder... is there ever going to be a rebuild of northeastern France? It's not built very realistically... for example the A1 between Lille and Paris is completely missing and represented by a country road, Reims is full of at-grade intersections, etc. I know Kutchek is busy building parts of France much further south, so I wouldn't expect him to improve these areas anytime soon. But as it's another area that is mostly the same as the SCS vanilla map, which borders areas that will be covered by both the BRP and the ARP, I hoped that it might be under consideration for a rebuild.

Anyway was just wondering if anyone had considered that. This is definitely the BRP thread though... so I'll just say keep up the good work with the Benelux countries; I look forward to a much better in-game driving experience with them!

Distance or signs will be added as the Autobahn Rebuilding Project?

[Rocar 512E]

No, coevorden as scenery city with 1 or 2 companies that are part of Zwolle.

Again, I really don't want overkill.

Pretty sad, it's a nice city

Hey!

Long time no see on the forum:)

I've been quite busy lately, but fortunately today I had a lot of time to map!
Instead of telling where I took the screenshots, let's just guess where the exact location is.
I tried to build the scenery as close to reality as possible, so it should not be too hard.

Some of the screenshots are older work I did not show yet:

Location 1:














Location 2:






Location 3:







enjoy!

The pics look so beautiful I'm left speechless! I think these locations are probably near Dutch-Belgium border, but any closer than that I don't know Again, outstanding work you're doing in Benelux!
