Tokyo's Shuto Expressway - Metropolitan Expressway

This is not my mod and I'm not selling it! From the official forum, I'm uploading the current version for modland users!

First and for most: I did not made any of the assets in this map, all of them were converted by NFM from the Xentax forum to assetto corsa. If the author wants i take it down.

Oh well, ok, This is the Shuto Expressway around Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama, about 100 kilometers of japanese highway to explore.

Features:
- LOD system making this big map work smooth even on integrated GPUs by loading much less assets at the same time in comparison to other ports
- Full night and weather condition support with emissive materials and lights across whole level loading dynamically as you drive
- A lot of PBR materials made from scratch or with the help of an AI
- Full traffic support with more than 200 kilometers of ai roads
- Parking spaces support
- Realistic map view
- Reverb and slap delay sounds in tunnels
- Speedcameras unlocking, with personal bests, conditions and progress tracking
- Steam Deck support
- Dynamic HDR Cubemaps to ensure proper lighting across the whole level
- Download size smallest as possible thanks to optimization

So yea, Credits to:

Known issues:
- Lua code is not unloading when changing level
- Lua code is not killing pending job properly causing a crash on a level change
- The navigation app is useless
- LODs appear way too late for small models
- Some models might have flipped normals if you see any place like that please attach (ALT+O) screenshot in the thread
- Some buildings might have the wrong material
- No collision mesh causing guardrails to eat vehicles
- Some weird shadings in some places
- The map is still very much playable with these bugs

Minimal requirements to run the map on low settings:
At least 12GB ram, BeamNG 0.23 and integrated GPU

Recommended requirements to run the map on Ultra settings:
16GB ram, latest BeamNG version, 4GB GPU
