Uhhhh, the 3rd Daytona RC within a little over month now

 

[Deleted member 130869]

I'm shocked at how it looks vs the original. Very good to have a legal version available, and very nice that permission was granted.

 

[LilSki]

Tire walls are not walls. Also DIP is still a tad high overall. Overall not bad and for once it doesn't seem to be an SRW rip.

 

[Andreas Knöpke]

Ha, that's the same track as the one on the AC Reboot page but apparently 5 days younger, I knew the pictures seemed familiar

What's the difference to the AC Reboot one?

 

[ltcars]

Is an oval version on the way?

 

[Epistolarius]

It is nice to have a version that's legal. And for once AI seems to work too.

I've seen a night version on Youtube a while ago but I assume that's based on a rip... would it be possible to do something like that (or like Yas Marina) with this one?

 

[Terra21]

ok thanks didnt notice it at all

nah mate not really interested in night tracks for AC driving cars without headlights in the dark aint my thing will let kunos worry about it lol. the youtube one is a SRW track which was taken down here not long ago

thanks i totally missed that .have now made them physical. and fixed the huge hole in the wall at turn 7 that someone pointed out. will wait and see if anything else pops up before uploading the fixes

 

[Epistolarius]

Daytona is a pretty well lit with floodlights. My question was not about headlights and more about the looks. Anyway, doesn't matter.

What a great addition to AC! Something I noticed is that the AI tends to brake at the start/finish-line and at the fast left turn in the infield.

AI in AC sure do some weird things and can often be hit and miss at the best times.but they seem to perform decent enough for racing when i have tested them here..but i guess the ai can always be looked at again in future if needed. not too sure if many people know this....but you can make your own ai lines in AC from the apps list ingame to suit how you want ai to perform.even though some tracks can be very hard to create good ai for especially tight street circuits where hints and boundaries come into the fold but really its not that hard to learn how to do

Edit: ninja'd!

You may be able to coax them around the circuit properly with some AI hints and adjustments to the line - I'm not the one to consult on that subject concerning track settings, my experience is on the car side. AC's AI system isn't ideal in a number of ways, but a lot of the problems people have are with it not being set up properly, not necessarily what's inherent to the game.

You are right. Even on Kunos Tracks the ai acts weird and brakes sometimes where they should be able to go full throttle. Especially at the red bull ring...
At your daytona the ai does have a very good pace in general and they even try to overtake. Had some intense fights yesterday. thanks again for bringing this great track to AC!

 

[Giovaneveterano]

The track looks gorgeous! It needs some minor surface details in both texture and 3D model, but it's a 9/10!
I had a pretty fun 40 laps race against other GT3 cars around here.
The AI at 100% runs in the 1.48 and behave very well, despite a couple of issues that other guys report previously

 

[Manian]

there's a hole in the banking

 

[aphidgod]

Florida is prone to sinkholes.

Could you please explain how to install this track once downloaded. I'm not familiar with RAR files.

 

[aphidgod]

Download a free program to unpack them - my preference is 7zip but winrar is still around too.

 

[Nojman47]

Thanks I appreciate it.
