fn_nurburgring Track Skins\Alternate Config File
Alternative look for the fn_nurburgring track. This mod replaces the default tree textures and alters the look of the grass. The grass textures are the same, but adjusted more to my liking. It also includes optional vaos and a track skin to make the trees look more accurate for the season. If you want to use the Seasonal Trees, I highly recommend you enable the Trees A2C dither option under CSP\Track Adjustments. If you don't, the trees may appear really transparent in the fall\winter and spring. BTW, the spring trees suck right now. I'm working on it.
I split the download into two files because the optional stuff is quite large. I didn't want to make someone who is not interested in the optional stuff have to download such a large file. If you want things to look like my attached pictures, download both files.
Lastly, because most of the layouts won't load for me since it gets stuck loading the AI Spline, I don't know how this will look on all of the layouts. If it screws them up, just delete the mod and stick with the original track.

Notes:
-- Backup your existing track folder first to be safe.
-- The replacement ext_config file adds some things I like and changes some things I didn't like. Everything I added\altered is in the ADDTITIONS section at the bottom so you can adjust or remove what you don't like. I did include the original ext_config so you can easily revert back to it.
-- There are 4 Grass skins. Enable either the Grass or Grass 2 skin. The only difference between them is Grass 2 has a little more vibrant green color. Couldn't decide which I liked better. The two Patchy Exterior Grass skins are optional and will make the exterior grass areas have a little more character and get progressively more patchy looking. Either one can be used in combination with either Grass or Grass 2 skin.
-- The Trees skin changes the default tree textures. The Road skin takes the purple tint out of the groove and skid mark textures.
-- If you are missing the bushes like I was, somewhere in the ADDITIONS section of the config is the section below. Change the ACTIVE status from 0 to 1 to bring back the bushes.
MATERIALS = bushes?
ACTIVE = 1
SHADER = ksPerPixelAT
PROP_0=ksAmbient, 0.25
PROP_1=ksDiffuse, 0.20
CAST_SHADOWS = 1
-- The vaos in the optional stuff package will eliminate the overly black shadow areas I hate on most vaos. It's a personal preference so you may prefer to skip these.
