Very nice idea, Scorpion. And very nice track, too. 4,5/5

[Scorpion]

What is wrong?

Thanks for comment.

[DuklaLiberec]

Actually nothing, I'm waiting for another version of it.

[MattyG]

Looks really good, i was waiting for you to release this, it looked promising in the teasers/W.i.p thread good job

maybe some hills in the background would of looked a little better IMO...

[Scorpion]

Some hills? Maybe I make.
Thanks MattyG for comment.

Looks good apart from on the 2nd turn there is a sunk tyre on the road

its only a minor thing though

[JoBi]

very cool 2nd layout, hope your next circuit will be as wonderful as your first and second

[Trigger Happy]

Try to avoid using apostrophe in names of attachments, from a reason the part of name in front of it disappears. Sorry for inconvenience, it's a phpbb bug, known, but still unsolved.

Then I'm not sure, if they had similar cones in those days (maybe wooden?) and on other hand I'd love to see there more hay bales (in front of crowds).

I've seen nicer booth/boat trucks.

The 1942 version is bit better, but year is wrong, in those days they had other things to do on airports all around the world than demolishing runways and racing there, 1945-50 would fit better (time of abandoning airbases after WWII).

The lake could look better with bit higher water level, the high grassy bank is not very nice now. And all the back part would need some hmap (like Matty said) or few buildings or trees to make it more plastic, it's too much open everywhere. I remember one rule of Japanese gardening, how to make lakes with beautiful views - ''When you walk around, there must be no place, from where the whole surface of the lake would be visible at one time.'' In GR it's same, put some trees or buildings to cover view in some parts on the gravel or tarmac roads in top (not much, just few %) and it will be much better. Same with the houses/path in bottom.

[XYY]

Also, if this should be an abadoned airfield (the '42) there should still be some more tarmac visible from the old track surface - maybe even everything's left...

I changed year

Runways was totally demolished, because peoples don't liked a noise of an airplanes.

PS. Next double post

[Areen]

Actually looks good but I have few remarks about '50 version:
- kerbs are strange but have something special and fit very well to the track,
- I don't like cars if I can name it cars - it looks so strange
- Lights on the street? I think it's too modern for '50s...

I'm waiting for your next work

i dont know if it's just me, but i would say each of the last three have been a decade too early, 50s looks like 60's, 60's like 70's and the 70's like 80's. sadly i dont like the latest one, the carpark is too OTT and a lot of the feel of the atmosphere in previous versions which i did like have been lost. Also a tip with those boat/trucks, rotate the boat the other way so the rear of the boat is visible as the front of the truck

[DuklaLiberec]

And the fourth turn at the '73 track is IMo a bit too edgy. But I like your tracks anyway, keep going.

[Scorpion]

Thanks for comments BBA and Bob Barker.
