    Hi all

    LRP on my system looks so much better than any other track,
    It sets a new benchmark,
    What is it about this track that makes it so much better?

    Has ISI employed some new techniques & this is the shape of things to come ?

    Also the graphical quality of the corvette & skip barber is top class

    Could these techniques be shared with the community (so modders & track builders could also achieve this standard etc )

    Looking forward to more offerings from ISI

    Yes, the Lime Rock track is the only track ISI has released recently, so it takes advantage of all the advancements during the beta period.

    The older ISI tracks will probably be re-done at some point to bring them up to the same level.

    As for third-party tracks, if you haven't already, check out the tracks from feels3 (Croft, etc.) and Tuttle's Top Gear track -- they are top-notch.

    Yes feels croft & mid Ohio are visually nice too but don't think they look as advanced as LRP

    I knw of course LRP has been released later & perhaps takes advantage of later builds etc

    There is not going to be a gold release.
    You shouldn't expect a "finished" version, instead you will have new/updated features, fixes, and new/updated content during the lifetime of rFactor 2, but don't expect any schedule for that either. :)

    Sepang @ 7.30am in an open wheeler looks good IMO. Just thought I'd throw a little love for that track. :p

    "Laser scanned" means nothing else than that that particular method has been used to take measurements. Laser scanning itself gives nothing to the visual quality... It can be an aid for track makers to get it more accurate, but it's all up to what you do with the raw data in the End. More of a marketing ploy than a guarantee for quality, but it sure sounds fancy. Lasers are cool, right?

    Lime Rock is definitely the benchmark for all tracks. I also really like Brianza, but it's a frame rate hog :)

    The other tracks here are good, but not to the level of those two.
