    been doing some testing and it seems to be AA related...i get the same lines using in-game AA - the lower the setting the longer the lines are...also if you turn in-game AA to level 8 the trees become transparent....using hardware AA the lines go away but then the trees look weird - including when i use marvelharveys 2X2 supersampling setting...been using in-game AA exclusively for months since Tuttle came on and said we were supposed to use it (i 'm pretty sure it was in the Atlanta Motorsports Park release thread) and have had no issues til now...other than that the track looks good - thanks Davidd

    here's a shot of how the trees look using hardware AA View attachment 19694

    didn't take long to spot that one! :) This is a rogue tree which is upside down- yep! I added the bottom edge to the tree alphas so I could spot this, which is what you see in the sky. Sorry it's still in - some flipping on this tree would sort it.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the comments everyone - seems not to bad apart from the tree glitch. :)

    Maybe some more on this, I hope so.

    The reason I never used the sces track was the fact that the ai braked on the home straight.... Ruined racing with the ai. I went back to senorman's version

    SCES is our racing series that Alex finished / built the track to compete in after Ethone approved my request.

    The track looks very impressive now, well done. :)

    I think the AIW block path has a kink in it, right when it crosses the finish line.
    AI cars that are on the right side of the track slam on the brakes there.

    Also, I noticed some trackside cam glitches here and there, activation issues and one camera that is obscured by a tree in front of it.

    From my side it would be very welcome, if you could take a look at this tracks AI. You and shiet have done really good work@mosport by shiet.

    A definate kink over the s/f line where the cars slow down for an instant, but very noticable on this long section.
    Hopefully more can be done on this?

    The fix for the slow-down over the s/f line is just a matter of grabbing a bunch of waypoints on either side of the line and then selecting "normalize curve".
    That should sort it out. :)

    Like I said, I think it may be the block path that has the kink, because I didn't see cars on the left side of the track slowing down, only the cars defending IIRC.

    Alex Coutie has offered the Max files for any one that would like to dabble on this. From the previous thread ....

    Yes, it's not totally accurate, but I didn't have the time to fix it. I can provide max files if anyone wants to do it.

    Cheers

    I don't know what's wrong with my monitor. But this track looks over saturated while other tracks are looking natural. Also the trees are flickering. I had the tree problem some month ago with sweetfx/mastereffects. But I did a new install without it. Too sad. This looks so great on the screen shots here.

    I guess the oversaturated look comes from a wrong bias material setting.

    Hi,
    I tested last day and I notice the rendering was blurred on the lines and textures.
    I have AntiAliasing at 4x and Aniso at 8X and the texture sharpening parameter in my player.json forced to 0 instead of auto.
    I have this issue only on this track, do you think there is something wrong (texture bias?)

    Hi MDK - thanks for the feedback.
    I'm not sure what is going wrong there for you on this, would be good to know a bit more. Could be some sort of hardware setting conflict?
    Meanwhile, I'm still experimenting! ;)
