    I started working with Croft Circuit few months ago, it's classic old school circuit.

    Rf2 arrived so I can start to move my models and textures from 3ds max to gmotor enviroment.
    Circuit is almost finished, but everything is still in 3ds max.

    It's time to export some stuff....

    Croft v0.91 - release notes:

    - trees are temporary 2d bilboards, fully 3d trees are planned for v1.0 (performance reason)
    - HDR profile is from ISI's track, new profile is planned for v1.0
    - dirt layout is planned for v1.0
    - animations are planned for v1.0
    - temporary night lighting, upgrage is planned for v1.0
    - 1% textures are from ISI's tracks.
    - up to 40 drivers on track (24 + 16 garages / 24 pits)
    - AI is very far from perfect, upgrade is planned ASAP.
    - temporary replay cameras, upgrade is planned for 1.0
    - no trackside sounds, upgrade is planne for 1.0
    - performance, models and textures improvements are planned for 1.0

    Croft v1.0 is planned after GOLD version of rfactor 2.

    On full/max details Croft has 20-60% better performance than ISI's track (depends on hardware) but if you still have a problem, try these settings:

    shadows "low"
    track details "medium"
    enviroment reflections "OFF"
    HDR ON, AA 2x, AF 4x
    other settings: ON/HIGH

    These settings are good compromise between quality & performance.

    Package contains track and three vmods.
    Vmods need updated cars and tracks:

    Brianza
    Portugal
    Monaco
    Malaysia
    Palm Beach
    Belgium
    Mid-Ohio

    Nissans
    Clio
    1960 OW


    EDIT:

    update v1.0 - 2013.04.10


    Thanks guys!

    I feel ok today, no worries

    Ok, I will go straight to the point, not everything works as I expected, but I couldn't wait any longer.
    Read release notes, and enjoy the track.

    C&C are welcome!

    Have the templates been released or did you re-draw the loading screen?

    So you re-drew the screen to resemble the rF2 ones?

    I have some problems..

    I have exported all files (scn, gmt) and I want to run my track in dev mode but rf2 is crashing all the time.

    When I copied my Croft's files in location folder I ran dev mode and I see that JoesVille track is missing, there is only my track and rf2 crashes when I try to load it.

    Have you copied the GDB and changed the names to Croft? If they're still set to Joesville, that would explain why you can't select it anymore.
