    Some more updates with lines added to pits.
    Next to do are the kurbs, then SS will get the track to do the AIW file.

    Hi everyone...well I had a go at doing the AIW file by myself with average success. It is however working basically how I want and with the help of SS it will be fine tuned.

    The good news it is at packaging stage and I will do that tomorrow if I can and upload it.

    I want to add it to the QR track as a two track package, even though it is very bare, but certainly is quite fun with the Skippy and the Camaro. The F 3.5 cars seem to mess up a bit and the AI will need fine tuning, but in real life there are no pit stops at Lakeside. All races are rolling start and quite short.

    Lakeside is fun to drive and as much as I may get criticism I think it will go directly to Steam and be part of the track pack. Updates will be weekly for both tracks, and on going indefinitely.

    I will go through the image files and adjust the size and remove dead ones that are in the current QR. I am looking forward to build the vintage 1960s version too. That will be cool.

    RELEASED
    Update on steam.


    Queensland Raceways Track Pack Beta V0.10
    Built from scratch originally for rFactor 1

    This version is not a conversion rather an almost total rebuild from the original 3D Max files
    Queensland Raceway national circuit only at this stage
    All new road and terrain mesh
    All new fences and many new objects
    Real Road
    DX11 (some objects need tuning)

    Added Lakeside Park Beta 0.01

    This is a remade version of my original track. It is basic as of now but the AIW file etc is working well enough,
    but will be refined.

    I will be doing weekly updates, and upload each Sunday night. Updates will be done regularly and indefinitely.

    Special thanks to SS for the AIW and Cams

    Future releases will have:

    * All 4 layouts for QR
    * Lakeside current, 1980s and 1960s
    * Constant upgrades to terrain, grasses and objects

    It is still a Beta and very much a Work In Progress.

    Not sure why...Works perfect in Dev Mode.....but Lakeside is shown below QR in game.

    I may have to separate the tracks. Crazy.....

    Hi everyone....what a nightmare....I am now upload both tracks separately to Steam.....and there is the problem. If I upload QR...perfect.

    I created another mod folder but when I upload Lakeside it over writes QR and i only have the one item in the workshop. Trying to get it to write a fresh metadata.vdf file is the issue....sorry for the mess.
