    This is awesome work so far, had a lot of fun driving this last night and the rFactor 2 lighting made me very happy. The Ring has shadows! (the Simbin versions never did)

    Thanks for your efforts, seeing your results might even get a non modder like me to have a go :)

    +1 I remember during my first lap at the real Nordschleife in a rental car, all the experience I had from simming came from GPL. When we approached ex-Mühle I actually went "Woooow" as this thing is just a wall of tarmac right in front of you, an impression that's really hard to model in a sim without... er well, creating a wall of tarmac.

    Cheers, Uwe

    Hey guys!

    Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday. I was really bummed out by Mario's answer, and decided to continue nevertheless.

    I've successfully swapped most (if not all, I still have to double check, maybe some tree objects don't contain tree in it...) trees for billboard versions!

    And I must admit, the game looks better that way!

    Here are two screenshots showing what it looks now:

    View attachment 9196

    View attachment 9197

    I also started to work on reflections on the car as well as you can notice on the screens. ;)

    There is also no more clipping, thanks to clip planes set to 6000

    If all goes well, there might be an update coming your way this weekend, or early next week!

    I'll read and reply to your post a little later, in worst case when I sub the update. I'm a little short on time right now.

    Just wanted to let you know that there is big progress going on!

    EDIT: Shots taken at 7am.

    Looking very nice, and the community really appreciates your effort. :)

    It doesnt have to be perfect, just make sure you're having fun doing it ;)

    Is my first post here.
    I honestly do not understand why? Let's do a look back.

    You ask help about Billboard trees.
    I help.

    After do some help and saw that you were engaged in conversion. I made the offer to import the entire circuit to the max.
    you answer
    never received the link.

    I try again..
    After i have seen the mesh of your road.
    I wrote


    Did you get upset because I help you? or because I give my opinion based on my experience?

    Trees look awesome,, have driven this track hundreds of times in rfactor and gtr2,,, it has never been as much fun to drive as it is now,, add the btcc car, when it comes, and you will have the perfect combination,, by the way, my quickest time so far is 8mins 50sec in the megane,,, keep up the good work;)

    This is a really nice track considering its at a fairly early stage,
    I couldn't drive it but watch the AI zooming round

    Just trying to offer constructive feedback for consideration if possible (-;

    The trees look good already

    I'm still not sure if the track surface is going to be reworked by anyone prepared to help ?

    Is it possible to put a few cracks or resurface squares in the track surface (if any on real world ) ?

    Might be just me but the curbs & some of the side barriers would look great with a few scuffs (&bits of dirt) on (random places )
    (especially the red/white curbs so they don't look so bran shiney new )


    Over all though thanks for your efforts pleclair ! Your doing a grand job & in such a small space of time too !

    Really looking forward to updates

    Thanks again

    Really nice idea about some used barriers and curbing, that would look great
