Just a couple comments from what I can see so far:
The town area around the tractor dealership is kind of small and bland. Looks almost like a housing project instead of a town.
I played on a modded map with roads similar to the ones you have. They're kind of an eyesore, like every single road was paved and painted the day before. Not very realistic in that respect. Hopefully yours will at least lie properly instead of being the disjointed mess that ones I've seen are.
Identical hedges lining every single highway, side road and access road... for me that just looks far too constructed. Realism is a big thing for me. This almost looks like it was stamped down instead of built over time.

One more thing I forgot to add. You should put images, especially when yu have numerous ones, in a spoiler tab so folks with slower loading browsers don't have to sit and wait for a flood of images.

Another edit.

I didn't realize that Great States was your map. Those are the roads I was referring to. No offense but they look like hell in Great States. Clunky and overlapping, blocky, like huge slab had been overlapped, especially on hills and intersections.

well i accept you feedback and will see what i can do to make it more real, as for the roads we have made them in maya so there are 1 solid piece so there is no seems, so i dont see how you have seen them in another map we decided to do this as 1 solid piece for that exact reason, making the sections sit perfectly is a real pain, and they would not "roll" like they do now. flow up and down as smooth as silk, we agree that the paint yellow and white should be worn alot more, i will alter the texture files to see if we can achieve this. Hedges are from the pack and are the best suited to this map. Yes the town does look like a housing project but we are just working with what we have, we could model more rural type Building but that could take weeks/ months to get a good variety.

Thanks greatly for your feedback and over time we will be producing these rural type buildings.

The available buildings are fine, really, but the way they're laid out in a single neat row all the way around the dealership just doesn't look like a real town. People build houses with oddly shaped yards, or a little crooked just to be a jerk... that's what makes a town.

[fsmodding]

well we thought this would be the best option as the building are square and contain no "garden spaces" new building are being made and will be replacing these but as stated that may take some time for a variety.

These are just map objects have no functions, you can convert the mods if you choose, but would need permission to upload them anywhere.

I also have the map with the roads that seem to have been built in a shop and placed on the ground by an incompetent workforce, lol. I really like this map, but have one question about it. Where are all the water troughs? I can only find one and it is a long way from the farm?
Great job on the map by the way. I have a lot of fun with it.

The map your playing is the great states? this topic was created for a new map we are working on Visit our website to get support for other mods we have made.
