NFS World x Assetto Corsa - Download is here!
It's finally ready! 🔥
After many hours of work, the NFS World map for Assetto Corsa is now available for download!
In case you didn't know, the NFS World map is a blend of NFS Most Wanted and NFS Carbon, meaning you can cruise through both Rockport and Palmont in one massive open world. And if you've got a VR headset... You may want to experience this world "in person" ;)
I've written a few notes below to help you get started and make the most of the map:
------------
Tested with
CSP 0.2.12-preview1
Pure 2.65
------------
How to install
Install 7zip, if you haven't done so.
Download the 2 files; 'put_me_together.zip.001' and 'put_me_together.zip.002'.
Right-click the 'put_me_together.zip.001' > choose '7-zip' > 'Extract here'
There should now be 'mauleous_nfs_world.zip'
Drag-n-drop 'mauleous_nfs_world.zip' to Content Manager
------------
Adjust Performance - hiding far away objects
Open the map's 'extension' folder -> 'assettocorsa/content/tracks/mauleous_nfs_world/extension'
Open 'ext_config.ini' using notepad (or other text editor)
Search for this text: 'Optimization by hiding objects to improve performance'
Adjust the number of 'LOD_OUT'. Smaller number should give better performance, but shorter view distance.
------------
Single player traffic - free
Use the built-in Traffic Planner
Can be found in game > right-side bar > Object Inspector > Tools > Traffic Planner
------------
Single player traffic - paid
Use 2Real app: https://2real.ac/
------------
Online traffic
'fast_lane.aip' can be found in -> 'assettocorsa/content/tracks/mauleous_nfs_world/ai'
Known issue:
Traffic cars are moving super slow when using AssettoServer.This is because the traffic lanes were exported from Traffic Planner.
Workaround for that issue when using AssettoServer ->
set 'DefaultDeceleration: 0.00000001' in the 'extra_cfg.yml' file.
Known issue:
Traffic cars would disappear or behave weirdly in intersections. Because intersections are not defined in the ai line.
------------
Warnings
This map is heavy ⚠️
For comparison:
My PC Spec: RTX 3080 10GB, i7 11700K, 32GB RAM.Flatscreen performance: 1080p @ 40-50 fps.
VR performance: 3072x3216 @ 25-36 fps
I had to reduce the amount of physics WALL to improve performance.
Therefore, try not to hit the wall / building. Otherwise, there's a high chance you'll be falling through the map.
------------
That should be enough to get you rolling! I really hope you enjoy exploring and reliving the nostalgia of NFS World in Assetto Corsa.
For now, make sure you do all your racing in the game. On the street, drive safely and responsibly... And wear your seatbelt :)

Man, first time ever in this map, runs at around 45ish fps 1080p, rtx 3050 4gb. I was surprised that it even ran! Such an optimized map! Some buildings are straight up holes, even slightly touching them will transport you to the underworld. But other than that, such a goood map this is! Thanks for making it accessible for all of us!
Thanks for the report! I was worried not many people could experience this since I thought the map was too heavy. So I'm pleasantly surprised that your setup can play the map too! The missing walls were the compromise I took for this one. But I aim to improve that for the next "NFS World 2" map :)
hey I'm having issues. if I don't have CSP 0.2.12-preview1 Pure 2.65 and if i have 12gb ram - does it mean it will not work ?
Hm... I have never tested the map without CSP and Pure. I believe that using the free version of CSP should work as well. As for Pure, maybe try playing the map without it and see if it works? Alternatively, try to google "Sol" (and the latest CSP that works with it) 12gb RAM might be tight... But I'd still encourage you to try
hi, i tried downloading following your instruction, but map is not appearing in the game (like the game couldn't see the file). i have same csp as you. do you know what can be the reason?
Interesting~ My only guess is that the zip files were not extracted properly... Could you please retry following the instructions I wrote? Also please note that the map's name is "NFS World" inside Content Manager. And yes, please use Content Manager to install and play the map.
Does this have comfy map teleport areas?
Nope, the map does not have comfy map teleport areas.
Dear Mauleous Gaming, map is great and performs at 90 fps in vr for me - but SO MANY things flicker WILDLY making it impossible to enjoy - EVERY lit texture like windows etc is flickering like crazy. Would it be possible to fix, please? Thank you very much
Thanks for the report. Let's see if I can find a fix for that~
Hey, map looks really good and runs at 70-100 fps on 1440p for me, but there are huge stutters at regular intervals. Game is installed on nvme. Am i missing something, or is some specific setting causing this? Any ideas?
Hi there~ Unfortunately, I don't know what might have caused such regular interval stutters. What I could suggest to try would be: - Reduce the distance to hide objects (I wrote instruction about this in the post) - Turn ON (or OFF) the "extended physics" option in CSP settings. But yes, this is just my guess and not sure if it would solve the issue. If someone else know other things to try, please do share~
hey man. the tunnel going from downtown rockport to kempton & downtown palmont is blocked off and there are missing textures and stuff. is it on purpose or is this a glitch or smth? if yes, why?
Hi there~ that area is not finished, just like how it is in the actual NFS World. In the NFS World, you can't even enter the tunnel. Read more about it here: https://nfsworld.fandom.com/wiki/Lower_Rockport_West_Side All I did was porting the map of NFS World, including the unfinished areas.
hey man, just looking to install and it seems "put_me_together.zip.002" is not installing as a zipped archive so cannot be opened in 7zip or WinRAR. is this supposed to be added to the other file as the name implies? or is it just a mirror link?
Hi there~ you don't need to extract "put_me_together.zip.002" by itself... Just like in the instruction I wrote, you only need to: - put ".001" and ".002" in the same folder - right click ".001" file and extract it - 7zip will automatically read both ".001" and ".002" Let me know how it goes~
it runs at around 60 fps but lows are horrible xd.
