Tracks CA-9 Saratoga 1

[skeluh]

skeluh submitted a new resource:

CA-9 Saratoga - 8 mile touge in the south bay area

During the quarantine i spent a whole lot of time making this on racetrack builder. May or may not keep updating. Track drives well but needs an artist to improve the visuals.

Thx for sharing your hard work.
Foremost, there are missing shadows and it´s, at least on my system, all to bright and overexposed.
If you use CSP, you could use this quickly made code in a config ini to see what I mean:

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION= fix needed shadows
MATERIALS = ?,
CAST_SHADOWS = 1

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION= overall a bit darker
MATERIALS = ?,
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.15
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.1

Gives you imo a bit more realism.

Amazing mod and I love it, in an update would love the launchpad or parking area a little ways down. Only a few more turns up but it would be really cool. Maybe one day skyline and alices too. Love this track so much and really helps me practice this drive!!!!!

I love the concept. Growing up in the Bay Area it was HWY 9 , HWY 152 Watsonville, Hicks Road, and laurales Grade in Monterey, but because I've driven these roads so much I really wanted to see more of the scenery, and have that be part of the SIM driving experience on this track.

Details like guard rails, cliff drop-off's, lakes, tree canopy's, all of what makes 9 feel so amazing, I see this track evolving over time.

+1 for bringing this to the sim community!
