Tracks Autódromo do Estoril

[Mitja Bonca]

Bug: The Track is defined in the ui_track.json to have 30 pitslots, but in reality only has 24 start and pit objects defined.

It actually now has 44 slots, will be in next build.

We are taking a look at it! Thank you for your concern

i copied the 30 pit/start objects from the version iv'e got to this latest version and it works 100%

 

[Mascot]

Yes, in the future, but for now, we want you guys to drive Mitja's v0.6 and give us feedback (since its the latest version) so you guys help us improve the track while we work on other adjustments!

I'm a little confused - is this release just the same as the one that's been around for ages (years?) and is being reuploaded so that people can identify where improvements are needed? Or is this an actual updated version?
If so, is there a changelog? I'm struggling to spot any differences between this one and my existing.
It's listed as 1.0 but you say it's 0.6?
Halp!
Thanks.

 

[RowanZa]

check the surfaces.ini, sand traps have no damping?

 

[Mascot]

Can't wait to get home to try this!

I'll just leave a possible suggestion here, if I may: I've been to Estoril quite a few times lately (work-related) and noticed it was re-paved with a nice, clean, dark tarmac sheet. What If we had that new tarmac in this mod, instead of the old, overused tarmac? I'll leave a pic I took, sry for bad quality.

Once again, just a suggestion. I love this track as well, and it would better match the reality of today

Cheers guys, great work!

It'd be nice as an alternative selectable track skin rather than a replacement. Choice is good!

Incredible track. Very high quality and beautiful. But i have a bug. No ambient shadow under cars most of the track. The wheels of the cars are as if sunk into the surface more than usual. If you will fix it track will be absolutely amazing.

 

[Mascot]

I think I made some extra cameras for both layouts, I'll check when I get home and PM you

I've got a couple of balloons for it too if you want them.

Incredible track. Very high quality and beautiful.

That's probably because, as far as I can tell, it's been borrowed from rF2 and enhanced.

 

[Mitja Bonca]

There's also a small issue with static skidmarks not receiving car shadows (properly), irrc you've solved it on okayama after some kn5 separation and shader adjustments:

How not? I see them just fine. But thats maybe some tweaks in kseditor, nothing more.

Maybe i was not clear... this project was removed from Racedepartment and since this was a really good project i contacted the original author to give us the latest files and continue the project for him, and with this, the community can download again the 0.6v from racedepartment while we improve to the 2.0v.

 

[SilvAfonso]

And so we can continue improving the track to all you guys

This has been a favourite track for a long time.
Thank you for bringing it to us

There's a problem though:

It's one I'm getting with this Estoril (and its older version which I have had for a while) which I get with a few other mod tracks: the painted white lines (not the kerbs) that run along the edges of the track can't have shadows cast on them. I think it's cos they're actually above the imprint of the shadow. It's noticeable when a car in front go over one of these white lines.

The recent, and excellent, Kyalami 2016 had this problem too (for me, at least) which Prototype managed to fix.

I mentioned it here in that thread.

I hope you can have a look at fixing it.

EDIT: I just checked Okayama: I'm getting the same problem there.

ANOTHER EDIT: Just checked Chang. I'm getting the same problem there (that's one of the very best tracks there is)

Hi.
Great track. Any chance of a set of close up track replay cams for VR.
That would be awsome.

 

[AlleyViper]

How not? I see them just fine. But thats maybe some tweaks in kseditor, nothing more.

See my attached screenshot (link), the skidmark that goes under the right side of the diffusor remains much brighter than the tarmac zone under shadow.

It's the same small issue you've had in okayama, before skidmarks and groove were on separate kn5s: link
It was then successfully fixed:


Hope this explains, thanks!

Naming conflict with older release of this track: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/autódromo-do-estoril.4681/

Please modders, add your tag to the name of your mods, there are many mods of the same thing and when tag is not used endless conflicts arise. Kunos started using a tag with DLCs too.

Such as: mb_estoril

 

[Bruno32600]

the estoril mod is conflicting with Estoril track from Tiago Lima

 

[SilvAfonso]

Implementing a tag in the next patch!

@SilvAfonso
Any chance you could look at the problem with no shadows on white lines mentioned here above?
