The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[millen]

Was just driving it the other night in AMS, so took me about 2 seconds to get that one.

Nice. It's a really fun track, with some great corners. Looking forward to it.

Not really a "What are you working on" yet, but I was thinking of trying out track modelling and this is my likeliest starting point:

I wasn't aware the WP was that long this year, I actually had the part until 2:53 in mind. (I grew up in the village at 1:25, so I know the roads there quite well - and always and still felt like the drivers could go way faster in some parts of the track )

What do you guys think? Could this be a fun track do drive in AC? Having mainly road cars and lower spec-rallye-like cars in mind. And is it a realistic starting project to learn the craft of modelling?

(for those who are interested, there are more videos as it was also WP 8 this year; moreover Rallye Fränkische Schweiz Brunn should give some more results; the starting point is pretty unique compared to the other starts of the rallye)

I would love to see this track - we can't get too many tracks in our beloved AC!

I'd be really amazed if someone recognized it from this pic.

Oh HELL YES!!! Super excited to see this in the works!

that is some nice elevation changes over a lap

 

[Rigel]

Yep! I'm using LiDAR data so it should translate nicely in game.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Oh man, EVERY circuit should a little graphic like that (well, every circuit that I want to make, anyway )

 

[Dave_6]

Nice! The only race track I've actually driven on in real life!

 

[SportRotary]

I'm looking forward to how you model the giant spider at Barber:

It's exciting to see tracks in the South East getting some attention in AC; VIR, Barber... Now we just need Road Atlanta.

Had a quick race with @Tberg on NJMP Lighting and man what a great layout for close racing. Had a good run going until Tberg had a little issue in T1

TV cams were just a quick thing I put together for the video.

How well do you know it? I could use a tester

Made some laps (not many) in a couple different cars and I've been to the Grand-Am/Indy Car/PWC races there since 2009, along with the Superbike races 3 times. Seeing it in person really gives you an idea of the elevation changes around the track. It's hard to grasp just seeing it on TV.

I've made a ton of laps on the iracing version, can't wait to see how this one matches up.

to those of you using animated wings, is it possible to make an animation file that changes the wing's static..."position" according to the settings in the setup?

I don't want to make it move ingame, just to have different appearances according to the setup angle, like "30° in setup - wing at 30° angle ingame, 40° - wing at 40°" and so on.

Yes it works just fine, just make sure you don't have any wing controllers acting on it, as they will override it. Made a quick example (had to remove active controllers and add the wing section in the setup.ini):

(Set the wing in the setup.ini to Clicks=0 to show actual angle, which I didn't do.)

Opens up a lot of possibilites, as you could have an option to open doors etc in the setup which is kinda cool.

What I want to do is have three steps in the wing's setup, and according to this one or two foils of the rear wing should "disappear" completely, via keyframes "Scale=0"

Hmm, i think you'd have to have the 3 stages equally spaced in the animation, then in the setup.ini set the 'steps=' to however many degrees represents a stage of the animation, so you can only choose a few wing angle settings.

I hope more mods support 3D model changes based on setups. Love it on the IER Corvette Daytona with high/low downforce aero kit

Downside last I looked is setups aren't transmitted in MP so you won't see anyone else's settings. Wing animation logic is just calculated locally based on the same parameters (so if your client knows they are braking at 140km/h, it can flip the wing up for example)

Wings add to replay size (and aero physics calculations) so it's probably best practice to stick to the showroom animation loops for stuff that's not aerodynamically important.

Woah you just had to bring that last few seconds in the vid! Next time I´ll post your sundaytrip in the grass (the big one)!

Look so much forward to this one, already fun!
