Woohoo!

Cannot wait to relive my old ICR2 days. I went to this race in 97' - had a fantastic day of it.

Huge thanks for this.

Thanks Patrick and team.

Also a big fan of ICR2. Started it up recently and boy does it look bad now but it was great at the time.

Went to this race in 2000 and took this at the first corner. Looks like a typical simrace to me

Patrick Giranthon updated Vanport (2 seasons, 2 layouts) with a new update entry:

Pit marking

Sorry for this new uload but real marking I built in V1.01 has made the pit entry/exit marking a bit unclear.
As I am not quiet with that and dont want to take any risk, I have added two marks on the road to be sure of the pit limits.
Some Mb to download again, but I think this time it is ok

Lol, I forgot to pack the new files in the MAS. But, hey, no worry, it will like like a charm like this
Will update one day if something else is needed

Looking at those pics, I don't see any shadows being cast from anything.

Are they some kind of dev pics?

 

[Jeff Huber]

OMG!!! I just saw the new Cart extreme mod....and now this!!?? I live 1 mile from the track and have been racing MX there for about 30yrs! I now know how I'll burn most of my Sunday!

The best cart mod ever...on top of my home track.....Good lord I'm in heaven!

Thank you so much Patrick! You are the man!

Bug with the chicane summer version (possibly both chicane versions). Staying inside of the chicane without even touching the rumble strips gives you a cut track.

Bug with the chicane summer version

I will have a look, no doubt the cut track is not set correctly here as I needed to hack the corridors at the chicane to (try anyhow) get the AI thru the corner.

 

[Will Mazeo]

Yes it's happening, we had this track in our league and had to change to the no chicane version because the penalty in T1 is insane.
Also for some reason this track is giving me 100% disk use what makes the game freeze someitmes, never seen this before.

Patrick Giranthon updated Portland (2 seasons, 2 layouts) with a new update entry:

This mantanance update fixes cut track and improves AI starts on the chicane version

AIW, sorted out the cut track issues at the chicane, some improvement to AI making the chicane after a standing start. Tweaks to lane spacing and groove width, Latest AI parameters
TDF, rebuild with expanded terrain effects for runoff, pit lane, add some missing parameters , correct some parameter values
SCN, random clouds enabled

The 3d sawtooth curbs and the tall triangle curbs have reduced height to help keep the AI from "tripping" on them.

Packed some loose GMT's into the MAS from the...

Thanks for the update! One of my favorite tracks! Wish this would also be available in Assetto Corsa.
One thing I noticed when I tried out your new version: the AI seems pretty slow in turns 4, 4a and 5 (the three right handers after the chicane). Check map here.

I don’t know if it’s car related, I just tried it with the Formula Classic @ 105% strenght.

Beside from that great track as always, top notch quality.

 

[Gringo]

the AI seems pretty slow

You're just too good for them. What lap times do you set in the FC?



Keep in mind last changelog for AMS says something about reduced aggression for AI.

Maybe you need to turn the AI strength up a bit to match you skill now.

For myself I can beat the AI at 105 in certain cars... other cars they put me in my place at the back of the pack, as they should.

 

[F_B]

I’m doing low .59 in Portland, but I’d call myself an average simracer speedwise.
Now I had the agression at medium level, perhaps I’ll rise it next time.

You're right by mentioning the AI speed with certain cars. In the CART mod 100% is enough for me, as far as i remember.
