FlatOut 1 Chloe Collection

FlatOut 1 Chloe Collection is an impressive mod, especially considering it was created for a 2004 game that remained almost without modifications for many years, let alone large and high-quality ones. This is the second similar mod from this author after FlatOut UC Chloe Collection for FlatOut Ultimate Carnage.

The first thing that catches the eye is the new career mode, which has become similar to the career from FlatOut 2, with a cup system and finals for each car class. An "Arcade Mode" from Ultimate Carnage was also added with three types of races, one of which was cut by developers before the game's release. The Time Trial mode has also been modernized - now it allows not only competing with the ghost of your best result, but also more flexibly configuring the race:

• Choose nitro multiplier from 0x to infinite; remove objects on the track;

• Choose car upgrade level from 0% to 100%;

• Choose to count either best lap time or best time for completing three laps;

• And they even give us the ability to drive in reverse, which practically doubles the number of available tracks in the game, because when driving in reverse, tracks feel almost like new ones.
