Modslab - Wanli Skyway 1.1 - a maglev to race, a drawbridge, typhoons and fireworks [Changelog]

Hey everyone! Wanli Skyway 1.1 is out, and it’s a big update. It’s still the same 31 km straight road over the ocean, but now there’s a lot more to do on it than just holding the throttle down.

A 430 km/h maglev runs on its own track right next to the bridge, with a station at each end

Race it: stop behind a gate launch line, press Race and it’s you against the train to the other end. Most cars lose

Or ride it: stand on the gold pad in a station for three seconds and you’ll ride in the cab all the way across. Your car will be waiting for you on the other side

A second bridge is being built next to the first one, you can get there from the service area

There’s a girder machine working on it, cranes, barges and two missing spans you can jump (one at about 105 km/h, the long one at about 195)

The far end just stops in the air over the sea. You know what to do

At km 13 the bridge can open now. In Ships mode, every few minutes traffic stops at the lights, the bridge goes up and a tall junk sails through

In Stunt mode the bridge lifts to a 16 degree ramp. Jump it

It’s off by default, so the road stays perfectly flat until you turn it on

Real crosswind that pushes your car across the lanes at speed, with gusts up to 28 m/s

Rain, fog, big waves and lightning. Windsocks on the gantries fill up and storm signs turn on

The covered galleries work as typhoon shelters, there’s no wind inside

You can set it to off, random, or start a storm right now. Off by default

A line of green lights on the median that moves at the pace of your record, like the lights on an athletics track

Keep up with it and you’re on record pace. You can race your own best, the map record, or a fixed 200, 300 or 400 km/h

The timer now saves the full trace of every record run for this

Pass a traffic car close and fast and you get points: NEAR, CLOSE, RAZOR

Chain them for a multiplier. Touch anything and the chain is gone

Your best chain is saved as a record too

At night four barges out at sea put on fireworks shows with a finale. You can also launch one any time you want.

25 achievements, from hitting 300 km/h to beating the maglev to waiting out a typhoon. Records you already have count too

A Places list that takes you anywhere on the map in one click: all spawns, the drawbridge, both maglev stations and the end of the bridge construction

You can now set how fast traffic drives, from the road’s 120 km/h up to no limit. If you use the game’s simple traffic cars, they get replaced with real cars at high speed, because the simple ones can’t go faster than about 115

Traffic now uses all three lanes instead of sitting in one

The Wanli Skyway UI app (UI Apps, Gameplay) times 0-100, 0-200, 0-300 and 0-400, 400 m, 1/4 mile, 1 km, 1 mile, 5 km and 10 km with trap speeds, rolling 100-200 and 200-300, gate to gate and top speed. Every frame is timed, so it’s accurate to a few milliseconds. Records are saved per car

A speed camera on every gantry, 30 in total

Endless mode: after a certain point you get moved 16 km back with your speed and damage, onto a part that looks exactly the same. So the road never ends

Kilometre posts, launch lines with distance boards and braking countdown boards

A service area with pavilions, pine trees and a golden dragon, plus four covered galleries

All spawn points now face the direction traffic goes

New lighting masts and real Chinese lanterns

Trees, benches and lamps at the service area are solid now

Chinese licence plates on every car spawned on the map

New spawn previews taken in the game

10 spawn points now

Everything is in the app and in the radial menu: Sandbox, Wanli Skyway.
