@LilSki I think is better to concentrate to adding light/night light (and 3d grass and other things) instead of adding new layout.

there will be no 3d grass for real, just grass fx, he said already and also said there's no racing held at night IRL so..

GTAce · May 4, 2020

GrassFX is enough and lights (where they'd be in real life) can be added by others.

We will do a proper light config for the next update

Lights testing ............

GTAce · May 4, 2020

Just drove it for the first time, wonderful, wonderful work.
Tested it with the Tatra to really appreciate the width compared with the old version, the difference is huge.
The road surface feels so natural, even when using a controller.

Impressive stuff, as always and a sign of greater things to come. Which version of CSP do you guys recommend to use with this track? I'm still on 1.46 with SOL 1.5 and suffer from most of the trees flickering (albeit smoothly) all around the circuit - that's the only issue that spoils the fun somewhat.

Use latest CSP version (1.5.2 if i'm right). All works fine

Slwoly progress

Art-J · May 4, 2020

Yep, 1.52 solved it, thanks!

Why are the road lines set to light up?

Master · May 4, 2020

Niiiice Workkk
the grass makes a big difference! But look at my ta with the day and night reversed, is that correct?

To add a ittle light on some portions of the track because no poles with lights (alos it create a relection like headlights illuminate them on raod). You can remove it if you want.

Also added two missing bridges

I'll set up a proper official config for the next update

Master · May 4, 2020

The animations of the marshall are very good ... it was really awesome, is it possible to launch a marshall package for all the tracks?

Sparaks · May 4, 2020

Just done a quick run on it with the 2018 VRC Indycar mod.
The track is well done and it's very fun to drive on it.

Finally we have a quality version of this amazing track

Thank you guys.

Its possible, but I'm only doing them for my projects. But Im sure someone will pick this up in the near future and setup a package for other tracks

Is this your creation? would it be difficult to do that? with a few coordinates I could develop something

Kryogenix · May 5, 2020

I really can't wait to try this out, but for whatever reason I can't get it to work.
I dont even have BLM Lights installed and I deleted the files you proposed, and now it just crashes instead of the Race Cancelled splash screen. Not sure whats going on.
