Open source & uncompleted projects

Ryan Callan · Feb 4, 2011

After some requests, this thread is to house and discuss unfinished projects that others would like to pass on and open up for others to complete or view their methodology.

Ground Rules

Posters

Do not upload uncompleted projects to RaceDepartment. Use a fileshare site, preferably MegaUpload, MediaFire or FileFront.
When posting, link to the files and also to the WIP thread if applicable. If you do not have an active WIP thread, please create one.
State a rough percentage completion according to your opinion.
Make sure to include any important details, such as required XPacks etc. Give as much detail, succintly, as possible, to help the following person to pick up your project easily, such as the direction you felt your track was taking.
Projects may not go in the direction imagined, once finalised, however this is the risk you take when posting uncompleted ideas.

Downloaders

This is not a thread to discuss in detail methodology and problems, please use the WIP forum threads for this.
Most importantly, if you do end up releasing a track after completing, make sure you include all credits of the persons involved. Respect others work!

Durban isn't going well, I may post it here so I can focus on Beijing and Lippo.

Kyle Puttifer · Aug 10, 2011

Is anyone interested in picking up Durban?
Currently, most of the roads are in place and a lot of the road markings are done. Track merging isn't very good, that will need some work.
There are barriers all around the track.
The pit garages are done as well, you will definitely like them.

Most of the curbs are in place, and I've modified the texture to be more like the real thing.

The reason I'm considering posting it here is because it hasn't turned out as well as Beijing and Lippo, and I don't want to start again.

:fwd: Additional idea: maybe also worth it to put this suggestion in the Modding section of F1Classic Kyle, (also in the thread of the old Durban that was never released), fair chance of someone picking it up from there sooner or later.

Kyle Puttifer · Aug 10, 2011

On F1Classic there are a few members (Slimjim, Beemer, nh racing etc) who CAN be trusted. Beemer in particular helped me with the sounds for the A1GP 2008/09 mod.
I can't trust the majority of the members at F1C though.. They may take the WIP and claim it as their own. People here won't do that AFAIK.
Therefore it will remain here unfortunately, unless you can recommend someone from F1C who may have time?

Kyle Puttifer · Aug 14, 2011

Stuff that, I've posted a "PM me if you are interested" thread on F1 Classic, and here you can download the project:

Once I have time, I'll see what I can do. Hope a more accomplished track wizard picks it up first though.

Hey guys...

some of you might remember my BETA release of parramatta park. it went viral for a little while when i first let the BETA go, and got downloaded a couple of thousand times off my server! LOL.

imho, this track had/has the potential to be the next 'Longford', both in terms of depth of texture, and immersion and play environment. the track is difficult and dangerous (yay for 1950's racing!) and a true pleasure to push a car around.

I really just dont have the time to spend on this to get it finished! Id really really love to, but it just doesnt seem to get off the ground again. Based on feedback from some of the threads i read with people playing the BETA release, it really does deserve a good finish, and a formal release, so PLEASE HELP ME!!

I can certainly give a hand in getting this finished, i have heaps of onsite images to help with any further textures, theres 2 building models that need to go in, and a general tidy up. or you can really get carried away with it! thats up to the inspirartion of those who pick up the torch!

It really would be a shame not to see this get a final release, so here she is!

G'day Ed & anyone else reading this.
Has anyone else decided to take a crack at finishing this little beauty?
I can only take it as far as BTB will allow though, so if it needs more work afterwards someone else will need to take over.
I've started finishing off an intersection, some terrain & the main road adjacent to the park as well as doing some/an alternate AIW's for the bike circuit.
I'm not stepping on anyone else's toes in taking this on am I?
Lastly, I've been slowly learning SketchUp, would you have some images of those two buildings please Ed & some reference as to where they go please?

My first real world circuit
Killarney, Cape Town
http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Killarney

The source file is included here
http://www.mediafire.com/?ok9u5mi2jepxswt
but I have taken out all the Xpacks used to reduce space. However, I have included a list of Xpacks used. If you want to improve the circuit, contact me through RaceDepartment or RFactorcentral (Rockett_Man).

KieferDJW · May 29, 2012

thanks for the link raido, haven't seen it before

by the way, I've planed to add a night and a winter version of my Apricot Hill Raceway. But it seems that I'm running out of time to finish that.
Anyone interested?
Thanks in advance

Free for anyone to do anything with it as I have moved to rF2 and have no means of making track for rF2. Remember that textures are not mine, they are free to use and makers of textures should be credited if going to use them.

Here is my little contribution to this thread, 5 BTB proyects, stages from Spain (malaga-Mijas), real roads of Rally Mijas 2009 with Zaxxon Method and MTD05 elevation data.

You can do what you want, I want to make the entire Rally but it will take a lot of time, you can export and upload your version if you want.

they are sketches, that is what Zaxxon method brings to you if you use MTD05 elevation data.

Hello, just found your project on another website as megaupload got shut down ages ago. I just wanted to ask how you did the elevation and camber changes in the first sector, did you have a data source or was all done by perspective?

I've only tweaked the AI and added random trackside camera's so far so I could drive around it to see what it was like, and uploaded a video so others can see what I'm refering to.

Jonathan Johansson · Sep 13, 2012

I got a nice half finished track to get your teeth on, its very different looking and special

i hope someone wants to give it a go!

Thought I'd just show what I've changed so far on the Durban Street Circuit compared to the first video. Still no where near finished, but I think I have made an improvement.

Kennett Ylitalo · Sep 30, 2012

You need to seriously decrease panel lengths in corners...

I've stopped working on Durban as I believe Kyle A.K.A PieLighter has given someone called Jalnervion permission to finish the project for F1C and rFactor.

Mangoletsi · Oct 1, 2012

Here is a video of the Kyle/PieLighter approved Jalnervion version which is classified as being 75% complete and almost ready for release. I have had nothing to do with this version.

Erwin Greven · Oct 1, 2012

Watching the video, it looks as if the track is some 50% ready.

tbh, why should you quit your version? Keep working on your own circuit.
