Hey,

I’ve worked with DDF Racer to bring a slight overhaul to Circuit Thermalito. Daniel has worked on the AI for the existing long layout, and the AI and Cams for the new short layout. The short layout follows the route over the bridge. The layout has been accessible for a while through the Patreon early access. But it’s been upgraded now with new kerbs, tec-pro barriers, signage and as previously mentioned the new AI and Replay cameras. The updates bring the track up to spec for hosting the 2024 Thermalito events. More information will be provided shortly.

The list of changes is as follows:

Included a whole new layout (short), new AI, replay cams etc.

Includes support for the latest PURE and CSP features.

Revised night lighting.

Fixed the night sky in the new CSP versions.

Added new tyre marbles around the track.

Removed old marbles.

Performance optimizations across the board.

Normals fixed on kerb objects.

New skidmark textures, and subdivided meshes - for smoother looking tyre marks.

New shaders for the tyre marks.

New AI hints file for the standard layout (Thanks DDF for supplying those)

Recalculated Normals on the tecpro blocks around the track.

Visual changes to some of the lighting around the dam area, where there used to be gradient lights.

Thanks,
Ty

Potentially fixes a bug where older versions of the track could be used online.

Hey,

Quick update, fixes a hole in the track, and adds in stringent track limits on some more of the easily cuttable corners.

Added some UI Elements from @Fanapryde

Also added a wall to stop the use of the short layout bridge. As that's not ready to be used yet!
