AMS Modding - Tracks (Work in progress)

[fortyfivekev]

you guys should not forget that even a "simulation" is still just a game i think some real values are not really needed in a game... a physic should be close to real for sure but things like different engine power because of different track height or air temperature are a bit too off...

I agree with you that to add these things to our sims today would be a bit pointless when big features like dynamic weather and day/night transitions are still missing from some sims. Having said that though track elevation and air density would (I think) be fairly static values apart from maybe for very long circuits so I guess would be easier to include than track surface evolution which is already being done. It would be nice to have the choice though.

Maybe all those roads cars in AC would be a lot less fun to drive if they modelled the brakes properly and they all had terrible brake fade after 2 laps. Maybe that is the real reason they don't include it

Winton is finished. Now I am waiting for the cams from Luigi. Lets wait a bit more

Thank you Patrick. You truly help take the sim to another level.
Thank you FOM. You have validated what a great sim we have.
LOL

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Thanks. Already moving to the next track

Winton is a great choice for a track to bring into AMS. Thanks for this one and all your excellent track work.

Phillip Island perhaps ? If so, please have a look at the bridges, as cars pass under them shadows from the cars were casted on the bridges in Stock Car Extreme.

Not sure that something can be done about the shadows: I think it is the same at Kansai (original track). And it is the same in GTR² and rFactor 1, all Gmotor games…
Thanks again Patrick, really happy to have more Aussie tracks!

Hey guys i'm wondering how track aiw can be done because yet the only way to do it I found is editing the file with notepad.. Any hints?

If you have the exact same track running in Rfactor, you should use the AIW-Editor for Rfactor. If not, convert the track to Rfactor.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

In fact I was not totally honest, because I have worked A LOT on the next track already.
You will have to be patient because of cameras not ready. But this one will be epic for battles

 

[alexSchmurtz]

You're working too fast anyway Patrick: I'm not able to master each track before you release the next one…
Thanks for all the work you put into this!

 

[Rob Fitness]

Nice Patrick, don't pretty it up too much, it's a bit of a dump in real life lol. Similar to Córdoba. Looking forward to it. Are you using real life signage on the concrete walls etc, need any help with sourcing images etc

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

I Have used Google map And some vids. I think It Is ok

Morning all,

Does anyone have a rough guide to Bathurst DRS settings. I have created a championship for F1 2015 mod i've been tinkering with, I followed Patricks guide to adding DRS checkpoints, checked the Trace.txt file in my user log and it makes no mention of DRS points. I was thinking of installing the detection point after the long back straight going down the hill under the bridge before the start line, and then the DRS zone after the front straight on the drag going back up the hill. But like i said, i pressed the DRS button while in game and it just said DRS not available right now and then made no appearance on that trace.txt file when i logged back out. Any ideas? Or is Automobilista different from SCE in regards to installing DRS zones?
