    Thank you SO much and especially to Preclair! This track is simply sex driving the Sim Dream R34.

    Thanks alot guys, wow! This is so awesome, you did an amazing job. This is by far the best version of the Ring yet! It is such a big difference, great work.

    Is there any chance that you guys might get in touch with Miniak and put together a full VLN / 24 Hour Layout? :) Already loving the tourist version alot, wish we had a Layout with the GP Circuit so that finally, some proper multi class endurance racing can take off :D

    I don't know if its even possible to merge two circuits, i guess if it is, its most likely alot of work. Still hoping for a full raceable circuit version :)

    Thanks again for your work!

    Oh yeah, it'll be so good having some moving cameras around the track.

    Have you checked the mesh that generates the game in viewer as Mario showed in this thread? Maybe it could help you trying to find the reason for the bumpy behaviour.

    Thanks Boblevieux
    I would like to use it :). What I can do is have your cams as Group 2. To view them people just need to cycle through the Groups with the PageDown button. All good :).
    But first, before I can use, I give you the opportunity to fix the cams behind trees.

    Thanks again.

    @SPASKIS, yes I thought of that too. TOSCH is already on the case, he tells me he has made some improvements already.
    @Thiebault Debatty, you don't you leave that to us.

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    Let me start by saying Mr A.I. is a great driver, very confident. :p

    The cameras you have created are excellent, I will definitely use them. Thank you!.

    Just would like to add that I've tested different HDR files and it's the first time I can see such a great clear lighting with 3D Vision.
    Usually, tracks look too dark IMHO.

    Not sure, but I believe that the track has to be repacked with the new cam file.
    DJC said that he would use the file with the track after the cams that got stuck behind new tress were placed in new positions. So apparently there will be at least one more update by our new modding crew.

    Thanks boblevieux. I've just made a huge improvement with the track cams because of you. :D

    The LOD flickering on the cars is gone. I've included your cams and saw this horrible flickering with the cameras close to the ground. I had this with the original cams too. Looks like pleclair tried to fix this by using a very high LOD multiplier for each cam but all it does is to reduce the performance (fps). So I adjusted the LOD multi down to 2 for the most cams (flickering was the same but better performance).
    On your cams the flickering was even more annoying and I saw the very low value for "Front Plane Depth". I raised the "Front Plane Depth" to 2.0 whenever possible and that's the solution to LOD flickering in tv cams. Thank you very much. :D

    Here is my current version of the cam file for testing (devmode only, doesn't work in gamemode, you have to create an update to use them). I will include the new cams in the next update.

    The new cameras are cam group 2 (press "page down" twice).

    Hi Tosch, are you refering to the shadow flickering in the grass caused by jagged lines? I can not solve this problem in any way, and I've tried changing "Texture Sharpening" or with the dll that allows CLAMP, and is more pronounced in Nords.
    Can't wait for then next update ;)
    Thank you so much guys by not letting the Ring fall into oblivion, it deserves !

    Great cams. I think a lot of people underestimate their importance. Can make or break a track for me. Makes a good track great.
    Thanks

    Thanks to DJC and Tosch for these updates! It is great to see collaboration instead of conflict in the community. The YT with the new cams is super, no flickering on the cars... YAY! :)
