Notes
MAPS:
- Proving Grounds has bugged skybox textures, no cars parked in the pits area
- Outback is missing its tunel, same skybox issue.
- North Country is the same as the final game with the same skybox issue
- Pacific Spirit has its parking lot shortcut bugged (you either go down the level or crash into it), the Bridge textures uses the Emperor Pig ones from NFS 3 Empire City, the Railtrain that appears at the end of the track looks to have crashed into the circuit, possibly killing a lot of people in the process (aka its bugged), same as final game
- Mediterraneo has a bugged race start camera, the worst draw distance of the bunch, a lot of popping and colission issues...But its the same as the final game
- Mystic Peaks is final, but its undrivable
- No MONOLITHIC STUDIOS, however it can be accessed using modified save game
CARS:
- Rear engined cars got some strong rear wheel spin so its hard to control them at low gears, however, mid-engine cars are the easiest to control
- No Ford Indigo (it can be accessed, I don't know how, but supposedly, it's unfinished)
- Cars after the GT90 sound the same or plain pitches
- 2 Lotus Espirit V8 slides/pictures not used in retail.
PERFORMANCE
- Runs very well honestly, 60fps no crashes no issues whatsoever
- Bugged skyboxes on all races
- No cinematics or music, you can just take them from retail
- You cant restart the car or look back, to go Reverse, you gotta lower gears
- Audio is messed up please play on mute
