The reason I made this thread now, and not upon release, was so that I could have one place to share development progress and screenshots. This map will not be released anytime soon. Currently about 70% of the map is ported, but that's not counting props-trees, lampposts, newspaper boxes, fences, road blocks, etc., all of those have to be added, and that process alone will take a long time. Please be aware that this project will take a very long time.
I don't plan to port the other boroughs at this time. This is a direct port of Algonquin, the largest borough in Liberty City, based on Manhattan. Off the heels of all the 3D Universe maps comes GTA IV's Liberty City, ported to BeamNG.
