Tracks Riverside International Raceway

Woah, can't wait! I drove the F40 stock on your track (long) in the weekend and finally went below 1.50, not sure where it stands but great feeling at every corner and raw power on the straights, I love the F40 there.

Sick dood. A work of art. Nice job Tberg!

 

[Lankyleo]

love the rubberred in track effect, dirt/marbles off line look great.

Another track layout you say. Ah FFS.

That's not the attitude I expect from my camera slave!

Oh man, just drove the C9 for a dozen laps around the NASCAR layout. Huge fun!

I hate to be that guy but if youre going for historical accuracy the blimp has a modern paint scheme.
It was like this in the 80s.

Huh yeah you would be right. I thought by the 80s it was blue and yellow. Overall a simple fix. Thanks for the heads up!

Well given the news you sent me, I am not unhappy.

I knew the man in charge would put extra labour on me....

I´ll keep the yellow/blue one, silver one will be made for sure!

Thanks

Workin away at more details.

Select RVs have fan flags flying.

These guys are just hangin out

Experimenting with tracks in the sand on key corners.

are you telling us these flags use the skin's Livery.png as texture... now how does that work?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Still not finished this track?? I have been on holiday for a whole week - I expected it to be completed by the time I returned

Looking great though, 'Ski

Kunos, hire that guy so he can do all the US-tracks.
Amazing details on this track, and it’s not even finished.

Right now I have a certain texture for them. I kind of wanted specific flags from 1988 Nascar season. I could have it work with the AC_CREW tag like the pit lane tents and haulers. If I do that will happen in the end when I do the final object grouping of the RVs.

I haven't checked the progress of this track in a while...Wow! You are really outdoing yourself with this one, Lilski.The track surfaces, the sand, all the tiny details that make a good track into a great track, or in this case, a great track into an amazing track.

I remember when I moved to Southern California I got so excited when I saw the Goodyear Blimp up in the air, where it is stored. In fact, I didn't realize there were multiple Goodyear Blimps until moving to SoCal. Maybe that was foolish of me, but I really did think that only one was in service at any given time. Seeing it above Riverside International Raceway is going to be so cool.

and it is in silver now, hopefully in the next RIR update

Experimenting with methods getting the mental AI through the esses on lap 1. This is a confine "surface" which is set to invalid. Since it is so tall you can drive right through the sides if you have to. However, during the recording process for AI, it defines the outer edges of the spline. The end result is still a fairly slow trip through the esses on lap1 but they don't brake check you super hard like they do now. You can keep a more steady pace instead of the current stop and go traffic. They also seem to be faster in general through the esses after lap 1. For example before they would brake hard going into T2 with C7R and with this they tap the brakes only slightly or not at all.

I also used this to fix the kink or dogleg on back straight. I got it so they don't slam on the brakes if they are on the inside going into the turn.

Once done recording this kn5 is removed and the AI line will keep the recorded path.

Yesterday I had a race with the AI at Riverside and to my surprise the AI had no big problems with the esses. The car was the 787, the difficulty was set to 98%, track grip at 100%.

Yeah it all depends on how they start. But for me I test and record with the c7r and t2 and the esses are just about always a disaster. And they also sometime try to pass in the esses after lap 1 which never goes well so this method pretty much stops that.

Also for testing I run a full field and I start around 20th.
