Tracks Spielberg 2.0

[AnklaX]

This track is pretty much perfect but needs one change. Its the trees. When I'm driving seriously, I'm not looking at the tree but the pattern, that has emerged from using the same tree one beside the other is distracting, even when I'm really not looking. If you get a few different type of trees in a bunch randomly and make the forests that way, it would look more natural. Other than that, pretty much perfect.

Thx, but I doubt I will get into that much of a work to change so many trees. Because AC will create a laser scanned track, so let`s wait with my version for it.
Besides, there are 15 different trees near the track, only in the surrounding trees are pine trees (that would need some work - I admit it).

Mitja Bonca updated Spielberg with a new update entry:

Spielberg 1.4

What is new in version 1.4:
- new 2016 layout (added new curb into 1st turn and run off area) what is done in real life up to date
- new lighting (ambient & diffuse) of the tarmac and run-off areas (according to Assetto Corsa 1.5 and higher) and many other objects
- changed some mash (track, grass and send trap)
- remodeled the up hill into 1st & 2nd turn
- changed curbs and cubes (beside curbs on outer side) in some of the turns (to suit to current layout)
- changed and added some trees
-...

Tomorrow on 24th of April I will go to the track location to watch Red Bull Air Race at Spielberg. I will take pictures of the latest modifications and put them into this project. I hope I will be able to see all of them (because there is looots of changes for this year).

Hi Mitja, thanks for the update. When doing a race weekend on 1.4 earlier I experienced some issues:

• Seven of 15 (offical) AI cars I raced suddenly retired after the first corner, not sure what happened.
• There is some sort of pixelated effect on the whole of the circuit, regardless of PP preset (playing on max graphics settings) The issue doesn't occur on official tracks or any other mod tracks as far as I'm aware, it also didn't occur on Spielberg 1.3. See this album: https://imgur.com/a/CB6vH/embed
  
• After 30 laps I did a pit stop, drove into the indicated box and came to a full stop, the pit screen showed for a second and then disappeared. Couldn't make it stay after several attempts, no matter the gear. Doesn't happen on official tracks or mod tracks I tried doing pit stops on so far.
• It would probably be a good idea to give some attention to the small road that joins the track again after the run-off at Rauch, it's a bit too narrow and pretty rough.
• Some of the trees seem to be much brighter than others (no matter the distance, not related to fog, PP preset). And even at late afternoon time, mid clear (official) weather, all the colours look a bit flat too compared to other circuits. Again, see album (made with default PP preset).

It's still good fun to drive though. =]

Nice!

This has physical FFB mesh (invisible bump mesh for FFB feeling instead of "flat" track that many mod tracks have)?

 

[Mitja Bonca]

In new update there will be much batter physical mesh.
And besides, I was there on site this Sunday watching Red Bull Air Race. I took lots of pictures of the track. And I have to say, this year there is a lot of new stuff, lots of changes.
Here are some of them:

New video of work in progress of the new 2016 layout and all modifications (according to the real track and surrounding).
What do you think?

That looks fantastic.. Track is as beautiful as ever.. What pp filter do you use?

 

[Mitja Bonca]

That pic from video cover is only PS (if it's that what you meant). Else no filters.

 

[Glaurung]

What do you think?

Thanks so much for your dedication to this project, really a great work.
So well done that Kunos could invest in this mod, as they did with Zandvoort, implementing it with the laser scanned surface.

Now it has.

Hi Mitja, thanks for the update. When doing a race weekend on 1.4 earlier I experienced some issues:

In new 2016 version AI will be completey new (to 1.5 standards). Will check about that pit stop issue what it might be wrong.

 

[Alex72]

Now it has.

Thank you Mitja! Great work.

Cool cool!

Someone's trying to give Kunos a hard time selling their DLC in July

Hi, just curious: What changed between 1.4 and 2.0 that reduced filesize so much? Generally I'm always a bit worried with tracks under 200MB, but yours looks spectacular.

There were old kn5s in the two previous releases doing nothing but taking up space. I would assume these are gone now.
