Special thanks to Brendon Pywell, Brendan Elliott and Chris Larmour who gave permission and LOADS of original files to work with. Heartfelt thanks. I will do my best to make this track special. Mike Cantwell www.mikestrackbuilding.com Hey everyone, long time no post.... I have been lying low for a while with personal issues....my darling wife was diagnosed with cancer last year. We went though that first battle and in February this year was diagnosed again with cancer in her lymph nodes and lungs.....so I lost all interest in things as you can imagine. About 2 years ago I started chasing up getting permission to convert the original Oran Park track made for RF1 by Brendon Pywell, Brendan Elliott and Chris Larmour. I finally got the green light and Brendan Elliott and Chris Larmour have been so helpful. They even had all the original files (2+ GB worth) and I have those. I know another version of Oran Park has been done...this is not about competing etc, just another choice we have. I have already had criticism over this... Anyway, it is basically an easy conversion, but all the textures for the road and grass have to be changed and the original textures darkened etc so they do not bloom. Here are some WIP photos....
Thanks for the update, Mike. So sorry to hear about your wife's health issues. We're thinking about her and you. Glad to hear your priorities are straight. Our playing can wait.
Mate I am so sorry to hear about your wife, I hope everything goes well with her treatment. Goes without saying mate you want any help with the AIW on this just let me know.
Hi Mike so sad about your wife hope she fights through it. Oran park is a great track and pics look brilliant best of luck with everything mate
Hey everyone. First of all thank you for your thoughts and well wishes. Here is a bit of an update on the Kart Center. I am leaving it at that for the time being as the pits are the next area that need a good going over. These are the latest shots and the last 2 show the old RF1 version.
Here are shot shots from above, game and Google Earth There is a lot of differences but the scan and LIDAR information they used will help do the pit are quite fast. I will add a few buildings and there are 4 toilet block missing, the most obvious one is part of the control tower building. Another update next weekend...
Hey everyone. Going pretty well with the track conversion. I also hit a home run with getting Laser Scan data for Lakeside, QR and half of Oran Park....the bits I need. Here is a update on the track. Lots of work to be done with textures blooming etc, but 90% done. All that is really left is the lighting system, start, stop etc. Sorry for the crap quality....used W10 recorder instead of OBS.
I seem to remember an older version, most likely GTR2 where the track when left after the bridge. Could be old age mucking things up. Keep up the excellent work!
Hey everyone. I have installed to the game and tested the V8 Supercars in an AI race. Very pleased and it looks better than in the DEV Mode There are a few cosmetic things to get done and some final mapping and then I will post to Steam as Version 0.25 later today. The AIW file is from the 2008 track and it does not behave that well but they get around quite clean. Pit entry is tight . I will adjust the barriers a bit. The horizon is strange and has a shadow I can not get rid of, but in a future update I will have a large area around the track and ditch the horizon gmt. Mike
