Tracks Goodwood Circuit

[mantasisg]

Hello, I've decided to start a thread for this project. I wonder are we hyped after this Goodwood Revival ? I surely am. I really love classic cars, and Goodwood Circuit. Not only because of great historic cars events, but mostly because the track is astonishing, it is just perfect in my opinion.

As soon as I have been informed that LiDAR data of Chichester is publicly available, it took me no time to start digging into it I wouldn't know it if it was not for a guy who started FOS thread, and there members pointed out about this fact. I'm really happy. Also as usual big thanks to @LilSki, who once again dragged me from the darkness and informed about the intensity data, without which I was slightly "lost" in the point cloud Quite a critical turning point.

I'm not a pro modeller, but I'll give my best. I'm already more than confident that this version is and will be even more better than outdated available conversion.

A superb guide to the track:

Early stages and it already looks miles better than any other Goodwood I've seen for a sim. Eagerly awaiting this gem!

I just realized that you're probably an only person who did a proper car mod and a track mod from scratch. Kudos to you man!

 

[Vladislav Kurochkin]

Cool!

Though the track became official, so technically it is not a mod, and car was not released, so perhaps I'm the first one

What a nice surprise, looks fantastic already!!

Wasn't there someone else doing the hillclimb too?

 

[mantasisg]

Yes, one guy seemed to be committed to do it, but haven't heard much since... Maybe hype vaporized. I hope not.

But that motivated me to go for Goodwood Circuit.

OMG, what happened with that car?
Can't wait for Goodwood, such a nice track. It will perfectly fit to the Jag. And to the Merc

I'd rather have the circuit anyways

the real track is so clean now, it looks like CG. Can`t wait to give it a try!

 

[mantasisg]

Thanks @martinsh lots and lots of work is left to do, but it is fun already, can't wait to share it. While driving it seems just ok already, but in the replay slightly too empty. First thing I'll do today will be to replace terrible roses texture to proper hortensia texture

People were laughing at me when I asked what are those flower in a chat of the Revival stream

Thanks @martinsh People were laughing at me when I asked what are those flower in a chat of the Revival stream

Flowers man. Everytime I'm on holiday garden watering duty at my parents I'm told the name of every plant and what it needs, and every time I've forgotten a day later

 

[mantasisg]

By the way, Hortensia is a real deal, no joke, people ! It can be deadly :/

But I guess there is a reason why none of us ever thinks to eat a flower haha

The things you learn building tracks hey?

 

[simseany]

Thanks for taking this on, love Goodwood!
Looking forward to it!

Should I go for complete perfection and model it for upcoming five years and release just after its done, or should I release it in early state this weekend so we all could have quite some good time with 250 GTO, and then I would continue to improve the track for the rest of etternity ?

I was amazed how much "wrong" the old Goodwood mod is when I have tried it few days ago, and I used to like it for IMMERSION. I think it is about time for it to go to well deserved rest, people were using it a lot for many many years...
