    The historic Texas World Speedway is one of only seven Super Speedways in the USA and was the only Super Speedway in the Southwest until Texas Motor Speedway was built

    In real life, the track is not in great shape. These days, only the 2.9 mile clockwise and counter(anti) clockwise versions are used.

    Included in this release are the following 6 layouts:

    The historic oval is very fast, but there's no modern safety equipment - drive at your own risk :)

    1.00 Release Notes:
    • RealRoad works, including curbing
    • Corner Workers work, but aren't very easy to see (they are positioned accurately to real life)
    • Some basic night lighting included
    • 4 HDR profiles included, 3 are Tosch's (recommend overcast)
    • Rubber for each track included - select the correct rubber (they're named accordingly - tws18_rubber, etc.)
    • AIW is not great, but works (recommend 105-110% AI strength)
    • Cameras are not great (I suck at cameras - sorry)

    I'm sure people will find other issues and I will try to address them in a timely manner. I'm a one man show, so don't burn me - I'm not a witch :)!

    Please uninstall version 1.0 before installing 1.1

    1.1 download

    1.1 update list:
    • doubled the resolution of road textures
    • improved quality of grass texture
    • added grip to gras material in .TDF
    • added pit box markers
    • fixed a couple of minor curbing issues
    • relocated 3 cornerworkers for accuracy
    • increased the banking on turns 2&3 of the oval
    • removed trivial objects from review mirror using VisGroups
    • re-did left and right path in AIW
    • added block path in AIW
    • modified HDR profiles
    • added layout text to icons

    :::EDIT:::
    I've made a few laps with Brabham BT20 on V2.9 CW and this layout is just great !
    Thanks again.

    I just say thanks in advance for your work, and the thread presentation :)

    I'll probably say thanks later after I'll drive it ;)

    I just did some laps with the Corvette here, and no problems, on the clockwise layout.

    Thanks for the info. That's what I did all my testing with. In fact I used the 1.41 CR6s to create the rubber files.

    Please check which rubber version you've got selected before going out on track. There's a minor race surface difference between the 1.8/1.9 and the rest of the layouts. It shouldn't cause a crash though.

    How about your graphic settings? I tested on 3 different PCs with various settings, but maybe there's something I missed.

    Thanks for the multiple track :)
    @RCRacing, yours sounds to me like an installation problem; I would use the Sampler Installer overwriting your current installation, can't do any harm ;)

    Many thanks PB... it all works fine for me but I did notice that when I loaded the Overcast HDR profile (not sure if it`s one by Tosch or not as it just says "Overcast" and the others have Tosch`s name alongside so I`m guessing it`s not one of his?) that it was very dark and gloomy for the time of day (9:00am) and the cars (vettes) had the milky look to them that was introduced with b198.

    When I tried any other HDR profile or no HDR profile at all, it was fine and looked good.

    :)

    thanks PlickBadger,
    I loved your other track, this one is just as good if not better.
    Hope to get to race you online with it.

    Many thanks for this track. The moment you announced you were working on it I tried your rf1 versions and enjoyed them very much. Excellent job on this one, too. Like you said, AI could be stronger. Only other thing I can I think of which is a nit and I don't really know exactly how to say it but the road surface and cracks seem a little pixelated and also may be good to feel the cracks when you drive over them. Best example I can think of for this is rf1 Toban. Like I said, though these are nits at best and track is awesome fun and very well done. My personal favorites are the 1.8 and the 2.9s layouts.

    All my other tracks work. Just not this one :)

    Not sure how to post my images here for video settings.
    I did the re install to humor the guy that said was install. Same thing. CTD. Sucks cause I've been waiting for this track. :(
