[Stephen O'Sullivan]

Thank you to you and Patrick and others for your hard work and attention to detail. Chapeau!

Original track was done by fabfr06
We can thank him for his work
He has done an update for rf2 with the 2017 hotel and a new advertisement but I have decided not to implement. Buildings use originally single textures for walls, windows, etc. It was really painful to tweak the geometry to add real windows for pitbuilding for instance. Was not really ok to do this kind of job again for the hotel.
But it is not a big deal honestly, we can drive without

And the layouts 3 and 4 are not planned. They are so small... it is about driving school I think.


You will find a little inaccuracy about a kind of concrete+grass on some sides. I could not get a nice look about this so we will have grass only.
Apart from this, I think we have a really great track. Very technical. A french track not very known around the world probably but very used in France. You can find a lot if videos (le Vigeant , or le Val de Vienne).

I am in holidays, but cams from Luigi just arrived. Let's Gringo release it if he thinks all is ok .
Thanks to him for his work on this one. He redid all 3D curbs for instance.

How did you create the tracks for AMS?
Does Race Track Builder worth buying? It's quite expensive, so I want to make sure that the tracks created with it will work with Automobilista.

Thanks in advance for your replies, I'm new to this forum.

How did you create the tracks for AMS?

They are conversions of tracks originally from Simbin titles or rFactor 1 releases. I can't speak to the software but I know Blender is one program that is used and enjoyed by makers.

Race track builder is a piece of chit to me. I bought it and I regret.

3dsmax is a good option but complex. You can incorporate some tools for tracks, like Mario tools and Isi exporters. I only use this one to modify or create track things.
I don't know blender at all.

Hungaroring is a nice track that's missing from the game. It'll be great to see it in AMS sometime.

Started some time ago.
Really too poor in term of quality and polys. Doesn't worth an update to me. Too much work.

@Patrick Giranthon That looks superb. However, you must choose tracks with fewer trees.

I'm really happy to see that the chicaned layout will be included, too!

What is the car on the first two pictures?

 

[Dann Murillo]

That is the MCR Sports 2000, available via the Brit Pack or season pass.

This is lime rock right?

 

[Gasper Zupan]

Oh that is just great!! This really made my day. I wonder if Formula Truck jumps after the Uphill? Boooop booooop

Patrick,

will the "third" layout be the one with the blind chicane right after the Uphill?

@Patrick Giranthon You have my admiration simply for attempting to drive the Ultima GTR around Lime Rock Park.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

The race version is not so hard
