This is the initial Alpha release of my Assetto Corsa track mod dubbed “Santa Monica Mountains” which is a recreation of the network of canyon roads nestled in the hills above Malibu, California. I am using a photogrammetry technique in order to capture the actual roads with as much precision and detail as I can manage.

Requirements / Recommendations: (v0.01)

Content Manager
Custom Shader Patch with GrassFX enabled
Custom Shader Patch with New AI Behavior. “AI Flood” and “Get back to race after pitting” MUST be enabled for the Freeroam modes. Two-Way traffic WON’T work without this.
Recommend Sol Weather with “Haze” preset for the most true-to-life visual experience. The time of day in my videos and screenshots is 13:30 and I’m using the standard Sol PP filter.

There are multiple driving modes to choose from. Always Content Manager to make your driving selections, and PLEASE NOTE that the Freeroam Two-Way AI traffic absolutely requires the CSP New AI Behavior settings noted above.

A – Race Stunt — Racing AI line for use in Race, Hotlap and Track Day modes. 24 pit box. Runs up Stunt, across Schueren, and down Piuma. Timing beacons included.
B – Race The Snake — Racing AI line for use in Race, Hotlap and Track Day modes . 24 pit box. Runs along Mulholland Hwy and up The Snake. Timing beacons included.
C – Freeroam — Two-Way AI traffic spawning at the bottom of Stunt Road, 24 pit box.
D – Freeroam — Two-Way AI traffic spawning at the David M Brown Overlook, 24 pit box.
E – Freeroam — Two-Way AI traffic spawning at the Lois Ewen Overlook, 24 pit box.
F – Freeroam — NO AI, but spawn point at the peak of The Snake Carspot, 24 pit box.

I’ve also included two extra spawn points nested within the “_EXTRA_SPAWN_POINTS” subfolder. Move the contents out of this folder into the main mod folder to enable them.

G – Freeroam — NO AI, single pit box spawn point at the bottom of Las Flores Canyon Road.
H – Freeroam — NO AI, single pit box spawn at the bottom of Tuna Canyon Road, however PLEASE NOTE the photogrammetry of this road is extremely rough. Drive at your own risk!

For more information on features, bugs, and future plans for the track, refer to the project page on RaceDepartment. Thank you and Enjoy!

PLEASE READ: If you have access to these roads in real life, please remember to always drive carefully, safely, and within the bounds of the law. Never cross the yellow lines and always be respectful of the lives of the cyclists, pedestrians, and fellow motorists who you share these roads with. The driving you do in the sim should stay in the sim.
