Salzburgring is a track which has undergone a few edits by plenty of different people since being converted to AC from RFactor1 . While we wait and pray for someone to do the necessary 3D work to remove the post-1975 chicanes, add the gorgeous mid-century Kurierturm etc, I thought a few quick wins might be had with some visual-only edits.
Gone are the most obvious modern things like pit lane computers, the Red Bull arch, debris catch fences etc. I've replaced the billboards/signage with some period-correct stuff based on photos and video I could find online, especially ETCC, F2 and of course bike races from back in the day. The usual adjustments and hacks were necessary to suit aspect ratios/locations, encouraging the consumption of local beer etc. As now seems usual for me, the grass is a bit higher as well, so watch out for hidden tyres that are still lurking there.
Fun fact: this track has an entire high resolution texture dedicated to the eyeballs of the cows grazing inside Nockstein-Kehre. I resisted the urge to mess with it.
Enable this layout and use CSP, there's no true 'skin' here.
This track skin only works with Custom Shaders Patch; it's delivered as an alternate track layout to hopefully make installation straightforward, especially online. The layout itself is an exact replica of that found in v1.76 of the base track, so I recommend updating to that version or later if you haven't already.
Big thanks to everyone involved in getting this track mod made and improved over more than a decade now.
As always please let me know of any bugs in the 'Discussion' tab and I'll see whether I'm smart enough to fix them.
