-------------------------

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.

They were never textured in beta. We did it ourselves, that’s mostly why it takes so long for updates. Everything needs to be UV mapped correctly to support final textures. There is also custom modeling work to do which further slows things down. Traffic/races: technically, yes. Feasibly, no. Will I be doing it myself, unlikely.

I have 2 questions: In what build were the beta areas textured? I have only seen videos of them untextured, I thought they never got textured?! Is it possible to add traffic/races to the beta areas? (My logical thinking skills already tell me races are impossible)
