Tracks RIGA EAST (OUTDATED MORE INFO IN DESCRIPTION.) 0.7

[Benders]

Really nice! What do you use for making tracks?
Cheers!

Hi!

Quite simple really - RTB for terrain, roads and object placement. SketchUp for 3D models (atm learning blender to have the models a bit more detailed in the future, but still learning and I might jump ship from blender to something else such as 3DSMAX. but, taking a week long break now since i'm going aboard a bit.)

Mezciems general update.

Hi!

It's almost been a month without an update. Been really busy in my real life, but I've still have managed to cram some time in to update the track.

I still believe I'll be able to stick by the timeframe, I have added some things to the map. Here are some screens.

As promised, there will be now traffic signs and as well speedbumps in certain areas. View attachment 591643

Some roads have been redone, the parking lots now are more or less driveable.

- Some new buildings, fixes to existing ones.
- Road signs, traffic ligts.

How do you actually get into the free roam? Am I just being stupid because I have scoured the internet and cannot find how you do this.

Map it self currently has no layout, so you are free to drive wherever. I've done some tests within free roam with traffic, but atm im looking for a host for a server.

So fun to drive especially after visiting Riga Drift Masters Bikernieki and drove these same areas and streets with car

Thanks! Yup, the track is right there. Wish I could get the permission from the Bikernieki track mod to include it in the map, but it is what it is.

New update soon!

Some time has indeed passed since the last update. I took a bit of a break from modeling for a few weeks after the release of 0.6 and only worked on a few bug fixes and so on, however, I'm back and I can say that an update is indeed coming soon!

Here is what you can expect in the next update.
- Reworked vegetation for the forest.

CSP Traffic!

Hi guys!

I'd like to apologize for not getting an update out the last weekend, however.

I've been using this time set up CSP traffic within the map! By 0.7 release, you should be able to race around with CSP traffic.

At the moment, I'm doing some last minute polish to the map + I've encountered a bug which somehow removed all of the colision (besides the ground) on the map, so a little paitience. Hopefully this gets out this or the next weekend.

Let...

Progress on 0.8

Hello!

Some time has indeed passed since the last update. I took a little break, but for the past 3 months, I've been slowly working on the next version.

New stuff? A lot.
- New road textures are in works, but I have not decided if I'll use these ones or others.
- Elevation adjustments
- Some areas are more detailed now, some are recreated, more parking lots.
- Extra roads that go around the whole map, so you can semi-count these as extra neighborhoods Would like to expand on them in...

While this won't come in 0.8, it's a thing that will absolutely happen in either 0.9 or 1.0!

Integration with the Bikerniecki track would be great? Would it be possible to create a racetrack with both with using the pitlane from Bikerniecki? Similar of the Nordschleife Endurance track in which the Nurburgring and the Nordschleife are integrated?

Currently, I have not went this far in exploring the option, but I'll definitely take a look into it once I get a chance.

Current goal would be to get both maps combined, while keeping the map playable and so on. But, races, street cross layouts, circuits, maybe some other fun layouts like drift/gymkhana are up for consideration One of the better ones would be of combining parts of the track and parts of the neighborhood in one race.
