Jesus dude, just stop. OK then, how much are you paying these "employees"? Oh you're not? Than those are not employees. Those are volunteers with benefits.
You should be out of business. You've scammed so many people with your 'special access' bologna.

Your game of deceit goes like this-
* Everyone sends money up front first, we will give you 6 months of 'special access' to betas and garbage while we keep assuring you that they are the special ones that will get some worthless newsletter and keep being assured tracks will finish - when we get more money
* Never finish any of it, blaming and making excesses left and right until your blue in the face of people stealing work, PC's breaking down, 'restructuring' - or as you say above, SEND MORE MONEY or were going under. The AC community knows of your shaddy and straight up scam like tactics, hence, why nobody's buying your silly "laserscanned Transfagarasan".

You deserve to go under.
So are you going to refund all those people that foolishly sent you money then? Of course your not. You are doing exactly what a kickstarter does - you just have a phony way of hiding it.

I adapted the skins sent by @Fanapryde and I am currently adding some fixes and tweaks but I think I will release the pack soon with also this nev livery from today.

Edit. I probably made a mistake I will fix soon since on this livery the number should be 66, not 666 which was on this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Stokell-lambo.jpg

This perfectly underscores my point above. Hogwash...

A couple of ill informed people will send in money, when September comes and everyone wants their track, Konrad will say we need more money, therefore its delayed until December. When December comes and its not done, he will make up some horse dung excuse that a couple of his 'employees' left and its put on hold. I've seen this countless times.

This is exactly as I described above and why the few left that don't know of simtraxxs' practices, should know.
This is all 100% of his entire modus operandi.

What happened to the money that people already sent into him and why is more now needed? He'll have some convoluted answer, I'm positive.
Or what about all the other numerous tracks that are still in beta, why aren't they done? He needs more money.

 

[Ruhisu]

@bmw35

Roger that.
Do you have any more photos of this team or maybe their name? This will help me to view how the car looks from the back and top.

Too bad there is no Diablo SV-R mod for AC since I would like my skins to be accurate to the model they were used on. Some will Say that I can try working on the Diablo SV or Jota mod but they are strictly road spec without the SV-R rear wing.

Ok, I see that Your theories might make sense if You look at it from Your perspective. From my perspective is that we just want to create lots of tracks with high quality but people are not paying. We GET 2000 EUR monthly from sales. We cannot invest 2 million dollars or more first to do tracks with AAA quality and then count to sell it like bigger companies. We are poor sim racing guys who want to create tracks, so we need support of people who can afford to support us and wait until we become bigger company. All the tracks are driveable and much fun already. Some of them are not getting updates because there is no budget on them as there is little interest in the location. If anyone asked to get a refund they would get it, we would also offer some other track. Everyone who ever writes to us is always cared by me and in most cases there isnt any problems. Sometimes our system wasnt getting some emails due to spam filters, also some emails were not delivered due to ISP of the person receiving. Why cant You understand that running a legal business selling tracks is not a walk in the park. You want me to send proof of payments for SIM TRAXX employees? I assure they are getting paid. cost of each one of them with taxes and social insurance is around 2300 EUR monthly. Good that we still have lots of private projects from private companies so we can pay our costs. But for the public sector we need more support in advance. Do You know that we need at least 50 000 EUR including laserscanning 1cm and air drone photogrammetry, 3d modelling and export to several simulations + martketing to do 35 km laserscanned Transfagarasan. Do You still think that with 2000 EUR monthly sales we can pull this off ? You keep accusing me of scams but I didnt take a penny out of it yet, I am close to selling my apartment to keep SIM TRAXX running and to deliver on promises and You tell me I took money and didnt do work ? What money? 24000 EUR yearly minus TAX???? that covers only 1 person working every day! Well then I took private loans to finance it because there wasnt enough funding from people. I put, everything on SIM TRAXX to bring newest solutions and most accurate roads. Sure we made alot of mistakes but we never leave anyone to be disatisfied if they come to us.

Oh jeez... how much does the full AC game cost to justify such a price for one track ?!? ...and still asking for more ????

come back to earth mate (simtraxx).
even if you deliver ...ah, better i say nothing...

good luck !

Does full AC game has 35 km laserscanned (1cm) Transfagarasan? Do You know how much it costs? Some 60 000 EUR to create it (30 0000 EUR laserscanning) Does SIM TRAXX have money like Kunos to advertise to huge amount of people ? Do we have big sales? No, so we need to estimate that we need at least 5000 sales after tax to earn on it. Sure we can try to sell it for 10 EUR but will we get 10000 sales? This is pre-order, if we get enough budget then the price might go down later.

You have sales data that not many other people have. Out of curiosity, 5000 units sold is realistic for that track based on your experience? Are you on schedule to release stage 1 in September?

Heres were your cover gets blown. You are really saying, you, you paid (US) $33,536.00 to have this scanning done? Really?

How much then did you pay for Portland and Salem to be scanned? (careful with your answer).

