I didn't realize Norway was this flat, empty and boring. Quite nice they have two huge sidewalks in this emptyness. Looks pretty pointless.

Great sarcasm!

I am working on to add the rest. I think it is most simply to start with the road network and then finish the rest. In some areas are most of the details completed.

Actually, this isn't really that sarcastic. What's the point of showing such a very early-stage WIP shot? There hasn't really been any development in that shot. There's basically nothing to see at all. This picture isn't even worth showing.

True.

You will find a lot more images on my thread in the SCS Software forum. Btw, this is the first map i am creating. The images you will find are more detailed than this one.

Then why bother posting this boring screenshot rather than a more detailed and more interesting one?

I am working now on the scenery, so it will be a while until you see some more screenshots. I have reached already to the 2nd last city that will be in v1.0
I have another city to add but i need to configure the ferryline in the definition.

Just to say, Svalbard will not be included in the map. There are countless reasons to not include Svalbard. Svalbard is a tiny island(not so very tiny, about the size of Denmark in total), low population, tiny roads, no link between the villages like from Longyearbyen-Ny Ålesund-Barentsburg, no paved roads, except in Longyearbyen. One other negative thing is that there is no Google Strettview which is very obvious. One positive thing is that it is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. 76% of the population lives in Longyearbyen. There is ferry connection between Svalbard and the mainland of Norway, but that means the ferry connection is only in Norway, except from Murmansk in Russia, but that one is connected between Murmansk and Barentsburg. Barentsburg was one time occupied by the Russians during the Soviet Union. Before, Barentsburg was owned by the Netherlands in the 1920s, but in 1932 they sold it to the Soviet Union.

Jan Mayen will also not be inlcuded, which is the same reason with Svalbard. It is far worse with Jan Mayen since there are no people living there, and nothing to deliver there and no boat connection, only by air. There is a road on Jan Mayen but that road is only used by the scientists that is travelling to Jan Mayen. They are doing research on the Beerenberg volcano, which is the northernmost subaerial active volcano on the planet.

Svalbard is designated as international territory.
