    Version 1.6 is released on the Repository! So I've created this discussion thread now that I consider the map finished, but im still interested if there are issues or suggestions. 1.6 will bring a lot of performance improvements and bug figes. And also new areas. Please clean your cache if you have texture problems.

    Map Backstory
    The island was very busy in the 1970's and at the forefront of "alternative" crash testing. But after a major incident the island was abandoned and forgotten in time. You can now visit and explore the island, but please do so at your own risk!


    This map took ages to develop, please consider joining my patreon for early access to future maps!

    This map would not be possible without enormous help from friends in the community and my patreons! Thanks so much for the support!

    Little irony being the fact that it has two 80's vehicles : the d-series and the DT40L
