I keep coming back to this. Every time I upgrade my hardware, or CSP gets tweaked, or.... I discover new things to enjoy with LA Canyons, and am happy to have made a small contribution early on. A quite nice crossover effect was loading up MS Flight Simulator, then just thinking "I wonder if I can find LAC if I just fly out of LAX in a little bush plane", and sure enough, it was easy to immediately find it and fly over all the "sights" I know so well from LAC. MSFS doesn't come close to the fidelity, but it made me appreciate even more the scale of what you achieved with this. Bravo.

Come on guys, why do you you not write a review? I can also blame myself....because it is my first review after more than 3 years of using this mod regurlarly. And I have just bought the Platinum bundle this morning in order to apologise properly. Congratulations Phoenix for this wonderful piece of joy you are providing to us, random simracers. Cheers from France (my email used for the Platinum is damcopter... just in case I can get my hands on the Carbon version ;-))

Thank you Phoenix77. As a casual gamer, I enjoy LA Canyons' seemingly endless exploration & best-in-class AC scenery.

i don't know how i never left a review of this over all the years of owning it and being part of the first wave to pick up the paid update as soon as it dropped, but this is deserving of a 10 out of 5 star rating for the detail put into it.

there's probably only 2 other free roam tracks with attention to detail such as this- not to pupu on the folks with real race tracks with 8k textures and whatnot but they don't hold a candle to blind corners on an actual road at night or day with oncoming traffic and the heart pounding experience if you're going to go off the cliffside or make the cut.. plus people seem to get a little mad when you prefer to slide every corner on an actual race track.. i'm not a time chaser, i chase fun ;)

Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review... Most of the half a million people who downloaded didn't bother!

Yeah LA Canyons roads are real, and not only that, Real Drivers Roads which require Skill, Attention, Focus and need to be respected at all times!

Cheers!

How do I make the cars in the map start moving, its just waiting in the pits. When I use the pursuit version of the map, no AI is on the roads or anything.

Check the included 'Layout Guide'

There is no 'Raceable' AI on the Pursuit layout... It's an online / server layout of the track that not many people have figured out how to use over the years
(waste of time me including it)

I don't know, why i did not write a review a tiny bit earlier, but i started my journey with LA Canyons with version 0.3 which i saw in the stream of a friend of mine. We then trained every evening to not fall off the road into the deep void - because there were no guardrails yet. There was just the plain road with one texture, some simple mountains to our right of the main loop and to our left the mighty and deadly abyss :D Hence we were lucky when our group stayed together for more than five corners. But right from the start there was this exitement and the fascination you get from an open world. And here we had what could become the master of all maps for our favorite sim. And so from week to week we got the hang of it and one day we managed to get around the whole 42km loop without everyone falling down. After years of hard work and dedication this map truly had become the master of all open world driving maps - at least to me and a bunch of people that meet up there still every night - to hang out, cruise, race, drift, crash and laugh - to laugh a forkin lot over those stupid moments driving like maniacs. What an incredible piece of art this map has become. And if you think about missing out with those extra roads in the Gold or Platinum paid content ... yes you do miss out! Get these extra 72km of wonderful, windy roads, hillclimbs and stunning vistas. You'll love them! Thank you, Phoenix, for making dreams a virtual reality !!

Cheers Toby, well all the hours / days / weeks / months / years you've been lost in the Canyons, I'll excuse you not reviewing sooner dude! :D

Cheers for all the drives, hopefully one day soon I'll see you again on the virtual roads. You'll excuse me if I crash, my private version is now looking pretty hot!

Read the 'INSTALL GUIDE' included in the zip. It's worked for 500,000+ people so you've gone wrong somewhere!

One of the best mods out there and for me personally, the best road to have a relaxing cruise and send it hard whenever I want.

I wish i could figure out how to pay for traffic....

There's a link on my Facebook page, check the 'Spoiler: FAQ' above.

Or alternatively, there is a free traffic version on here (the AI will overtake and have headons though, f you use traffic planner app, I hear someone has made a line for it, again on here... have a search!

Or if you prefer, jump on a 'Cruisin USA' server if you want to race your friends through traffic online. Choices!

I've never reviewed anything here on RaceDepartment, or any other site for that matter. I felt that this map needed a review. I bought the premium off of your website and damn was it worth it. This map makes any car amazing to drive, drift, race, or cruise. The detail, textures, small backroads, turnouts, and views are amazing. I got the paid rain mods and they're tons of fun with this map. The map has the perfect balance of small windy roads, 2-4 lane roads/highways, and even neighborhood roads. I've always wanted to visit California. This satisfies that urge. Even though I don't have my license or permit, I can still drive around California with a Ferrari in Assetto. For anyone that's on the fence about maybe buying the premium bundle, It's 100% worth the money.

After seeing videos online, I felt like this deserved my support. I purchased the Platinum VIP package (and you should, too) but every time I try to launch it in single player, I get the error message: "AC ran into critical error: CANNOT HAVE 0 CARS IN RACE.IN!"

I assume I did something incorrectly, but I can't find anything about this error anywhere. Can anybody help?

Thanks, the "CANNOT HAVE 0 CARS IN RACE.IN!" means the main track wasn't installed properly. Either that or you didn't select some AI opponents.

Very good track however i am having issues using any of the layouts labelled as 'VIP', whenever i try to load into one of these a crash prompt comes up saying 'CANNOT HAVE 0 CARS IN RACE.INI'. Not sure if i need to pay for these or if they only work in servers or something, I've tried a few things but with no success.

So-called reviews like this, on a Project that took thousands of hours, years of work are one of the reasons that I won't be making the private 'Carbon' version, public!
