Tracks Sveg, Sweden

[LeonS]

comp layout is fine, it's just that the other layout seems pretty much the same, at least if it's not full of sponsor banners would be much better, no marshalls, a more casual look, sort of previous days to the competition.

I disagree. There is only one Sveg Raceway, and the only reason for the extra layout is stricter track limits and shifted white lines, as this was requested for online racing. I don't want to give and incentives or disinsentives to use one layout over the other except when it's league racing and you have to have the stricter track limits.

The competition layout was a request by I think RD to have stricter rules (curbs not considered valid driving surfaces) and white lines that exactly go around the driving surface. I could throw that one out actually, since I've never seen anyone use it for that purpose and it tends to confuse people

Yep, that was me
Sadly the RD ac club thinned out a lot and well, I'm no staff anymore and no one else cared for it so yep, I think you can kick that out
I still love this track! Awesome combination of turns and really sweet location

It stayed in but I added a note on the download page explaining what the purpose is.

did you manage to fix the issue I PM'd you?

Late (almost midnight) summer sunset in Sweden (i placed the track at the coordinates of the real village/town Sveg)

That's quite fascinating actually. Maybe you can make a pretty replay camera video without apps on screen as well?

Unfortunately I have a crap GPU so recording at 60FPS is a no go for tv cameras. Hopefully Ilja will release the new shader patch with WeatherFX soon(ish) so everyone can enjoy the 24h cycle.

BTW I'm really happy about the very positive reception and the excellent reviews here on RD. Please keep 'em coming, enjoy this track as much as possible and spread the word -- much appreciated, guys (and girls, if there are any)!

Hi Leon, one thing I've noticed which may/may not be of interest, if the 'Merge Meshes' CPU optimisation option is ticked in CM/shader patch, the left-hand main support arc of the bridge disappears. Not sure if you use these various optimisations or not (or even CM/shader patch) but thought it worth mentioning just in case.

Also, and please don't hate me, I think you've tamed the kerb rumble a little too much with the last update. Somewhere between the previous version and the current one might be a better sweet-spot maybe? Just my opinion of course, it's there to be ignored.

So far I havent played around with the optimizations, I might have a look at it at some point. Regarding the curb rumble, it's tough for me to find a good solution cause I've turned that off entirely or at least to very low values. So on my wheel it feels just fine. But since it isn't a deal breaker, I'm happy to collect opinions and give it a small update somewhere down the line.

I'm happy to tweak an ini for my own purpose only if I knew which values to change?
Different wheels will have different effects, after all.

sure, select the surfaces.ini in the sveg/standard/data folder, and adjust VIBRATION_GAIN for KEY=KERB, KEY=PAVER and KEY=CPLATES

Showing off the new grandstand and pit lane a bit more

I think it's safe to say that this amazing track has entered the Assetto Corsa Hall of Fame. Just so much beautiful detail and immersion.

Mate like I said before you have knocked this track out of the park. The quality is fantastic and fully deserved of all the positivety coming your way. Thanks for adding enjoyment to our hobby.
