and the 7 differences ...

Did some cruising at sunset, was not disappointed!

Been a while since I updated my laptime chart.
Can safely say this is still my favourite track on AC!

Porsche 911R is 15:15 for me and Car-Roth runs it 15:20 if I remember right.
Power, tyres and aero are key for a good time, one of the fastest tracks speed wise.
HR tyres always feel like slicks to me in AC.

 

[Wietie]

I've never ran the 911R, so I'll have to give it a go to add it to the list.
That said, where most cars end up in the list is quite variable as only my first lap where I don't crash counts, no matter how slow or fast it is.

Another thing to take into account is that some of these laptimes are a few months old, back when I had way less experience at this track. But after 5000kms and about 50+ different cars with timed laps, I think I have it pretty much nailed by now, so laptimes should be more reliable and consistent.

Although it's been a few weeks... Work on 1.0 is still progressing roughly on target.
Guardrails, walls, barricades etc are all done... for ALL roads... as such all the extra roads are much more driver friendly. Mt Wilson is much safer to drift now!

Road signs for ALL roads are also pretty much done...
Reworked the mainloop signs, and added plenty of signs that I felt certain corners needed.

V1.0 will be incoming relatively soon

Those trees look great! Tracks like yours make me sometimes wish that I didn't make tracks myself, as I'd love to have the spare time to dedicate to driving yours rather than just spending every waking hour on my own

 

[Wietie]

Wow, that looks stunning!

Can't wait to make the hills go alive with the sound of burning petrol

I understand.
But don't lose heart. Your tracks are appreciated by thousands of people every day. And they will be enjoyed for a long, long time to come. It's important.
Thank you, @Fat-Alfie

And thank you, @Phoenix77 too. This LA Canyons is a marvel to behold/drive!

Yeah thanks mate, I know exactly what you mean, personally if I see another spline I'm going to have nightmares

The grid is in kilometres just to give an idea of my crazyness
Splines for walls, splines for chevrons, splines for roads, splines for.......
It can be fun trying to track down any small errors at this size.
If only I was sensible and did a Brands Hatch size track!

Although a few good points at going this huge are,
A) Pacific Coast is now tiny.
B) I now have a very very good idea at the resources that can be applied.

Thanks Wietie, that reminds me.... reverb nodes for all the extra roads

Can't wait for next release. I'll have to download some sol mods to try this in the night!

Also what is "The Snake"?

Any LA Canyons server configured for Sol and day-night cycle?

Yep just set the GRC server up for it. I have time at X3 and set practice to 480mins so should reset after 1 full virtual day I think? :/ It is mostly low end cars and for some reason the server is throwing an error for the 1700SS Caterham but it seems to work fine. I only just set the server up so not sure yet if it is working correctly but it looks ok Just search for "GRC"

BTW it is including a couple of mods, IIRC:
Honda S800
Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ Stradale
Caterham 7 1700SS

At the moment I assume people not running SOL and CM can still join and will have clear and 8am so LAC is the perfect playground for day-night transition. Hopefully they can make it so people without SOL/shaders patch can't join eventually so we can do proper races safe in the knowledge everyone has the same lighting.

It works!! The moon went down and it's getting lighter!

I am PMing you now @Phoenix77

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!

Big update for 1.0

A new fire board, and of course an antenna to dispatch the news better!

there's some weird "bright shadows" on the bottom right of the pic, due to the top cables maybe?
