A total rebuild... and as such there will be things I've missed out or need to sort / tweak... This is a little early to uploading this...
But it's about time everyone tried the new road layout...
It's been lined up to a high res (1 billion pixel) satellite image...
So be aware some corners might catch you out now...

I've added a mansion free roam layout with 118 pit boxes...
This is only to be used for practice or online...
There are no AI and no track cameras...

The 1st 8 drivers into any servers. start here....
Then the next 4 drivers start at the gas pumps

Then drivers get alternated between the North and South parking lots...

Tweaked a few shaders that needed adjusting... where I used outdated persistence files
Added track cams (Thanks @dodz27)
A few adjustments on the terrain mesh
Tweaked AI hints.

Added Crash Barriers (195)
Added a few bushes (15k)
Added some Bridges...
Tweaked the asphalt shader... Thanks to @LilSki for help with this
Added kerbs around Parking Lots...
Added a collision meshes around Gas station & pumps
Closed some mesh holes... One day I'll get all of them...!
Removed the Ideal Lines to get the file size under 300MB
Tweaked tree shaders
And... Had to add a Pacific Coast balloon...

Due to when I had a kn5 purge
(I had multiple versions of things I was testing)
There was a typo in the model.ini's
So the Southbound roadsigns were not referenced. This is what you should have seen!

Will use these signs at a later date... But more important things to add 1st

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it so far..
I think that proves that no one on here looks at roadsigns! lol

Really sorry for the annoying omission.

Improved Textures
Added 1st version high resolution FFB mesh
Added Cruise Layouts (AI run at 80% and on the right)
Added roadsigns to North layout
Added Track cameras to North layout
Added Chevrons to South layout (Big Sur)
Changed UI previews
Improved AI for Race layouts
(inc AI hints so a GT1 or 962C should make it)
Enable tree shadows
Re-structured trees in to layers..
(Will add Medium_Far, Far, and distant layers to the next version)
Far improved ocean shaders (will need a few tweaks)

This track is dedicated in loving memory to my Brother, Jeremy

It's a celebration to him... So have fun down the coast

Many thanks to...
@Chris Kennedy for testing.
@LilSki for his extremely useful guides to track creation.

And thanks to @Brandon Wright for the cool video...

It helped me see how cool the "cruise" mode would be... Thanks mate
But if anyone hates it... It's Brandons fault lol

And to the support from everyone in the support thread
on here, thanks... Enjoy

Added the North layout (No signs or cams yet)
Includes AI & Pit Lane.
Added gas stations at either end of the track

(Good to drift around)

22 pits boxes in the parking lot behind.
Pit box 1 & 2 are either side of the gas pumps.
Re-worked trees
Re-worked track cameras
