Assetto Corsa - Riverside International Raceway v0.7 released

[Paul Jeffrey]

RaceDepartment Premium member LilSki has released version 0.7 of his excellent Riverside International Raceway track for Assetto Corsa.

Scratch build with a meticulous attention to detail using period footage and topographical maps, version 0.7 brings a number of fixes and tweaks to this historic American racetrack. LilSki has spent many hours on what can be described as a labour of love developing this excellent historic American venue. I recently had the chance to chat with LilSki about the creation of this mod and came away very impressed with the dedication and attention to detail lavished on the track.

Although not yet at final release stage, Riverside is fast becoming one of the more detailed and polished community created tracks in Assetto Corsa. Version 0.7 offers a number of fixes and improvements to the current release and further shows this mod continues to develop very nicely indeed.

Keep an eye out for an upcoming focus piece with LilSki in the coming weeks/ We will be discussing the creation of Riverside, modding in general and sharing some useful hints and tips for those with an interest in developing your modding skills in general. Its an interesting read and will be published in the near future...

Riverside International Raceway v.0.7 Change log:

• Slight elevation changes to both turns 7 and 8
• Added normal maps along with other details to terrain textures
  
• Added RVs and cars around track
  
• Fixed flickering hills behind turn 9
• Added pit lane details. Pit box objects along with haulers are tied to grid size
• Tweaked shader settings as it was much too bright overall before.
  
• Minor tweaks to some bumps
• Lowered number of people in grandstand to try and limit flickering of people
• More TV cams...

The track is stunning, why are you reading this and not burning GT 40 rubber on this classic?

Wow. I need to get a PC.

 

[guidofoc]

Don't want to sound pedantic here, but if i don't read it wrong the nick is LilSki not LiSki. In any case he deserves the first page

 

[LilSki]

Excellent tracks. After a little time away from sims what a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, got to be one of the best tracks in AC. Cant wait to see v1.0

I guess I'm late to this party but having run several versions of Riverside in GTL and Power and Glory I'd say this is very high quality work. I've just been running the Alfa Tubolare around for many laps. BIG FUN.
