UPDATE - 10th May
And we're off - >>> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1669324602/snaefell-mountain-course-3d-laser-scan
I thought I'd add some interesting info for you all, the number of backers, and where they came from an % of total pledged so far. I'll update this daily/at % milestones.
forum.projectcarsgame.com - 5 - 46.43%
assettocorsa.net - 2 - 22.32%
forum.piboso.com - 1 - 8.93%
members.iracing.com - 1 - 8.93%
External - 1 - 8.93%
Kickstarter - 1 - 4.46%
OP
The sim racing community is pretty deep and widespread and full of talented people who build & mod content for their sims/games on a regular basis.
But there is, so far, one thing that no-one has managed to build, and that is a replica of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course. There is an abridged version whose developer is in the process of building a full version, but the chances of that being completed seem scarce and are growing scarcer every year.
So I've created a Kickstarter that will be going live at the end of the week.
I've been in contact with a couple of Laser Scanning companies about getting the TT Mountain Course laser scanned and currently have an unofficial cost of £10,000. The scanner will be providing a formal quote in short order.
The resultant data will be distributed via the many Sim Racing forums, free of charge to everyone who wants it in the hopes that we can finally get the racetrack that many of us 2 & 4 wheel sim racers have been longing for.
Would the members here be willing to contribute to a Kickstarter to get this done?
