UPDATE: 08/03/2020

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.

Oakvale Village has been expaned towards the River Maple. More station links have been established to allow for routes to be added at a later date.

A new area in Sandhaven has been created and is named Coastal View which the sightseeing buses will serve, these will run every 10 minutes between Sandhaven/Shadowbridge Boundary (Pavillion Shopping Centre) and Coastal View with.

Routes have not been finalised but I can say that route 99 will be the route between Sandhaven/Shadowbridge Boundary (Pavillion Shopping Centre) and Coastal View. Schollars Services (839/840) will run between Mapleford Depot, Aldmarsh Village and Oakvale High School the exact routes to be confirmed.

For some reason, I didn't get a notification when you posted this...
What can I say, everything looks great!
I would change two things though. :)
1.) Add grass below trees. I realise everything's WIP but the trees standing on the cobbles looks odd.
2.) The university area looks good, but also, with the approximately 10m high wall around it, it looks a bit odd... maybe it would look better after you've added Flora, and/or maybe lowered the wall altogether.
Great work though! Really excited for this map! :)

Thanks ???? forgot to add that the university is sort of on a plateau and the wall goes around the base of the banks that the university is built on, hence giving the allusion of it being a really tall wall.

With the trees on the cobbles which screenshot are they in?

all feedback is great fully received

Bit of a big update today, a number of areas have been reworked, these include Skirtington Road which leads to Mapleford business Centre. Maple Hollow showground has been renamed as Cedarwood Grove Showground.

Winterbridge is now Shadowvale City Centre (this has resulted in the creation of Shadowvale City Football Club) and the university has been likewise renamed to Pine Hill University which can be shortened to PHU.

A new housing development called Cefflyn Mews just outside of Aldmarsh Village (much to the disgust of local residents) is starting to be built, the area between Shadowvale City and Shadowport will be known as Shadowvale Moor.

The road between Shadowport and Shadowvale Moor will be known as the Iron vale expressway which for cars is a 70 mph road.

Safety signage has been created and installed into Mapleford Depot and operator signage has been added to all depots with exception to Shadowport

Sycamore retail Park is coming along nicely with only cars to be added to the large car park

Looks like you're making some good progress! All i would suggest is that you vary the trees along roads a bit, when you connect them to the spline they will all be the exact same rotation and distance away from each other. Best way to do it is forget about connecting them to the spline and placing them individually, with a slight variation on height/type of tree, it can be time consuming but this little change makes quite a drastic difference.

Good luck with the rest of your build. :)

Update 01/05/2020

Work is again progressing nicely within the map there have been several new additions, Shadowport has had major changes resulting in a new 2 lane dual carriageway that links Shadowport to the inner areas of the map such as Oakvale Village, Aldmarsh Village, Maple Hollow, Shadowvale City Centre, Luxington* and Sandhaven.

The map now has a Town Gas Works, a Cemetery and a High Street (can you spot a theme?)

There will be quite a few routes on the map

MAJOR UPDATE 17/05/2020*

Mapleshire becomes Western Counties
After much deliberation and looking at the quality of recently released maps, I took the decision to stop development of Mapleshire and restart with a new map known as Western Counties, this allows me to move away from the Maple Prefix place names and have a more vaired selection of place names, It has also allowed the squishing of bugs within AI Traffic not abiding by road rules.

The map will be loosely based off On the Buses routes and locations with aditional places from the original map I was creating. The following locations will be included in the new map:

  1. Luxton Hospital
  2. Luxton Mail Delivery Centre & iKEA Luxton
  3. Luxton Bus Depot
  4. Luxton Fairview Estate (Near Depot)
  5. Luxton Gas Works 5
  6. Luxton Cemetery Gates
  7. Luxton High Street
  8. Mapleford
  9. Sandhaven
  10. Cedarwood Grove
  11. Shadowport
The following routes are confirmed at present:

10 -Luxton Depot to Luxton Mail Depot/IKEA - Luxton Hospital - Luxton Depot
11 Luxton Depot - Gas Works - Luxton Depot - Luxton Depot - Luxton Fairview Estate - Cemetery Gatew
12 Luxton High Street - Towns End Lane - Luxton High Street
13 Luxton Depot to Sandhaven via Fairview Estate - Luxton (Queens Park Flats) - Gas Works - A194 - Sandhaven Bauhaus - Sandhaven Seafront

and more to come

####### UPDATE 19/07/2020 ########

So I though I'd update you all on the progress of Western Counties, a new village has been created called Aldmarsh, it leads to the Gas Works and Ikea.

From the depot you go along the A494, which leads you to Fairview Estate which convenietnly connects to Western Counties hospital. after the hospital traffic lights you can turn either left or right with left taking you through Aldmarsh to the Gas Works, and turning right which takes you to Regent Way Business Park. Straight on will take you evenutally to Sandhaven with turnings for Carlin Gate Shops, PineView Farm and Pine Hill University. Another update soon.

update 24/10/2020

Work was progressing at a steady state, but has come to a halt,
1, because i cba at the moment
2, the constant berating of peoples map building skills on live streams has put me off carrying on with the map (it will NEVER be up to their standards)

Work may resume in the future but at the time of writing it wont be this year.

Thanks to the people who have supported me.

Don't worry dude, those people complaining are the ones that probably haven't even opened the Map Editor and seen just how complicated building a new map is...

You do you and dont feel pressured to complete, focus on yourself first, OMSI is just a game ????
