dear Fat-Alfie. I have a question for you. how can I lay out a new ai line correctly on your track? at the turn, grande ourse is a very dangerous / risky trajectory for the ai line, and some brands of cars (bots) simply cannot pass it, some will be turned around, and some will fly off the track completely. I'm a newbie, after reading I learned that there is an AI line application and with it you can lay a new ai line. on other tracks I have no problem creating a new ai line. on your track, after creating a new ai line, the problem with turning grande ourse is solved, but the bots start to arrange blockages and accidents with each other at the start, as well as reaching the end of the circle, they slow down a lot before the finish. could you help me with advice on how to avoid these problems when creating a new ai line. I hope google translate correctly translated.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

I do actually have an experimental AI line with revised boundaries for that section, plus an ai_hints.ai file, if you would like to test them out.

I made them for another member of the forum who was suffering the same issue at the same point in the circuit. I tested the changes with Ben's Singer 4.0 and it fixed the issue for me.

"if you would like to test them out. "

yes i would love to test if possible

That is great, thank you man.

It looks especialy beautiful and is a blast to drive.

It gives me the kind of driving holiday i really love and can´t do right now because of "you know what"

And as im trying to learn Heel´n´Toe in my progressed age it will give me plenty of time ( and motivation) to practise

Thank you again
Carsten

Oh my word. What a fantastic track! I had a blast just doing a normal cruise keeping to the lane with the Ferrari 250 GTO, pushing the car to the limit while not going over the centreline. Any other cars you or anybody else could recommend for me to try out that works well with this track?

On another note, it really reminds me of some of the roads I have driven before in Tuscany; any plans to do a Tuscany countryside track, specifically the Val d'Orcia region? It would be amazing!

Also, I've found the evening golden hour to be an amazing time to drive this track, especially with the weather and lighting mods installed.

Well, i liked the Lotus 49 best.

I tried GT40 and Ford Escort RS 1600, but the 49 is my favorite car here.

BMW 1m was out after 3three corners, literally and figuratively.
It felt just to big and heavy.

MFG Carsten

 

[Tibor Solyom]

My favourites are the Singer Porsches, but liked the Alfa 33 too.

I once went for a drive here in this one, and it was a very pleasant surprise

When I was building / testing this track, I initially used the Praga R1 (as it's pretty much idiot-proof) to learn the layout, then it was mostly the Lotus 49, Porsche 908 LH, Porsche 935/78, Maserati 250F and Lola T70.

I haven't driven on this track for months, but I think that the Lotus 49 is still my favourite here.

pffft, you guys and your fancy modern automobiles..

;-)

 

[blizzreign05]

Thanks for the replies guys! I shall try out those cars that you recommended.

My favourites are the Singer Porsches, but liked the Alfa 33 too.

Are the Singer Porsches the ones by Ben O'Bro found over here? Porsche 911 Singer 1.1

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Yep

 

[JJ Lehto]

On a completely unrelated note; is there a winter skin for Fonteny?

 

[Timo One]

I really enjoyed those races. Needs to be repeated

 

[m1tchell]

Track is amazing, thanks for the work! Already drove couple thousands kilometers on Fonteny.

Is there any chance to see an autumn skin? Vegetation on this track is super cool, so it would be nice to see it in orange/yellow colors with fallen leaves on the sides of the road

 

[Fat-Alfie]

I did make a start on an Autumn skin for Fonteny, before I released it, but I wanted to get it out by Christmas and the extra work on that skin would have delayed it too much.

I agree, it would look quite cool, and there are already fallen leaves by the side of the road around areas of dense woodland.

SOL seasonal adjustment doesn't work on this track?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

I don't use Sol, so I don't know. But even things like the daffodils would need to be changed into brown foliage, the haystacks removed, a large increase in the amount of fallen leaves; I doubt these changes could be automated

 

[aphidgod]

if you ask me, SOL seasonal adjustment doesn't work on any track, but that's getting into the realm of artistic opinion.
