Tracks Deep Forest Raceway Ver 1.1

Might be easier/better/more appropriate to adjust the reverse route AI lines/hints rather than alter the actual track itself.

Yeah and also adding braking markers would help for players who don't know the race track at all on the reverse layout....
I have no problems with it but I'm just giving an example of how additional braking markers would help :

Up to the OP what he prefers/what's realistic (no idea if it's even possible at this stage to smooth out the elevation changes) but I'd disagree with just editing the AI line/hints if there's a choice. Take the section at the 2nd tunnel (from the forward layout perspective) both in the forward and reverse direction, there's a severe bump/crest in the track that causes a GT3 car to go airborne. I can take that happily at maximum speed and not lose control of the car, but the AI are only navigating it at full speed successfully about 2/3 of the time from what I've seen as they're losing control upon landing. If you give them a hint to slow down, then by default I'm going to gain a huge chunk of time through that section, I would guess something like half a second based on experience, which is huge from a competitive point of view.

Yup, this is a common sight. AI likes to spin out there.

@DTM1120 I love the track, it brings back fond memories from GT1, it captures the look and feel perfectly IMO and also drives really well! Would it be possible to add a designated DRS zone on the start/finish straight if you have the time? At the momemt DRS is available everywhere on the track which makes the AI spin a lot (and me as well when I get overambitious ). That'd make the track even more perfect (at least for me^^). Thanks again for this amazing track, keep up the great work!

just a typo. a tag says "grantrismo"

 

[Mascot]

Maybe not one for Gran Turismo purists but here's a very quick hack job on Polyphony's horrible DFR track logo, the Assetto Corsa/Kunos branding in the pits, and a small update to a few of the GT logos. It'll install as a track skin and leave the originals intact.

Wow. Great Job. Would love to see Costa di Amalfi and Citta di Aria also, out of my gt4 days.
If you have a list some where, please write these down.

I'll just leave my spam here, ok?
I hope you enjoy this like I enjoy this track!

If this is what you call 'spam' then I would suggest to create and share more spam. Fun to watch and obviously high quality editing. But we could expect that .

Haha) Thank you, my friend, will do!

@DTM1120 I'm struggling to like the new road mesh that you introduced in the update along with the reverse layout. IMO the original raod feel was perfect, but in the revised version I'm getting a lot of strong FFB 'spikes' as if I keep hitting potholes. It feels quite unrealistic and is stopping me from using the track.
If the updated mesh is your preferred version, is it possible to please release alternative kn5s for forward/reverse with the original physical mesh intact? I could just revert back to the original release but that one doesn't have the reverse layout. Thanks. I know I'm not the only one who much preferred the original road feel.

Any chance of doing Special Stage Route 5 to assetto corsa? I have a 3D file from Re-Volt game. Looks pretty similar than the one created for rFactor and Automobilista. https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/mod-app-requests-thread.64157/post-3121752

It will need a fair bit of work.

Well, at least you made it work in Assetto. When I tried, I got a lot of errors.
Nice!

OBS: If you start to develop this track, please put "Saffron" as credit.

the track is not displayed correctly in the evening / night time. in the screenshot, the time is 20:20(sunset). in the daytime, everything is fine. all the other tracks that I have are displayed normally both day and night. How can I solve my problem? (sol 1.5.1 csp 0.1.52)

Any interest in this? I find the track unplayable with the current mesh. It's like hitting big potholes every twenty yards.

My Japanese is a little rusty... what does it say?

Edit:

Still none the wiser really...

Hey, that auto translate is actually not too bad, except for the poll options.

Question about Deep Forest
About the surface bump mesh that I added with the reverse layout

I would like to ask you:

1. Don't want it
2. Want it
3. Decrease/diminish/lower it a little would be okay


After seeing that fun video by RustyRussell84 seems like I need to give this a shot.

Well, if I understand correctly, it seems the poll results so far indicate that those polled are happy with the bumpy mesh.
Isn't there a smooth layout somewhere out there in the wilds?