 

[ST KonRad]

It is realistic if more people understand that without support we will not be able to make high accuracy and high quality tracks .
Also we plan to sell it not only for AC but for most other sims and perhaps even create our own in UE4. We also have some sponsors mainly from Romania asking for prices of banners. We just hope we can pull this off. We are currently changing plans abit, and the first stage will be the most known part of track. We wanted to do stage by stage going from down to the tunnel and then through the tunnel to south side. But looking at numbers and resources needed to do this we need to start with the central most interesting part + the tunnel. We hope we can show the quality and accuracy to people so we can then build the other parts. The quality will be even higher than our newest project PROVENCE ALPS and the laserscan accuracy is comparable to Nordschleife. This will be a state of the art track, just needs some more budget.

Below just a few screenshots of our newest high quality modelling on different tracks.
Transfagarasan will have the best quality possible in AC. And we are not talking here about some small circuits that Lil-Ski or other modders do in their free time for years. We are talking here about 35km track in the mountains- thats a different level of amount of work.

Heres were your cover gets blown. You are really saying, you, you paid (US) $33,536.00 to have this scanning done? Really?

How much then did you pay for Portland and Salem to be scanned? (careful with your answer).

Salem and Portland are done from aerial laserscanned data available for free on internet sources, but of course they are much less accurate (around 30-50cm) . But creating a track from laserscanned (aerial or ground) is not easy. Few people can properly process the data and prepare for modelling works. One of them is SIM TRAXX Silvio but even he cannot do everything alone, especially if we need to classify millions of points to be able to separate surface for driving from rest of the scan and trees also separately for planting high poly trees that look like real ones. It also takes time to model the track and export and also Salem didnt even sell once yet. I will not be showing invoices here for Transfagararasan but it was around 30 000 EUR (it was paid in polish currency, some 120 000 zloty - PLN ) for 1 week of laserscanning on site and then 2 months of processing more than 1 billion of points. Transfagarasan and Magnolia are our 2 tracks that are done with ground laserscanning by highly specialised company and the scan has 1-2 cm accuracy and its totally different story than with the older tracks. Just take a look at pictures. I used mostly money out of my own pocket and from loan to hire this company GISPRO (http://gispro.pl) Their car is visible on one of the pictures with big laserscanner inside the car. There is also a video on our fb page.

 

[Clubber_Lang]

The problem is financing... You know that SIM TRAXX was only me for years? Yes only one person doing all of it. Only 2 years ago SIM TRAXX Silvio joined and then SIM TRAXX Chris B joined. Now we have also SIM TRAXX Jan, SIM TRAXX Maya and SIM TRAXX Zeratul but we are still a tiny company with tiny budget doing impossible amount of work and being underfinanced. We get 2000 EUR monthly before tax from sales then how are we suppose to compete with big companies. Sure big companies have lower prices but they have millions USD for promotion to reach hundreds of thousands of people and abit bigger market so they can have lower prices. I have invested 100 000 EUR mostly from loans and from people who support us so far in SIM TRAXX and I didnt even go even on this because there are monthly people and bills to pay. If we lower prices then we lose even more with paypal fees. If we tried to sell a track for 2 EUR then we get some 40 cents after VAT and income tax and after paypal fees...

You must understand that we are creating top content when there is top payment. So private companies give us decent budgets then we do decent content. Thats why we are mostly in early access with public projects because we have no money to finish public projects because people are downloading it on day 1 for free from different sites. So if You dont mind then if we dont get proper money for proper work on Transfagarasan laserscanned soon then we will be simply out of business including all people working here. Thats good news for some I guess.

Look man , just a word of advice , from a self employed business owner myself. If you took the time to finish the tracks to their very best , and then sold them , with updates coming here and there with user input.........you would build a fan base that would stick with you! Uploading and selling a beta is fine and dandy , but you can't sell " beta's "........and then never finish them! THAT......is what ruins a company!

Instead of working on 60 tracks , why not try finishing ( completely ) 5 - 10 tracks? Make your customer's happy and gain a fan base! In my line of work , I finish the product as good or better than expected , always! I tell my customer's I will fix it a 100 times if I have to , to make sure they are happy.

I'm a very small business , and I've kept it that way too. But the damnd for my work is way beyond what I can physically do. I never leave a customer unhappy. If you put out tons of half-assed , non-completed work , all that does is give you a bad name. And then guess what happens?

If you are going to sell something with a promise that " it'll be completed in time after testing " , and you follow through with that , your customer's will keep returning. If you don't?.........Well , good luck!

In the gaming industry this kind of thing is the standard though. I mean slightly mad studios have gone from strength to strength and they left PCars 1 unfinished...hell they left shift 2 unfinished.........
I pick SMS out there but man they aren't the only ones....
Look at the amount of early access games that take money then never finish... dovetails flight sim world to name but one.
The 'gamers' still come back for more over and over again..

