Beta Desert Highway 2021.12.29

This long overdue update includes several fixes to keep the map capable with the latest versions of the game.

The following issues have been addressed:

• Bush texture issue fixed, but in the process, ran into issues with the forest. The map currently has no vegetation.
• AI improvements over bridges. AI works generally well on the map.
• Multiple spawn points have been defined.
• Had to re-do most of the textures. Base texture is different, several different textures have had parameter adjustments.
• Brought any objects caught floating back to Earth.
• Decal Road cleanup, including fixing broken textures, also fixing overlapping issues (render priority). Fixed up some road curves being horrible unnatural.
• Attempting to fix up terrible camber on some roads. More work to be done.
• General smoothing especially at edges of cliffs.
• Turned down most sound emitters, they were far too loud.

Features added:

• 15 miles of off-road trail or dirt road. They are swift and move fast, have fun

Known issues:

• Some holes in the Earth where I had to cut it out for the tunnel.
• Vegetation is completely absent, however as a result, overall performance is improved.
• Some models have texture issues.
• Despite AI cars working, map/GPS doesn't seem to work.

To-Do:

• Convert map textures to PBR
• Add vegetation back? Feedback on this is welcome, I personally like the map being cleaner.

If you spot issues, please write a forum comment. Your feedback is welcome! Be aware that I will only be working on this sparingly.
