Varano de’Melegari 1.2 – Released

Posted on November 9th, 2009 in GTR2, rFactor – 24 Comments

Elwood and mad-horse have released a new version of their Varano de’Melegari track for rFactor and GTR2, further improving what already was one of the finest tracks for gMotor 2-based simulations.

The new version brings the track to 2009 spec, including plenty of new 3D objects, new shaders and textures as well as a new short layout.

Changelog:

- Massive updates of all 3D, textures and shaders/shading, all updated to 2009.
- Reduced big meshes with alpha channel used for transparency, less flickering with many mods .
- Fake ambient occlusion on terrain and buildings, using multimapping.
- Added some bumps and little elevation changes we forget to add in previous releases of Varano.
- Added Short layout, mainly used by Centro Internazionale Guida Sicura (CIGS, International Safe and Fast Driving School) .
- Removed the fantasy layout and all non real stuff.
- Removed invisible slowers inside chicane Ickx that caused some problems with cars with low ride-heights.

Also known as the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti, Varano de’Melegari is a 2.374 kilometer permanent road course, primarly used by smaller series and for track day events.
