LONGFORD 1967 – ADD-ONS

This Add-ons pack for the Longford-67 track for Assetto Corsa features the following visual enhancements :-

  • Three animated trains, representing engines and carriages that operated during this period. They travel along the actual train tracks.
  • Two animated motor boats, with animated propeller washes, including a rescue boat, that probably operated during this period.
  • Four animated biplanes, that do various aerobatics and fly-pasts. Not necessarily period-correct, but they add a bit of visual interest.
  • The railway level crossing lights now flash red, and in the correct alternating sequence. Some AC variations of this track had flashing lights in the wrong colour, and in the wrong sequence.
  • Four new Replay Camera sets, including Helicams and some high-altitude views, showcasing the incredible detail made by the original track creator, Woochoo (also known as SW, a fellow Tasmanian).
  • Updated circuit signwriting, now showing the period-correct liveries.
  • Updated officials/flag marshal stands. For some reason, in certain variations of this AC track conversion, the models were duplicated, and conflicted with each other, and the textures were missing. Affected stands were at Mountford Corner, Newry Corner, and just past the start line.

PRE-REQUISITES : 1) You must already have the original Longford 67 track - download here : - https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/longford-1967.2741/

2) Also, you might like to try this alternative AI fastlane file :- https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/longford-67-new-ai-fastlane.126721/

(Otherwise, I have included a new AI for you.)


3) Content Manager and Custom Shader Patch, to provide animations, including animated grass, and waves on the water. Search the interweb for these.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS :

All files must be loaded manually. Suggest back-up replaced files first. Hopefully I’ve included all the files needed.

Add all enclosed files into the folders shown in the folder hierarchy.

Some interesting facts – when Formula 1 cars raced at Longford in the 1960’s, scuba divers were positioned by the bridges, to rescue drivers, in case a car crashed into the river. Also, it was recorded that race meetings were suspended to allow trains to pass over the part of the track where the level crossing was situated.

absolutely great! But some airplanes sometimes stand still during the flight...

It's a quirk with Blender, the program used to create the animations. When the course of their flightpath is completed, there is a momentary freeze until a new course commences.
One of my fav tracks on AC. However is there anything we can do about the 2d crowds. I hate them so much. I don't mean removal. Perhaps less of them and slightly less conspicuous
or maybe switched to 3d models just a lot less of them. The place doesn't have to be crowded. Maybe just not many people turned up that day.... :)

Absolutely fantastic.
Something like that brings life to the race track.
But, and this isn't a criticism but a comment because I wouldn't be able to do something like that, the trains crossing the level crossing during the race. That's not very realistic.
Great work. The AI is improved but you're right that the AI Fastlane one is better. Or it is at least with the vintage grid ran.
This is incredible. What a great addition to an already great track. Well done and thank you.
This is great, thanks. One of my fave tracks made even better.
I nearly shat though when a train went across the rail crossing in front of me in VR.
It's really beautiful. We rediscover the track. Thank you.

This absolutely blows me away. Love the biplane acrobatics and the fact that they cast shadows, and that the motorboat creates a wake. And there's something about seeing a train at the grade crossing or going over the arched bridge as you're racing under it, or the speck of a plane in the distance, that just adds another whole dimension to the circuit and the race atmosphere. Brilliant stuff.
nice =)
One of the coolest things ever for AC
Nice Job! love this track! HeHe have since rfactor! And Assetto! :-) Annd as a fellow Tasmanian ! ;-)
