Released Hondsrugring

[Bram Hengeveld]

How long is the very long straight Erwin ? Seems it will be possible to develop incredible straight line speed there, poor marshals that are working in the next right corner.

 

[Erwin Greven]

With a Porsche 917 it is 2700m flat out till the esses forces you to slow down a bit. With an F1 car you can take it flat out so you will drive flat out for 4.2km.

@Erwin Greven

I ALways ballence the colors and light in photoshop , unpack the Xpack, and open the files in PS, then save as DDs again, and addit to the folder it came from, and back into the RARed xpack, then you have a changed colored textures..

Many of the textures in the BTB libary/Xpacks, is often very strong colored, and to me that's all to much, it removes the details for realistic view, but again it all depends on the visuel experience you want to happen in your track..

Ex: from my first BTB Track project: IdyllischeStrasse..

It's still on a test basis (Collecting texture and ideas) so in Construction.

some older ones with tarmac, I will make a mix or 2 seperat version, i'm still a novice with BTB, so I could have said to much already hehe

the project sheet.

If you need some help understanding the process, please tell me, then i will help as much as i can, I for one needs lots of help on my way..

ps. one of the worst thing when creating tracks for RBR, is that you can't get shadows from the Veggies and stuff, so Hmm more creativity is needed, same goes for the Camera doesn't work, or I am still with out the knowledge to make it work hehe..

 

[Erwin Greven]

Thanks! I could use some help with the track.
My first priority is getting the basic track down. That means getting the track surfaces right, the armco, the height levels and the close TSO's

When i have build around the whole track the armco, signs and trees, i will upload it on a server. Then you can download the track and give advice, or help me build this track to a monster.

 

[Flagmo-T]

You got your self a deal Erwin just my thoughts as well..
you can always throw me a pm, when your are ready..

keep up the great spirit M8

Thanks.

This is an overview of a part of the track.

 

[Erwin Greven]

I have uploaded the track as it is now. It is not finished yet. I uploaded it as a backup for when my HD would crash.

Progress update:
I made the track 8.8m wide.
Basicaly the track is finished from Buinerveen till Drouwen. I am working now at parts between Drouwen and Gasselternijveen. Also the work at Gasselternijveen it self has started.

 

[Erwin Greven]

This one is causing me some headaches...

How to build a:

small update: i have started the works at this track again. I needed a break after 4 months of work. Also i discovered sketchup, although i don't know if it is a usefull program when it comes to building structures like houses for BTB.

 

[Erwin Greven]

Updates to the site: Some screenshots!

Started to work at the village of Gasselternijveen itself. Also used the viaduct of the new Ennis pack! Thanks mate!

 

[Erwin Greven]

I have decided to replace the viaduct in Buinen with the new "Ennis"-viaduct. The quality of this one is much higher than the one i build.

I am uploading now a full lap on this circuit. The setup of the BMW F1 car is a basic one.

Also you will notice a problem i have after exporting the track to rFactor. Somehow the horizon won't refresh very quickly and the trees and so on are very blurry. Is there a sollution for this?

keep in mind, it is still under construction.

 

[Erwin Greven]

i solved the problem with the texture details. It was a detail setting in rFactor itself.

this afternoon i will make a new video, with better textures.

 

[Erwin Greven]

Cobble roads.

I use some cobbles roads in my track.

Now i want to know if there is a way to smooth them a bit more. They are very rough to drive on, while the real roads are very smooth compared to them.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Looking forward to this Erwin

I use some cobbles roads in my track.

Now i want to know if there is a way to smooth them a bit more. They are very rough to drive on, while the real roads are very smooth compared to them.

have you actually tweaked the surface properties to give a cobbled feel to the road?

(i can imagine that might be nightmarish to drive on)

if so, you could try smoothing it out a bit and using a different material name for the track surface there.... i can't remember the details off the top of my head - but changing the road material prefix to broad - (no idea what the real names are) could give you the effect you desire... :wink:

 

[Erwin Greven]

The cobble road is by default very rough. It is found in the default xpack of BTB.
