Against all odds (and despite BeamNG's editor trying to crash every 5 minutes), a fresh update for the Midtown Madness Chicago map port is finally live. I actually fixed the lightning and materials instead of just staring at the orange sunset bug all night.
Hey everyone,
Against all odds (and despite BeamNG's editor trying to crash every 5 minutes), a fresh update for the Midtown Madness Chicago map port is finally live. I actually fixed the lightning and materials instead of just staring at the orange sunset bug all night.
What I Fixed While Questioning My Life Choices:
-
Proper PBR Textures: Upgraded the ancient PS2 era ground materials to proper PBR
-
Wet Asphalt & Puddle Reflections: Dialed in the wetness shaders so roads and sidewalks look properly soaked. Enjoy watching your cars slide around on glossy reflections.
-
Actual Chicago Weather : Replaced the eye searing default sunset with a grey, depressing storm system .. complete with heavy rain, and proper cloud coverage.
-
Streetlights That Actually Turn On: Fixed emissive glows and street lamps so you aren't driving blind through the dark Chicago gloom
-
FPS Optimization (You’re Welcome): Cleaned up duplicate cloud layers, broken file paths, and bad material calls. It should run noticeably smoother now.. unless your GPU is powered by a toaster.
Relive the late-90s PC gaming era! The iconic Midtown Madness 1 Chicago map has been brought back to life in BeamNG.drive.. Combining pure nostalgia with modern driving physics
Features:
-
67 km of Nostalgic Roads: Cruise through tight alleyways, wide open highways, scenic and classic city landmarks.
-
Upscaled & Optimized Textures: Enhanced retro visuals that look crisp while keeping the original vibe intact.
-
Small Mod Size & High FPS: Fully optimized geometry for buttery smooth performance on any setup.
-
AI Traffic Support: Full traffic grid ready for chaotic city racing, police chases, and sandbox fun.
-
Diverse Foliage: Replaced and updated foliage bringing fresh life to the city streets.
-
Cinematic & Photo Ready: Pure 90s atmosphere—ideal for video edits, photo shoots, or just soaking in the nostalgia.

@Alexandre_98 I had a fun time playing this as an MM1 lover! Thank you for your work in getting this gem of a map into the game! I was wondering which version of Midtown Madnes this is you used to port the map into BeamNG? It looks like an early beta to my best judgment after playing through it. We have a community called Madess Crew where we preserve the Madness-titled games and would love to get some info about this!
i get this map is from the 2000s, but why is it paid?
Your lucky I'm like Fry. "Take MY MONEY!!!" I remember it clearly. Summer of 2000, Dad and Mom both leaving for work. I would jump on the ol' cow computer (Gateway PC) and throw that disc in and away we went. 32yrs old now btw.
хорошая карта, но жалко что она платная. ведь я думала что посещение в мой город будет бесплатным
why do you NEVER put a paid tag getting me all excited n ****
I'm glad someone is making maps like this in my city, but it's really too bad that you have to pay for it. Good job, creator!
я рада что кто то делает такие карты в моем городе, но то что она платная это очень печально. молодец автор
it sucks bro
delete.
bro free map. we appreciate the work. But man almost feels like that beauty of the work is gate kept.
come on paid for a lower quality mod?
I would expect for paid at least a higher quality version, since you said this one supports low end PCs but no..
@??? u’re clearly too young to recognize 1999 perfection... Its okay, stick to the shiny new maps, let the OG gamers enjoy the nostalgia
Another pay mod? I was so excited to see a new map and then I see that patreon link.. how disappointing :/
@Alexandre_98 Yea ai takes a while to make a script to import it into the game
u copy mods and make them bad and paid
@felix_816yt nobody’s holding u hostage bro
@Alexandre_98 Even Garry's Mod has good maps that aren't paid; they put a lot of love into them.
@felix_816yt work isnt free my guy this isnt a 5 minute job
