Tracks Battenbergring 1.1.1
- Thread starter Fat-Alfie
- Start date
A few of the visible changes:
fixed typo in SPORTWAGON
altered church spire modelling and added weathervane
made use of the empty bins
replaced non-period correct cars with a giant rubber duck and a brown bear
Also, it's a minor thing and not worth another update, but @The Vampire noticed that in data/lighting.ini SUN_HEADING_ANGLE=222.111765343103, and since the track was modelled with the correct real-life orientation, sun rise / set will be wrong. Just change it to =0 for correct sun position - sorry.

PROS:
1- Fat-Alfie, always perfecting perfection, taking care of the little details. Incredible. Thaaanks.
2- With this mods, we learn some history. The lesson that I learn today is that in 50's there where already chavs in parking lots...
CONS:
1- I've never been to Germany and I wanted to go on holidays some day... but these tracks are going to be guilty of never going there; with the level of detail in these mods, it's like I've already been there...
To finish, a suggestion: for the next hooligans scenario, you can use some Franziskaner Weissbier bottles, please (I'm fine with any of the unfiltered varieties, Naturtrüb or Dunkel). It may not be geographically exaaaactly accurate and it probably wouldn't be a hooligan's beer of choice, but are my favorite among the abbey beers and I would feel great joy...

Hi @Fat-Alfie , as suggested I have tested Battenbergring with and without grass.kn5...
WITH grass.kn5
25-06-2022, 19:23:44 acs.exe benchmark completed, 16914 frames rendered in 374.761 s
Average framerate : 45.1 FPS
Minimum framerate : 34.8 FPS
Maximum framerate : 54.1 FPS
1% low framerate : 35.1 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 33.6 FPS
WITHOUT grass.kn5
25-06-2022, 19:15:23 acs.exe benchmark completed, 20713 frames rendered in 380.674 s
Average framerate : 54.4 FPS
Minimum framerate : 45.5 FPS
Maximum framerate : 60.0 FPS
1% low framerate : 46.0 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 45.2 FPS
The minimum frame rate is noticeably down on the typical FPS for most of the track, and for both cases above occurs after the 3rd hairpin on the run back toward the start finish line.
GPU: R9 270 2GB. No stuttering seen, VRAM appears sufficient.

CSP 0.1.68, SOL 1.5.5, GrassFX is OFF, as are most FPS heavy extras.
Fonteny with world details HIGH (grass is present but there is less of it than very high)...

Your work is nothing short of amazing - thank you so much!
May I ask whether you consider Stuttgart's Solitude track as one of your future choices?

Wow what a great track, noticed only shimmer on the vertical wooden objects like telephone poles and road fences.
Great masterpiece a new benchmark

Not sure if someone else have mentioned it, but right before the 11 km stone on the right hand side, there are some big holes between the track surface and the dirt, that will launch the car to the moon if you get too close. They seem to start around the 50 meter sign a bit further back..
Also I am getting a track cut warning when leaving the pits for the first time..'
Otherwise a top notch track!

The FPS improvements are noticeable in this build. Great work.

Well I know what I'll be doing this evening
Fat-Alfie is a genius.
Every track he has ever created gives you the feeling of 'going somewhere'.
Just a few minutes ago, I was discussing with the Center Manager here at HondaJet, Greensboro about Fat-Alfie's work.
We were discussing how interesting it would be to get sim 'modders' involved with airport modelling for our simulators.

@Fat-Alfie suggestion for the next track: historical ASSEN TT, 1926-1955. or the North West 200
both clear road circuits.

Errr... please, no... we want Fat-Alfie full time for us, the sim racers
...although always it's possible to reach an agreement; there's racing tracks in some airports...

Thanks for the update! Can I trademark 'Leaves of Death' for my 90s throwback emo band name please?
Do you know what cars and what aggression settings you're using? I find it works well with most default cars or ones with nicely turned ai.ini settings.
