Description
[EASY] A long and smooth track in Cyprus.

This is a long track (lap time around 1:30 on Zen), but it is not overly difficult. Much of the track is gentle and fast, and it features two pitlanes that give pilots ample opportunity to recharge their shields as they wind their way around a wide variety of environments, from a dense forest to coastal cliffs.

Note: BallisticNG does not support reducing lap count in quick race and will flag players as cheating if a track automatically reduces lap count. If you prefer a shorter race, play on a slower speed setting (which has fewer laps) with Hyperspeed enabled.

--

Changes since prerelease:
- Add announcer
- Remove lap reduction script due to the game complaining about cheating

Well, now that you mention it, the wide area IS based on the swamp area, and Project Pandora's layout DOES resemble that of Scrapper's Run. The environment, on the other hand, actually reminds me of Ryloth's Nightlands track from Star Wars Racer Revenge, especially with the big glowing mushrooms..

Also, Scrapper's Run is on Ord Ibanna, in the abandoned gas mines. The 3 tracks on that planet should be the easiest to recreate as close to the original as possible, and you won't won't even have to make any terrain since Ord Ibanna has no surface and is a gas planet like Jupiter and Bespin. All you'll need to make are the track itself, decorations and a matching skybox. They should also have the death barrier below the track, just like on Oblivion. Most of all, I would LOVE to see a perfect remake of Abyss more than anything!

Yes! :) Also notice the stone pillars that have fire braziers in Star Wars Racer. Collideable trees are annoying, but the wide zigzag bit refers to the swamp area.

Also, Project Pandora looks different but the layout is a copy of Scrapper's Run (IIRC? One of the floating junkyard tracks).

This is yet another track that I believe is based on Star Wars Episode I Racer. Kallisti IV is based on Oovo IV, and THIS track reminds me of Baroonda! The layout is so much like Baroonda; A starting area surrounded by stadium like walls (except Baroonda has an actual stadium), located right on top of a huge plateau surrounded by dense foliage. High cliff roads, Coastal area, Rainforests and Stone gateways. No Swamp or Volcano, though.

Hm, no that is not it. It's really trees showing up in the middle of the track.

Anyway, it's not important.

Retro graphics includes vertex jitter, causing objects to blink around on purpose.

Thanks for the answer, but I don't think so. The driver is the most recent Nvidia driver and the card is new as well (besides, when I noticed the issue the last time, I was still using a GTX 1060, meanwhile I use a RTX 3080, but same issue).

All your other tracks work fine though. Can it be a problem if I run the track with all retro graphics options enabled?

I think your graphics card drivers are broken (or your graphics card...)

Hmm for some reason, for me the trees are glitching out - they are moving all around the "street" at many places...

Holy crap this is one long run. I was thinking the Great Manitou Trail was a long run, but this one's an endurance test. It's not terribly difficult or anything like that, but the length is on the extreme side, with a decent lap on Apex-110% in the low 1'50"s.

Scenery's lovely, as expected of any track set on Cyprus. To an extent it reminds me of a woodsy remix of the Atlantica and Aquatica tracks from Need for Speed 3 (the former of which has actually been modded in to BNG).
