Released Canberra 400 v1.0

Canberra 400 v1.4

Well it's been 2 years in the making and that's only because sometimes I put it away for 6 months or more :tongue:.

Anyway, I am glad to finally release v1.0 of Canberra 400. It is a street circuit that was used for the V8's back in 2000 through to 2002 here in the Nations Capital.

Special thanks needs to go to Dosgraphics. At a time when I had some more time and in between internet companies (Sorry Dosgraphics for not keeping in touch, now with grapevine so lost your contact details). With out him and his xpack it wouldn't be what it is now.. I still have the Hyatt hotel to do so maybe Dos could look into this and the AIW is still not complete..

As some are aware, I have this AIW issue, you will see with the track that I have garages behind the pits, the cars in this version start in pit lane in their pit spots until the AIW gets Pit Extension added.

Best played with full detail and max shadows, I have tried to keep the frames down for low end users (low ends don't choose shadows in game) by not putting in as many trees so in time this will I hope become better again with more trees and more shadows.

I live in Canberra, worked at the Canberra 400 when it was here, have many photos, DVD's and videos, program guides and to the best of my knowledge this is not far from what it was in 2002. A few more textures, ripples in areas but to keep the size down I kept it simple..

Enjoy.

Damn, now I want to know what you said lol. Assuming it's about AIW.. I can't use the Editor properly so used the BTB AIW (which I prefer) so for the time being I have the cars starting from the pits until someone or BTB future versions have the Pit Extension in it.

I do it all the time for Adelaide

Absolutely excellent track. I think you'll be able to push lots more graphics into it (although it is great looking as it is), my very average syatem runs it as smooth as butter in max settings and 1080p resolution.

But wow it's a hard track, possibly the hardest street course I've ever driven. I can see why the V8s don't go there anymore - imagine wrestling one of those round there!

 

[Greg Wyatt]

Yeah it's my first ever track, started creating it back in v0.5 I think it was in BTB, learnt so much over this time and with 3dSimed, xpacks etc so yeah, I'm happy for others to do the graphics updates

As for the V8's, yeah the cars did get knocked about, after each race they were in the garage getting repaired or taped up.. Some drivers didn't mind it, others not so but the decision was from the Local Government to pull the pin..

Cheers for the comments, I think I have done a great job..

Yeah it was about the AIW.

Version 1.1 zip file to replace the AIW and SCN file.

This should also fix the AI going through walls, now has cars stored in the garages behind the Pit Lane.

Pit Extension added.

Just unzip and replace your other files.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Great stuff

Someone had reported an issue with the AI going in a loop in the garage.. This has fixed it... We hope lol

Thanks to Griff for his AIW file and replacement today after being reported

 

[Ivo Simons]

Congrats on the award. :smile:
