Where to get Lidar data for SAR (South African Republic) if anyone knows?

So is there Lidar data for Road Atlanta out there? Just asking......

True....a proper version of Road Atlanta would be great.

Oh yeah, I forgot Emery's excellent database.

Are you talking about the angle from where Google takes images for the Maps?

Yeah, technically you could measure it from tall buildings.

For example this is 15 floors of balconies, assuming it's residential (which I know cause I'm familiar with the building) it's about 3m per floor meaning in 45m of height it moved 6.7m sideways.
Using trig you can work out that this photo was taken about 8.5 degrees from vertical.

Google Maps composes the images from strips (airplane flies over taking photos in lines) so at the scale of a race track this isn't going to be a single number, it's gonna depend where those planes were.

That value will also change side to side and top to bottom in a single image as well, because of the perspective.

Interesting note about the planes - I thought it was all from satellites

Stereo · Jun 26, 2017

I believe their high altitude ones (when you zoom out) are satellites to get 100% earth coverage but the good resolution over cities (and probably most of the US by now) is planes.

+1 on the mondello suggestion, would love to see it in assetto it's the only proper track we have in Ireland!!

Atlanta Motorsports Park would be a great addition to AC. Nice elevation changes, reminds me of Bilsterberg.

Good chance of lidar for that too. Also rf2 version could be used as a reference. That does not mean to convert it though.

I purchased rF2 just to drive this track, comparing to real life in car videos it appears spot on accurate.

Mitja Bonca · Jun 29, 2017

I drove it today in AC

I drove the version converted from rF2 for AC a few days ago. Quality is terrible to say the least, track surface obscenely bumpy, so much smoother in rF2.

I bought rF2 yesterday just to drive AMP, that is how much I love this track! hahah.

As I post this I ponder about how amazing a version by Mitja Bonca for AC would be

What did u think of the layout ? It reminds me of a more mature version of Bilsterberg

Mitja Bonca · Jun 29, 2017

I took rf2`s version as a reference, will be on same if not higher level.
Sorry to disappoint you, but layout seems to be nothing special, very slow track, difficult to pass. And hard for having some serious racing on it, because it`s so narrow too. But environment inside which the track lays it`s nice. It`s mainly intended for slower cars.
Need to do quite some modifications and new things to suit to 2017.

Finish Oky, upload it somewhere else and then start a new project

Sounds like an order! Yes sir.

Barber Motorsports Park is another interesting track, similar elevation changes although perhaps a bit wider than AMP

Barber is being made by Rigel off lidar.

Ahhhh that is great news. I had no idea, thanx for the info !!

Road Atlanta is another nice one. Although I'm not sure how many people are fans of that track. I drove it a lot in iRacing, high speed with some interesting turns for sure.

The Mazda MX5s would probably be perfect for AMP considering its width!
