Hi everyone, it's been a while, hope you're all doing well...
I unfortunately have to make
some news final and official.
Due to so many illegal ports, texture / asset thefts on my and others work, there will be
no LA Canyons update, all other projects are
now cancelled (at least publicly) and I'm now leaving the modding scene. I don't fancy doing any more work just for low lifes to
steal it.
The final straws were illegal conversions for BeamNG... Like ones on a site called Modland
(There were others which have been removed) another massive scumbag called Yukio, giving away LA Canyons VIP (and other payware) for free. (I won't be providing links to them)
Very few of these
scum ask permission, before
stealing others work, and don't even have the decency to credit years worth of work,
and pass it off as their own.
I can get things removed and have done so repeatedly, unfortunately this is like a game of whack-a-mole and requires valuable time (hard to get as it is)...
which would have been better spent modding.
These Twts will end up killing the modding scene.

Goodbye from laserscanned Colorado
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly I'd like to thank
@RaceDepartment for their awesome website and community, without which it is doubtful I would have even started creating mods in the first place.
Secondly I'd like to say a massive thanks to
@Ben O'Bro who has been an absolute legend and a gent... and it's been a real honour working with him.
A huge thank you to
everyone who has supported, some people from the VERY beginning, knowing where this project was going, and understood the work involved, you are all legends too. Cheers! The VIP roads were all about thanking these people, that's why I almost named them... The
Thank You roads (doesn't sound the same though)
The amazing support LA Canyons has received has meant I could pay this forward on to good causes, like the
DEC refugee appeal, when russia invaded Ukraine, to
Jimmy Broadbents - Mind Fundraisers for mental health... and a few others.
So when you're sitting in your Sim Rig, driving about in the Canyons whilst your girlfirend / wife / husband is questioning why you're playing with pretend cars again. Do it in the knowledge that you've likely helped someone you're never likely to meet.
Thank you again for all the support, and all the best wishes for the future! Bye
