Tracks Glencoe 0.71

[hal4000]

For me the map appears but not the car symbol. So I can't see where I am. But I like that map app. Way better then the default kunos one. Especially on a map as big as this one.

I use the trackmapdisplay and can see the map but the map is way smaller than it should be. Perhaps image resizing?

Take the MapDisplay folder from this link and put it in the apps/python folder of AC. It should give you functioning properly scaled Map

Nice job so far! Just wanted to report something I noticed. About 8-10 sec after leaving start area there is a patch of road that must not be labeled as road because as I drive across it, it says "Track Cut - Time will not count".

And massive frame drops at this part of the track.

And I never was in the area, but I don't believe they are blocking the road with roadbarriers.
Awesome track nevertheless, I recently made a big trip in AC to just say wow at everything

Where does the track end? Because the timing doesn't stop in hotlap when I reach the start line.

 

[TheFerraristo]

Awesome track! Only needs a map. Also, multiple layouts would be awesome! (like Lake Louise)

Grant Hendry updated Glencoe with a new update entry:

New Release 0.7 with major improvements

Update 0.7
Worked a lot on performance of the track and getting the textures, both road and roadside, looking a lot smoother and prettier. We can now introduce the Farmers Brown ring, a complex built using tax dollars for farmer brown to spin around at his leisure along with a rallycross track to match. Added more link roads for those to crash to catch back up. Added more variety to roadside surface and objects

Thanks to the Viking, Gunner and the legend of Moosanee Airport, Korvin

A very ambitious project. I do not want to rate this as yet, given there is no camera or map. Keep up the good work.

 

[aphidgod]

That's not how RD works... stop being sensible.

 

[RMR1]

Noticed after the update lots of road lines do not align correctly any more. There are gaps between road patches.
Great update though.
Performance seems to be significantly improved.

Really awesome project, however the shaders/textures are too dark when not illuminated by the sun for nearly all objects/terrain (there are a few buildings and the rock near the pit spawn for example which appear to be setup more correctly, but as a result stick out against the too dark surroundings)

This is most apparent at say 18:00 in clear weather or any time in heavy clouds.
the default filters mask this to a degree with autoexposure, however this is a band aid as all of the cars cockpits etc will be overexposed as a result

 

[Gunja]

Thank you for this awesome track.
I wanna suggest something for the next update. Maybe if you tried moving the pits closer to the zero point of the track to avoid cockpit/UI shake when setting up the car or chatting. I suppose it will remain free roam and in that case the pits can be anywhere. Later when you're driving toward the ends, the shake will be there but it would be less of a problem. IMO on such a huge free roam track, it is not important where you start your drive.

Try the Lancia Fulvia mod and you are in for a real shaky shake in vr

 

[Coyote1337]

Any chance for a fix or workaround to overcome the shaking? Seems like a persistent bug in AC engine than the track itself. Do the AC dev team know about this issue with big tracks?

 

[Hachiroku_88PL]

They do know, but it can't be fixed. Tracks this big are beyond what AC's physics engine can handle.

 

[Coyote1337]

I wonder then - what if the author of this track made a version consisting of a smaller parts of the full Glencoe for those having their jimmies rustled by this shake effect? Like smaller Nordschleife-sized 'circuits', Glencoe part 1, 2, 3 etc ?

Grant Hendry updated Glencoe with a new update entry:

Fixed some stuff i forgot to do in the last update

Fixed timing. Start/Finish is under the "Got Thirst" billboard

Fixed the floating walls and signs on the road to the quarry

That is all

[Lowsound]

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but the invisible wall still exists right near the Dank Shop by pits. It juts out of the shoulder like a foot into the far lane.

 

[alexnessie]

I did not know about that fix, thank you! If RD would let me, I'd change my review to 5-star now, sorry
