Xero Parklands v2.20 0.33.x

Map Xero Parklands v2.20 for BeamNG.drive.

A very diverse and large but realistic map that has pretty much everything your heart desires.

The main focus of the map is a race track called Xero Speedring with 5 different layouts (full, Grand Prix, short, full classic, short classic). This track was built in the 1980s after the local airport was closed and a bunch of land became available for use and could be bought cheaply. As a result, the track has some pretty long straights, as well as some street type aspects as you approach the warehouses at the far corner of the track.

On the map:

- 62 missions, including several “careers” ranging from time races to car chases, collections, artificial intelligence races, and everything in between.

- The race course is 3.17 miles long and takes about two and a half minutes to complete in the GTIV Spec K series.

- Sand Dunes. In the very south of the map along the oceanfront you'll find massive sand dunes with giant dune-to-dune jumps. To the northeast of the large open dunes are several wooded dunes similar to those on the Oregon coast. These dunes have 50-100 trails winding between the trees.

- 5 smaller race tracks. In addition to the larger full-size track, there are smaller tracks scattered in and around the Xero Parklands Motorsport Campusall with artificial intelligence running both missions and free-running.

- A drift track, as well as 3 more drift zones, 2 driving schools, and a drift mountain.

- Off Road. For those who like a more relaxed and slower ride off the beaten path this map has two trials trails: one goes almost from corner to corner and passes through two different mountains, and the other goes up a very steep hillside turning back to the watchtower. There is also a full off-road park on the race course where you can test your Jeeps and trucks with a variety of RC Crawler style obstacles such as a log bridge and a ladder climb. Oh, and we must not forget the giant mud bog with very deep mud pits up to 6 feet deep in several places.

- 2 “player's houses” designed for spending time and modifying your cars;

- 3 gas stations (not yet operational);

- A bunch of configs that are used in Ai races and other such missions.
