The problem is, converting a track from GTR2, rF or rF2 to AC is done in no time.. but trying to make it look like an AC track.. is a lot of work. For example: the wooden railroad blocks at the side of the tarmac in Crystal Palace are all perfectly straight in rF2, just like a concrete wall. This looks very unnatural . But it's really a lot of work by hand, you have to get out all the holes and double meshes before you can apply a noise to make it look more irregular... just an example
But since covid-19 has robbed me of all my January gigs, I know what to do

Ah, I see what you mean - although if you didn't point this out, I'd have simply assumed those are straight concrete blocks. (And even I - a very detail-oriented person - wouldn't have noticed neither driving nor on replay lol.) But I can imagine there are many other examples, as you've said.
It does look great already though, even without the trees - obviously much better than the existing version. (Which is crap.)

On the cars/tracks topic, I guess I'm much less of a fanatic lol! (Though I only started posting actively only a couple of months ago.) I have a personal "top 70" best/most challenging/most fun track list of mine and looking to complete that collection in AC with ACC providing sometimes even better versions too. (E.g. Kyalami, Donington) It did start out as a top 50, so I did find many gems here, but overall I only have a meagre 110 tracks in AC - I'm VERY picky, so usually LiDAR-only, or it has to be VERY accurate. I have a keen eye (photography, drawing as teenage hobbies) so I can tell if they are, based on IRL onboards. With historical tracks I'm a bit more lenient (they're harder to do accurately), so e.g. Österreichring backstraight flatness issue is OK, but the W.I.P. Mont Tremblant '69 on AssettoCorsaMods is not. But I'm happy that 90% of the list is now in AC as I don't like the other sims (rF2, AMS, R3E) that much for different reasons and they only have a couple of tracks each that are still missing from AC.
And I'm really afraid of the car mods, because I can't tell if they're physically well-modelled - I know some of the most well-known mods are accurate, e.g. the IER or some of the EGT cars, but I just really can't tell (I don't even know if the ACC conversions were ported well), and don't want to drive low quality mods. So much easier with tracks, where you can just... "see" if it's accurately simulated or not.