Thanks for the feedback! Let's see if I can do more optimization to such large map in my next work ><
Would perhaps be interested in porting this into beamng? I think you would get ALOT more support there
Replying the same here for visibility: At the moment, I don't have any motivation to port NFS world map to BeamNG. So, there's no plan to do that. I would encourage you and BeamNG community to try doing it. If you are looking for a starting point, there is this youtube video about exporting blackbox-era NFS maps to Blender: https://youtu.be/bjHpOhQqzsw
hey. great work! check out new CSP streaming feature https://gist.github.com/gro-ove/18e445cda9ca10605151434dcd663a58. it potentially may gain some performance
Oho, this looks promising! Thanks for sharing this 👍
Hi, I try to fix traffic lanes with Ks_editor. I save as resampled lanes but not working, Teleporting and flying. I'm not sure but will try to remove border lanes from each fast lane .ai in Blender. Cars jumping on lanes because they are 3 in 1 file, for server is need only ideal line....
Wooow~ Super cool that you're trying to fix the traffic lanes! As I wrote in the post, the "fast_lane.aip" is just exported lanes created using Traffic Planner. And I haven't seen anyone able to fix exported lanes for online use. But yes, I hope somehow you can make things work!
I can't install this track can you help me? when I try to extract the file it gives me an error
Interesting~ Could you please try to follow the "How to install" step-by-step in the post again? If so, I don't know what else to try to fix your issue :(
Anyone got a good online server with traffic? Map is outstanding brother. bravo!
Thanks man! I hope there will be someone who's willing to setup online servers with this map~ fingers crossed 🤞
OMG,,,, I usually don't write comments,,,, but this time I must,,,,, awesome world,,,,didn't know that this is possible in AC,,,,,Kunos need to hire you asap,,,,,,,Thank you so much,,,,,also this world is real HEAVEN for formula DRIFT,,,,,,,10 stars for you,,,, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐,,,
Thanks so much for the kind words! Haha I envy that you get to enjoy drifting in this map~ I gotta learn how to drift too x)
Great mod, awesome work! Finally I'm able to actually drift on those maps that I enjoyed so much as a kid in NFS. Runs suprisingly smooth as well with standard map settings, 1440p Max AC settings and 300 cars AI traffic - still hitting my 240 FPS cap without issues (RTX5080, 9800X3D), just long initial loading time :D
Thanks so much man! Super glad that you get to enjoy the map with such a good fps too! I'm also still learning how to drift. I noticed that the roads in Palmont have many curves as if they were designed for drifting :D
You moved me so much bro, you took me back 19 years ago :') I always dreamed of driving a car I made myself, with a mod, in a calm manner. I spent my summer holidays playing nfs carbon when I was a kid. Congratulations, it's a very successful and perfect map rep+
Thanks for the nice words man! I'm glad that it is now possible for us to visit Rockport and Palmont in person, in whatever car we want :D
thanks man I really enjoyed the map. i made a free roam run in my youtube channel , will mention your patreon , thank you keep the good work on
Thanks man! Super happy to hear that more people get to enjoy my work~ Game on! :D
Love the Mod thanks for your work, I have to say while it is amazing to see nfs map, It kinda feels a bit bumpy when driving with low cars a lot of them are scraping the floor badly with some straight jumping, Also at night stop Lights are white. Otherwise an amazing mod I'm sure that with few tweeks over time it would one of the best mods for AC..
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! If I ever decide to improve the roads & stop lights, I'll surely share with you all 👌
Really good mod.
well done buddy, congratz for ur job! Let me ask, i cant open an online server, assetto server keeps closing, any tips?
Thanks man! About AssettoServer keeps closing, my first tip would be... Don't double-click the "AssettoServer.exe". Instead, open a CMD / terminal first, and run it from there. You should be able to see the error message and work it out from there. I recommend going to their Discord to see the FAQ and ask further question.
Hey look, the streets i basically grew up in are in ac 😄 Nfs world speedometer coming for free soon too from our side - welp as soon as much needed CSP UI fixes are made public... without these we have some unwanted effects...
This is really INSANE!!! What a wonderfull lay-out. Those details and elevations and camber turns. Just love it. Was cruising around in VR in a open Ferrari 312/1967 and couldn't believe what is saw lol. Laptop rtx 3060 5i Quest 3 sometimes a little stagger but no biggies. JUST WONDERFULL bro. Well done!
Whoaa thanks so much for sharing this! I'm so glad to hear the map works on your laptop RTX 3060! Have fun cruising! :D
by far the most beautiful thing ive ever witnessed! What a lovely job you have done mate!
Hehe credit goes to the artists and developers who made the original game. But yes, I also got super excited the first time I saw the map in VR 🥹
And what to do with zip file 02? Thnk you so much for all the work.
Thank you! As for the .002 file, 7zip will automatically read both .001 and .002 files when you extract the .001 👌
I got errors about track not found :(
Oh no... Did you follow the steps in 'How to install' and drag the 'mauleous_nfs_world.zip' file to Content Manager?
I got errors in my downloads. CM says "missing ui track.json" outline missing, preview missing
Interesting... Did you follow the steps in 'How to install' and drag the 'mauleous_nfs_world.zip' file to Content Manager?
gonna test with an RX580 and an i7 3rd gen, i'll bring feedback
as promised: here's my feedback based on an old PC: runs nice, it's kinda laggy at some heavier points, like Downtown Palmont and other loaded centers, but overall performs well
RTX3090 - 1440p - 95-130 fps with max settings in CM. Works fine TYSM ❤
What CPU and RAM do you have? I am getting big stutters but otherwhise smooth experience
geil!
