Tunnel & Paleto Bay - Premium Infrastructure Map Pack with Free Connection Road Update

Expand your FiveM server's transportation network with the ultimate infrastructure bundle that connects Paleto Bay to Los Santos through realistic tunnel systems and bridge architecture. This premium map pack delivers four meticulously crafted maps designed to work together seamlessly, creating immersive travel routes that transform how players navigate your server. Whether you need a standalone tunnel solution or the complete connectivity package, these professionally optimized maps add realism, roleplay opportunities, and visual polish to your server's geography without compromising performance.

What's Included in This Bundle

The 4-Map Bundle includes everything you need for complete server connectivity: the brand-new Tunnel Paleto Bay (standalone or bundled), the original Tunnel Los Santos for urban underground transit, Bridge V2 with improved structural detail and LODs, and the exclusive Connection Road that links all maps into a cohesive network. All maps feature custom level-of-detail models for optimal performance, carefully edited NPC pathing to prevent traffic issues, and professional texture work that matches GTA V's aesthetic. You're getting infrastructure that looks native to the game while adding critical transportation routes your players will use daily.

NEW: Tunnel Paleto Bay

The latest addition to the infrastructure collection, Tunnel Paleto Bay creates a realistic underground route connecting Paleto Bay to the broader map network. This isn't a simple retextured tunnel - it features unique geology, proper lighting that transitions from daylight to tunnel illumination, emergency exit tunneling, and support structures that give it distinct character. The tunnel includes breakdown lanes for emergency stops, realistic road markings optimized for AI traffic, and ventilation systems that add environmental detail. Players will experience smooth transitions entering and exiting the tunnel with no texture pop-in or collision issues.

Perfect for chase sequences where criminals flee to Paleto Bay, convoy escorts protecting valuable shipments, smuggling runs using the northern route to avoid police checkpoints, and emergency response scenarios where speed matters. The tunnel cuts travel time to Paleto significantly while creating tactical chokepoints that add strategic depth to police pursuits and gang territory control.

Tunnel Los Santos - Urban Underground Transit

Navigate Los Santos with this expansive underground tunnel network that creates alternate routes beneath the city. Features multiple entry/exit points strategically placed near major landmarks, proper lane separation for realistic traffic flow, ambient lighting that creates atmosphere without tanking FPS, and collision meshes fine-tuned for smooth high-speed driving. The tunnel system includes connecting corridors, maintenance areas that can be used for covert meetings or hideouts, and emergency exits that open roleplay possibilities for foot chases and tactical operations.

This map serves as the backbone of your underground transportation network. Criminals use it to evade aerial surveillance during pursuits. Delivery drivers save time on cross-city routes. Street racers organize underground circuit events. EMS and fire units deploy through tunnels during traffic gridlock. It's infrastructure that becomes essential to your server's daily operations rather than decorative scenery.

Bridge V2 - Enhanced Structural Connectivity

The upgraded bridge map features refined architectural detail, improved collision boundaries that prevent vehicles from glitching through barriers, custom LOD models that maintain visual quality at distance while optimizing performance, and realistic support structures that create screenshot-worthy views. The V2 update addresses all community feedback from the original release - tighter guard rails, smoother road surface transitions, better lighting for night visibility, and pedestrian walkways for foot traffic.

Use Bridge V2 for border checkpoint roleplay where authorities inspect vehicles crossing between territories, gang meetings on neutral ground with tactical oversight positions, dramatic confrontations where both sides have clear sightlines, and scenic convoy routes that show off your server's custom vehicles. The bridge becomes a landmark that players reference when giving directions and organizing events.

Connection Road - FREE Exclusive Update

Important: Connection Road is delivered as a FREE update to all customers who own Tunnel Los Santos OR Bridge V2 - past, present, and future buyers. It's not sold separately. If you already own either of those maps, you automatically received the Connection Road update. This policy ensures the infrastructure network stays connected across all customer servers without fragmenting the collection.

Connection Road seamlessly links Tunnel Los Santos, Bridge V2, and Tunnel Paleto Bay into one cohesive transportation network. The map includes proper road merging with smooth transitions between elevation changes, realistic signage directing traffic to different routes, landscaping that blends the connection points naturally into the terrain, and optimized collision to prevent vehicles from getting stuck at junction points. Without Connection Road, the maps work independently but don't flow together - with it, you get a complete integrated network that feels professionally planned.

