Arctic Circle SWDN — a vast and atmospheric northern map that takes you deep beyond the Arctic Circle, where daylight is scarce, snow is deep, and harsh weather conditions turn every journey into a true test of skill. Designed to match the scale of BeamNG’s Italy map, this location delivers an immersive exploration and driving experience across endless snowy roads, mountains, and dense forests, all wrapped in persistent snowfall that significantly reduces visibility and raises the challenge level for both navigation and racing.

Main features and configurations:
– 4096×4096 map size, equivalent to the Italy map, offering a large and cohesive open-world environment for long-distance driving and exploration
– Miles upon miles of snow-covered dirt roads, mountain passes, and forest trails where it is easy to get lost, enhancing the sense of isolation and realism
– Fully PBR-based landscape materials, ensuring high-quality visuals, realistic surface response, and consistent lighting across all terrain types
– Continuous active snowfall across the map, limiting visibility and making reconnaissance, racing, and free roaming noticeably more demanding
– Six rally stages with a total length of over 40 miles, including a massive 20-mile straight mega stage entirely set on snowy roads
– Sanctioned AI races on asphalt, dirt, snow, and ice tracks, providing structured competition across multiple surface types
– Unsanctioned street races against randomly selected opponents, taking place on both mountain roads and highways for unpredictable challenges
– Six cops-and-robbers missions, evenly split between three scenarios where you play as law enforcement and three where you take the role of the suspect
– Eight towns with dynamic lighting, carefully designed to capture the atmosphere of long, dark Arctic nights
– Custom deep-snow terrain and snow-covered road surfaces, complemented by custom particle effects for enhanced immersion
– Numerous hidden easter eggs scattered throughout the map, including the Monolith and 10 snowmen waiting to be discovered
– Industrial zones tailored for players interested in long-haul trucking, logistics, and other hard-working activities
– Custom Arctic truck configurations and authentic Swedish license plates, adding regional character and realism
