An updated version 2.0 of Mills is now available! During the early years of rFactor 2 track development, the resurrected Mills Metropark was our benchmark track – the kind of visual quality we hoped to achieve for all our tracks to come. Obviously – and thankfully – we didn’t stick to that plan, and this v2.0 is just the latest piece of evidence that shows the leaps we’ve made over the years. Not only does Mills feature the usual optimization pass and the implementation of the latest RealRoad and terrain technology, but we’ve also gone beyond the thorough cleanup of the existing artwork, by replacing a lot of the assets with higher quality models and higher resolution textures. And, last but not least, we added the missing short Inner A layout that plenty of people have requested!

I was gonna just practice as usual and then go clean up the leaves but ISI changed all of that. If that car in the pic is given to Us today then the rest of the weekend might belong to rF2.
Thanks, Tim & ISI gang. Quite a Changelog. Will give 'er a go this afternoon 'cause it's a wild and rainy day on the wet, west coast.
Let's try! but I will not sleep tonight with no more info about GT500... It's my favourite car of all in rF2 by far.
Not more than for me, that's for sure and don't even start arguing with me. You will lose! xD MY BABY IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very excited about this. I've done more laps here than at any other track. Heck I've done more laps at Outer Loop A alone than any other track. This is also my go-to track for testing and benchmarking cars. This is also a great online track because anything is fun to drive here.
I have to congratulate ISI here, finally a better looking track than mores, here all is perfect, the best ISI track easily. Thankyou very much for this!!!
No GT500 today guys, but obviously ISI hasn't shuttered the windows just yet (I read that on a site recently, it amused me).
Thanks ISI. Great track, great atmosphere, great layouts, great immersion, geat detail, etc. Any reverse versions included? Clios rock at this track. So do a ton of other cars (oh the RF1 memories of the Formula BMW @ reverse Mills). P.S. Tim, everytime you make one of these new-content-released/updated posts, it's very difficult to read on my phone because - and I'm guessing here - rather than leaving the text's colour on the default setting of auto, you're manually selecting black which results in all the OP's text being black unlike every other post which is displayed with white text (since I'm using the black themed Tapatalk preset rather than the white one). The changelog part of the OP is fine (white text on my end); it's just all the text before that which seems "hard-locked" to black.
Thanks Team Trackius this is a great addition, like what you've done with the Old Girl. The addition of the Short Layout is by far the greatest thing ISI have ever released bar none FACT! Time to get those Clios out again me thinks
