Spoiler: FAQ Will I have to pay for the new 1.2 release?

No. The main version of LA Canyons 1.2 will still be available as a Free Download from Race Department. You just need to register with Race Department (which is free) to be able to download it.



Where do I get the VIP extras?

The optional VIP extras are available via my online store.

Check my



What are the VIP extras?

The VIP extras consist of additional features and benefits. They were originally intended as a ‘thank you’ to those who value and support my work. They are completely optional and are not necessary to play the regular version.



The full map covers an area of approx. 900km², with 115km of highways and sideroads to explore. Three new layouts have been added – Two-Way Traffic (VIP Traffic Pack) and Pursuit VIP & Freeroam Urban (VIP Road Pack).



I’d like to drive with my friends, is multiplayer possible?

Yes, LA Canyons was designed with multiplayer at its core.

There are currently several servers available, just search ‘canyons’ in the AC server browser.



If I have the VIP extras, can I drive with those who only have the regular version?

Yes. The VIP extras are compatible for driving with those who have the main version.



Is it possible to have two-way traffic?

Yes. Two-way traffic is now included with the optional VIP Traffic Pack. (Silver)



How do I remove Pit Crew (Lollipop guys)?

I've included a 'Hide Pit Crew' mod in with the Main version of LA Canyons 1.2

Refer to the included 'Install Guide' on how to install.



I've seen in videos people have sharp centrelines, mine are blurry, how comes?

You need to maximise your Anisotropic Filtering to x16, for sharper centrelines.



I have experienced some shaking in certain areas, why is this?

This is due to the sheer scale of this huge mod which, with the VIP extras, totals about 900km². Assetto Corsa was not designed for maps/areas this size, so there are limitations within the game engine. When you start moving, and actually driving, this shaking will gradually reduce.



I felt some shaking was a small price to pay to be able to drive these amazing roads. I have indicated layouts affected with yellow warning diamonds (UI Layout Preview).
