Marshland Tracks - Farms Layout Rev-0.9 - Long phantasy circuit in the Holstein Marshlands

Remark
While I was working on the CLUB layout, I took a few rides on my bicycle around the location to take some photos to use as background images and came to the conclusion that it would be really nice to have a longer extension for the small track.

This one more like a country road, more “Rallye style”!

But with some kind of “Italian charm” with poplar trees along the water and some lanterns etc..

This is a lot of fun. Thanks.

One thing: I'm seeing that the power lines don't render until you get quite close to them. At a distance, they don't appear at all. I have render distance set to maximum too, so it's not that. Any thoughts?

By the way, the feel of the road surface is awesome too!

Small Tip. I would leave the capital letters out of the file and folder names. This can cause problems.

I changed the LOD-setting for the .kn5 file as there was a lot of "flickering" with these thin lines in the air. At least that was my intention - I like it more as it is now for this reason. But it is not really satisfying - so still some work to do.

Will rememberr that one! Thanks.

You can change it quite a big amount by copying the different "physics.kn5" into the main folder - it goes from very gentle to nearly undriveable. Check it out and tell us your favorite - for me it was the "B" setting.

I like whatever the default is set to. It allowed me to blast a GT40 around in an exciting, but not crazily treacherous way - and I think it's a great loop for 50's-80's GT cars. I'll give the other physics files a try as well though. Thanks again.

christoph1954 updated Marshland Tracks - Farms Layout with a new update entry:

Rev.0.91 Powerlines

I added some meshes along the powerlines so to make them visible in the distance.

It worked for me with not too much flickering at anisotropic filter 16x.

So I hope it is OK this way.

christoph1954 updated Marshland Tracks - Farms Layout with a new update entry:

Rev.0.92 Colliders

The colliders for the trees and the road signs were turned to the inside and could throw the car heavily around if you would hit a post or a tree.
Had to flip the normals.
And the windgenerator with the maintenance team is now standing still.

christoph1954 updated Marshland Tracks - Farms Layout with a new update entry:

Rev-0.93 Physics mesh with cambered road

Normal country roads have a cambered surface - raised in the middle to remove the rain water into the ditches. So I added a new "physics-folder":
Physic-OFF-light noise & waves&OFF-Camber

Copy the new "Farm-1-physics.kn5" file into the track folder and give it a go.
The road in the corners now has some inclination at the apex, so you can go a little faster - but don´t go wide as you would end at the Off-Camber side of the road.View attachment 556126

I reckon it would look better as a historic track without the wind turbines etc.

It is not historic! It is the real location where I live and there are hundrets of turbines like this around our house. I loved the idea of having a race track close to my home, so I invented one by using all the farmland roads and trails that are really there - just did some kind of infrastructural improvement by building these tarmac roads we now can happily race on

I'm just saying I think it would look better without. I think wind turbines look terrible in any landscape, they ruin them.

Definitely not!
They give a graceful touch of brillant technic to a otherwise blant landscape - like the Marshland.
And they will safe our ass.
