Base Map Rebuild (CA, NV, AZ) General Discussion Thread

[flight50]

Lmao. Its McCarran for me too. I honestly think its one or the other for the airport. Considering airports are becoming pretty common, I think they should shoot for Reno's airport. Plenty of space for Reno. Vegas really needs a proper strip. The 215 loop would be great but surface streets would work for me as well as long as West Vegas makes it in.

Rainbow Blvd for North and South. Connect it to I-11. Rainbow parallels I-15 well and I-11 just does its thing cutting thru town. 215 would be cool but honestly I'm liking NV-160 much much better. Rainbow connects with it as well. If we got NV-160 connected to I-15, NV-160 can run thru Pahrump for a remote depot or two to Vegas. Then connect NV-160 to US-95. That's a loop that has plenty of space and it fills in a highly unused area of Nevada currently.

There's two potential for PRT off NV-160 here at Bronco Off-Roadeo. There is a Ford Bronco coming too. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9886389 ... FQAw%3D%3D

There's also retailers Walmart and Home Depot off NV-160. There's 2 grocery stores with Albertson's and Smith's. Pahrump if not marked can be a linear town with access for only NV-160. But its a hidden gem. Thanks to Sora for finding it some time ago. I just bring it up in hopes that it can make the cut. There's not a lot of meat with Nevada. So any town with marked potential, should probably make it if there's space. Pahrump seems to have plenty of space. Its 64.6 miles from Vegas along NV-160. Its 98.7 miles taking the longer way around. If they can cramp all those roads into the Black Hills, surely we can get a denser Vegas+ West Vegas and Pahrump. I wanna see the Reworks team push Nevada. Its such a 2016 state and with all the tricks they can do now, Nevada can really open up and give us more like we never had before. Too much wasted space in Nevada. Use as much of it as you can is how I'm hoping it goes.

Yeah I'll die before I call it Harry Reid.... McCarran for life lol. Though I agree, Reno is probably better suited to have a deliverable airport.

Honestly I still believe they did Route 66 because of the Illinois Chicago to Los Angeles. Not to take away from the 80 but Los Angeles connecting is important. Also the Birthday of Route 66 so it makes sense.

[Gormanbros]

I'm absolutely calling it Harry Reid, that's its name. Things are renamed all the time, and hyperbolic reactions are kind of crazy for an airport name. Anyways to stay on topic yeah it'll stay scenic. It's too tight a location and they'd be crazy to prioritize Reid over a larger strip

[Brendan0620]

I never knew Las Vegas/Harry Reid Airport had a different namesake a few years ago. Well, "the more you learn" I guess.

But yeah, I'm in favor of prioritizing The Strip as that's where many players will want to be driving in LV. The airport could go in Reno if I had to choose between Reno and LV and there was space for either.

[interstate trav]

I feel that driving Las Vegas Blvd will be very important to Las Vegas. It’s such a nice drive and that would be somewhere to drive to at night.

I want to make a note of something here -
I hope that the I-17 Flex Lanes will be represented when they do the rest of Arizona.

Current google maps, show it at 6 miles.
The connecting parts for those Flex Lanes, would eat a chunk out of the road between Camp Verde and Phoenix.
Possible, but what you would get ingame, would be Flex Lane from I-17/AZ-303 Loop to Camp Verde.

It was merely a suggestion because well, it is likely a mountainous area that will be mapped anyways, so…I’m all about unique road or map features.

[Tristman]

It would be a cool unique feature, but with map scale this section would be really short. I’m not sure they would be able to really do it justice.