Key Features Across All Maps

• Custom Level-of-Detail Models - Every map includes multiple LOD stages optimized for performance. Players see full detail up close while distant views use efficient models that maintain visual quality without FPS drops. Tested at 60+ FPS on mid-range hardware.
• Optimized Mesh and Textures - Professional 3D modeling with polygon counts balanced for detail versus performance. Texture atlasing reduces draw calls. Normal maps add surface detail without geometry overhead. PBR materials ensure realistic lighting response.
• Edited NPC Pathing - AI traffic flows naturally through tunnels and across bridges without pileups or pathfinding errors. Nodes placed strategically to prevent NPC vehicles from stopping inappropriately or making illegal turns.
• NPC Despawner Script Included - Optional script manages NPC density in tunnel areas to prevent traffic jams during high server population. Configurable despawn radius and vehicle limits let you tune performance versus immersion.
• Door Tuning for Barriers - Checkpoint barriers and emergency gates include proper door scripting for access control. Compatible with existing door lock systems. Configure which jobs can operate barriers for checkpoint roleplay.
• Seamless Integration - All maps use consistent texture quality and architectural style. When used together, transitions feel natural rather than jarring. Lighting matches across map boundaries to prevent sudden brightness changes.

Perfect For

• Servers wanting realistic transportation infrastructure beyond basic roads
• Communities focused on pursuits, smuggling, and territory control that need strategic routes
• Roleplay servers requiring travel time reduction to remote areas like Paleto Bay
• Racing servers that want underground circuits and bridge jump challenges
• Law enforcement servers needing checkpoint locations and pursuit chokepoints
• Photography/content creation servers looking for cinematic locations with unique lighting

Installation

1. Extract all map folders to your server's resources directory
2. Add each map to your server.cfg: ensure tunnel-paleto-bay, ensure tunnel-los-santos, ensure bridge-v2, ensure connection-road
3. If using the NPC despawner, configure spawn limits in the script's config file to match your server population
4. If using door barriers for checkpoints, add the provided doorlock configurations to your existing door system
5. Restart server and verify all entry/exit points load correctly without collision issues
6. Test NPC pathing by following AI vehicles through tunnels - they should drive normally without stopping or turning around

Bundle Pricing & Refund Policy

Read before purchasing: Some customers already own individual maps now included in the 4-Map Bundle. To maintain fairness and prevent refund abuse, customers who previously purchased Tunnel Los Santos and/or Bridge V2 are NOT eligible for retroactive refunds to switch to bundle pricing. The price difference is minimal - you can complete your collection by purchasing only the missing maps individually.

A 10% discount is currently active across ALL products including individual maps and the bundle. This means previous customers aren't disadvantaged - they received the same discount when purchasing. Refunds based on bundle pricing won't be processed because it would allow abuse scenarios where unrelated prior purchases get retroactively discounted. Connection Road remains free for anyone owning prerequisite maps regardless of purchase timing.

What Makes This Collection Stand Out

Most map packs are random locations thrown together for volume. This infrastructure collection is purpose-built for functional connectivity with each map serving specific roleplay and gameplay needs. The free Connection Road update demonstrates ongoing commitment to customer value rather than nickel-and-diming for every addition. Professional optimization means you're not choosing between visual quality and performance - you get both.

The attention to traffic AI integration sets this apart from amateur maps where NPC vehicles act erratically. Edited pathing nodes mean your server's ambient traffic actually uses the infrastructure naturally, creating living city immersion. Custom LODs show technical skill - many map creators skip this step, causing FPS drops when players view maps from distance. These maps maintain visual presence across the entire draw distance without performance penalties.

Roleplay Applications

Infrastructure creates emergent roleplay opportunities. Checkpoint scenarios where border patrol or police inspect vehicles crossing between territories. Smuggling operations using tunnel routes to avoid aerial surveillance. Emergency response units deploying through express routes during crisis events. Street racing organizations hosting underground circuit tournaments. Gang ambushes at chokepoints where rivals must pass through controlled territory. Convoy escorts protecting valuable shipments along vulnerable bridge crossings.

The maps become part of your server's geography that players reference organically. Meet me at the north tunnel entrance. Police have a checkpoint on Bridge V2. Smuggling route through Paleto tunnel is clear. When infrastructure integrates into daily player vocabulary, you know it's functional rather than decorative.
