Heartland Park Topeka, "Where the BEST Come to Play", is now available for Heat
damned fine work, dude. Really good to see this sort of thing keep coming for HEAT.
I have one problem, that is when my car leaves the pit when pitting under auto, it goes haywire when rejoining the track. It wont release from auto control either. Anyone else have this? I can circumvent it by manual pitting.
It's an interesting track, not the sort I prefer myself as its got lots corners but I am enjoying learning it! Great work