SIMTRAXX seem to have a flawed business plan, you should not be selling your home to keep on making tracks for a game that is, lets be fair here disbanded by it's devs.

Genuinely STKonrad if what you say is true stop borrowing money, don't end up homeless. I think you need a new business model.

 

[Ruhisu]

A question to Our talented car modders. Do you happen to plan making a Lamborghini Diablo Sv-r https://images.app.goo.gl/KtzS8Era1kxv4prWA for AC some day? Unfortunately I Don't have any knowledge and skills in 3d modding and I thought about that car while creating liveries for the Diablo GTR, but when we think about it realistic, those liveries are in real life for the SV-R.

Hes still begging for money. Its all a smoke screen to send more money. Here's even a reply yesterday on a free track from him.
If anyone honestly believes he spent $33,536.00 US money to have laser scanning done, you need to look in the mirror and ponder buying that ocean front property right on the Mojave Desert . He's a con man.

Heres the reply from the free track, yesterday.

We are still abit underfinanced and sometimes not everything is perfect.

A BS answer - the same answers he gives to those that are foolish enough to give him money, or any other number of excuses he pulls from his helmet.

Hi, just wanted to say thank you to all the contributors on this thread, between here, racedepartment and a few facebook groups I've been able to slowly build my perfect racing game. As someone who bought AC when it was in early access and then pretty much forgot it existed until a few months ago, it's pretty incredible that there's such a large community making so much content for a 6 year old game.

Two questions for people that have been at this a lot longer than me and that I've been unable to find out through searching:

1) Does anyone know of a couple of good sound mods for old high revving US V8 engines? There's a lot of mods like the Trans-Am cars, 70s NASCAR and several 60s/70s era US/OZ racing cars that would benefit from a bit more variety in the sound department. I have a Lola T70 Mk3 sound mod that works for a few, but the rev limiter is still at 7,500rpm, otherwise I'm stuck just copy pasting the same engine note from the AC Legends 67 Corvette for everything (mostly overwriting the terrible fitting Maserati GT4 sound).

2) After seeing that Panoz GTR1 posted a few pages back (thanks btw), it reminded me of another rare GT car from that era, the Callaway C12, anyone know of anything in the works for this car? Always loved the shape of it in the GT games.

No I just tell people the truth that we are underfinanced, and they can decide if they want to support us or not. Do You want to see my bank account, I have 500 eur, probably less than You. I am Konrad not conman. Besides whats the point in talking, You believe Your theory and thats fine, but when You are falsely accusing and defamating publicly SIM TRAXX, thats unacceptable and can end up in court one day. I am out talking to You because it doesnt make sense. Perhaps You will believe when You see laserscanned transfagarasan and you will feel each hole and irregularity on the road then You will know its 1cm laserscanned.

Genuinely STKonrad if what you say is true stop borrowing money, don't end up homeless. I think you need a new business model.

That is why we paused doing updates on many tracks for some time to focus on tracks that are most interesting for everybody.
We will soon update the best selling tracks and the ones which development is pausef are still great fun especially in VR.
Perhaps our business plan was flawed, we are fixing it and want to release few tracks but with highest quality, but will they sell then?
People want highest quality from a small underfinanced studio that focuses mostly on simulation aspects not the visual look...
We will try to give best content this time and at least cover our costs with sales but I am worried the quality doesnt count here, it will still be pirated in some days and the money will be scarce. I just count on sponsors and true fans who know that in fact its them who build SIM TRAXX with their money.
When SIM TRAXX gets bigger then these people will have a special place in SIM TRAXX credits and some that support us the most will receive also option to meet me and drive with SIM TRAXX team online in our place on motion simulators at some point if we ever get them.
Anyway I am here from passion, SIM TRAXX is my life and work on it almost every day. I can live with selling the house, investing more to fix SIM TRAXX and then perhaps re-buy the house if we deliver good stuff for the people.

I was interested in your Targa Florio cause i saw some videos online and It looked very promising but two years passed and no news about this track emerged
This is why i never face Money to you

In my opinion, your problem is in narrow specialization, your tracks for rally (rally, hillclimb, etc.). Rally racing is much harder than racing on the track for both the driver and the car. Many simulator users do not like this. That's where your underfunding is!

 

[gladbecker82]

Maybe cause the prices are not justifiable right now? 20$, ok, if you can afford it. But 40$ Plus just doesnt do it.

 

[gstaraz]

Does anyone know of a couple of good sound mods for old high revving US V8 engines?...

...There's a lot of mods like the Trans-Am cars, 70s NASCAR

I am making a kind of fictional "NASCAR '70/moonshine rebels series" mod that is practically ready... just testing each car now and tuning the AI, but it is taking some time, since there are more than 20 types of cars .
Have some more patience and you will be able to pick some sounds from there.

You saying there is a trans-AM, 70s NASCAR mod... would you be a bit more specific about the nascar '70 please ? I were not able to find one, hence why I started building one a few months ago.

Cheers.
