This is a big Stunt Arena located on the island of Svalbard. Svalbard (also
known as Spitsbergen or Spitzbergen) is a Norwegian archipelago in the
Arctic Ocean. North of mainland Europe, it is about midway between the
northern coast of Norway and the North Pole.

This map was made to take part at the Re-Volt World Birthday Contest 2022.

Designed to be played with the included car "Explorer". All 50 stars can be
catched with this car. Not tested with other cars than "Explorer"!

It's strongly recommended to use all the available camera views while
exploring this map. Especially at the uphill areas one of the onboard cameras
is the best choose.

Major features of Spitzbergen:

+ 50 Stars to find and catch
+ 30 minutes of included ambient music
+ Explore the inside of Toytanic!
+ Playtime between 1 and 2 hours
+ Included car: Explorer

Have fun!

+ This track is only compatible with RVGL 21.0930a or later. It's not
  compatible with the original (Vanilla) Re-Volt or Re-Volt 1.2.
+ For best performance and increased graphic quality, it's highly recommended
  to use the shader renderer. Set 'shaders = 1' in 'rvgl\profiles\rvgl.ini' 
  where 'rvgl' is the location of your RVGL installation.

Issues caused by not using the shader renderer:

+ A much higher chances to get framedrops.
+ Graphical issues, especially flickering translucent faces and lights.

Known limitations:

+ At the Toytanic no car shadow and skidmarks are visible.
+ No camera smoothing at the Toytanic (No "camera collision")
