best graphics settings
===========================
on my computer the best graphics settings for over all look and framerate, change 
sightrange to full, turn off high quality reflections, mirrors, hdr, dof and 
in advanced tab change light source effects to Only currant vehicle, main lights.
================================================

sunset_mesa was inspired by the 1998 game Viper racing developed by MGI. 
viper racing was also one of the first game i made mods for (cars)
after looking through binary code for nearly 4 years and building cars for this game i spoke to Dave Broska and Dave Pollatsek ( MGI guys ) via email and got the cpp and tools so that we the community could build most anything for the game like sfx, trk, car, and so on,
a team of modders including myself started viper racing VRGT, you can find this at VRGT.com you can download cars, tracks and patches that we have created many years ago.

i have included my enbseries settings in this zip, it makes the bloom effect look better and washes out the colors a bit, for anyone wanting to use it just drop the dxd9.dll and enbseries.ini into your rigs of rods folder where the ror.exe is, use shift key plus F12 to turn it on and off, if you dont want to use it just dont put it in you ror.exe dir. and to uninstall it just delete the dxd9.dll and enbseries.ini from your ror.exe dir.

all of the ground textures, sand, grass, gravel, rock, dirt and so on where made by me, used photos that i have taken over the years, i used L3DT and crazybump to make the normal maps for those, feel free to use them in your own project (for rigs of rods only please) if you wish. just give me credit in a readme.
i used the sample ETShader.program to get all the normal mapping to work, i used it on the buildings, rocks and trees that i have modeled also. 
note: some textures for this terrain are from cgtextures.com

beta testers, suggestions and help with bugs

BigC92
and some of BigC92 friends ( unsure of what their names are :) )
also the people on the Rigs of Rods forums.

big thanks to disloyalpick from the ror forums for helping me with the sound bug i was having.
heres how to make sure all the sounds work.

( quoting disloyalpick) 

"When you load the game after it crashes, and it has no sounds, try clicking the simulation menu button and click Activate all Vehicles. I had the bug of sounds not loading on some terrains before, and doing that made the sounds work."
