Jerez de la Frontera 1.0 – Released

Posted on November 29th, 2009 in rFactor

The Lonely and SLN have released Jerez de la Frontera for rFactor, bringing a modern-day version of the Spanish track to the simulation.

Based on Virtua_LM’s Jerez for F1C, this is just a conversion by name as new textures, shaders, track objects and plenty of other changes have been added, resulting in the high quality these two track makers stand for.

Features:

Conversion with permission from VLM F1C Jerez
Overhauled Textures and Shaders for entire terrain
Remapped all the terrain
Relofted the road for better bumps
Completely new thinking for road shader
Remodelled many objects from scratch
Used Ambient Occlusion on many new objects
Custom skies
Overhauled lighting values

Located in the Sherry-producing region in south Spain, Jerez has hosted a wide variety of motorsport events since the circuit’s opening in 1985. Hosted events include several Formula One Grand Prix as well as an annual MotoGP round.

What a stonking version of this track !

All the textures are nice high res, the track layout is bang on, the scenery too. It’s more or less my local track and I’ve been so I I checked on the places where I’ve say and it’s just as it was :)
Track cams are nice too None of those long distance ones that make the car look tiny all the time.

This is a fine example of how to make a race track for rFactor.
Thanks guys, 5 stars easy.

I’ve been waiting for this track. Nice execution. The only thing I don’t like is the mood/atmosphere – it feels cold :P

Man the textures and lighting on this track are spot on! Graphically this is right up there with Raceking’s suzuka and VLM’s tracks imo. Cant really speak for the layout or track surface but feels nice to drive (and I dont even like the track ). Thanks a bunch!

I finally got around to testing this baby out, and not very surpisingly: Its really good.

Quite possibly the best rFactor track right now – set the ingame time to 6:30PM and just be amazed :)

yeah,, nice conversion…
But heres my gripes, obviously not meant for the masses, the ridiculously laughable use of static shadows on all the trees and stands… is well.. laughable, all it did for me was cause micro pauses.. removes all the static shadows for the trees and stands. works fine, and before the you all say you need a new pc.. your probably right..the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Or you could just turn the shadow setting down.

Alex: Or you could just turn the shadow setting down.

sadly not… you have to turn shadows off.. then you get the silly floating car look without car shadows on..
Even with changing the scn it looks really good anyway.
Alex
December 9th, 2009 at 04:29

Nope you don’t. Shadows on medium keeps static car shadows and removes all track shadows.

I am also owner of a lowned PC, the track plays very laggy, would you pls send me the optimised SCN file on my j.bergmann@seznam.cz email pls? icq/qip contact 259689233. I was unable to manage to delete the static shadows from SCN myself, srry. I am interested in the chicaned modern Jerez layout. is this the only version made for rF or is there any other, less spectacular and less HW-demanding? thanks all

Introduced in 2009, the R15 is Audi’s second Diesel prototype for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
