Ultimate Challenge: Zancudo River
Hello all! This is my second published trial course. I create many more routes across the game world, some for cars and some for motorcycles. They're all demanding and interesting. This download adds only a few objects to the world; it doesn't change anything within the game. It's the vanilla game world without ramps and such. Finding good and difficult courses and connected sections in the original map is part of my kind of fun. Which means, you can actually do this completely unmodded too!
Instead of an obstacle description list in the readme.txt, I have provided a screenshot for each gate this time. Have your car spawner ready and/or a script that teleports you to the nearest road because you will get stuck, and your engine will drown a lot at the beginning. You may want to set Water Quality and reflections to the lowest setting to better see the rocks under the water surface.
General tips: Keep your engine above water, submerge it only for as short a time as possible. Especially gate 3 is tricky. SPOILER: Drive into the water backwards, and keep your nose as close to the gate pole as possible without touching it, and circle around it. You'll see that the riverbed slope lifts your front end just enough for most cars (see screenshot). I first thought I'd let you find out yourself, but then I considered it's hard enough without killing your engine. Also, in the water sections try to drive from rock to rock with just enough momentum to halt your vehicle's wheels ON the rocks so you won't ground your vehicle (5,6,8), as grip underwater is diminished mostly because of buoyancy.
