    Carolina MotorSports Park - v.8

    This is not my track. This is LCR's great track, but he lost his hard drive. I've made some updates with full permission from LcR

    I've done the following:
    AIW, pit paths, left path and right path
    RealRoad texture fixes/wet fixes
    Reflections
    Animated corner/starter workers
    Added few spectators
    UI graphics
    I optimized most of the buildings - eliminating extra polys
    I replaced the close up high-poly trees with billboard, low-poly trees (like Lime Rock)
    I set shadows sparingly to help FPS

    It still needs at least the following:
    shadow group optimizations
    nightlighting
    AIW fast path and corridor tuning

    I will work on this track as time permits, but don't expect regular updates.

    Thank you very much. I have some graphic issue with the 2d tree line. I tried setting Transparency AA to off to see if it will correct itself however no luck.

    Yep, I didn't update the 2D tree line.

    I just try it (with an awesome car : the Ferrari-challenge 2011) and it's a great track imo...many thanks for that.

    Nice layout, thanks :)

    I also have the tree problem (not all the trees) and I guess you know that some parts of sand brings you to full stop.

    Are you planning too? With this change and some upgraded textures this could easily become a A grade track.

    If anyone with the commensurate talent wants to volunteer to complete some of the remaining upgrades (like completely new trees), PM me. Plick is too busy and needs to keep his attention on his many other interesting projects (tracks and his new Miata!). I asked him to help with this and he did a fantastic job getting it to the level it is now. It was unusable for offline in the prior version.

    Thanks Plick, I could never get this track to load until now. Your update fixed that. Cheers.

    This is actually where part of my name comes from. My wife says I behave very much like a badger and a good friend of mine I play chess with would call me a plick every time I whooped him, because he didn't want to cuss in front of his young son. Hence PlickBadger :)

    Does this version include the kart track too? I might be willing to help out on this, what's left to be done to make the track better?
