    Note:
    Most of the videos shows an older version of the map.

    Version 1.1:
    1- fixed a few areas issues on the map.

    Version 1.4:
    1- Minor fixes includes fixing the positioning of a certain area with trees.
    2- Adding functional animated light bars like the arrow pointer beside the beach on Seaside Route 765 / Sunny Beach and a banner saying (Floor it) at the last corner of Seaside Route 765 / Sunny Beach.
    3- The night lights are now functional the way it should.

    Version 1.6:
    1- Fixed misalignment of the connecting routes after the large bridge on Bayside Line.
    2- Improved the Outer Pass barriers - terrain & the last corner after the downhill straight before the jump on the beach side of Seaside Route 765.
    3- Expanded the drawing distance from 500.000 to 2500.000 for a better visual during daytime around the city.


    Greetings :cool:
    This mod is inspired directly from Ridge Racer V & Ridge Racers 2.
    There are chances for improvement on this map when the situations helps later on.
    Here is the map link:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EURjOqbHfDIJLjA7fy2tOT3F1p52rEyV/view?usp=sharing
    Enjoy!

    Currently there are many missions available - but fair warning - not all missions works the way it should, but the most should work fine from the latest tests i performed on it.
    To make those missions work correctly - you need to download the latest updates of those racing machines which are here:

    https://www.beamng.com/threads/project-ridge-racer-x-beamng-40-machines.94108/

    Important notice:
    Don't switch the map into night time unless your PC is good enough to handle the FPS drop which is sadly the only big issue with the map currently XP


    Note #01:
    I'm still new on the maps modding scene on BeamNG, so please take it easy on me as i tried as best as i managed so far to make this map.


    Note #02:
    I've decreased the drawing distance drastically to improve the FPS (Frames Per Second)
    If your PC is high spec and ready to view the map in full - press F11 to open World Editor then click (Sky_and_Sun) group then select (levelinfo) then increase the (Drawing Distance) from (2500.000) to (5000.000)

    Note #03:
    There are two other tracks (one of them is extra and uncanon on it's existence on the map) available which are still in Alpha Phase.
    1- Mini version of Airport Lap (extra track)
    2- Airport Oval (it is canon for the map) which is still under development (but you can still drive on it)


    How to install:
    1- Extract the file.
    2- There'll be three files - Put each file in the right folder directory then extract it.
    3- RidgeCityMod file should be extracted inside (unpacked) folder.
    4- If (unpacked) folder wasn't available inside (Mods) folder then make a new file then rename it (unpacked) then put the RidgeCityMod file inside, and extract it.
    5- If (mods) folder isn't inside the main folder of the latest version of the game - make a new folder and name it (mods) to put the (unpacked) inside it.

    If there are any issues i'll try to help as much as i can but be informed that i'm not an expert on a certain fatal errors.

    Cool! Will it be released on the repo? Or is the file size too large?

    It is still under development and due to the nature of the forum where the moderators may take a while to post the updated versions of the resources - i prefer to stick to the forum pack posting as i have the freedom to update as soon as possible :)
    If you wish to get the latest updates notifications - you can find it in this discord link :cool::

    Did you followed the steps correctly?
    Please make sure you've opened a new folder named (unpacked) which should be inside (mods) folder.
    Screenshots will be appreciated.

    for some reason as of 0.34 the map loads as nothing but a no texture center and a crude layout of Seaside Route 765

    I believe it could be something related to how you transferred the files to the new update folder.
    Just in case recheck how to install the map steps above.
    Make sure everything is in the right place.
    I'll also check just to make sure.

    Edit:
    Yup - the map works okay on my side.
    Make sure to check how you placed the files.
    If anything is missing or doesn't work then redownload and redo the installation steps.
    Make sure that you don't miss any necessary new folders like (unpacked) & (mods) folders in their right places as instructed on the installation steps.
    Delete the older files and replace it with the newly downloaded map mod to be sure so that the game won't read the files as duplicates which can screw up the map loading process.
    If it still doesn't work - don't be afraid to let me know - i'll try my best to help you even if i have to show a video on how to.
    You can send screenshots as much as you need.

    You could do both. Put it on the repo but leave the download here for those who don't wanna wait.
    --- Post updated ---
    Small problem... I have it downloaded, installed, and activated, but it won't show up in the menu select screen. I even checked with debug content on!

    Yes I cleared my cache.
