Tracks Italotracks payware thread - Napoli 1934-57 released

[Italotracks]

That is sad to hear. Not to start another rant but, I feel the simracing community has changed.
Many choose quantity over quality, and there are soo many badly made mods out there, that projects like yours get overlooked.
Clearly you are very passionate about your work, and having spent many hours at Napoli, Pescara was a no- brainer for me (as was Reims, @Sergio Loro ).

On another note: Maybe I got it wrong, but has there been an Update for Pescara? I did not recieve an e- mail or something?

Thanks for your post, and your support, I appreciate it very much!

Sergio's work is fabulous, I'm not sure how he does it, but for every track I make he brings out ten, and of a very high quality!

Sorry if you didn't get the update! There was a small fix that corrected some tree lighting and textures, I sent out an email from my store to all my purchasers of Pescara, but I think the Sellfy email service is a bit buggy, because less were sent than I had customers. If you check your purchase email it should hopefully enable you to find your way back to my store and obtain the newer download. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

How is this not getting much more hype?? I've been waiting for proper Pescara for so many years, it's amazingly well done, many thanks.
I've bought it twice to support Italotracks.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

I think I released it at a bad time with everyone being focussed on AC Evo, and so understandably the bulk of articles and simracing videos since then have been on that subject. I think that this site only features free mods hosted here, so one could make the entire Mille Miglia and it wouldn't get a mention if it's hosted elsewhere. It's their policy, which is fair enough.

I did inform a few well known English /Spanish speaking YouTubers about it a while after release, but neither did they reply, nor did they download the track, so there's not much left I can do! Again, it's their choice what they feature. There is an Italian language video from Mazz racing and an English one from A Casual Racer, both are very nicely done.

I am however very grateful for all the kind comments, encouragement and coverage that it has received so far, so thanks to you and all my other customers and to those who took the time to leave comments or make videos featuring it.

Simracing604 has also done a video featuring it.

And then you have channels that don't do commentary, but like Someguy1785, Sander Wolbert, and Vintage Motorsport each have a video showing it.

Thanks a lot for mentioning that, Simracing604's video didn't appear to me, and I'm a subscriber! It's a very nicely done video.
I've let Sander, Someguy and Matt know I appreciate their videos
I don't want to seem ungrateful in any way, I'm aware that there are loads of amazing (and free) mods that deserve the limelight as well!
Pescara doesn't seem to be generating many clicks in terms of the videos, which surprises me, and has actually been slower in terms of sales than Napoli, which also is strange. Perhaps long tracks are a turn off for some? Speaking to another author of tracks, his sales soon after launch were around a third of what he cautiously expected, and he's having to stop working on them full time and look for other means of income, as has to be the case for me as well.

jakubrcma and bornauta Poloni39 have videos, too.

You can make a free circuit, the client does not have as much confidence when entering a page that only has paid content. For example, racesim has some free products, those are the most downloaded from its page, most people who have downloaded a free racesim mod end up buying its products, it is a reciprocal need that the client generates. And it would also increase visits to your page by not having to pirate your content and being able to download it legally from the official page.

Mitsos has now added a video showing off Pescara, and given how many views/comments it's generated in just a day or 2, I figure that can't be a bad thing.

What a fantastic mod this is, waiting for all these years has truly paid off as this has to be one of, if not the best track mod in AC so far. Thank you so much for your hard work and determination!

Thanks very much Mitsos, I'm glad you like it!
Thanks for putting together that video, I look forward to seeing more of them! it's very well driven - I know exactly how tough it is to string together a clean lap!
I think it of about 470 buildings made, only a handful weren't crashed into at some point in development.
