Tracks Road America [Deleted]

[jim lloyd]

i have kslayered the track day objects and crowds. if i run it on high i get a steady 190 -210 fps on my system, which is about 5 fps less than i get on kunos track on average, obviously this my system

i grouped all the trees which helped a lot, also find that on conversions its a good idea to re-export all the textures with the photoshop nvidea plugin, got about 5-10 fps increase on average with this track just bu doing this

yes should just be a straight swap

is it just me or did the old trees have way more "depth" ? the new ones might look nicer but are a bit ...bland? this is "light clouds" weather btw maybe it's different when the sun is out

Just as downloaded this track a few days ago for SRS racing

I was really impressed by the track. It is very nice, and the layout is very well flowing, produces very good racing.

There was one big issue though - performance was quite low. I have capped AC on 70fps, but it was mostly 50-60. Ok for me, but cause very slight stuttering.

Can't wait to update this mod and race again there. Preferably in SimRacingSystem.

RoAm is one of my daily go-tos so some skin options for added variety would be terrific.

Great work on the recent updates btw, @jim lloyd. Very much appreciated.

I'm still a little unsure as to which is considered the 'best' AI line, so if somebody could please clarify?

Haven’t tried Jim’s new one but you can download mine under AC misc and just copy it to the AI folder. If you don’t like it just replace it again with Jim’s. Easy job.

lovely update, cheers!
noticed a couple of issues, skid marks illuminated when should be shaded:

some old issues:
shader/texture of this bridge is too dark

this thing is just vomit, maybe desaturating a bit would help

transition between grass and sand could be nicer, at least here where it is so close to the road

"tags": [
"test track",
"USA",
"circuit"
],
"country": "U.S.A.",

yeah i prefer the old tress too hope he reverts them

in theory the one included is the right one

It's even worse when the sun is out . Way too uniform (not enough shaded areas) barbie-land green makes them look somewhat too cartoonish and flat.

Is there any way we can replace some files to get the old trees back, or can we have them available as an optional package?

the old trees for those that want
