Beautiful color and light effects. I like it.

I also noticed with my Atlantica/Aquatica project that the original is not optimal everywhere.

Wow! This looks amazing so far! The original night version is indeed very dull and liveless as it already was in NFS3. With these ambient lights and the lamp poles working is is already a completely new experience.
It just would be even greater with some windows illuminated by "glowing" polies as you did with the Acapulco night version. Maybe some glowing water effects caused by underwater lights aswell ;)
And I have to say that I am a tiny tad disappointed by the fact that you did not use Zacabeb´s "Atlantica Neo" as a base. I know that you did not because of legal issues and permissions... but seeing the big glass pyramides with the palm trees inside illuminated would almost give some instant goosebumps

  Thanks! I didn't go with the glowing poly trick since it would have taken way more work given the sheer amount of buildings in the track. And I decided to go with the vanilla Atlantica as a base since I first took it as a lighting test
