Tracks Kyalami 2016 0.9.5

[Johnr777]

Really want to try this track , but I still can't get it to load. I have the newest version as of today ( 8.1 ). In CM it just cancels the race. Not sure whats up.

You have to install the folder with the extra shader needed for this track.

Ai won't leave the pits for me in practice or qualifying, they do race starts fine.

I can't get enough of this track and day/night transition is awesome - thanks for the hard work! I just wanted to report 2/3 issues I ran into going back to race weekend.

(quali session): I noted a car getting stuck in pits ramming the pit wall. Most cars still managed to set a qualifying time. This one does not bother me because I am here to race but the pit crew guy constantly does an overlaying redraw when moving. E.g. he looks to the left but the right facing image is still there then catches up - not sure if i explain that well.

(race session): Managed a good time in qualifying putting me on pole however it spawned me incorrectly each time with the car bouncing around first before settling facing the 2nd placed car's side door. It repeatedly did this on session restart. Let me know if you would need any more info on the issues.

Awesome work once again!

I think the yellow flag issue may have something to do with the AI cars sometimes hitting the pit entry which is really tight.

So Im going to do a pass on the AI next, with hints etc all round the track, including the pits.

This may fix that issue, as well as deal with the first phase of tweaking the AI in general, later braking in places etc.

Just tried setting up an MP race. Even though the track UI thinks it has 40 slots, if I try with even 32, nobody can join. Had to set it down to 24 to be usable.

porsche owned track, porsche constructors champ, porsche drivers champ, that's a good days racing for me

With shader patch seasons and grassfx you can have green grass and dry yellow grass or no grass at all (change is visible in game, no reloading necessary, camera has to be moved a little to redraw the grass). The only thing is the ground/grass base diffuse texture has to be green(ish).

The current ground/grass textures for Kyalami seem to be very deseturated so for example grassfx looks like grey hair. Increasing the texture saturation slightly, decreasing the diffuse and ambient shader values for the ground materials a little and tweaking the grassfx config values you can have much better results right now. With more suitable textures you could have the whole season thing working really nice.

And grassfx supports grass growth. This is for example uncut/high grass.

cut/low grass

Again, as green as it was during today's race is not the normal state of the track. I'd say one thing a guy pretty much living next to the track will get right is the colour of vegetation

Grass_FX has been rewritten since...

Lets wait until a definite version of it becomes the standard before we start talking about colors and seasons.

Currently: 0.1.31 (beta)

My point was that you can have both the normal and the abnormal states. You don't have to choose one specific state anymore.

Also ... collisions enabled in pit lane.

Coincidence?

Pit lane issue have been identified and being fixed.

Yup, thanks to @LilSki , the pits issue and yellow flag at crocodiles is resolved, and will be in the next update.

What, that the two parties who've been working on this track for some time both decided to show them at the IRL event? Not that much of a stretch imo. Things like that are planned quite a long time in advance, there is no correlation between kunos showing there's and Prototype's release.

Ok I believe you because you have 1000 rpm more than me lol

You "worked" for them right, why can't he work for kunos too?

Because you can watch the entire development of this track over at AC mods and it has nothing to do with the ACC track. It started as an RTB track that was crazy inaccurate (cause RTB = trash). Then it was discovered google scan data could be captured and then the second version was built into this.

Kunos tracks have almost all been built in house with the exception of Zandvoort for AC.

Awesome track and Thank you ! I have question regarding the race start with a 38 car grid I get vehicles launching in the air as if a collision before the green flag. Uploaded to track folder with update and it overwrite, then I just deleted the whole track folder and upload new update and both options I get same result.
