I actually live in the area so this is really neat! Westcliffe is a perfect map for fs25 and i think Its really Cool that you are taking on the task of making it! If you ever need any reference photos of the area feel free to hit me up on Discord [OphirWolf]
Anyone and anybody can become a tester. Only thing that's important to me is you need to be in my discord chat to report bugs / problems. Testing will begin in the next month on the first beta release.. I'll update this post and make a devlog post alongside it to keep everyone updated. I've completely restarted from the 22 version.
I am a little bit of a map junkie never really finding what I'm looking for. I'm more into the forestry than farming aspects of FS and I get into different productions from the forestry lines as well. I really liked the Silverrun map for this. When I look for a map what I really like to see is a highway system that has a purpose and makes sense. So many maps have roads that just wander. A good highway system will make the map seem larger or smaller depending upon how it's laid out. Alma, Missouri is a good example of a standard size map that feels much bigger due to layout. Griffin Indiana is another good layout. The ElmCreek Layout is pretty good with the highway layout but has an almost European feel rather than American due to the layout of everything else although it isn't a bad map all things considered. I look for a map with a town that is small but realistic with a purpose. Towns have Houses, Gas Stations, Banks, Grocery Stores and at least one sell point and an industry of some sort. They also need an area for the town to grow. I like a little industrial park for this. Good American road markings are nice to help with the immersion. I love watching map projects. Good luck with this one.
Spot on with this, im european, but would love a highway on a map for when you have a big farm to transport grains with a semi truck.. Elmcreek does feel european its just the roads that are different then normal.. Like small bridges on the map they don't make sense.. I hope fs25 can be a little better with basegame maps..
I am asuming you are still working on it, I hope you could add something like a highway, and a train station. A dairy farm and a grain farm, maybe a few forgotten farms that you can buy and renovate into bigger farms with the land around it. Some ranches maybe, im not known with colorado only been to oregon once lol

what are some features you'd like to see on Westcliffe??
