Spot the (many) differences

Six start lights for one thing..!

Super early days at the moment. Clockwise track, have F1/WEC in mind for it so some alterations to the pit lane might be necessary to accommodate larger grids, but most things seem to go alright around it. I'm pretty horrible at driving on AC, but I've gotten into the low 1:23's in the Formula Hybrid 2018, so it's a pretty fast lap. Sector 3 is a tyre killer! Have a few possible layouts in mind too.

Any feedback appreciated.

Interesting layout and looks like a great start

I'd like to see some elevation change, but that's just my personal preference.

What kind of setting do you have in mind for the track?

 

[Aletdownofstate]

There's going to be some subtle elevation changes eventually, though nothing major. For the setting probably just a regular middle of nowhere track like Silverstone or something for now. Though I do like how Abu Dhabi and Paul Ricard do things with colour, so maybe something along those lines.

Probably going to be slow progress for a while, moving house in a few weeks so might not have a huge amount of time to work on it and I'm still learning Blender, so a lot of figuring things out as I go along.

Funny, that's what I say about almost all modern F1 circuits in real life

Does anyone know how to get rid of this texture blurring thing that's going on with the white lines btw? It's pretty horrific when driving around the track.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Longer texture (1024 wide x 4096 long) and stretch your UV mapping a little. It's the lower resolution mip maps being used in the distance.

Either that or model your lines rather than use a texture.

 

[Ryno917]

Recommend modeling the lines. Larger texture will help high detail, to a point, but anyone who has to turn down the texture settings will get the blurring.

 

[Aletdownofstate]

Cheers, I'll look into it. Increasing the texture res has worked for the time being.

I've had Win 10 for like, 2 years now and I still have no way of capturing video from AC. So here's a gif made of 3 random screenshots...

I'm not gonna say it's self-explanatory cause I had to google it...
txNormal should contain macro scale waves which move relatively fast in the direction waves visibly go (towards shallower water or towards currents). This part's more set up via UV mapping than parameter.
txDetailNM should contain micro scale waves which move slower in an oblique direction.
detailMult should be an irrational number, to avoid the 2 textures tiling neatly, likewise the 2 speeds should not have a handy GCD. (so for example: mult of 2.0 is an integer and bad, 2.09234 is 104617/50000 when expressed as a fraction which is much better. If in doubt use phi, or 1.618033988)
I believe 1.0 in the speed variables is +1 to uv per second, so you probably want more like 0.05 sorta thing to start with. Depends how big the texture is.

General material settings would be a dark brown-green diffuse (the river in the gif is muddy so it's more brown), with fresnelC 0.04, fresnelEXP 4, fresnelMAX 0.66 or so.

For redistribution only the _ps and _vs files in system\shaders\win\ are strictly necessary, the rest's so kseditor can operate.

anyone an idea what this means? I have crashes when I try running races/track days with mixed grids containing eboos hillclimb cars (the E36, 190 and Kadett), curiously enough it seems to only crash when more than one of these cars are in the grid, on their own they do fine.

your monaco is one sexy limo

and no i'm not working much on victoria...
cause you see it's passed 9pm and ain't nobody called Victoria cooking for me XD

Some progress. Added deflection so you can see exactly (ish) what your suspension will look like in AC. Bits and pieces (CoG, longitudinal instant center) for anti-effects are already in, just have to add the actual calculations.

I've had Win 10 for like, 2 years now and I still have no way of capturing video from AC.

I have recorded from AC on Win 10 in the past using OBS but just recently have struggled. it would either record the launcher window (black screen) or compress the game screen into half the size. maybe someone knows the secret.

Running out of room (and things to add).

I can assure you, it's only going to get worse from here.

Very nice! What will it cost, if anything?

Yeah model those puppies

Not really sure what I’m doing with it yet. I don’t think it’ll be free if released to the general public though. Considering the features, it’d be nowhere near as expensive as professional tools though. I’d also want to figure out a way that it couldn’t be redistributed easily.
