Laserscanning to be Banned from July in the UK

[Chris]

Those beams are simply too strong for race track surfaces

Jet fuel can't melt laserscanning beams.

This is how a laser face scan can damage.

I'm just confused about this being a UK-wide ban. Why not just leave it up to the independent tracks? If they want to ban laserscanning, fine, it's their call. But why ban it at all British tracks?

 

[Alex Townsend]

Well done. 1st of April... 25% damage... it's a good one

In the future, sim devs can only buy lancer scanned file sets from other devs who have already made the file sets ?

tHE GORVENAMENT is afraid to people know the real measurements of the places and roads ... wiitch their maps are totally inaccurate .That what they fear most ... totally ridiculous this !

They may take our Silverstone, our Donnington, our Brands Hatch, but they will never take...

OUR SPA!!!

This was a masterful April fools joke.

No way, sim racing is not THAT popular, most governments could care less if these magnificent circuits deteriorate. But I'm relieved nonetheless. Although I'm not from the UK, classic tracks like Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Donnington Park and Oulton Park would be missed severely, and it's not above politicians to make such ludicrous laws.

 

[howitzer155mm]

Laser scanning is a hoax, and the process is actually done by creating a plaster mold of the circuit, by covering every square inch of tarmac, then a 1:1 replica of the circuit is made out of silicone and brought to the studio and replicated in Blender by one person. RIP.

(Maybe that's how ISI makes their content, that would explain a lot)

So i made the trip to the Nordschleife last weekend, sunny weather and decent track temperature. Guess what its even worse ...

Well at least we can enjoy this track virtually, still sucks
(can a mod get a Touristenfahrten server going?) #dirtconfirmed

Note: no thats not my car!
