Tracks Watkins Glen International

[LilSki]

Yeah I saw some of the results and looked into the process and it is very simple to implement. I still don't want to add anything to the Glen in particular that couldn't potentially be there in real life which is why the temporary lights is a viable option. I think I might examine a venue like Road Atlanta at night to see if they use temporary lights for the Petite Le Mans. I also found some drone footage of the Glen at dusk with all its lights on which also helps.

I'll admit I was harsh at first about lights but I was also trying to get a lot done with this track at that time. Now I only have small things to finish up before 1.0 so I'm more inclined to experiment at this stage.

now that's a good idea heard that somewhere before don't know anymore who it and who said naahhhh you are a bit crazy to ask for this the glen has no lights lollol ah it was mee

He said he was entertaining the idea...

Whatever happened to just being happy with a quality mod.

I think his comment was meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek. Hence the 'lol'

I've seen the temporary lights (affixed to road construction generators) at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca back in the ALMS days.

Like these?

Like these?

Yup! Except the ones I recall were "construction orange/yellow" instead of green. Mast height varies according to location & equipment used, usually placed so the light is shining on the driver's back at corner exits.

Quick preview of it in motion. The portable lights were borrowed straight from the rf2 conversion. Also not sure what is going on with the curbs in the headlights.

 

[LilSki]

Yeah this is fun messing with light settings. Can't wait to do the other tracks...

Love your work mate. Adds a whole another dimension to your tracks.

I hate being that kiddo who makes silly questions, but there are still plans to make a classic version of this track? That would be great.

There is yes. But this one isn't done yet. Once this is completed I will go over my list and decide which project to pursue next.

Rough video but shows I'm experimenting with some heli cams..

Looks fantastic. Really lets you appreciate the density of the trackside detail.

 

[Ben Lee]

Hi LilSki, where did you get your tree textures from? They look really good.

Nice, should be standard cam option on all tracks.

Cheers!

Wow, the helicam really shows the detail put into this track model. Good stuff.

I was re-watching the 2018 Nascar race looking for some signs and damnit I discovered they built a new structure in turn 10 called the Turn 10 Terrace. I felt it was a big enough structure to warrant including.

I have just a few things to sort out for the AC 1.0 release. I have sent all the updates to the rf2 guys so it will pretty much be 1:1 between the two versions.

Hi @LilSki !
I must say that since I downloaded your track, it's only one of the few where to beat the AI at 100% is challenging ! And it's a very important thing for me.
Well graphically it's a masterpiece but I guess you know it already
Can't wait to get the final version to enjoy it even more.
Btw do you have any plans or ideas with the shader patch mod ? track config and or vao patch ?
maybe a night version ?

Anyway thanks a lot, I really appreciate what you've done ! 10/5 stars
