[WIP] CART Factor

[sg333]

I loved the Houston '98 track in rF1. Such a simple layout but so challenging. Is that one in the works?

houston and brazil are the only tracks i dont have a copy of. Maybe last as i have yet to do a conversion and material/mapping can be laborious

I uploaded the .rar of the rF1 version here https://www.mediafire.com/file/jlapt3oyxu24qox/Houston1998_0.99.rar/file

Corti, I believe for CART he was referring to the Jacarepagua (sorry for spelling) oval that was used in the late 90s?

Thanks for the link Corti. Now I have Houston and Rio Fittipaldi

OMG I wonder how much mapping is involved in a conversion?..... I absolutely hate mapping textures.
I remember when just learning....
Having to map ads on both sides all the way down that front straight of long beach making rookie mistakes the whole way LOL

The Rio roval is in Automobilista 1 and was created by Reiza Studios. Would that be an easier track to work with?

 

[PatientRF2fan]

i know automiblista1 is supposed to be the rf1 engine. I have never done a conversion but it is probably possible.

I have base products to work with now. Geez 19 tracks

DiggerHawk has 3 Swifts and ....... 22 reynard skins to do still. This may be a while.

Homestead may be problematic, I believe they changed the angle of the banking to better suit Nascar. In 2003 the track's banking was raised from 6° to a progressive 20°. So finding a PRE-2003 source of the track might be difficult.

6 degree all round. I tested some loft and it worked. I can loft some hair over to cover a bald spot too LOL

You can find it on NR2003

(Both 1995-1997 Indy-style oval and 1998-2003 layout are shown on this video)

Fin fact, that converted version was actually too long. There was another version for rF1 that looked worse, but was the accurate length.

Oh man, that is not a fun fact for me. it is a KM too long 3.8km instead of 2.8km.
ok, at least i haven't mapped everything, i can fix that.

There is a 2000 google map. slightly different layout but will give me the proper distance.

 

[PatientRF2fan]

UM... yeh, wow! I got work to do. Only a KM off
Thanks djvicious all i have done was lofted the track so your info was well timed!
That's why my gearing was so off lol
Funny, I was measuring Toronto the other day and its good thankfully as i had some serious seat time there and took a break for an easy loft at Vancouver.
Alright move as much as i can with simed, create the track and walls then model my first public transit bridges YIPEE!

The Google Earth 8/2003 imagery you can see cars actually driving on the Vancouver track, which is some amazing timing.

I've seen this with several other track images, I suspect they plan for events to get those 'well timed' images.
