[WIP] Detroit - Belle Isle Park

Me too! I'm looking forward to this!

 

I think Detroit was the first track that Michelin used a Street Soft tire compound. It provided the most traction, AND lasted the entire race. (albeit a shortened ALMS 2.5hr if I recall)

 

Hi guys,

My name is Max (aka. Enders). I am a French rFactor racer and modder (e.g. rFactor Paris ePrix 2016).

Thank you jpalesi for making this amazing track for rF2.
If you guys still have rFactor 1 installed and can't wait to race at Belle Isle, I just released my 2017 Detroit Belle Isle track. I allow conversions if anyone wants to convert it to rF2. I made this Indycar track from scratch using photos and videos of the 2017 event.

Update 29/12/2017 : v1.2 released - Remove v1.0 or v1.1 before installing v1.2
- Fixed : Start/finish line not crossing the pitlane
- Fixed : Incorrect fuel consumption calculation
- Added a 44-car GT version of the track, with modified grid, pitlane and garage spots
- New track menu images

IMPORTANT ! A tip to fix flickering textures ! (works with any mod on any track)
If you have flickering textures, usually in nosecam view and cockpit view, do the following :
Open your mod's .CAM file with notepad >>> look for "ClipPlanes" in the NOSECAM or COCKPIT camera (or in any other cameras if necessary) and edit like this :
ClipPlanes=(0.100000, 500.000000)
(default is usually around 0.0225000, 500.000000)

Enjoy !

 

There is a track made by Michael who requested your permission to publish. Would you consider doing this?

 

It's a not very good conversion of a bad track, which wasn't optimized (it was my first track). If converting this track was a good idea, I'd have done that years ago.

 

Would be ok for me. Maybe sharing this WIP would help improve it faster.

 

Patience is a virtue.

 

Hi guys,
Here is a rF2 conversion of my rF1 Detroit Belle Isle 2017 track. Conversion v0.7 made by Schumi.
This is neither a professional work from me nor a professional conversion from Schumi. There are a few textures problems on this rF2 version (rumble strips reflection, grandstand's roof textures not double-sided, grandstand's crowd textures not mixed) but I hope you'll still like it !

rF2WEC made their own customized conversion (unfortunately with lots of road reflection and big screens mount issues) for their 5th round last week :

If you guys have any questions, feel free to contact me.
jpalesi could you please give us some news ? We can't wait for your track !

 

Any news about this awesome project?

 

Work on the track has been put on hold for a long time now. One day, I might have spare time to work on it. One day...

 

WOW - lookin' good!

 

So happy with this one Manfred, great job.
