Just found this video on YouTube: The track is looking good already! Where/how to get this good looking modern Spa?
Such a shame because its a pretty good looking track & 1 of my favourites but can only be played offline, what a kick in the nuts
Yes, it's from rf1. rf1 version was also converted from other sim. It's probably 3rd or 4th incarnation of this track. This track is immortal... I'm sure rf3 will get this track too...
Yes, the track is good. I know there is a 3D mesh capture software that is able to capture almost any mesh of any Direct3D games. And the best thing is, this software is free. Can't remember the name though. I'm sure uncle Google will give you the answer. So, I am under impression that this track is a direct capture and conversion from Codies' F1 series. And thanks for all the PMs guys, really appreciate it!
There are some scratch made tracks that are illegal as well. This is just something that has been done without permission. Who cares? The community cries about top notch graphics but they all gobble up these quickly made conversions. This track is again more proof of that.
The software is 3D Ripper DX. But I wouldn't use it to convert a track, because it will capture only a part of the track. If you're lucky enough that the captures aren't distorted, you'll still have a lot of work to get the track together. Although it's great to get some objects and textures, it won't work with DX11 games, so you can forget recent games. Tracks are usually converted with 3D SimEd (and it's not free).
There's a Spanish site that has converted a F1 season (it's modern, can't remember what year) with the cars and tracks to rF2 and is running a full season. They have not released the mod or tracks. It's looking like they never will either. I registered at the site, but since I don't speak Spanish and they race on a night I can't make it would not have worked. It's a damn shame they won't share.
Yeah, I noticed that. I came across a few Spanish/German/French Leagues which are quite interesting but everything would be in their language and kinda closed to their members. One can use the translation tools but I think the message they send is that they don't want you unless you are one of their breed and I would feel unwelcome and won't be able to following everything what's going on. Amazing that in the year 2013 we still find such barriers. Having said that, there are many international friendly people, sites and Leagues!!!
I think it is not because english people are unwelcome. Most of no native english people doesn't manage the language on a fluency way, and they are preferring talk native language since they are need concentration to drive, not to speak language barriers, but all of us are sharing the love for simracing and I think all people is welcome to race...
Yes, very true points as well and I agree. Maybe they should then have at least one of their English speaking members translate the important parts, like leagues.
Yeah, I think if I spoke Spanish I'd be welcome. But I don't so that impediment is a barrier I put up due to my ignorance. http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/9996-rFF1-Formula-Master This thread has a link to some new tracks- including modern Spa
I have those tracks and the site has been closed because some people broke the rule of "Non pubic link sharing to unauthorized conversions". So probably it will not take long until those are available. However it will not be me who shares it. Sorry
