!- AIW RELEASED -!

CANNONBALL RUN USA - JOHNSTONE COUNTY v2.0
"I bet I can beat your Ferrari with my Morris Mini"


INSTALLATION:
Track folder goes to: Gamedata/Locations
'JohnstoneCounty.hat' goes to: UserData/LOG/HAT


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please set your 'race rules' to following:

-Race laps: 2
-Flag rules: NONE
-Start type: STANDING

-Timing works properly only in RACE-mode, so do not try to attemp doing "official" time run in any other mode.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



CHANGELOG:

v2:
-AIW! These computer opponents will take the river route and later through the Johnstone town.



MAIN FEATURES:

1. 140km's of open roads (110km of tarmac, 18km gravel, 12km special)

2. 150 meters of road elevation change.

3. Possibility to choose different routes.

4. Hillclimb-style point to point race with working timing.

5. Some what realistic atmosphere. This is not arcade track.

6. Speed limit: 55 (not that it cannot be broken... ;)

7. WARNING: Some cars might get stuck in sand or fields. Be warned! Mostly those Europeans with their "fancy"
sports cars... ;)

8. Remember to enable damage, because it is fun to crash here.



KNOWN ISSUES:


1. Performance. This track is HUGE and fairly heavy graphics wise, should work with normal gaming PC's.

2. Flickering problem. Due the limits of rFactor graphics engine, there is severe flickering with shadows.
So almost all shadows are disabled. Don't worry, nothings wrong with your computer.

3. Graphic bugs in mirrors.

4. Yellow flag and 'wrong way' indicators flashing. But if you followed rule settings instructions, it doesn't matter.

5. There are NO PITS, so fill up before you go if you want to go Sunday driving.

6. There might occur some scoring issues, hope not. Accelerated time ("finish session") doesn't work very realiable.

7. And all the rest I am not aware of.



TROUBLESHOOT:

If you are having FPS issues, you can help that little bit:
Open: "JohnstoneCounty.scn"
Change: "ClipPlanes=(0.01, 150000.0)" to "ClipPlanes=(0.01, 2000.0)"
This limits the track distance drawn by computer, but makes flickering worse.
(online compatibility may be affected)


THANKS TO:

1. Rural Australia XPack, ennisfargis (For the cows, rocks, vegetation and other stuff!)
2. Longford 67 Houses XPack, Hompe, Woochoo, Gustaf Reutersward (Those houses helped me a lot to make the town alive!)
3. Zaxxon's guardrail XPack (Great!)
4. Textures Janvier XPack, PLP (Always great help!)
5. Hompe, for Diner building
6. Pangaea, for helping to solve various challenges!
7. Piddy, for BTB (Need to say how great tool this is?)
8. Neil Faichney, for skybox arrangement!
9. KittX for new beautiful skies!

10. AIW bent by BLeeK -thank you mate!

Oh YES PLEASE!!!
Whatever happened to that I wonder, died on the grape vine maybe?
Possibly jobs (mod AND tracks) like that should be passed over to open source for others to finish if it IS the case....
But here's one Im sure few have considered, a Blues Brothers mod would also be perfect for here!
One '74 440.6Dodge & a heap of white police cruisers....

THANKS!!!!!
