http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/biķernieki-race-track.140873

This version includes High Speed Ring configuration and driveable Oval configuration. I have set up a 24/7 "Biķernieki track day" server too.

have fun!...

Good news for those who race against AI!
I received a working pit lane .ai file and much better fastlane.ai file from an actual sports car driver
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9n92p4legz5t58d/ai.zip?dl=0
open the .zip file and drop the contents in /bikernieki/ai/
replace the old ones

hard to imagine this is a 0.3 version. It's amazing.

Sector times need fixing though.

 

[martinsh]

Regarding the version numbering - it is not a linear scale
at v0.6, i`ll be possible 90% done with the track. and with version 1.2 i`ll be probably 99% done
I`ve done significant work already in texturing and asset creation which will be re-used for remaining track layouts.
I wanted to have rounded decimals for each finished configuration and layout. It is easier to track it like that.

remaining tasks:
- grass, tyremarks, grooves.
- proper optimization
- track descriptions
- use of more advanced shaders for tarmac (normalmaps, fresnel and specular, detail maps)
- pebbles and tyre particles outside of the racing groove
- trackside objects (poles, flags, checkpoint buildings, finsh line, start lights, etc.)
- finish buildings, trees and objects inside complex
- lowpoly residential area outside the complex
- forest outside the complex
- moto track layout (extra 3km to detail - add lines, asphalt patches, fences, trees, ...)
- speedway layout (add grandstands, barriers, details)
- RX layout (3D scan the surface, detail it)
- Drift layouts (tyremarks)
- Kart track layout
- probably much more I haven`t thought of yet..

can sector times be fixed soon so I can start using this as time trial track?

 

[Jebus]

Holy crap man! I can already see this coming one of my favourites. Very much looking forward to future updates. Thanks!

 

[Berniyh]

Great track, had a lot of fun in the 962C.

Just two small things:
1. I went off at the penultimate corner (long right), but then joined the track again, but noticed later on that I was a lap down even though I was only seconds behind the leader all the time. So I guess I must've "skipped" a sector?
2. 8 sectors seems a bit like overkill?

 

[norbs]

A couple of extra cam files.

 

[Panar]

Extremely good work!! The only problems I have are: The AI needs fixing, the cars are struck in the pitlane, and the second is that I can't see the 2 configurations from the Content Manager.

 

[Berniyh]

That's because there is only one configuration in the archive.

Track crashes AC in online session when I ESC -> pits in race. Qualifying it works fine.

Here is some gibberish(for me) from the logs. Could help to solve this issue.

Great work with the track. Nice for mod testing to have another accurate track where they race Legends cars.

Hey, really good work. I was wondering if you were thinking about adding the other part of the race track too? I mean the witch kettle corner, this can attract alot of people, since its a really popular and a tricky section in drifting of course.

 

[cubadoo1]

Fantastic track , love the layout cannot wait for more updates . Thankyou.

that part is already modeled, but I need to detail it - add kerbs and barriers, add nicer transition to grass and plant trees.

[Jebus]

Perfect timing! Just fired up my simrig and saw that the update is out. Thanks!

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

hi, one question, what would be the "simple Drift configuration"? thanks
the track is really good!
I really love the short/"oval" configuration, for quick races is really fun!
I made a new camera set, feel free to include it on the next release, I will probably do some more because I really liked this track

[martinsh]

hi, one question, what would be the "simple Drift configuration"? thanks

What i meant of "simple" is that it is kind of "sandbox" drift layout. In future updates I`ll add actual drift configuration with barriers, boxes and decorations that are in real world counterparts. Meanwhile I`ll edit the original post and change "simple" to "sandbox" not to cause more confusion
Thanks for the video, I yet have to test Caterham on my track. And your cameras will be included in next release, thanks

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

I only asked because maybe there where some layouts used for drifting, I was watching some drifting competitions on YT to find out which parts of the track are used. So it's pretty much a free drive layout.
Thanks, I'll do a couple more cameras so you can include them.

On a support topic, the oval layout with 10 AI cars gives 99% cpu on the start grid, so there's a need of optimization but being an early stage I just hope it evolves naturally

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

The more I race on this track the more I like it!

new replay cameras sent already to the author, hopefully we will get them included on the next update, whenever that is.
