    Hello everyone, you may have seen this map before on the repo. I figured it was time to make a forum post for it. If you want to see more about the map head over here to the repo/mod link: https://www.beamng.com/resources/xero-parklands.27889/updates

    For now, enjoy some pretty pictures and the yet-to-be-approved 2.20 update as a bonus :)

    Hey! Love the map. Would It be possible to use it for a Private server to host Drift events and general events? Thanks :)

    Absolutely possible! Thanks for asking :)

    If they are streamed anywhere I'd love to watch the events

    i mentioned this in a review on the repo, but the beige rocks in the canyon area are bugged and will catch the tires and not let go causing the vehicle to be stuck... In the picture below the left front tire is clipped into the rock and stuck. they should be removed or fixed. Otherwise this is a stellar effort and one of my favorite maps

    100%! Will likely be streamed on my Channel (ShiftTabAuto) or Raceless Channel. We have a video coming out together in that map and im sure we'll do more things with the map since it is so good!
    thank you!

    Woops, anyway

    It's a great map! But after a little bit the performance drops in half for seemingly no reason. It's fine for a few minutes then the fps basically halfs (from 50 to 25ish). It only started after the more recent updates and I have no idea why.

    My PC stats are in my signature.

    Sorry to hear that. How many mods to you have installed besides Xero? And could you send a screenshot of your console? (Press ` key)

    I retested it, it was a mod conflict issue. I didn't even think of that because I have never experienced (or even heard of now that I think about it) a mod messing with a separate map mod. No idea what mod though, because when I reactivated them, the issue was gone.

    If I come across the issue again I will post the console screenshot.

    (You can remove my review on the mod since I was wrong)

    Nvm, It happened again. (17-25 FPS from 50ish)

    The console looks normal to me with no serious issues.
    Are you losing frames in one specific location on the map?

    (Also I don't have the ability to remove reviews so you would have to do so)
    --- Post updated ---
    And do you have any traffic on or other non-default settings?

    No, but It mostly starts on the track. It usually drops for a bit, (anywhere from a 30 seconds to a few minutes) then goes back up for a couple seconds (10-60ish I guess) then drops again.

    (I don't think I can remove my review until you remove your quote of my review)

    No, I don't think I do. I am using the default version not Vulcan btw.
    --- Post updated ---
    The game is saying my GPU is the bottleneck, but my GPU was running the game at 45-55+ Just fine when the performance isn't dropped.
    --- Post updated ---
    Still a great map despite the PS1 frame rates thought. :)

    Sweet, thanks for all the feedback and cooperation, I will see what I can do to improve the framerate. I think the tracks texture might just be too high quality than is really necessary which is the root of the issues.

    Also good call on removing the reply to the review. Will do.

    Cool! Looking forward to it.

    Yep, that was it, I removed the review.
    --- Post updated ---
    Yeah, I think it probably is...

    Not sure if it's a bug, or just from the map's atmosphere, but anytime you spawn a car with chrome, all the chrome has a light blue hue to it, regardless of the car's paint color.

    I also noticed that. For the player car at least, you can remove the blue by using dynamic reflections in graphics settings.

    map keeps getting better and better! great work.... one small gripe , these beige rocks are still behaving strangely and they will stick to your wheels and axles, a fix would make it more enjoyable to cruise or blast through this section

    Anyone else's Christmas tree delivery (AND the new vanilla delivery) look like this, or is there something up with my graphics settings? Poor performance in this "fog" as well. Also the Christmas Tree is not spawning, apparently.

    The fog is on purpose to make the mission more difficult/atmospheric, the poor performance may be due to the traffic that spawns with that mission.

    It should be a conflicting mod issue, typically with any mod that uses the "ai pacenotes" mod. If you disable/remove those and clear cashe the rally stages should work.
