======== BUGS/ISSUES ========
- Final game doesn't have enough memory for rendering several emitter effects like finishline smoke or nitrous flames due to tire water splashes. Currently only finishline smoke issue was fixed by using 2d sprites instead of volumetric smoke
- Sometimes traffic can start leaving tire water splashes, which shouldn't happen
- Some car paints are too reflective
- Finally, the visuals are still nuked, but did you really expect a "true to canon" restoration mod to fix that?
======== CHANGELOG ========
==== VERSION 1.0 ====
- Lighting, post effects, car materials, shader parameters, flares, emitter effects, ported from beta & modified to look more correct
- Two options for lighting available: Brown contrasty (aka how beta looks in Xenia emulator) & Native vibrant (aka how beta looks on Xbox 360). For Easy Installation, "Brown contrasty" look is chosen.
- An option available to set city lighting in Port Crescent, since that's how it was in actual beta, despite proper lighting being there in the files. Easy Installation uses proper lighting.
- Visual damage made to look a lot closer to how it was in beta
- Cut tire water splashes are restored
- Beta world textures ported, which include higher quality roads and beta garage environment
- Beta sky textures ported and cleaned up using AI techniques
- Different & Better quality textures for body damage and static car shadow

It is an incredible mod. It's exactly how the game should be seen. And I have a suggestion. Is it possible to put the Palm Harbor filter on Gold Coast Mountain and Sunset Hills, as an option? But seriously as I say, incredible mod and thank you very much.
