Faroe Islands and Iceland Development

Ah, nice.
I can't wait until Iceland is done.
You have made this map very good from what i have seen from the pictures, Purno.

Is the road between Keflavík International Airport and Reykavik 4 laned? In real life i think that is the road with the highest standard on Iceland.

It is. A small section of Ring Road 1 is either 3 or 4 laned, too (2v2 or 1v2/2v1), mainly near Reykjavík (They just made a large section of 1 between Reykjavík and Selfoss 2v2 where it was 2v1 or 1v1 before), along with 41 to Keflavík.

For the most part, though, the roads are just 1v1 or even just one-lane at times. And many roads, especially in-land, are unpaved.

Btw, does anyone live inland in Iceland?

Nobody lives inland Iceland. All villages are at the coast.

[Hektor123]

Ehh, no.


Almost everyone is living at the coast.

Snowy landscapes are tough to make...

Can see it is tough to make Purno, but great work as always

Lovely scenery, just like Iceland! I love that lonely bench

Wow! Stunning bridge Purno!

- Monuments, like the one I use as Keflavík. There's no Iceland-specific model for the real monument at Keflavík. Which means I either have to re-use another model as a resemblance, or have no monument at all.

Yeah, and that's my point: It's better to use no model at all than to put a landmark at a wrong place. Who would mind if there was no model at the airport? But a wrong landmark would bother me. By the way, I didn't know either that the model is from France but now that I know I find it somewhat irritating. The point about a landmark is that it belongs to one certain place in the map. Well, that's what I think. But it's your mod, so make your decision

- Bridges, which I can't do without. There's a bridge in Iceland IRL, I find the closest resemblance. There's a very very very limited amount of bridge models available. If the Czech bridge is the best look-alike, I use that one.

Well, that bridge is not necessary. It's a bicycle or pedestrian bridge, at least not for cars. And there are (maybe not many) generic models to use for that case. Maybe there should be some more generic models to use at several places? I think that would certainly be better than to "abuse" a landmark bridge

That's only my opinion, your work on Iceland looks fine, anyway. I just think you should be more careful when using models ... and delete the misplaced models from the map. I'm not sure, if I could convice you, though. =x

And the bridge in the post before looks a bit like the Eiffel Tower. But that's fine in that case
