AMS Modding - Tracks (Work in progress)

[Eric Rowland]

AMS is a superb sim but it would not be as compelling if not for all the work Patrick has done.
Thank you Pat!

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

Fewer trees you say? Not very many at Knockhill @Patrick Giranthon

Weird request re: Lime Rock but is there any chance/way to include the skidpad and make it accessible in one of the layouts? Ive always wanted a skidpad in AMS to play with in testing.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

True, your request is weird

 

[Fabian Balle]

I know there are a couple of old CART tracks from 1998 available for Stock Car Extreme. But is there any conversion for AMS ? Because I dont know how to convert it by myself.

 

[Dann Murillo]

I have most of the CART tracks "simply" ported to AMS. I can send them to ya.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Should come soon

Excellent work . Enjoy it while we wait for what follows.
P: D: What's next?

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Haaa, I will disappointe some of you.
I have no plan for a future track at this moment. This is due to few reasons :
- updating a track means A LOT of work (consumed by basic updates and often geometry work because of accuracy problems. And i add to the list all the weird things you find when you look closer). There are a lot of details many poeple don't even notice but a lot of hours are involved in them.
Considering the poor downloads counter we had on the last releases, it is not really motivating.
- Gringo has some real life things to do in the coming months. It means no help, no aiw, no curbs modeling, etc... I can't work without him at this moment...
- AMS development is nearly off. We pushed very hard to release high quality tracks in the last few months. Now the megapack is 28 tracks with many layouts and seasons.
- good bases are hard to find, and if base is not good, you add dozens of hours to prepare the track.

I know I will have a lot of "sad" clicks but I think the best thing to do is to enjoy all the things done.

I imagine that the amount of tracks and cars will never be enough. I would like to have 150 top quality tracks too, but with reiza content we have a good stuff to have fun

@Patrick Giranthon nobody could blame you for taking a break, considering the amount of work you have put in without one since the GSC days.
That also goes for the rest of the people who have been involved.
So although it's sad from our pov, thanks for all your work and enjoy yourselves.
Good luck to all in any future projects.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

That said, I started Carolina Motorsport some time ago. Even if there are some expected things to fix, and if you accept some lazyness on some little details, perhaps I can try to find time to finish?

I'm pretty sure your fans would be happy if you did.

WCP team is working on some tracks. Everyone interested can easily find their page with a search

 

[simmer]

a big thank you to team patrick for all your tracks.
and HOPEFULLY more tracks to come in ams 2

 

[Wilson Oliveira]

I also would like to express my gratitude to Patrick and team. AMS wouldn't be the same without your excelent work guys. Thank you and all the best.

 

[schlitty]

Nothing but gratitude and thanks for all the tracks you've brought to AMS. Cheers!

I finally decided to do CMP.
I redid all amrco and I have learnt how to deal with tirewalls.
Trees and bushes done too.
I had many problems with the terrain mesh but after hours of fight, I could handle roadverge (it can be done in 10 minutes if terrain is ok; here it was 3 hours... grrrr)
AO done on all buildings too and paddocks has been redesigned (Gringo found some time to put tents according to his AIW file).

Well, I like this track a lot

 

[Kenny Paton]

@Patrick Giranthon Okay that's great, now push it out and take that break.
