WIP!
INSTALL: Replace all files.
I am not sure if the km's are correct. I use this odometer. (dl from RD) Testing the Valley alone gets a bit too much sometimes, so I may have the numbers wrong.
Sterkfonteindam Valley Ai behaving:
Version v0.3
Note: There are some floating trees near KooperPass after some terrain editing... please ignore these as I'm re-designing/re-packaging files to make smaller xpacks. I already deleted all trees and used this .kn5 tree object file from a previous build just for visuals. I'm learning!
Added 5 Circuits to the Valley.
All circuits can be raced against Ai. You can also drive to all of these places in freedrive. For now freedrive shares KooperPass's pit area and start position for practice.
Only freedrive does not have any Ai/map. The Ai lines does not seem to want to overlap when recording the spline, I will have to figure something out for a map for freedrive...
IMPORTANT:
KooperPass Race with faster Ai:
At 8km in there is a jump, it does not go well for fast Ai. Apologies. Will be removed with next update. I will learn to not record Ai spline with F1 cars.
Note: I've added all files to their corresponding folders:
content/tracks/sterkfonteindam/...
extension/config/tracks/...
Extract the sterkfonteindam.rar to:

Online multiplayer gameplay works at the moment.
Track Objects & Assets
-Minimum assets for now.
-Textures/Objects (Environment) will be changed on a ongoing basis until all is good.
When I feel confident with a non broken update I will upload. Till then, please enjoy.
Thank you.

Progress Update: 18 January 2020 – Not yet ready but wanted to give an update.
It’s a huge terrain, maybe even to optimistic. I'm busy building a small farming like community. So far everything works fine. I will share in the near future.
The track expanded with new roads and a mountain pass. I'm trying to interconnect everything.
What started out of curiosity has become an obsessional hobby. Taking my time to learn and implement. Progress is slow, sometimes consistent. All seems to be working as I now utilize the correct texture methods and file extensions & a whole lot of other stuff. It’s growing, it’s working, I’m getting better with road meshing and object creation. All is good, but slow.
Some changes:
Still in learning, struggling, & implementing phase:
- Proper directional boards. The place is big and even I get lost.
- Added lots of km’s.
- The road layout changed as I smoothed out most corners and made some straights different. Some corners had several nodes (bezier) where only 1/2 was needed. I also did this to smooth out the terrain.
- Road's width was 16m. It is now 8-9m max. The immersion changed. The track scale also got affected by this and the elevation changes are more dramatic now. Was a thriller to get this done, but all seems to be working great.
- kstrees with correct shader settings.
- All texture.dds files now.
- World objects are unwrapped, baked.
- My list of homes, buildings, farms, fields, plants, trees, fences etc., its growing.
- Busy with grass. It’s a struggle still. Targeting specific areas.
Please do stay tuned and see me progress the track as well as my personal skills.
- Tarmac/Asphalt design/shader according to LilSki instructions. How to make a realistic looking road.
I've also been checking these by LilSki. Thank you so much sir.
Youtube Video Series Part 6 - This helped a lot.- Groove. This one is stranger to me.
Best regards
