The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

HAHA they misspelled "ITALIA" on the radiator
(I'll show myself out )

Lovely model, can't wait to drive that around Abluzz's Targa Florio

So, while I work on other mods like the spec racer who is getting polished physics by ARCH, me and aome friends are working on a totally different thing.. it is kind of an "imaginary" car, actually old southamerican cars that are tunned for racing. Physics will be somehow placeholder, and am planning making it a cooperative mod for the people, specially southamerica were we know this old guys and got tunned for racing. We conceive it as a imaginary southamerica category called GTS (Gran Turismo Sudamericano) but dont worry... Ill be back at real existing cars in a couple weeks

pd: I know for some of you, they may look weird, but it is commong in some countries here to seee things like that XD still, this is not a particular category, is like a mix of different categories and some fast and furious wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff

Once again I'm just following how the actual car is, I probably wouldn't choose a 4 spoke wheel like that myself just for practical reasons (you can't see the rpm gauge near 3000-5000)

would you also not choose the caterham indicators on both sides ?

what are they for ?

red comes on when the generator's not working, orange when oil pressure's low (so it's just the normal voltage/oil idiot lights every aircooled vw has, but huge)

Just some WIP Ferrari 158 in modern livery

 

[PF126p]

Nearly finished

But i don't know gow to fix rims. When i drive the ferrari their color turns to blue

Look out for an texture for the blurred rims.

1907 Itala 36/45 is now also nearing completion:

 

[The-IC]

That would be awesome.

The following are two my personal favorites from the 1930s that are of a more reasonable length. These could be good projects:

1. ROOSEVELT RACEWAY - New York (USA) (the 1937 layout has been made for GPL, but I believe the 1936 layout [6.39km] has never been created for any sim).

Roosevelt looks interesting...looks like it could also be modernized as a "what if" layout without too much trouble too...

When you mentionned it was more of a test ground, i didn't imagine that at all. We have different definition of testing ground

Thanks for the feedback, although Nighteye will have to tell me how to fix the bridge structurally ...It's a testing ground in the sense that if it turned out bad, I didn't really care that much, (but it turned out quite well, so thats a bonus lol), plus its fictional so its flexible...instead of doing something on a particular project that makes me need to redo it when it's not achieving the result I was after, especially after getting quite a way into it

Is it close enough to warrant modelling it like that? Something I also wonder on certain buildings and details, but just doing it as textures seems better/easier most of the time...usually need to remind myself of that when I start getting carried away on the paddock side of a pit building...

Just a quick update on my Bremgarten circuit. It's set in the mid-1950s but I couldn't resist taking Gary's amazing Auto Union round there for the outboard footage.

Here's some onboard VR footage too, from yesterday, before I added a whole load of TSO.

that's 0.0.9? are you sure there's not too many zeros?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Yeah, almost certainly, but I ran out of version numbers when I was making Feldbergring, so I have always erred on the side of caution since then.

I only really have vegetation to add, as well as final optimisation, so it's probably closer to v0.9 in those videos.

 

[Ryno917]

Really looking forward to this one, mate!

Every single time you outdo yourself. Really looking forward to this one.

It's not uncommon to go further with 0.10, 0.11, etc
Looking good. Those trees man, they really uhm.. not sure how to say it xD love 'em!

I don't know yet, mostly just had fun modelling it. I recon, as that structure is visible from quite a distance from multiple parts of the tracks, the structure with its holes all over will work better visually as a full model than something simpler with an alpha_test texture. I may make a simple LOD for farther out.

Anyone know what to do about this weird wobbling when making really long tracks (around 40km this one) - some cars seem to be affected more than others?
I remember this happening before and I just abandoned a project altogether. But there must be a way around it if things like SRP are possible
Maybe splitting the track into smaller kn5 solves it?? or I could add a fictional hairpin and come back on myself using the mountains to create the illusion that it's still going in a straight line
vid of what i mean:
