Desolate District 2
Standard Track

Monday, 26th December 2022

At the time of writing, this track mysteriously had it's download link removed. I don't know or care why but I had to grab this through another means in order to look at it. Let's start with the better parts: Graphics are solid. Being that pretty much all of it comes from Pure's original track, I can't really give kudos for the creationism there. The raceline, whilst not bad, is very plain in overall stucture. There are some jumps and uneven terrain which puts it above a good majority of basic tracks but there isn't anything intuitive or thought-provoking about it. The first section consists of a long winding turn that goes over a jump then into a left hand turn that is basically the same thing back to the finish line. There is a slight variance with a tigher turn near the finish. The track comes "fully fledged". There is a practice star, challenge times for both normal and reverse variants and TVTIME cameras. The last one being a big plus for me personally. For the "lesser" parts: After the first 90-degree turn, there is a lamp post that is directly in the racing line that is difficult to not hit without a perfect line. The turn is already tight enough without this being there just to disrupt the flow. I don't really understand why the reverse version has you go up the ramp and out through the hole in the car park rather than just going straight on. It does change up the race line a little bit, to say the least. I'll leave the graphical barrenness of the track to Xarc's more informative comment below. That's pretty much it, really. All in all, the track is not a bad track. It's just plain, mediocre, very middle of the road. Now for the main reason why I decided to look at this in the first place. If you're on the internet in any form or capacity and you can't take/accept criticism and think everyone who says so is just out to get you then you're not going to last very long. The description clearly says "I wanted to create my own part of this track". Yet, here in the comments, it is also claimed "This track has nothing to do with the original." So which is it? If it's nothing to do with Pure's track, why is named Desolate District 2, uses the same textures and attempts to recreate the same type of track and visual style? That's what I don't understand.

Made a quick change based on Kiwi's suggestion. The car is now electric instead of glow in true Rookie car fashion. Please redownload if you did so previously, you can also delete the petrol.wav from the car folder as it is no longer needed.

This was originally created and uploaded to RVZ years ago before RVW even existed. Due to RVZ's finicky nature when it came to uploading packs, this was the best way the author could do it at the time. It's an archaic and obsolete method now and maybe some day we'll get around to repacking these properly. In the mean time, all you have to do is rename the file inside with the .CW extention to .ZIP and extract that to your RV folder. If you'd have actually read the included readme, you would know that instead of bashing the author for a limitation they dealt with as best they could at the time. I find the wording even funnier as you yourself don't have a single creation to your name.

Seems this was an error all this time all these years. I've uploaded a new screenshot that correctly shows the car now.
