Welcome to the WIP thread of the Nashville Street Circuit.
I started in the AC support/modding community barely at the beginning of the year and so far I've made a bunch of add-ons for Assetto Corsa, such as the RSS Formula Hybrid add-ons or liveries for both Indycars (RSS and VRC). I can recognize that I've gained a lot of skill in these RSS FH add-ons and many of them have been improved along the time. Now I've decided to face something bigger than any of those add-ons. I will try to make a track from 0, with no external program like Race Builder. This is a very complicated and hard project for me since I never did a track or didn't have any knowledge, but I'll try to do my best. The track will cost 0€ so the whole community could enjoy it. I'd like to remember that this is not a job, but a hobby I like, so I just will have my sporadic free time to do this.
This track is very hard since it's not a typical fixed track, but an urban track, thus the logistic organisation is just visible the weeks before and during the race. I mean, I don't have any satelital image of the track. Consider that some parts of the Nissan Stadium parking was remodeled for the track and I don't have any detailed image of the paddock. The only and most recent Nashville satelital image that I've found is the one taken from the ISS a week after the race, but doesn't have great quality.
In case you don't know, I made the layout of this track a month ago, as a some kind of testing about what I was capable to do. I was familiarizing with the enviroment of creating a track.
If anyone is interested to join and help with textures or 3d modeling, is absolutely welcomed (and of course, I will absolutely credit it)
What to expect in this project?
- LiDAR and real elevation data
- Two layouts
• Indycar and GT America layout (main priority) 20 pits
• Short configuration north (parking stadium, second priority) 20 pits
Also I'vebeen sugested to do one more regarding the west side of the city (as the original layout is not very welcomed for racing fans), but it won't be high priority at the moment.
- My first priorities will be: Road (the north side of the river first), walls and fences, gates, tyre walls, the bridge and the parking. After those, I will try to end the buildings surrounding the enviroment such as the stadium, hotel, etc...)
- Patient. Remember I'm barely beginning in AC modding so I still have many questions. Thus I don't know when it's gonna be finished, but it would be very optimistc to say this year.
