Hi. Your track is really pretty. What I noticed is that your jumbos (displays) have become too bright. You have a value of 5.0 at OUTPUT_BRIGHTNESS. If you change it to about 1.5, it looks better. Just try it.

Thanks for the track, it's really well done.
I'm seeing a lot of flickering on billboards (z-fighting, probably) and it'd also be good to have more of a 'feathered edge' transition between different materials (eg grass and rocks) so that they blend together where they meet. It's currently very straight, sharp lines.
Looking forward to the updates.

Thanks. I would love to see some refinements on the kerbs (maybe you can get some inspo from the MotoGP games). Overall nice work.

weird, when I and some testers tried the track the video screen didn't have a problem, thank you for noticing that, if I may know are you using another kind of graphic enhancer? I see the sky looks different than in standard CSP. maybe I can fix it in the next version

Thank you for your reply. You were right. I use PURE and it seems to trigger this effect. I just tested it with SOL and the displays have a more or less normal brightness. Since most people probably use SOL, it won't be necessary to fix anything in that regard. Maybe a hint for PURE users is enough.

Really awesome mod @LianoProjects , fantastic attention of detail.

I'm wondering why the track is CSP compatible only however, and how much work would it take to make it work with standard AC. I'd love for this track to be used in online races but unfortunately it is not possible due to this restriction. Maybe something to keep in mind for future projects if Mandalika won't be adapted

Really great track but could you decrypt ? I wanted to change the skin (pertamina billboards) and can`t do anything. Thanks in advance
Or please add real billboards skin

 

[macko68]

Some minors
This is before last turn

Have a flickering here

Palms near T1 have "lines" above

LianoProjects updated Mandalika with a new update entry:

FPS optimization, runoff changes, and texture glitches fix

Update 1.1:

• Widened runoff in need for 2022 FIM and FIA Homologation (note: in 9 Sep 2022 this changes still under construction IRL)
• FPS Optimization (regrouping and splitted high poly meshes to reduce polys need to render)
• Minor texture glitches fix (thanks to @macko68 for noticing some of the glitches)
• Readjustment brightness in big screen extension (thanks to @twobegreen for noticing this issue when using PURE)

Trackside adboards still flicker at distance, unfortunately. Looks like z-fighting. Can the texture be moved off the face of the boards by a few millimetres?

 

[macko68]

Thanks. But still second row of palms near T1

 

[macko68]

Many, many thanks for this outstanding track. Please consider decrypting. I understand your advertising but we would like to make real life skin

 

[Frank25]

Until there is a fix for the flickering adboards, we only can hide the meshes, that cause the flickering. Just add the following section to the ext_config.ini of the track.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;; HIDE FLICKERING ADBOARDS ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = petnas, perta, mtl, tiss, alp, liqui, michel, mgp unlimited, jahre, dhl, wonderful, argen, Lapisan Dinding Luar
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

Hey, I wanted to report an issue with the wall collisions, many times they seem to work in a very weird manner with the car bouncing off very drasticly, definitely more than normal AC does it. It seem to happen only with the tyre walls.

An example

Also would be there a chance for you to separate acobjects from the main encrypted .kn5 file and put it into an editable one? I would like to expand the grid for league races but I'm unable to do so unless I wanted to do it "dirty" way.

LianoProjects updated Mandalika with a new update entry:

Kerb changes, new runoff, texture changes

Track update accordingly to real life track changes, here's the list of changes:

Update 1.2

• New wider runoff at turn 5 - turn 7
• Added slight positive chamber in turn 6
• New asphalt runoff at turn 17
• Changes in landscape texture brightness (trees, hills, rocks) so the visual looks more natural

Abandoned?
Billboards still flicker like crazy.
Track deleted but I'l keep an eye out for updates, hopefully with a version number to make tracking changes easier.
