Track Ideas, W.I.P. Previews and Teasers v2

[Glen]

I'm testing real flying planes, but it's a little bit difficult, here an example, i'm trying to make a airfild

What do you think about it, useless (because can't turn in the air), funny? or whatever

[Lukeno94]

Useless, because no airfield is that empty.

[Otto Wilson]

Guess the track

Did this yesterday and by today i've worked it up to this state...

PS: I did not gave up on A1 Ring... yet...

[Haruna]

Circuit de Dijon-Prenois, 80's?

[Trigger Happy]

Otto, please, try to make both layouts. BTW wonderful lmap.

[Otto Wilson]

It's Dijon from 1979, to be contemporary to my Interlagos; BTW, this track had something special, maybe it was the Villeneuve vs Arnoux, i dunno, but it's just great

Ivo: it's ready for the short layout now... maybe... this layout was last used on F1 in 1974, the hairpin was there in 1974 too?

[Sartalas]

lulz , I took it to Dijon-Prenois, and with two weeks ago, about, Well, I have another duel, let's see how it goes

[Trigger Happy]

Nice, a modern and a historic version at same time.

@ Otto: look on description here.

@ sartalas: don't forget on good hmap, please.

[Otto Wilson]

I must say, that this track, Dijon-Prenois, have the most weird layout i've seen, drives very strangely too, at least on sim racing

[Otto Wilson]

99% done i think, but i feel the AI could be faster, could anyone kindly test the track, or, even better, make a new AI line for me?

Hmmm, how it looks?

[Steelronin]

Ohhh Pwetty
Love the layout

[Scorpion]

@ Areen, like usually totally great
@ Sartalas, I can't wait

[Trigger Happy]

@ Areen: keep it simple, try rather only one pit lane (the upper one) to have more space for true street feeling.

[Bouncebackability]

Absolutely trigger happy, this track has no need for two

Preview of my next work, using an Lmap by Qurpiz from the abandoned WIP thread.

[Scorpion]

Good but third gravel runoff have got strange shape.

I need help, how look in your opinion lake near motorway?

[MidnightRunner]

how does it looks?

[TuomoH]

how does it looks?

Otherwise good but why are the armcos right next to the track? Since it's a [cir] there should be some space to go outside the track as well.

[Niko K]

Pretty much going to work on the AI line next already, but here's a preview of my newest.

[YoNnie]

Very cool track, Niko K! I'd rather not have to attach what is overall well made.

[Otto Wilson]

Niko K, this is terrific

but there is two things here that somehow bugs me:
First, those cones on the pit entry, cars could get stuck behind them, at least this will not happen if you use moveable cones, and you could use less cones, it may even looks better

Second, the runoffs, they are 'bleeding' on the track, not a problem, but everything else looks so clean, you could separate it from the track with just two pixels of grass i think, you could use dirt too, it will not bleed and it mix well with sand

I use it in similar matter, not sure why Niko, but I personally think static cone is pretty good safety piece preventing from damage, when you or AI is bushed in full speed into the wall head-on.

Second, the runoffs, they are 'bleeding' on the track, not a problem, but everything else looks so clean, you could separate it from the track with just two pixels of grass i think, you could use dirt too, it will not bleed and it mix well with sand

They are so huge, that a grass stripe and some slightly more complex texture (bit of border dust?) may make it less heavy.

[Otto Wilson]

I would back off that concrete wall and put a static cone here... but on the outside, well... everything is so safe on the outside already, yet, you can only hit hay bales and hedges, which none do damage.

[Niko K]

Good input guys, I'll work on the sand runoffs to make them look more clean and put a few pixels of gap between them and the track itself. There's some gravel texture in them already but maybe I need to use another surface to add more contrast.

I'll think about the cones too, since you have a valid point, but so far the cones haven't caused any problems in AI testing.
