-------------------------
Only beta content that causes minimal interference with normal gameplay has been restored. Some things don't have collision, this is intentional. Beta content is taken mostly from Sven, FGH, HAWAII_MAIN_PC, anything.

It would get in the way of the airport and/or overwrite some of it. The goal with this restoration is to have no interference with the existing map, that’s why everything has been moved upwards.jpg)

Alright thank you guys for the answers. After playing the prototype (HHH and Bens - Jan 2012) myself today I was wondering, is it not possible to make the entrance to the dirt path faithful to the original, beginning not on the airport but rather on the highway and connect the highway entrances faithful to the original prototype? Or is that impossible/too much work due to how the game renders in the map parts?

Great job! Progress in the development of modifications is noticeable, I'm waiting for you to pull out the rest of the Pursuit Breakers)

As for the 4K mods, short answer is probably because no one has tried it yet. Im thinking we would probably run into a memory limit at some point when trying to load a lot of high res textures in. That would probably apply to the HUD. There are hardcoded memory allocations for various things. We know there is a very small allocation for the driver model and its textures for example. Anyway it would need to be tested by someone
