AI OPTIONS include 'AI Standard' and 'AI Super Lead'

In a race at Milwaukee, a fellow driver, Duke Dinsmore, was thrown from his car during an incident in the south turn. Rex Mays was leading the race and saw Dinsmore's body lying in the middle of the south turn. Rex spun his car into the wall, got out of the car, and pulled the unconscious Duke Dinsmore to safety. Because of his selfless heroic action, the June race at the Milwaukee Mile was named the "Rex Mays Classic" (from 1950 to 1987).

Famous Indy car oval over the decades

A near flat wide surface that is a nice contrast to high banked ovals. Different technique, different setup needed to get the most out of this legendary track.

Peace, regards

This is really good. And it's great to have a decent oval with good AI in AC. Thank you :) One thing is really holding this track back though: the colour of the grass, I would say it is really not right.

FormulaET

Yes, this is like a Mario Kart Nintendo version.... I am a novice at track building. So some things are neglected, or exaggerated.
I wanted to get this out there as no one had made it for AC. It led to other projects as you can see. Fine tuning the art of it, well.....let's just say I play guitar a lot better than re creating life like images LOL... Thanks for the review and rating.. Enjoy the oval and the Road course, as my main focus was getting the track as fun as I could for Hi speed racing.

Man, that makes my day!! I'm a rookie builder so that means a lot. If you use CrewChief software...man, you can do a 50% race and get in the zone, big time. Thanks again and share with your friends!

I love the track and gave the UI addition 2 stars accidentally.
(inexperience in doing reviews) I do appreciate that you are
continuing to improve on the track and care about what people think of it. Keep up the good work. Both the oval and the infield tracks are fun to drive. More pits and more variety in the textures would be nice, but the track is very good.

FormulaET

Thank you, sir. Star rating mishap understandable.
I took care in prioritizing the 'feel' of each layout; the most important aspect.
Nice to hear you enjoy them, nonetheless.
If memory serves, Milwaukee was set up for 22-24 cars. It is definitely too small for an Indianapolis pit allowance of 33. But I'll see what can be done to accommodate the masses in regards to sim racing.
As far as textures, I am still learning, so that will take time.
The tracks, however, are pretty much complete.... for now.
Thanks, again!

Excellent track! Good oval tracks for AC are a rarity, and ovals useful for single players are even rarer. Sure, far from being perfect but this mod is clean work nevertheless. Full working and challenging AI, decent graphics, grippy road surface, TV and Heli replay cams, and last but not least a fun and tricky little oval track, what more do you need? I love this mod! :)

FormulaET

Thanks, Niki! Glad you're enjoying it. I sim race myself, so I've tried pretty hard to make this respond as if it's an in game track, not a throw together. Thanks again, Nice 1

This track is starting to look like something. AI has come out for practice. Great to chase someone. Thanks.

FormulaET

Yes, I actually enjoyed my first AI trackday mode LOLOL. If you set the AI to 100% you are in for a well balanced race. Grateful for everyone's positive input, Elvis. I got the mojo now for AI.

i like it because it is an oval (im from europe so, no ovals) and it looks o.k (not bad), but with ai, im always 3 or 4th on finish, even when im last. i hope it is going to progres, great fun.

FormulaET

Thanks, Ivan. This is my rookie track so I get the "ok-ness". I have my work cut out for me in regards to 3D modelling. Though...... the terrain is dead accurate to the real circuit in terms of bumps. In regards to AI, I made the fast.lane as well as the track boundaries; the AI are following (my) line throughout the race.
If you want a winning result, you'll have to drive your arse off. If you want a more even keel, may I suggest lowering the AI strength.

I may be biased here being from Wisconsin, but this mod is gonna be awesome. To have a track I grew up going to with my father in a proper racing sim game is great. I look forward to seeing feature updates and progress on this! Keep at'er!

FormulaET

Kind words, brother from the north! Rest assured I will give it my best shot. Be patient as I am new to this, but the fire is there.
Lots of detail to be done, enjoy a rip around this for now... it will be even better by the newest update..... The Pressure's On!

FormulaET

Coolbeans. I'm glad you and others are stoked about it. Still alot to do, will have to a few things before it's race ready. The track feels good, so the peripherals are needing a lot of attention.

We'll have to withhold final judgement until we see the finished product, but A+ for intent. We now have a trio of really impressive IndyCars from VSC to choose from...and too few ovals to run them on. So here's a pint of Old Milwaukee Lager to you!

FormulaET

Thanks for support. I agree in regards to oval selection.
Trust I will do the best I can at developing. Huge learning curve to build.
Helps to build a track I've loved since childhood.

You're a hero omg, I was just thinking how awesome Milwaukee would be with the Formula NA. Can't wait to see how this grows going forward.

FormulaET

Glad someone wondered the same thing. Gots lots of work to do on it.
I found running the road kit of the 99, softer rear bump, less negative camber, softer rear roll bar makes her manageble.

Any one who offers a one star rating is someone who would rather put down than uplift. Be nice boys, this is WIP.
