Just realized the video was set private. Now it should work.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

thanks Giuseppe, will definitely follow this project here, though it's pretty much well done already

 

[Rigel]

Yeah, that's pretty much the best I can achieve at the moment so not sure I'll be able to improve it further.

 

[Tom Blackett]

Thanks for the update! Love the new cams and the fast layout.

Great work!
In case anyone else doesn't know, it's used by Aris in the SurrealCar videos:

I am soooo loving the new version of this track. 2.0 made me love the Gallardo, and this morning, 3.0 made me love the Abarth 595 S1. Such a fun combo! Drove it for an hour.
Perfect place for a "slow" 1960's econobox or a 500+hp supercar

Has anyone noticed AI teleporting into pits? Check the gray Alfa up ahead:

Also noticed this in Mills.

 

[Rigel]

Thanks for reporting it, Arthur. I'll try to reproduce it. Was it during a race session?
[edit] Yes, just happened to me too, with the Ford Escort.
Looks like something is very wrong with fuel calculations. I'm fiddling around with the track length json files and see if it works.

It might be because there are no ideal_line.ai files in the data folder.
Thanks for the update, will try it out soon!

That, and also the pit line was not working, so they got teleported instead of entering the pits.
I've added the ideal_line file (simply copying the fast_lane one) and recorded a new pit_lane too. Now they seem to load the correct amount of fuel, but some of them still stop to refuel on the last lap.
Hopefully the night brings advice

I think I sorted it out. Could you guys give it a try before I upload the whole package? Thanks

Fantastic track-mod again Rigel! But compared to your Mills Metropark on this Modena-track I can feel no bumps. Do you have physical mesh yet or is Modena really that "flat"?

Works a charm now

Thanks! Yes, the track does have a physical mesh. Here's how it intersects with the flat visual road:

For Mills I tried to replicate an old and bumpy tarmac, in fact the grip factor is a bit lower too.
Here in Modena instead I didn't notice any prominent bumps from all the videos I watched, so I gave it a generic feeling.

Works a charm now

Cool, thanks

If anyone searches this thread in the future, I solved making the ideal_line from a new fast_lane file. It either needed a new one, or it just needed to be driven at full speed.

 

[rd.king]

thanks for the update.
The optimization is perfect.
It's a blast drifting around with 23 other cars on the track.

Great work on this little track!
After randomly stopping after T1 i found a little hole in the road.
Take a look at the right rear at the screenshot.

That's unexpected. Thanks, I will investigate!

 

[Rigel]

Wow, there was a single triangle missing in the whole track, and you found it!

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

thanks a lot Rigel! still not the most convincing track name convention. By just naming the track as modena and leave a readme.txt file inside with the changelog would be enough. just a thought
