A full list can be found in the included Readme. Appalachian RC has no Reversed version available, but as an easteregg you can race on the raw-version of the track instead! This version contains just the PRM-pieces as provided by Keyran's Rally PRM Kit. This way you can see how I started working on the track. Have fun!

It's not compatible with the original (Vanilla) Re-Volt, Re-Volt 1.2, or the GOG and Steam Versions of Re-Volt. + For best performance and increased graphic quality, it's highly recommended to use the shader renderer.
