TT Circuit Assen 0.8.2

I bring you the Junior Track!

This track has endless possibilities for layouts. I chose the one recently used during the KNMV event days. Who knows, maybe more configurations may follow.

Also various fixes.


Changelog V0.8.2:

• Added Junior Track;
• Added several off-track asphalt patches (previously gravel);
• Fixed timing for North layout;
• Fixed hotlap position for North layout;
• Added a pitlane bypass for the North layout (AI will still use the regular one);
• Fixed crowds on some layouts;
• Removed second DRS zone;
• Adjusted spectator cam positions;
• Played a bit with world detail. It should increase performance a bit when not running maximum detail settings;
• Added emissives to the TT statue along the highway;
• Added more drain holes and fixed a few exsisting ones;
• Moved the sponsor objects to prevent flickering;
• Increased smoothness on Stekkenwal apex;
• Fixed kerbs/lines at left side of Ruskenhoek exit;
• Revised track limits a bit: added penalty sections on some turns;
• Changed grass colour to better suit the surrounding aerial imagery;
• Added a few extra tree textures;
• Better AI lines thanks to @kevink63 ;
• Various small fixes.

After way too many months, I decided to consider v0.8 to be release-ready. It is now mostly* up to date to 2020-spec regarding track layout. It is now also CSP ready.
Below you'll find a short changelog which is no measure for the time spent to update the track.

Without further ado, here's an onboard:

NOTE: the timing appears to be broken on the North layout. Download and replace the files from the link below.
Included in this hotfix (V0.8.1 coming soon on Race Department):

• Fixed timing on the North layout.
• A fix for those who experience illuminated skies during night time.
• Fixed AI (by @kevink63 ).
• Fixed DRS zones (removed the last zone) (by @kevink63 ).

V0.8 changelog:

• Reworked the complete circuit to match February 2019 height data (aerial LIDAR) and made the mesh much more detailed.

Thanks to @Leonardo Ratafiá for making additional track cameras and reworking some of the AI lines.


There might still be bugs or stuff that simply doesn't work on other systems. Let me know and I'll push an update to fix those soon.

Known bugs:

• Kerbs on the left side of Ruskenhoek apex/exit need fixing.
• AI is a bit... bad. Sometimes
• Ad-free skin is not working correctly. Please delete the files in /ne_ttassen/skins/default/
• Some flickering may occur on some text or billboards.
• DRS causes issues in the last sector.
