Any worthwhile track mods outside of the MegaPack?

ShredatorFIN · Apr 28, 2017

I heard there's Suzuka mod for AMS? Can't find in RD, where I need to head?

Is there some other tracks that aren't included in the MegaPack, that are on similar quality level? Already grabbed the Okayama

by Patrick Giranthon, everything this man touches seems to turn into gold.

Load the AMS stock track "Kansai" and your Suzuka craving will be well satisfied.

Oh

I'm quite new to the sim. So many tracks, I thought it's some Brazilian or similar track didn't try it yet. Thanks for the tip

Haha, nope that is the one you want.

And as far as other quality AMS tracks, the MEGAPACK is pretty much it. No disrespect to the other modders here but the Reiza procedures to get the tracks to "AMS Standards" is quite unique and as far as I know, other than Reiza, only Patrick fully understands the ways of the force.

It is possible to port any RF1 or SCE track to AMS fairly easily however you will be missing proper shaders and the dynamic track. I have around 200 additional tracks in AMS now (much thanks to the help of the AMS modding community) so I can guarantee it is possible.

eec has some tracks converted as well. im using their Sebring and watkins glen track. I believe the shaders are updated but not the dynamic track surface

The JNS track pack has an awesome version of Watkins Glen and Sonoma + loads of ovals if you're into that. They're not quite Reiza standard but they're a heck of a lot of fun!

GTSpeedster has converted lots os SimRaceWay tracks to AMS (14 tracks total).

Donnington, Zandvoort, Assen, COTA, Sonoma, Mid-Ohio, Glen, Daytona, Lime Rock, Edmonton (from Indycar)....

Check out his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/GTSpeedster

For every AMS video there's a link to download the track.

Graphics are very good and AI are solid.

Gtspeedster tracks are ok, just can't get mid Ohio going, stalls when loading, hit space and ctd occurs. Anyone else having this issue.

If anyone experiences flickering with these tracks, it's probably because of a very low field of view. Gradually increase the FOV until the flickering stops.

I keep getting gMotor2 error: Error opening MAS file RFE_SKY.MAS when i select the track and this is for COTA

WCP Paul Ricard is about as good a mod track gets visually. Very detailed, exceptional looking track. Severally let down by terrible AI corridors in several key parts of the circuit. Not an issue if you're an online racer, but if you are more of a single player offline racer then it's probably no good for you, other than hotlapping?!

WCP Cota is their first and best work from them. Must have.

Also, Sebring and Ricardo Tormo are excelent.

I second this post. I like the JNS pack.

Worth noting that a lot of Patrick's tracks have been updated since the release of the mega pack so you may want to download the updated files separately. Easier to look at his resource page to find all the files

Anyone know why Patrick doesn't update the main Mega Track Pack itself? Probably no more updates into individual tracks. Would be more convenient for new guys. Maybe AMS won't get many at this point though...

I think the idea was to update all the tracks individually then upload a new mega pack. Updating the pack for one track requires a huge bandwidth to upload the file; the idea was to avoid doing it over and over...
Updating all these tracks is a huge task, it can't be done overnight. Real life got in the way too.

Yeah, I thought he was done with the tracks. But IRL getting in the way is very understandable reason, wouldn't make sense to update the main pack anymore until everything is absolutely final
