A little track skin and alternative ext_config for Sergio Loro's excellent Sandevoerde track. Let me start by saying I am not trying to fix any problems with this because the track by itself is awesome and does not need fixing. If you are a fan of vintage tracks\cars, this is a must have track, IMO. I'm just giving it a slightly different look for change of pace.
The skins and ext_config do not have to be used together. You can use the default ext_config with these skins and it will be fine. Or use the new ext_config and no skins and keep the more green look. My ext_config only adds some small seasonal adjustments, again just to change the look so I don't feel like i'm always driving the same track.
The skins add a hint of brown to one of the grass textures for more of a sand based grass look. I got the idea from a race video someone posted for me to watch over at the GTPlanet mods forum. There are two versions of the skin, one with darker brown grass, one with lighter brown.
There are also two ext_configs with different seasonal LUT values. The default one has a slightly more washed out, warm feel. The _alt version has deeper colors and a cooler feel. There is no traditional winter look with either version because I was told the area does not typically get heavy winter snow. You will have to rename them to try each. Plus, I left the original file in there so you don't have to worry about overwriting the original. If you want to roll back to it, just rename it.
Couple pics to help you decide if you want to try this and which combo.
