AI Server Installation:
Extract the 3 Fast_Lane.ai Files to
Server/Content/Tracks/KC_BackwoodsFreeroam/ai
You may be required to create the ai Folder
While using CSP Requirement on server you will need to move/create the folder rather inside.

Creating your own AI Lines:
Included in the following download are 3 separate layouts for creating AI Traffic Lines. Highway Inside (towards city), Highway Outside (towards ocean), and City. This package includes all lines from v2 in their respective locations. (content/tracks/mapname/layoutname/ai)
DO NOT EXTRACT TO SERVER, Extract to AssettoCorsa/Content/Tracks/kc_backwoodsfreeroam. Otherwise allow Content Manager to extract, and create within practice mode.

Still confused? Check out this guide on creating AI Lines

TL;DR Traffic runs a ton better, Less Collisions, Better Management, and you can Create your own!

The one with may be used to make "traffic" on trackday.
(Traffic: Enable New AI Behavior inside Content Manager / Custom Shaders Patch, along with change "Shuffle Behavior" to "Never".
High opponent counts may cause crashes and issues. I've seen it work best with about 15 opponents)

Added Lights to KFC Track Pits

This will be included in the next update if your not keen to doing it manually.
Manual Update:
To add this extension all you need to do is replace the
ext_config.ini found in:
YOURDRIVELETTER:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\KC_BackwoodsFreeroam\extension
with this one:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/861741526345580565/878688721971576852/ext_config.ini

RainFX is not required, but makes a huge diffrence on the visual experience.

Procedural grass is enabled inside Custom Shaders Patch > Procedural Grass (AC Manager).
