Tracks Thruxton 1990s 1.02

James Skinner submitted a new resource:

Thruxton 1990s - The UK's fastest circuit recreated as it was in the height of the BTCC era

I’m pleased to release the 90s version of my Thruxton track, replicated as it was (arguably) at the height of the BTCC touring car era. I had initially planned to do this as a layout / skin combo, however, so much has changed that it was simpler to do a complete reworking. It’s now been 10 years since I started the original Thruxton and having done a complete Lidar scan reworking of that in 2020, this new ‘historic’ version means I’ve had something of an epic journey with this track mod...

Can we get Croft like Tyre stacks at the Chicane for this version?

 

[James Skinner]

I've avoided putting them there as they weren't there at the time in all the reference photos I collected. There is a penalty for cutting too much, however if there are issues with people gaining an unfair advantage in online races I will consider adding them as I did with the original Thruxton track...

You did? I've not seen the original with tyre stacks Could you please send me a link for that?

Thanks mate, Massively appreciate it! Working on a 2010-19 BTCC pack so this helps!

Very nice indeed. Love the "standard" Thruxton, so a classic version is just great, many thanks.

Just minor question: pics below, is that normal or a (new) csp bug? (CSP 0.2.0/Sol 2.2.9 here).

A small question regarding your excellent Thruxton 90s.
After driving some time, there is a extreme flickering/flashing, mostly on the gras textures.
I read from antoher user on the reviews, that has the same problem.
Otherwise: Perfect!

Let me take a look - might be an incorrect transparency value on the kerb rubber texture, thanks for flagging!

This is very strange - never noticed this in many many miles of testing, mostly in VR. Possibly a CSP Grass FX issue so would be good to know your settings - but it gets quite hard to troubleshoot with the sheer number of combinations CSP can give!

I´ll give it a try and report back with grass fx disabled. Well will see. ;-)

Thanks - would be good to know if it also happens in 'Overcast' setting too!

Did some test laps with grass fx disabled, and there has no more flickering happend.

Okay great, thanks - obviously don’t want people to have to switch it off as it looks better on, but I might now have an idea on how to fix it, hope to get an update out by the end of the week…

Thanks for the temporary fix - this was a silly mistake on my part, it's already fixed but noticed a couple of other bugs in the process so should get a new version out later this week...

Has there been any more updates / fixes for the flashing textures? I absolutely love this track . Such outstanding work. I am using the latest PURE and CSP paid versions. I'm running default settings other than triple monitor settings. Thank you for any assistance with this. Much appreciated !
