Tracks Donington Park 2.02

[Brun]

Btw, when exiting the pit on practice in a lazy way, by going over the other pits in a straight line the car shakes violently in a zone after the flag post to the right (tested with a low car like the DRM Capri). I think this was already present in the 1.xx. Is the cement completely uneven in there? Thanks!

The pit lane is on a slope and the garages are staggered. You can see it quite clearly in photos like this one...

I guess the yellow markings are there for a reason

Got it, thanks! It's the right wheel that stays almost level while left is almost descending stairs when going in a straight line.

It was always my intention to make it a proper download, there were just a few things I needed to take care of which took ages to get round to.

Fortunately I managed to get that stuff done over the last couple of weekends, so here's v2.02 which will be an official download unless someone finds a serious problem with it before tomorrow evening...

Donington 2018 2.02

Please, make an official content download here @ RD, otherwise many will miss your updated version. Just found it by coincident.

Brun updated Donington Park with a new update entry:

Thank you Brun, amazing effort (again)!!

Are there still 24 grid spots? Asking for a friend

One of the best and most downloaded AC mod track. Well deserved @Brun! Thanks for your hard work.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

yeah, it's such an iconic track and well made. I bet if there were more german tracks made from scratch they would have lots of downloads as well.

Download numbers are screwed up on older mods. Back then download accelerators would make the count go nuts. I watched Bridgehampton download numbers go crazy one night going up by 100s in minutes. So on RD download numbers are not a valid metric.

May be, from my memory Donington was always at the top of the most downloaded list, old or new. I usually sort by number of downloads to find the most popular, worth downloading mods as rating is not as effective esp. if it's just a few reviews.

Takes a while for a mod to make the top of the best rating list. IMO it's a better metric overall compared to DL numbers. Just because a mod say has 5 reviews at 5 stars doesn't mean it makes it to the front page. It compares number of ratings as well. Pretty much the first page sorted by rating is all the top tracks available for AC on RD. Maybe a few good ones on the 2nd page. Sorting by downloads Thomson Rd, Watkins glen, NJMP, Goodwood, LA Canyons, Bikernieki, etc are all past page 2. Poor Bikernieki is on page 5 and that is a very nice track.

Interesting, wasn't aware of that.
So how exactly the Rating sorting works as I can see 2 and 3 digits reviews tracks sharing the same page.
I know on amazon sorting by highest reviewed is worthless.

 

[Johnr777]

Pretty sure its the number of reviews + how good of a review combo

haha, actually czech tracks have it too, both Brno and Most, but in most games this is modeled incorrectly, so people don't know

 

[Thomas Sattler]

Thank you, Brun this fantastic track

 

[AlleyViper]

Forgot to report this small detail:

When quick racing with the DRM pack, some of the AI was entering the pit lane at the end of the first lap.
This was solved by copy+rename \ai\fast_lane.ai files to \data\ideal_line.ai (I remembered this tip LilSki gave on the paul_ricard support thread). You might consider this quick fix for enhanced offline racing.

The work is amazing, but causes some trouble by dropping FPS on pit straight and near old box entry even using Low Detail World setting in AC. There is so much details like people in that area that makes much complex and makes us have different reactions on some cars because of the drops, affecting consistency a lot. Another issue is the different cut criteria on the last 'S' of the full track. The car inside has much more advantage, and when we are being pushed outwards, side-by-side, we take a cut. The insider can cut, but not the outsider. Thanks.
