Take Me Home, Country Roads
As work continues on Loma, Montana, my focus has been adding more detail as well as buildings, farms, etc. One of the areas that I am really excited about improving are the country roads. I messed around with the basegame "stone" and was able to edit the textures as well as the size to create actual gravel roads!! This is a painstaking process but I think it will be worth it and, to my knowledge, no one has done this on any other map. Not only is there 3D gravel applied to the roads, but the roads have multiple textures to them and an obvious path like you see on most gravel roads in real life. I figured that you would be spending far more time on gravel than on pavement in this map so why not make them look great. If you love detail, then I really think you will appreciate this addition.
As for other news, I plan to release the final beta for the map by the middle of April. If all goes according to plan, the version after that will be a final product. I feel like each beta has been a large leap from the previous and this one should be too. Here are the major upgrades you can expect:
-Error/Bug Fixes (thanks to those who are searching for them and reporting them)
-Custom Seasonal Foliage
-Additional Custom Decorative Buildings
-Farm #3
-Beef Feedlot
-Custom Gravel Roads
-Sellpoint #2
-Custom Signs
-Three Additional Authentic Grain Elevators
-General Map Details
As always, thanks for sticking with me and helping to make this a quality map for the community to enjoy. Oh, and, now that you are all singing the old John Denver tune.......................you're welcome.

Looks great! I was always super impressed that you super elevated the turns on the FS17 map, attention to detail like that really makes a map feel like the real thing!
