LOL poor Lada

lol great shots!

so there’s really AI driven traffic driving in the opposite direction? :)

Jos: so there’s really AI driven traffic driving in the opposite direction? :)

I wish there was..

I wouldnt know of a possibility to do that in rfactor.

Surely I first drive few laps there with Lada, Lada is so cool.

Haha, that is awesome!

These pics made my day!

This car would be a blast to drive on that track:

Good thing is there’s a WIP, but who knows will it ever see the light of day:

Oh god no!

That car about to be hit as a family of 5 tiny people inside! What a tragedy.

Wow the track looks great, nice job…

What mod is the red car from? Thanks in advance.

FrozenCandle: What mod is the red car from? Thanks in advance.

It’s from the CSGT World Sportscar 1970 mod.

Unreal, thanks mate.

Hahah nice pics :P

Cool shots 6e66o

Well, you can have moving birds and helicopters in rFactor … just make them fly close above the road and use a car, a carriage, a cow or whatever instead, and there you have the (actually very acurate) “test-day” version of the track with moving obstacles

The birds and helicopters follow a simple circle rotation though.
The cars would have to drive on a very precise path, which i dont think is possible.

Maybe (hopefully) in rfactor 2

It is possible to set up the track so that you have two-way traffic tho. I can think of two tracks which pull this off.

Can’t wait!

Great

I had an idea about the AI in the opposite direction

It’s possible to create multiple paths for a complex paddock.
Using this, maybe it’d be possible to create a paddock path that follows the track, in reverse, put some garage spots next to the start of the path. The cars in those spots should follow the path, and if you have a pitlane speed limit of, say 70 kph, the cars would run at that speed as a normal traffic car would do.

If my laziness leaves me, I may try that later.

Great screens!

@ jpalesi
Even if that would work,
then all ai cars would take that path.

It would only make sense to have the “street cars” go the opposite path,
and the race cars the regular path.

+ no mod has both, street- and racecars anyway..

Too bad … it would cause havoc with the AI (race) cars anyway, but some sort of randomiced placement of obstacles (even non-moving, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference at speed) would still be fun I guess. And I think it really was like that during testing (at least I think Vic Elford says so in the “The Speed Merchants” documentation).

if maybe you put 5-10 lada the end of the track and start them when you start on the way and you meet with them. so they too racing just the different side. maybe in this way possible the traffic. or i don’t know :D

Thats modding-spirit! jpalesi give it a try! It’s those things that move the community forward! Let’s-go!

Great shots! So what phase is this cicuit in at this moment? Any chance of going out in near future? I’m soooooo looking forward to drive an Alfa 33.3 on it…

I’m guessing that a CART or F1 car can break 30 minutes easily (probably even an LMP1 too).

My personal best lap was a 33:45 in the Porsche 908/3 (CSGT),
which is less then 10 sec off the real record from Leo Kinnunen.

But some day i will beat him

Having traffic is pretty fun… it reminds me of the arcade game “Crusin’ USA”. ISI definitely needs to implement this into rfactor 2.

So they really had street traffic during these races? No wonder there were safety concerns!

Not during the race (if you dont count dogs and people crossing the roads),
but during practise days.

6e66o, what about mesh accuracy/lenght : have you tried to compare real track with virtual one? is it good?
For me is really important regarding tracks: i prefer mesh accuracy instead graphic

The Layout is actually very accurate as you can see from this picture:
http://img9.abload.de/img/gefpgq.jpg
It´s the track mesh + google earth terrain.
(the terrain might not be positioned perfectly though)

Now elevations, camber and track width are a different story,
but it looks just fine to me

how did you get the CSGT car against anything else? CSGT’s rfm makes it unusable in all tracks and vehicles.

I manually added the car to the mod.

Any news? Filling in the “holes”, retexturing, bump mapping, AI polishing all going okay?

I understand y’all are eager to drive the track,
but please be patient.

We have to deal with quite some problems,
but proress so far has been quite good.

Still its hard to tell, when we reach a point, where we would like to release it.
