I don't see any reason for it to be delayed to be honest but that is up to Darren.

Thanks for all your kind comments guys.
Lilski, the rest of the team and and I have been working through some last minute texture tweaks and tidying up a few odds and ends which is to be expected. No reason it should affect the release schedule.

Counting down the days of this week!

I just wanted to say that I am honored Darren asked me to test this great track and allow me to make a contribution to the project. This was a nice change of pace for me as I needed a small break from my own projects. I really think you all will like this great US track.

Funny thing I found out today is VIR was originally built in 1957. Same year as Bridgehampton, Riverside, Lime Rock, Laguna Seca, and I'm sure a few more. '57 was one heck of a year for US race circuits!

Anyway since a few shots have been posted here I thought it would be OK to post one that shows what I did. The main things are the road and grass textures. I used a new trick on the grass using custom mip maps to mostly eliminate the dreaded texture repeat over long distance. I will post a tip on that after VIR is released.

Oh man, it's going to be a long week. Can't wait.

This could be my new favorite sound mod test track. I hope the TV cams are great
Can´t wait to do a video of some of my coming sound mods on this beatiful track!

A massive thank you to @LilSki for taking the time to cast his fairy dust over VIR prior to release. His technical prowess means we now have a product that both looks, and performs better than it already did. We salute you sir!

Really, all that remains at this end is to package everything up and have a bit of fun testing

tick, tock....

Ready for this

 

[Rigel]

I think I got how the motio blur works

Spoiler

The Patriot layout seems pretty good for drifting

 

[Topuz]

This looks really good. I especially like the color palette, not at all pastel, that bugs me with most Kunos tracks. Details seem great as well.

A couple more from me
