Release date: September/October 2009

Information
I already announced that I am working on a new project several months ago.
So, hereby I present my project:
A new map based on Los Angeles and made from scratch, what means a lot of time has to be put to make a good map.
There will be many new objects to make the map look American.
To save time, this map is not based on a real part of Los Angeles.
Because creating a new map like this takes an immense amount of time, I will add more information to this topic occasionaly.
As soon the map is playable and full of objects, I will release a beta version.
There is no way I can predict a release date for the beta version, because I can't really tell how much time I still have to put in this project.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details
This map will include:
- The LA River
- A highly detailed bridge
- Alot of new objects
- New buildings (bank, supermarkets, office buildings etc...)
- Small seaport
- Small forest area
Other notes:
- The map won't contain a highway.
- The map won't contain an airport.
- The map won't contain more fire stations, police stations or hospitals than the default LA Mod freeplay maps already do.
- The map won't contain new open/accesible houses (yet).
- The map won't contain new or improved LA Mod functions (no gameplay changes).
- The tunnel won't be accessible.
- The LA River is not accessible (yet).

Civilian vehicles
Not only a new map makes the game look American. New cars are probably just as important.
So MikeyPI is helping me with some new civilian vehicles for the mod. They will replace the original cars in the mod.
Right now, we've added the following civilian cars:
1994 Chevrolet Caprice
2007 Dodge Charger
2002 Honda Accord
2002 Ford Crown Victoria
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe
1989 Ford Crown Victoria LTD
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
2007 Chevrolet Impala
2006 Cadillac DTS Sedan
2006 Ford Econoline Cargo
2006 Ford Econoline Passenger
2006 Chevrolet Express
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Thanks to MikeyPI, Carman, Martijntjuh, nfspdf and lash00t0ut for the cars.
The Cadillac DTS can already be found in the latest released version of the mod.
We've planned to replace as many cars as possible for the first release of the map, but replacing all cars will take a while.
