Horray, the storm is over! The terrible nightly thunderstorm caused a lot of damage to the environment, so the Spa kept closed the next day. This is the perfect chance for having another RC-car race at Spa-Volt! :) It was a sunny and warm day in the beginning of the autumn season. The sun is going down in the next hour and throwing long shadows over the bathing area. Crickets are using the chance for chirping maybe for the last time this year. Crows are circeling above the Spa, searching for crickets for their dinner. Who is the fastest in this most romantic and peaceful place on earth? Differences to Spa-Volt 1: + Weather: Sunny + Daytime: Evening + Surfaces: Still wet from the storm last night + Raceline: Much faster + Difficulty: A little bit easier + Also: Discover completly new areas! Major features of Spa-Volt 2: + Fast but challenging raceline + Alternate routes + Reverse mode + Special starting position + A lot of customizations (sounds, moving objects...) + Can you collect all the 12 practice mode ducks? + 2 racing ducks waiting for a Quack-attack! + Time trial times to beat + More eastereggs to find Have fun! :) Kiwi I N F O R M A T I O N S ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ + This track is only compatible and tested with RVGL + For best performance it's highly recommended to use RVGL's Shader Version + I got the idea for this track during an IRL Spa visit in February 2018 + There is a forum thread with a creation diary, which can be found here: http://forum.re-volt.io/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=151 K N O W N I S S U E S ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ + Possible graphical issues when using Non-Shader Version of RVGL, especially with mirroring effects and transparency. + Sometimes spark effects don't appear at all. This has something to do with a limitation of the amount of spark effects visible at the same time. + Big advantage in lap No. 1 in Time Trial mode, caused by the track concept.
