[Virtua_LM] Official tracks' topic (last update: 06-14-2014)

Guys, it would be great to have VLM Le Mans 1977-1985 layout converted from rf1.

This would be a nice addition to GTPC mod in preparation.

Any volonteer? I'm pretty sure it's now possible to have permission...

 

I cannot give any permission for LM77-85... The best way to have it is MonSum
Making a LM83-84 from 79 one will be a great idea

 

any chance of a release of this re-worked one of mid-ohio? looks promising.

 

It has nothing to do with VirtuaLM...

 

Yea, I know. Just thought that Matt21 maybe knows anything about it.

 

That one looks like the rip from SimRaceWay
Senormem was working on it, not sure if he released for public

 

Just saw many links of this old tracks don't work

Thank you.

But this is not Fuji I remember from rF1/GTR2 days. That was different Fuji.
It was some mid 80s version

 

about Mid Ohio track
with the new rF2's cut-track rules the track have problems with warnings and black flags

for online leagues it could be a problem and a sr4l friend fixed it

i) Turn 1 - apexing anywhere near the kerb separating the pit exit from the track resulted in a cut-track. Now fixed.
ii) Pit exit - joining the track before the proper blend line will now result in a cut-track. Do not be tempted to cut across early!

i think fixed version could be very useful for online and offline use too.

the question is:
can we have Virtua_LM permission for a public release of the Mid Ohio fixed version?
@MonSum @ethone @Nugit [Virtua_LM]
Nugit
where are you?


p.s. and if you (VLM) want to update yourself the track, we could send you the fixed version

 

And an authorisation to at least upscale textures and rebalance them, as S397 did with Toban and Mills Metro (the .json file with the materials' overriding parameters probably could be used as a reference to speed up the process)? Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

 

On Apex Modding Team’s discord channel Gwee says me:

The full track with the fix and other improvements can be released, just provide credit to VLM
They (Virtua_LM) disappeared but this was shared by them In dev forum

Monsum was the last guy to be around, he left the scene about 9.5 years ago, and it's why they took that stance. They were done with modding and supporting rFactor.

 

Thanks @Mauro - we (SR4L) created an AIW fixed version a while back - I’ll try to get this published with relevant attributions shortly.

 

Hello guys, these days I have been working on a new mesh for the track. I will soon apply the new shaders to test.

 

Cool - I can send you a link to our cut-track fixed version if it makes sense to roll it all together?

 

Of course, I will create a private conversation to share progress. If someone wants to collaborate, it will be welcome

 

Mid-Ohio has just received new tarmac, so it might make sense to make this an historical(ish) track and keep it rugged as it has been until now.

Le Mans 77-85 would be a hit, considering so many historical mods.

 

i think this 1986 version is very similar: https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/le-mans-without-chicanes-vlm.68502/#post-1054292

 

Thank you!!
