What this mod does
Santa Monica Mountains brings together the canyon roads in the hills above Malibu, California. Its author, Todd K, is building them with photogrammetry to capture the real asphalt, and version 0.2 already has about 21 miles (about 34 km) of drivable road. It’s free, and the author says he will never put it behind a paywall.
Driving modes
- A and B: races on Stunt and The Snake with an AI line, 24 pit boxes and timing beacons.
- C, D and E: free roam with two-way AI traffic over about 11 miles, from three different starting points.
- F and G: free roam without AI on The Snake and at the bottom of Las Flores Canyon.
- H: a climb from Tuna Canyon up to Lois Ewen Overlook, with 14 pit boxes (AI not recommended).
Requirements
It needs Custom Shaders Patch with GrassFX and, for traffic, the new AI behavior with «AI Flood» enabled. Content Manager makes it easy to pick the mode. The author recommends Sol weather with light haze.
Keep in mind
It’s an alpha: the AI may cut corners or roll over in Tuna Canyon, and some off-road areas are unfinished. It weighs 2.3 GB compressed. The OverTake page gives you a PDF with the author’s MEGA download link.
