Many thanks Humberto, great track!

The GSC mas file fixed it. Thanks Climax

Glad I could help, should feel like XMAS now with a whole bunch of new tracks.

Next up LeMans and finally should be able to upload my Nordschleife before the holidays if the track is kind to me.

Hi Guys

Yes me again,

Generally I don't do night racing so I never picked up that the car had no light reflections for this track.

Thanks to @Fanapryde and @Triebie for notifying me about this problem.

Special thanks to Triebie for fixing the problem in such a short space of time, much appreciated!

I recommend that you delete any previous version before installing this one.


Update details:

- Car night light reflection added thanks to Triebie
- I have also added track night lights
- Optimized night light intensity, improved night visibility and lighting (better visual experience)
- Adjusted RGB sunset and night settings, banners and general other textures don't look washed out
- Added zenon glow to street bulb lights
- Added new banner to start/finish straight
- Repacked all mas files (Keeping it clean)





If you want to revert to the DHL banner on start/finish straight you can select the Zolder_DHL_Pitlane_Banner file and copy the texture into the tracks location folder.

To revert back to the update just delete the same texture.



This is the closest that I can get the track to the current one but will over the weekend look at adding some new banner textures and settings from the 2016 GP version.

This will take time to redesign some because most of the banner textures from the GP version look like they are taken from YouTube videos and are not up to the tracks standard so far.

Cool stuff. Getting better and better.

But since you're still making changes, may I suggest something (in my mind easy) ?
In the Bolderbergbocht (also called Hospitaalbocht), there are billboards masking the little building (that is in fact a very small 'Hospital'). IRL there are no billboards at all there.

Sorry for the extra work
If it takes too much, don't bother. Only people who know the track will ever notice I think.

I did send you a personal mail over at RD, in short I will add as much details as one can to this track.

From where we started I think this track is looking pretty good so far, thanks for the suggestions.

Much appreciated!

Absolutely.
What I suggested are merely details.
Thanks for all this amazing work (not only on this track obviously).

Hi Guys

Some small things that I noticed. For some reason the solar panel bottom panels became rather dark with the last update, why, no clue.

Instead of just making them brighter I decided to make better one's

Another thing I noticed in a video is that the main grandstand roof edge is supposed to be off white and not orange.

Also fixed one of the banners.

Simply copy the new content into the tracks location and allow to overwrite.

You would still need to have the main track installed which can be found further up.

Thank you for your continuously work, looks great!

Hi Guys

Earlier today Alain from WCP sent me his update of the same Rfactor version which I did a texture update for over at RD.

He has done an extremely good job at adding all the AMS features like marbles, dynamic track and so on.

Since based on the same version I decided to port all my textures over and have made several other improvements.

Not going to list all the updates, in short other than his yellow rumble strip and some of the railings I have reworked, redesigned, replaced all textures, made new banners/tarmac with several new textures for the entire track.

Small update, just added the Shanghai buildings to the back round and fixed pit railing a bit.

Thanks mate, awesome as always!

please kart tracks

Thanks @GTR2-Freak, always appreciated.

Nordschleife is closer than ever and there will be a night Bahrain coming with some other tracks.

Textures and track upgrades are finished for Bahrain, just night lights with correct positioning and glow need to be done and pit settings need fixing.

Nordschleife is just a bastard of a track to update, more trees in one track than all AMS put together.


@jonilar I unfortunately have not come across any good cart tracks, although I haven't looked to be honest.

If you find any decent one's you can always send me a pm but they must have a good base to work from.

Only thing I can offer is my skin for karts.

Can't tell you how much I hate this track and especially the first corner section
I did not even have a version of the track in my list.
And now you made me install it again... because it will obviously look a lot better.


Btw: I do like the new loading screen... nice touch

Hi Climaxf1

The BarberGp edition you did is absolutely fantastic. The aesthetic change has made the track so much better. I wonder how an aethetic change to other tracks would change them. Sonoma and Leguna with green grass, one can only imagine. Im british but love a track based on its flow no matter where it is , but all leguna mods are bright white and ugly. Shame. Always look forward to your track updates. I see mention of Le Sarthe

Something I also don't like about most AMS tracks, even those uploaded by experienced modders os that that all use the same lighting and rgb colors. To me this makes a lot of the tracks look a bit washed out, almost cartoonish.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just prefer each track to have a bit of personality instead of them looking all generic.

I generally prefer more texture and color so will normally do my tracks based on a Spring/Summer type.

RGB colors for the track I go seasonal, if the track and race is hosted in winter then I go for colder colors and so on.

I think everybody has their own taste which makes every track something special if done right.

There will be a few more tracks coming, just patience, have fun with the other tracks so long.

As for Barber, it's supposed to have green grass and lush trees, if you Google the track all you see is green grass, why the original was done so dry I don't know.

Accepting requests?

Generally no, I have a list of tracks that have a good base that I work from and am currently busy with some tracks now so I don't really have the time to start other things.

You can always send me a link of the track via pm and I can look at it, if and only if the tracks interests me and it's worth working on then I would be interested.

I like to stick to the tracks that I know that I will be racing on which I'm sure one could understand. To spend a lot of time on a track that I will not use doesn't really appeal to me.

Thanks!

Hi Guys

He we have another track where again I've done a full texture update and more.

I don't need to list all the updates, those who know my track work will know that every single texture has being looked at, reworked, redesigned or replaced and optimized. Some texture are scratch made.

Your common textures like tarmac, grass, racegroove and rumble strips have all being replaced.

New atmosphere, rgb and fog settings for the tracks.

Loading screens I've left as, one thing I can mention is that the shorter versions don't have racegroove for some reason. Anyone willing to help would be appreciated.

Wet version I've left as is except for all the new textures which all tracks use.

Have fun

How very nice track Climax F1. I drive this in Rfactor. Like yours much better. Thank you.

Once more great work, thank you

I was thinking about something underrated, but exciting, from Indy 2010-2013



Details on PM.

Thank you for the last update also

I can help with the race groove and a few other AIW issues.
