Looks great! Can't wait to see more screenshots as it progresses.

haha Great stuff Marc. Is that the Jack in the Box I see at the other end of that screen. Talk about accurate detail!!

[Bananarama]

Jack is there and I just finished up Mojave Liquor and the Best Motel textures. :)

I just remembered, Marc. Don't forget the chamber of commerce

[Bananarama]

No worries - all that's viewable from trackside will be covered. ;)

Hi Marc,

Looks very good.
Those sky textures is without a doubt, the best I have seen in any sim, period .

Regards Claus

Thank you, Claus, but I'm not too pleased with the way they've turned out. The idea was to use a single texture on a sky dome, and I even went so far as to remove wind speed to keep it from rotating. Unfortunately, the sun is always plastered at 11-o-clock, and loading another route and then coming back to this one will have the sky tilted at an odd angle. I'll keep tinkering, however.

This is AMAZING I love it. Great job so far!
If you need any reference pictures i'd be happy to help(since I live in the bakersfield area)

Hey. What happened to this? I for one would REALLY like to see this finished! Is there anything new?

[Bananarama]

It's been slow going. Mainly I've been working on roads and matching ground textures and also finished some details on a few buildings.

Hwy 58 and Business 58 interchange:

Looking across from Fastrip gas station @ Mojave-Barstow Hwy:

I'll try and update more often.

The attention to detail is pretty stunning......ESPECIALLY on the signage. Every little graphic and text is there. I figured you were pretty good, but didn't realize it was to this extent. Kudos Hack and look forward to the updates!

[Bananarama]

Thanks for the compliments.

Every little graphic and text is there.

I get too caught up in the details and sometimes miss the big picture. It makes for a few nice screens, but getting anything done takes me forever.
