Japan Island v1.2 0.33.x

A 4x4 km map with a couple of islands.

Cons:

- Quantity is more important than quality.

- Low quality textures.

- Collision problems (rocks)

- Some sections have strange road layout.

- Uneven driveways.

- Map view may work with delays.

- LOD pop-up window.

- Lights don't look the best.

- Blurry road labels, except for AFx16.

- Road a little too wide.

- Lack of off-roading.

- Textures flicker (some).

- Grid overlap (some).

- Cities have a closed layout.

- Sound timing can be unsynchronized.

Most of the minuses could be fixed with more care and attention to detail, but that would make this multi-year project beyond time. (Map made in about 6 months)

Warning: the map has MULTIPLE light sources (and many of them use shadows), so a good video card is required at night.

The author recommends GTX 1060, but even on 3060 the fps is so-so in places.

In version 1.2:
