Thank you for the reply and the extremely helpful link which gives me a reference point.
I will have a look through that initially and hopefully that will help me narrow down my thought process. It's just kind of overwhelming in that the list of mods is soooo long it makes it hard to see the wood for the trees and i dont want to waste time on poor quality mods or ones that dont work properly with CM anymore.
I will start checking out the traxion mods first - I'm not sure but if you can order tracks by "likes" or something like that on traxion, that would at least avoid the worst quality mods.
i think I'm probably looking into real circuits (as they will be familiar from other games) and road layouts which are good for cruising on (i remember there is a great Project Cars road "California Highway"?) to start with.
(Catalunya will be an obvious one as i was there last year for the grand prix.)
I have found Mid-Field Raceway, thanks. And I will look for Dragon Trail as I really like that track (even with the Chicane of Death).
I have also found a version of Transfagarasan which I used to drive on rfactor, although that looks to be an old mod.
As for vehicles, I will be looking for classics for cruising with (I remember having a Thunderbird long ago on my old laptop and an old station wagon) and more modern vehicles for track racing.
My focus is on finding good tracks first though, once I have a decent track list I can then find cars that suit the tracks.
I will start with Breathe's track list related to traxion mods first and go from there.
Thanks to both of you.
I need to restart my YT vids too. Here's a blast from the past...
PS Does FRAPS still exist? No doubt there's a much better recording method these days!
. Upload & last updated date may give you a little hit as to whether the car may have "new" CSP goodies (Extended phsyics etc). Plenty of good cars that are a few years old+, but just something to look at when browsing imho
you should adjust the drivers position manually through CM
Tried that and, sure, I can move the driver's position, but the original position showed in Showroom (shows the correct one, but it isn't) is not equivalent to the original position showed in the game (outside head), so I would have to adjust the position many times and slowly, until I get the correct one (will be the Hell). How do you activate free camera in Showroom? I can only move around the car.
looks very good

If that's the SIMTRAXX version you're looking at, there's a more recent version by a fella on Overtake:

Don't know about accurate, but I certainly enjoy this one more.
I'm guessing, rolling back removes that option which is what is causing the issue. I can only comment on what works for me. With 2.11/12 whatever it is (not by my computer), the reflections and shadows are frankly, ******. So out of curiosity I rolled it back and, hey presto, everything came back. It seems to be able to render the images much faster too. So that's what I do every time I need decent preview(s) generated. Not ideal but it does the job, like I said, sorry to hear it didn't help you out.
Maybe you turned the saturation down?!

as far as I know the CSP preview function came after the .179
This is complete nonsense. I've tried everything I could think of, but I couldn't do it. I didn't change anything. The track that worked one race ago stopped working 5 minutes later. This is so frustrating. The worst part is it doesn't give an error message. Just this screen... ugh.
If looking in the star list ranking with @gutbomb 2D-festival Brno 1965 at a 4.5 star and faulty @Ginot team Pau 1967 as an 4.5 star track, I do not think this ranking is real star of quality.At Overtake you can use a filter and sort the tracks by user rating. The first 60 tracks are all well made and must have tracks.
And don't miss the fictional tracks by doublezero. They are all master pieces, especially the last one "Kameno 1970-71".

Don't forget rf / gtr2 ports with 5* with worse performance than scratch-made modern tracks lolIf looking in the star list ranking with @gutbomb 2D-festival Brno 1965 at a 4.5 star and faulty @Ginot team Pau 1967 as an 4.5 star track, I do not think this ranking is real star of quality.
Thank you so much again. The mod is the next one (there are 5 cars, only works properly normal holden and nissan):
Did you check the list? These 60 tracks have more than hundred ratings and if only one rating is 4 stars, you will only see a 4.5 star rating for the track, even if it has a 99% rating overall. I know all of these tracks and have driven them and they are all very good.If looking in the star list ranking with @gutbomb 2D-festival Brno 1965 at a 4.5 star and faulty @Ginot team Pau 1967 as an 4.5 star track, I do not think this ranking is real star of quality.
THANK YOU @Peter Boese
I did drive every track from 1970 and earlier.
I understand what you mean and I know the tracks, but Brno’67 from @Gitbomb, Pau’67 from @Ginot team aren't in the list of the first 60 tracks. I only said, that the first 60 tracks of this list are all well known and well done tracks. That's all. The 4.5 stars for all the tracks is nonsense of course, but the sorting of the list is done by the number of reviews and the percentage and not the stars you see for the tracks.
You can sort overtake by most downloaded, top reviewed etc. I think most of us here have at spent at least an evening or two going through that list
Of course everyone has their own preferences and likes when it comes to tracks, but if you want somewhere to "start" with, this is a small list of modders whos tracks (mostly race tracks) I drive a lot and can usually expect a quality "product". Most of them have at least 3-5 tracks if not 10+ I apologize in advance if miscatorgirized anyone on it.
Scratch Built
- Lilski
- Sergio Loro
- JohnR
- Fat Alfie
- Gunnar333
- Todd K (Not race tracks, but has some interesting track mods on overtake that use photogrammerty to build the track, which gives it a very unique & lifelike feel)
Conversions from other games
- Reboot Team
- Rainmaker
- Shin956
- 13x (NASCAR focused)
- RMI
- Gabenhood (Dirt Rally Conversions - Great Pikes Peak)
- Terra21
- Legion
- ACU
Neither
Another great resource I used along the way was GutBomb's Multiple Track Review list (I think this is the "most recent" version). For many tracks that have multiple versions this gives you a run down on what each brings to the table. Not all encompassing for some newer tracks, but super helpful nonetheless.

As far as screen recording goes, I use the built in windows recording with the win+alt+R keyboard shortcut. But it's more for shorter clips, haven't done long recordings on it.

My last task was to find version 1.01 of the track. This older version works with the track. However, I can't load the track in versions 1.2 and 1.3. I still haven't figured out what's causing this.
