Pacific Coast 1.0

Cheers mate. Really glad you're liking the added items... There will be continuous improvements as and when I learn more, mainly texture work... There is a location or two to go in yet.
Although I can't do that until some optimisation work happens first. Thanks for your continued reviews mate, Much appreciated :)

Thanks a lot Chris, thanks for testing it out... And thanks for the rating mate :)

Thanks mate. Sounds like you and your friends are having fun down here... That's really great to hear... It's a good track to relax on... Maybe have a competition with your friends to see who can make it in the fastest time, as it's also fun when you're on the limit ;) and pretty challenging. Thanks for the review mate :)

Sorry you're having trouble playing this on your rift Mike :(

Thanks, Firstly for the review... Secondly for being generous with the stars even though it's unplayable for you... and thirdly for the performance figures. I'm guessing if you're using the Rift, you already have more than enough performance to drive this track.... When it's optimised properly.

I think I already know a few of the issues why this track is much heavier on performance than it should be.
1) I need to name my objects respecting the KSTREE_GROUP naming convention.
2) When my UV mapping skills increase I need to combine textures into larger, texture "libraries".

Both of these things will massively reduce the DIP's/drawcalls which are causing the un-optimised performance issue.

No.1 will be easier to fix as I have to rename the trees/bushes into different KSTREE groups.
My UV mapping skills will take a bit longer to learn as I'm a 3DS Max newb and this is my 1st track.

I will run some tests with KSTREE_GROUP'ing and if it lowers the drawcalls noticeably I will upload another update soon.

You will one day (hopefully soon) be driving down here! ;)

No worries mate, and thank you for taking the time to review/rate. Have fun :)

Thanks mate, really glad you're enjoying it. Hope the barriers help when you decide to have a fast run :) and thanks for the rating!

Thanks mate, you're more than welcome... Thanks for the stars :)

Thanks mate... and thanks for the feedback... Glad to hear the feeling is good and the roadsigns are easier to read :)

Thanks a lot mate :)
This is the layer 2 base of the track... I still need to put another 3 layers in... that's why it's only 0.699. So I hope you enjoy where it goes to even more :)
I think the fundamentals are working pretty nicely now :)

Thanks Emmanuel... That's great to know you're enjoying it :)
Hope you're having fun chasing down some supercars.

Hopefully there will be servers one day soon...
If the word gets around, then maybe there will be...
When there are servers online I plan to make 3 or 4 Pusuit layouts, with pit boxes all over the map...

Thank you very much mate :)
That's extremely nice to hear... and makes all the hard work worthwhile :) Have some fun runs pal.

Please download the micro update (0.699a) to put roadsigns in Southbound.. which I accidentally missed in the models.ini
My apologies!

You are more than welcome mate :)
You're exactly right... This isn't perfect yet... But then it is only a 0.699 When it is a 1.0 then all the elements will be in place..
Including rockfaces, which is why I've gone easy
on the trees, bushes, 3D grass, 3D twigs... No point me putting 3D grass where rock is going to be ;) lol
The barriers will be going in after I make the polygons (tri's) along the track edge, different objects with dirt to tarmac transition..

Please download the micro update (0.699a) to put roadsigns in Southbound.. which I accidentally missed in the models.ini
My bad.

Maybe that was why you were going off... You weren't seeing the speed limit signs ;) lol

You're welcome Ronnie :) I'm glad that there are plenty of people that sometimes want to go for a cruise. Have some fun runs mate :)

Thanks mate :) Thanks for the review

Thanks Brandon :)
Fun's what it's all about mate... Looking forward to getting the updated version finished and on here. It's a massive improvement

Thanks mate, It is a very nice cruise...
v0.699 will be a much nicer cruise...
Have a look in the support thread for some screenshots ;)
Thanks for the rating, have fun :)

Thanks a lot Paul, Hopefully I'll have another update before the jolly fat guy in the coca cola lorry rolls by lol
Hope you're enjoying your Cobra down here mate.
Thanks for the rating :)

Thanks a lot mate, glad you're enjoying my work :)
You're more than welcome :)

Thanks mate, Cruising down here has to be done... And I noticed the traffic while looking on google maps... I may be adding some mystery random hazards so you might have to beware ;)
