==================================================
=====What is in this first version for rFactor2?=====
all the basics
- realroad with ~1.5m-square road sections (build 240 realroad shader)
- realroad profiles
- wet weather road reflections
- animated marshals (some have been customised)
- hdr profiles

This v0.9 is meant to be a fairly minimal migration of the circuit from rF1 to rF2.
There hasn't been much "update" work carried out so far.
Some textures have been adjusted to work a bit better with the daylight and HDR systems.

=================================================
=====Known Issues & Non-Implemented Features=====

===The AI
- Sometimes they'll hop onto the dirt banks on the inside of a few corners.
- They'll rarely form up correctly after the warmup lap, primarily due to the 3-2-3-2... grid layout (skipping the warmup lap is a fine solution).
- Some cars may collide/crash in the first corner of a race (more likely in rainy conditions), in the Viaduct section, along King's Bridge, and on approach to Tannery Corner.
- F1 and some other cars may collide with tyre markers.

===Animations
- The flags and bunting are still 2D texture animations, rather than bone-based animations.
- Some of the animations have small glitches and sometimes the marshal's headphone's are floating.

===Wet Road Reflections
- Fences and terrain are not currently reflected due to the nature of the reflection system.

===Water/River
- Have not yet added newer style of water animation/reflection.

===General Efficiency / Optimisation
- Due to starting this project as a beginner, and also using a few GPL-era models, there are more draw-calls going on than there needs to be. The newer models I've made are generally assigned only a single material and make less cpu load despite higher polycounts, and they look better. It is planned that the older models will be updated or replaced.

===Continued Development
- The main target of development will be updates/remakes of a number of buildings/structures.
- 3D trees for track-side trees are planned.

Thanks woochoo! I've been looking forward to this track :)
Unfortunately there's something wrong with the download links. Link in your first post: "page not found". And link on this page: "403 - forbidden" when I click download.

Maybe it's just gamefront..
 
We doing one more race at Monza then F3 Longford.

Thank you berry much
No worries, thanks for waiting up, and thanks for hosting :) I think I'll pop in and cruise around for a little bit :D (edit: aww, server disappeared from the list)

Found the server and had some good fun :) Thanks to those guys who put in a few laps, and thanks Durge.
Then my internet dropped out, and now the server says I'm missing Longford component. Confusion :confused:
But thanks for the compliments, and sorry to those who are getting 403s. Hopefully there will be a mirror soon.
 
Thanks woochoo !

As I mentioned some time ago, some textures could be in better resolution, but apart from that, track looks really good.

You created really unique atmosphere here and I must say you have good eye to colors.
