Tracks Pinwheel Circuit 2.1.3

[je5]

The barriers on the short track aren't going away, the AI are making the turn off the main circuit and barreling into it at full speed. Short course isn't usable...View attachment 686159

Hi there. I've put words in bold at the top of the main page and a read me text file in capital letters that explain that you must do a clean install because CM won't update all the kn5 files for some reason if you drag and drop (this is the default option so you don't overwrite things I guess by mistake).
Then it will work fine, nothing I can do about it otherwise unfortunately, just delete the pinwheel folder from before and start again.

Thanks, my mistake and I appreciate the response. I'm guilty of not reading the post and dropping it straight into CM in my excitement to run it. Cheers!

No worries! Great that it works now. I wish there was some other workaround for those that have a previous version (a way to tell CM in the zip file somehow) but otherwise I think that's all I can do.

je5 updated Pinwheel Circuit with a new update entry:

Pinwheel 2.1.1 (Max is champion)

Just the very minor annual update to the wall of champions. Max is now a 3-time world champion, joining the likes of Brabham, Stewart, Lauda, Piquet and Senna (not bad company).

Also took the chance to make some very small tweaks to ambient lighting for a couple of materials, and to add a Rain_FX occluding plane for the tunnel - tested in 'lights-patch-v0.1.80-preview346-full'.

No real need to download if you have 2.1... unless you are a Max fan

John.

Any excuse is a good one to drive on this track again! But I'm sorry to mention certain problems I'm having with this new 2.1.1 version (installed manually from scratch); I don't know if it will happen to anyone else...

The thing is that in the Short layout there are certain elements that appear and disappear suddenly when very close to them. For example, the white walls at the entry of the tunnel:

Are...

... dissapear...

... and appears again...

And the same with direction markers, both the one on the left and the one in front, or the flag pannel at right...

At the exit of the tunnel, the staircase on the right and the roller coaster also appear and disappear...

... continued in the next message...

... the guardrail...

...and when I made a U-turn to check all this, I thought I saw too that the Wall of Champions also disappeared and appeared when driving in the opposite direction...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm so in love with this track that it hurts me that it has these drawbacks...

How bizarre, thanks for all the details and screenshots.

Haven't tweaked any of those things though so that is strange! Can I ask which version of CSP are you running? I'll see if I can recreate it at this end and go from there.

Thanks,
John.

 

[Perico Lospa]

... Can I ask which version of CSP are you running?...

Of course; I use the last public version, 0.1.79.

 

[je5]

Of course; I use the last public version, 0.1.79.

Thanks Perico,

I can't recreate this in 0.1.79 or 0.1.80-preview346 but strangely I can in 0.1.80-preview218!!
I can see the issue and get the exact same objects loading out at a certain distance. How bizarre.

The root of the problem appears to be the track occluder box that stops rain falling in the tunnel (the little Rain_FX tweak I made). The results appear sporadic for different versions of CSP, so it might be safe to just leave this out otherwise many users might experience the same issue and that wouldn't be great. I'll save that for a later version.

I'll fix with a quick 2.1.2 update...

Thanks again, all the screenshots you took time to make really helped me diagnose the problem. I wish I knew the proper solution though

Best,
John.

It's the least I could do to contribute a little something!

And thanks to you for creating and keep improving this authentic beauty of track, and above all, for sharing it.

 

[Perico Lospa]

Glad to say that... ALL IS ALL RIGHT AGAIN!

THANKS...

Love your fictional tracks. Great work. Great fun to drive!

Track, my friend, track... I wish they were trackS... Or are there more je5 gems hidden somewhere?

True, sorry. Thanks! Edited.
Doublezero has more than one.

Hey, for some reason the track doesn't show up in CM. I never had any previous versions installed. Any ideas as to why? Thanks!

Manual install ? If not, try that. I see no other reason why it shouldn't appear.

Yes, I did manually install it. I honestly have no idea what to do, this has never happened to me before.

Pinwheel 2.1.3

Max is champion again, so the Wall of Champions needs another update. He joins Prost and Vettel on 4 titles.
See you next year,
John.

That wall must be a right pain to update if it were to exist in real life. Max has moved up the list so we need to repaint half the names one space lower again

Thanks for the amazing circuit. It's amazing fun to drive.
