I need some help to improve a grid of gutter tier racing, which i find to be really fun :
I added a new fastlane that seem to work fine (the original one was way too slow), only for the long layout.
As for the track itself, it needs a huge update : RainfX, grassFX, a whole vegetation color grading remaster maybe (
@Rainmaker87 and
@racinjoe013 maybe? Pleeeeaaaaase😅?).
Of course i would love a new road mesh or at least some road texture, dirt on the road sides, and some more scenery, but i found the layout to be very satisfying.
Of course it should be thinner as well, as seen on this vid :
The car links are in the vid description in case, but i've found a few issues with some cars.
The Mercedes W194 has a weird glitch in its mirrors, and the tyre model/Physics could be a little less forgiving (it's on rails atm, so nothing really interresting apart from a grid filler). As well some new liveries could help.
The Corvette C1 is just perfect against the 356, going faster in straight and loosing pace on corners, and also burning tyres as fast as the Porsche.
I added an AI version and a BOP version for the Porsche, just for it to follow the grid.
The TCL (MG-MGA and Jaguar) cars are still way too fast for the Porsche, but it's an easy fix to make them slower, and i don't mind running on the edge for a few laps to finally reach them.
The Speedster from
@alexlockout has been taken down for some reason, Alex, if you have a spare link maybe? It's a great car, faster than the 1600GS, and challenging to race against.
On the other end,
@Olaf Huelse posted its Sauerlandring track here and on RD a few weeks ago, and i wonder if you guys could reach him out to help him get the scenery better. I personnally love the layout (i can't believe there's a working AI fastlane), combined with some early 70s drifters it's a very unique experience (
@Alguecool's gen2 Fairlady was made for it)
I'm guessing some better 2D elements, better 2D trees, bushes, GrassFX and materials/shaders and stuff could help. I heard Olaf was very enthusiastic, and since he has an account on GTplanet, he would probably be very open minded about getting new ideas and hints?
To get back on the Fairlady gen2, some 70s GrpC ATCC cars are a good start for opponents, the Kunos Escort and Pessio's GTAM are quite challenging as well, but i can't really find a good Datsun 432 or 240Z or other japanese vintage cars to run against it. If you have any ideas, i'm taking it.
And finally, i gave another try at the Usual Suspects Dundrod and the AI Fastlane seems to be broken. There's another AI fastlane in the folder, but it needs rework on the sidelines? Is there any newer version available?
Anyway thanks for the update this cars are amazing
