I'm away for the weekend so this is quite a rushjob to get this alpha online today as promised. It's definitely very rough around the edges and please, don't mind the visuals. This is the first singleplayer version so now everyone who wants to can have a go at it and feel how it drives. I made the road textures a bit smaller in size (they were 4k) to keep the filesize down. The next one won't be as rough as this one though For the news posters, please add the known issues list to your post so people know what they are in for when downloading this track and hopefully won't be disappointed going in with the wrong expectations. Zolder V0.1 Alpha -- Known Issues -- - Don't mind the visuals! - Main Pitbuilding will be re-textured - Performance, nothing has been done to optimize the track yet - No proper HDR profile, no priority - Saturation/color balance between textures, very low priority - AIW Paths not final - Startlight broken - Ugly temporary buildings for reference - Messy white line turn 2 (outside will fix for next version) -- Changelog -- V0.1 Alpha - realroad finally working on all tracksurfaces - basic aiw added (4 garages and 2 pits, early paths) - too obvious tiling road fixed - track collision added - Turtles added in 2nd chicane - Pitlane lines added - Full grid support (44 positions) - Pitlane widened - Pacecar positions added - S/F and Grid position decals added
Thank you very much! I have been following this development for a bit and the screenshots look phenomenal. I am off to try out the alpha now. Cheers.
Thanks guys, make sure to leave feedback here, I already spotted some small holes in the grass next to kerbs for example. I also have my doubts about the elevation of the pit entry so I'd like some opinions on that as well I forgot to mention, I didn't test the track online, so I don't know if it will work. Your best bet is to do singleplayer with 3 AI cars maximum and it should work good enough to get an idea of how it drives.
Installed no problem, when selecting track no loading screen whatsoever, just the loading bar across the bottom, overlaid on the normal selection tiles. Enter track timings/garage and all ai and my own car turn blue in the list and the video screen ( small one top right ) is black, cannot select other ai drivers to watch, hit race to go on track and I get the rF2 has encountered a problem and needs to close error , So it didn't work I have deleted this one and I shall try a fresh download. Keep up the great work, just screenshots keep me very interested in your work. EDIT: A fresh download has it working The curbs feel fantastic and the road surface is very nice, I would like a few more bumps though, FPS and performance is no higher or lower than most other tracks. I will do some more testing
Thanks guys PRC Steve, fair feedback. When all texture work on the actual roadsurface/edges is how I want it to be, I'll find out where bumps should be. All of those will be educated guesses as to where and how, this sort of stuff translates badly to a video. Work in the coming weeks/months will primairily involve fixing up the loose ends, walls, guardrails, grass and graveltraps. Hopefully some basic terrain outside of the guardrails as well.
Cheers, can you give an example of what you mean? Im not working on the track for a bit now though, working on my custom wheel, which is giving me quite some headaches... Work will resume next week or so.
Ahh that`s quite good for me wgeuze as I`ve not managed to do any testing here yet... I`ll get some done and report asap.
Unfortunately, the game freezes at the end of loading process. I can see something in the small window during a very short time then it gets black and freezes. I have to ctrl alt del to quit the game. Sorry for this feedback
Same problem as you Mydriaz The screen of the lobby once load becomes blue in the text and nothing more.
Yes, I've downloaded the file 2 or 3 times. This is very strange, moreover I had to reinstall the game and restart my computer (don't know which of these 2 actions solved the issue...) because no more track could be loaded due to multiple file missing errors...
How many cars in the session? I think the track atm supports only 4 cars and if you tried with more cars the game may CTD or freeze ... so happened to me.
Tried it and it works good without problems. I really like how you are progressing. Good work "wgeuze" and keep it up!
