Snetterton 2005 v2.0 by ZWISS for GTR2
======================================
Lasercutter and PKVfan gave me permission to update the GTR2 version of Snetterton.
It took a long time.. but this version will replace all other GTR2 versions.
The original track:
===================
Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit is a motor racing circuit in Norfolk, England. It is situated on the A11 road some 20 km north-east of the town of Thetford and 30 km south-west of the city of Norwich. The circuit is named after the village of Snetterton, which lies about 2 km to the north-west of the circuit, although much of the circuit is actually in the adjoining civil parish of Quidenham.[1]
In October 2005, it was announced by the owner of the circuit; Jonathan Palmer of MotorSport Vision, that the circuit would undergo extensive rebuilding work, in order to lengthen the circuit, and improve its facilities.
Snetterton originally started off life as an RAF airfield (RAF Snetterton Heath) which was then designated for use by the United States Army Air Force. The airfield was opened in May 1943 and closed down in November 1948.
The virtual track:
==================
This track was part of Toca Race Driver 3, by Codemasters.
Lasercutter did a conversion to rFactor, PKV-Fan included a GTR2 version in his UK track pack.
I got permission from both to do an update and fix errors a VERY long time ago.. but I had other projcts running.
I also added and changed many trackside objects, based on youtube moving and pictures of the track on the BTCC webside.
I removed a lot of tires and added the corn field after turn one, as well as the spooky tree at turn two.
Changed by ZWISS:
=================
- added GTR2 style LODs (thanks to TAKU)
- fixed location and orientation in GDB
- AIW corrected (fuel use, pit out board, racing line, time trial)
- fixed holes in tarmac and grass
- added multi texturing for grass
- changed many textures with photoshop
- fixed pitting of AI cars (thanks to lasercutter)
- correcting many false shadow receivers and collision targets
- Fixed starting lights and pit lights
- fixed popping up of some objects
- editing and adding track side objects
- spooky tree by lasercutter
All suggestions or contributions for improvements are welcome.
