    Very special thanks to Javildesign, Mace, Skarma, Xarc and Zorbah for some  assets which I used as a base. A full list can be found in the included Readme.

    Appalachian RC has no Reversed version available, but as an easteregg you can race on the raw-version of the track instead! This version contains just the PRM-pieces as provided by Keyran's Rally PRM Kit. This way you can see how I started working on the track.

    Have fun!

  4. As usual, great track, Kiwi! I really like the idea and its implementation. I like your choice of models that you decided to use in this track. I like the color scheme of the track. The water looks good. I like birdsong and other SFX. I also noticed an animation of a flying plane. Nice! Also, I like the idea of texture animation timer. All textures look good. Also RVW User Ranking is a very good idea. In general, keep it that way. This track was a great example of using Keyran’s Rally PRM Set. And, btw, congratulations on your victory, Kiwi!!! :)

  5. Flawless visuals as usual from Kiwi, the very best on that front that we have in the community. Driving the course was very satisfying and enjoyable. Only real complaints would be: 1. how lenient the track zones are, optimal line would be to just not drive on the line at all and cut everywhere, which I don’t like, could maybe be solved with some fences. And 2. it’s a bit short. Honestly with less lenient track zones and if it was about twice as long, maybe something like 40-45seconds, this could be one of the best tracks ever. But it’s still an awesome track to play, top job Kiwi.
