From vast desert highways to twisty mountain roads, from gravel roads to dry river beds. Enjoy landscapes of mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, farmlands and sympathic country town Johnstone.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
-IMPORTANT: Official timer starts at the exact moment when first car enters race session!
Think this as a official start signal, and it is up to you how fast you get your clothes on and leave the motel room :D

CHANGELOG:
v1.1:
-Some of the bridges had major collision bugs, fixed.
-Graphics made more prettier and consistent in higher graphics modes.
-New skies, thanks KittX!
-Starting grid expanded to hold 50 cars
-Most of the buildings now collide
-Small tweaks here and there
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. NO AI drivers! I wasn't able to implement any sort of working computer
opponents for this track. It might be possible, maybe in later versions.
So this track is purely for online-fun or just driving ALONE. (CURRENTLY AIW IS BEING WORKED ON)
2. Performance. This track is HUGE and fairly heavy graphics wise, should work with normal gaming PC's.
3. 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.
4. Graphic bugs in mirrors.
5. Yellow flag and 'wrong way' indicators flashing. But if you followed rule settings instructions, it doesn't matter.
6. There are NO PITS, so fill up before you go if you want to go Sunday driving.
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)
