Mid Ohio, Lime Rock Park for AC?

[Tbear]

Anybody know if there are good versions of Mid Ohio or Lime Rock Park out there that aren't rips? I almost can't believe that these tracks aren't available.

sadly, not that i've seen. Too bad because lime rock is one of my favorites despite how short it is.

I was watching the IMSA GT cars race up there (YouTube HERE, BTW is you aren't watching the IMSA GT races this year, you are really missing something!), hovering right around 50 sec/lap ... great fun.

I realize how Euro-centric Assetto Corsa is, but Mid Ohio and Lime Rock Park are very important tracks on the US sports car racing calendar. Considering how long AC has been around, it really is amazing that there aren't any good quality, original-content versions of these tracks for AC.

Because there are only like 4 people who have created more than one track and only one (me) is from the US. Both of these are on my list but who knows when I will get to them.

At least we know they'll be worth waiting for.

Is there data "out there" for either track?

Yes

Yes

Cool. Where would one find it? (I've been toying with the idea of having a go at a track, but starting from zero it's probably a rather big mountain to climb so I wouldn't recommend that anybody starts holding their breath )

What’s even more crazy are the volume of good quality tracks built for AMS. A much smaller title that has such good track support. Really wish we would get more good quality tracks.

They are all converted from older sims. Barely any are scratch built and most are very inaccurate.

I thought someone was working on Lime Rock already? I remember seeing WIP images of it in the WAYWO thread.

Na, @Pixelchaser abondaned the project for personal reasons or so, never really got around why

Another question is, what @Rigel is doign with Barber these days

Scanned scratch versions would be nice, but I'm still having fun with rips of both of these in the meantime.
Don't shoot!

If @Terra21 could fix the Mid-Ohio mesh, the track would be really really nice - regardless of the inaccuracies. However, currently it's undrivable with anything that resembles a stiff race car

Without major surgery that track is doomed. Not sure why but all the usual tricks failed there. I wouldn't expect terra to figure it out. He's also too busy ripping forza tracks now...

is this made with Lidar?

 

[Rigel]

If by lidar you mean "largely inaccurate data as reference" then yes

It's a Forza rip. Identical to the original Forza track.

Pure theft, no other words for it.
