[Photo] Which track is this? CES2012

[FelipeMartins]

i just saw on my country news site, a article about technologies (TVs to be more specific) in tis and found a photo with a tv playing gran truism and i saw a strange track

anybody?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Umm, photo? Video?

That picture is Trial Mountain. I have no idea what that map is.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

A Variation on Trail Mountain. Same Place, but the Track Layout (see map) is different.

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Interesting that it shows Trail Mountain but the map is completely different.

 

[Blitz24]

Nope, that's Trial Mountain with a rotating map.

There is no change that I can see other than the map is not static but dynamic (moves as you move).

 

[play3man]

In left is a bridge??

 

[Blitz24]

The line that is appearing is a reflection of some sort, which makes it look like the map is distorted. The picture is of Trial Mountain before the pit-in (where there is normally a bridge).

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

Nope, that's Trial Mountain with a rotating map.

There is no change that I can see other than the map is not static but dynamic (moves as you move).

It looks to me like the map figure-8s, though.

Trial Mountain's bridges have a dip in their upper edges and where are the grandstands? My first instinct was Trial Mountain, but it still felt odd, even before I looked at the map.

Perhaps it's some kind of bug or a streaming / missing geometry error.

 

[JRayWRX]

Its trial mountain. Reason it looks weird, I think, is because it is in Simulview, you are seeing two different images.

EDIT: Reason I know this, is because I have that display, simulview "flickers" two images. Just catching in between the images.

 

[Blitz24]

It looks to me like it figure-8s, though.

Then it might be a display issue. Either way this is certain:
A) It is Trial Mountain and in the prior post I have given the location on track.
B) The map display is rotating and not static.
C) Only a partial amount of the map is displayed and that "line" is clearly not a part of the track.

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

Yeah, there's no doubt the picture is Trial Mountain. But the map... maybe an early variation?

 

[LancerEvo7]

The map's odd, but that looks like Trial Mountain to me.

 

[Milldrum]

It does look like Trial Mountain. Maybe an adaptation of the background into another track? Can someone post a picture of Trial mountain from the same view. Then we can compare.

Excuse my ignorance, where was this taken?

 

[JRayWRX]

Read my post above, guys. It is the 3D display. Its in Simulview.

 

[Evolvedsoul]

what a conveniently placed reflection line..

 

[Milldrum]

If that is the bridge, the pits are on the wrong side aren't they?

 

[amar212]

Simulview, 100%.

That is Sony's unique 2x3D TV with Simulview enabled.

[Griffith500]

Well, it was a fun ten minutes!

 

[Blitz24]

If that is the bridge, the pits are on the wrong side aren't they?

No, that's exactly where the pits are supposed to be. There are 3 bridges on the start/finish side of Trial Mountain. One is right before the pits, the 2nd is at the beginning of the final straight and the third is just after that.

 

[NotSoSilentBob]

Map looks like Midfield raceway but the actual driving screen looks Trial Mt.

 

[shirakawaa]

Interesting, although it's probably an optical illusion.
The variation would have looked something like this:

I think there is no illusion, hope not 👍

 

[Blitz24]

I think there is no illusion, hope not 👍

I'd then want my money back for PD destroying the mountainside with a road and not informing me or the misplaced animals of the construction.

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

Maybe Nessie got pissed and destroyed the original track.

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Read my post above, guys. It is the 3D display. Its in Simulview.

Lol, well that would explain it.

 

[Suzumiya]

Yup, it's that simulview thingymajig.

 

[ralph89]

It looks like the trial mountain got folded....

Try unfolding the map and it is trial mountain.
