    Just a progress update.

    1 down, 4 to go. I'm rebuilding the 5 key buildings on the track. This is race control, I have garages, grandstand, Audi building and the other building next to the garages (I don't know what it's called, it might be administration or something).

    I have been advised that between 3k and 4k tri's is acceptable for key buildings, this model came in at 3220 tri's and needs just a little bit more work.

    Ahh thanks, its these 2 buildings in this pic http://g.co/maps/vw3eq the one on the right is this one I just made, and there is the one on the left, in between the grandstand and the garages. I don't know what they are called.

    btw, since I have your attention, the checkerd pattern on the podium area, is that angled like it is in this image? or is it just this sat image that makes it look like that?

    Like Toonce said, could have slightly more bumps and whatnots, though I really can't say because I've never driven there and I really don't know the track from elsewhere that well.

    Anyways, a really nice track IMO the best release for rf2 so far. I get around 130-160 fps too, yay (no hdr).

    Just installed and ran this track (just outlap to make sure it was working).

    Track works fine offline. I have my shadows on, but they came and went as the car made it's way around the track (viewing replay). First impression is that this is a great layout, with a lot of good work done to recreate it for the sim. I'll give it a good go later against a bunch of AI and will test it on the ORA server after our RF2 fun night next week, but can foresee some pretty enjoyable sprint races here, especially in a field of 12+ cars....thumbs up so far, thanks.

    Tested on my side, and it's a good interesting track, keep the great work to update and finalize this good attempt.

    Fantastic track mianiak. Very accurate build and the best so far by a mile for rf2. Love racing this circuit, so far this also gives me the best force feedback. Not sure if this is something you've done but for the first time I felt 'understeer' through my wheel when the track dropped off on the right at the high point of the track. I was like 'woah!' this is really good. Can't wait for you to upgrade the buildings etc and fine tune it.

    Update 1.4 will have the Flag Marshalls, I only have the weekends to work on this track now, so its going to slow down a bit.

    --------

    Just a general note to everyone,
    Remember this whole process is merely just an experiment to test the packaging and updating system. It's not about the track, it just so happens that this track was my test subject from the beginning, which is why it's all part of this.
    If the track works, then its just a bonus for everyone, but as far as anything to do with the track, it's not my priority at this point in time to complete this project :)

    In a race in cockpit view the blue flags and full course yellow works.
    Just we don't see any marshall.
