Tracks Targa Florio '73 alpha 0.1.0

yeah, about the trees, it's been a great concern and I made some test to see how big their impact againts performance. Or I can just create another layout which excludes trees. I think that will be the best. we'll see how it goes
Maybe you can ask @Ben O'Bro for some hints regarding trees & performance?
Dont just exclude trees, that can look weird. use maybe lower quality ones.
I made a test and put some trees in.
they're just temporary trees and I will replace them later with better textures. only to get some feedback about the performance.
so far so good. with around 60K trees, alpha tester says no performance drop noticed, and we got 200+ FPS without vertical sync with my gtx860m (yes, I tested it with a laptop)
batch size was set around 3k, I believe we can raise it a bit for the final version of the trees later.
gotta get back making the buildings,
Cheers!

Marvellous. What program are you making the track in?I made a test and put some trees in.

Also, latest AC Custom Shaders Mod update added "• Render distance increased to 20 km; • Options for dynamic distance clipping, in graphics_adjustments.ini;" with tracks like this in mind
Beautiful!
whaat I have the same laptop graphics card and only get around 100fps max with no traffic on kunos maps, how do you do that?

wow I did't know that. Thanks for telling me, I'll check it out!
haha well this track is still low on textures and shaders. DIP is still very low. as the track develops, it will eventually drop
So, you will release the version with the trees?
hmmm no, not at the moment. I wish to get the track getting developed some more. maybe when we have better buildings later
and these are just temporary trees anyway.
Those temporary trees might work when looking at them from far away (like in the first shots) but you can really see that they're low detail from the cockpit view. I think it's a good call not to release it this way! However, I'm sure they still add to the fun when test driving the track so I hope they motivate you!
Did you know that Studio-397 is hiring track builders ! ! https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/rf2-september-roadmap-is-here-in-october.160125/
But I hope, you will be able to start one of these days on rFactor 2.
