    Pikes Peak V 0.98 for rFactor 2

    Thanks to cafeaulait for permission to convert this awesome course, Spaskis for the step-by-step 3DSimEd instruction video, and freew67 for jumping in and teaching me point-to-point timing!

    Timing for the course now works in practice session
    To set times in a Race session, set finish criteria to TIME, and set time to 7 minutes or so.

    Changelog for Version 0.95a Aug 15
    Updated the graphics. Finally ;)

    Changelog for Version 0.95a
    Aug 15
    Ummmmm. A LOT of textures have been updated.
    No more mountains popping in and out.
    Moved the brake check station out of the middle of the road at Glen Cove.

    HAPPY DRIVING! ;)

    Version 0.85 is the "final" version for a while. There are a few things that still need to be worked on, like RealRoad and the road surface itself, but I need to learn a few things before that happens :)


    Changelog for version 0.85 June 14
    Fixed shadows (again!)
    Spread out sector gates
    Fixed a number of objects to be collidable
    AIW is set up to run with up to 8 people online. Not set up to run AI.
    Fuel usage adjusted
    LOD adjusted to stop that annoying pop up. It still happens in one little spot, but it's not alarming like it used to be.


    Changes to version 0.79 June 8
    Practice timing!!! everyone thank freew67 :)
    Object shadows updated/added
    New garage and grid spots to allow 6 (?) or so drivers on the course
    Road/grass materials assigned. No more cutting through the grass ;)

    Still to do:
    RealRoad

    Enjoy!

    Update...

    v0.6 has a better road feel, the grass WILL throw you for a loop if you get caught up in it. One can now tell the difference between driving on the pavement and driving on the grass. Amazing.

    Baby steps.

    Once point to point timing is figured out, an update will be released as v 0.7.

    THEN real road will be implemented, come hell or high water.

    Sorry for being confusing. 0.6 won't be around long enough to warrant uploading. 0.7 SHOULD be available tonight.

    edit: Should be available THIS WEEKEND ;)

    Looks good, that one would go well with the Route 666

    Now I just want a decent rally or road car to go with it.

    Oh jeez, I hate to be the kind of person that post a new update every day or two, but this second update today is pretty necessary.

    After much trial and error, I've finally resolved the broken point to point timing issue. No more danger of setting 4 second laps :)

    New link is in the OP.

    Sorry about that, guys

    no worries, it's not possible to test everything, specially then it's this kind of weird bug

    thanks for the quick update :)

    Frank#55's Start/Finish gates were added to v0.79, btw.

    Just a little tribute :)

    Thanks for the update!

    It's great to have an all-paved PP. Does the real-world road have such a high and consistent crown? And in terms of the sim, is the draw distance maxed out? There are a few areas where you can see the scenery "edge" being drawn in.

    Overall, a great addition to our collection of available tracks.
