[REL] Nordschleife3 v3.00

How many pit boxes does this track mod support?

Edit: I examined the AIW file, and there are 41 unique pit spots. With a team of "2", 82 grid seems practical.

Yours pics are very nice ! excuse me for hacking the thread but could share your graphics setting . I am not able to obtain the same quality as yours .
And a big thank you to all the modders for your hard work . thanks to you our favorite simulator take another dimension.
 
Early Christmas present for you all.
An update to my Nords track with a brand new layout. Version 2.40. I have my Santa hat on.

Brand new layout:-
Bridge to Gantry
The new Bridge to Gantry layout is same as Summer Tourist layout but timer starts at bridge and ends at the Audi gantry before the long straight.
When you finish your lap and get back to the start area you can choose to go in the left lane of cones for another lap, or the right lane to get fuel and tyres or maybe a cup of Coffee and a Pancake at the Red Devil cafe :D.
Please keep to the pit speed limit.

Other updates:-
- Fixed pit sharing problem. With old version, pit sharing would start after only 15 drivers enter the server even when the pitlane has a capacity of over 30. Was problem with Pitgroups in .gdb files.
- Some graphics updated.
- Moved or resized trees in a lot of locations.
- The big screen TV's on the GP track now work again. S397 changed the way they were done.
- Changed a few advertisement billboards to match the real track.
- Plus many other stuff not worth writing about.

Please note:
The timing for the 'Bridge to Gantry' layout will not work in Race mode due to limitations of rFactor. You can do races but please beware if you do more than 1 lap the game starts counting the time from the finish gate to the start gate as well. So, if you are running a server and lap times are important, I would recommend you set the race session to a timed race and set it to 5 minutes. This way the race ends at 1 lap. If lap times are not important then just race them like any other track. Practice and Qualify sessions are not affected by this limitation. Or easier just use one of the other 2 Tourist layouts for race mode.

One last note, I have this sky cloud glitch that I reported in this thread ---> here. I have already fixed it and will be in my next version, no need to report.
If there is still interest in this track I would like to bring another layout that I have always wanted. More details in the new year.

This version by DJC et al is absolutely fantastic to race on. The feel of the road, the ambience, the trackside objects.
It may not be 100% laser scanned, vegan, free range, "mum it's the like ACTUAL track" but it's awesome. The best, most satisfying racing can be had here.
So I want to thank them for it.
I have tried the AC rip and did not like it at all. The road surface totally lacked any bumps or feel. So possibly laser perfect but totally personality free. I deleted it after one evening.
So please don't tell me that I am not passionate about the Nords, I am and hope to race there in real life before too long. Until then this track is fantastic.
So each to his own, one mans meat is another mans poison etc etc, but if you want to come in here and criticise peoples work, then maybe it's polite to show us what you have done for the community ? Or at least learn to give feedback without being insulting.

Couldn't agree more. This is high quality "counterfeit" work! Drives and looks beautiful.

Welcome..... to the Nordschleife



History
2013:
A talented person called Pleclair converted the rFactor 1 Nordschleife track by Com8 to rFactor2.
Pleclair did a huge amount of work on the track, smoothing the road meshes, adding billboard trees, real road, new textures. I think he did an outstanding job, and we all thank him for his work.
Link to Pleclair original thread-> Here
Link to Com8 rFactor1 website-> Here

2014 to 2015:
Tosch and I took over from Pleclair after he left the project.
We released many updates. Our highlights were adding the 24 hour and VLN layouts that include the GP track. Also brining a Autumn coloured graphics set too.
Thanks to Mianiak for letting us use his Newerburg F1 track as a base for our GP section. In turn, his track is a conversion of an ISI rFactor 1 track but heavily updated.

2016: Unfortunately sad news, Tosch disappeared. He was a regular poster to this forum but this suddenly stopped. Same with his Youtube channel. I do not know any more than this, but I fear the worst news. If you know he is safe let us know.

2018: Updated colour of textures to try make them compatible with Studio 397's new DX11 update plus added many other improvements.

2021: Added new layout 'Bridge to Gantry' plus made more fixes and improvements.


The track comes with 5 layouts:
  • Nurburgring 24 hour
  • VLN
  • Tourist Summer
  • Tourist Autumn.and
  • Bridge to Gantry

Things to know:-
For the 24 and VLN layouts, see pictures the route to start a timed lap without having to do a full lap of the Nords. After you have done a lap of GP track please follow route as seem in the pictures below:-.

For the Tourist layouts, if you drive through the right-hand lane before the end of the pitlane, your timer will start at the bridge. This saves doing a full warmup lap.
The Bridge to Gantry layout is same as the Tourist layout except your time with end at the gantry. When you finish your lap and get back to the start area you can choose to go in the left lane of cones for another lap, or the right lane to get fuel and tyres. Please keep to the pitlane speed limit. Please note, the timing for the Bridge to Gantry' layout will not work in Race mode due to limitations of rFactor. I've had to add Barriers at the bridge to stop you doing a lap or the game would give a lap time also driving from the Gantry to the Bridge. Please use one of the other 4 layouts for racing.

There are 4 groups of cameras to choose from, cycle through them pressing the 'Page Down' button. Big thank you to boblevieux for group 2 cams.

We hope you will all enjoy what we have done and achieved.

Did you place a driver inside the DATSUN?...

I was thinking the same thing ha ha if you have a link to the Datsun @DJCruicky that would be brilliant :)

I've reinstalled rF2 a few times since making photo, it's an old photo. Sorry, I don't seem to have it no more. Not even sure if it's one of my photos. Which reminds me I do need to update a few of the photos in 1st post.
 
I have the Datsun, but it does not have a driver (it had tinted windows to disguise this)... and used stock rF2 sounds.
 
Wouldn't it be great to BOP the Datsun with the Nissan 240Z? I just discovered it on ISR and it's fantastic as well.
