AMS track updates by Climax F1

Hi Guys

Page edit | Final Update 2018/11/20

You would think that redoing the track twice would be enough but sometimes one can easily overlook something when your focus is else where.

After some relaxed laps I started noticing how some texture's even though being reworked just weren't on par with the rest of the track so I decided to make several new texture's to replace them.

Update details:

- New sun added, better ambient lighting
- New grass blades added
- Completely rebuilt all pedestrian bridges with new texture's (scratch made)
- New pit van texture added, still not great but much better
- New light poles and reworked every single steel or aluminium textures
- Complete rework of the grandstands now
- New visible break signs added
- Reworked Pit Boxes
- New track side toilets
- New Marshall huts
- Reworked Marshals
- Reworked some of the smaller textures around the track

This should be the final update as I have now reworked or replaced every single texture from this track

If you have a previous version of this track I recommend deleting the old one before installing this one.

N.B. One thing that I do recommend and because of the age of this track, use the high texture setting in the AMS menu, this will give you the best balance for the track. Everything else you can adjust as you please or you system allows.


Update 2018/11/19

Yesterday whilst exchanging some ideas and testing a new race groove I decided to revamp the track again. To me my first update was good but a bit too refined and general colors were a bit to strong.

Sounds crazy when you've just reworked the entire track to start over again and it was worth every time spent on it.

I even created a new race groove specifically for this track which blends in with the track very well.

Track looks very natural, everything flows, colors are good and most importantly the AI is very good.

New RGB track colors and with fog added to the back round gives the track I really nice look.

If I were to explain this track I would say that it's kind of like Hungoring and Spa all in one.

There are several versions of this track converted from Rfactor, with this one I have used Ronnie's conversion to Stock Car Extreme and now updated and converted to AMS by myself.

Normally a track this old I wouldn't consider, especially in the state that it was but ever since I had a go it quickly became one of my favorite tracks.

This track is fast with a few blind corners, scenery is great with variety of corners that flow into each other and many drops with hill climbs, makes this a must have.

Bare in mind that this is one old track and I've tried my best to give it some new life.

Update details:

- New skies and atmosphere
- Fixed pitlane and start/finish tarmac
- Four new layouts available
- New skyblend settings
- Track RGB colors edited
- Fog settings added
- Race groove and texture added (scratch made)
- Reworked all tarmac surfaces, some have being replaced
- All rumble strips and gravel textures have being reworked
- Most tree's and bushes have being reworked or replaced
- New walls, safety walls, barriers, amco rails, palisades and fence's
- Complete rebuild of the pit building with new textures (mostly scratch made by me)
- Reworked all bridges, some have new textures
- Majority of the grandstands have being reworked
- Back round scenery, grass and landscape textures have being reworked or replaced
- New tents and gazebo's around the track
- All banners have being reworked
- Small objects like cones and all other track side objects have being reworked or replaced with new textures
- Various dust and skid textures added
- Just about every other texture has being reworked or replaced
- Loading screens added
- New replay camera for the main track version (the rest are fine as is)

Fantastic, I'm running out of words, a really serious huge thank you !!  
Looking forward to your new projects, but take the time you need and take a break in between, even if it's hard.
I know that problem.  

Best greetings from Germany

Amazing work...again.

Thanks Climax

Holy , sweet mother of pearl! I swear Climax has crawled inside my head , and keeps updating all my favorite tracks! Toban is definitely a blast. Thanks Climax!

wonderful thank you

So that there's no confusion I have delete any previous updates of this track.

New update and download link can be found further down on this page.

awesome!
THX mate!

Amazing work Thank you

Hi guys. Hoping someone can help. Having trouble with some of these tracks. Zolder loads and then ctd. Brno, Donnington, Kylami won't load at all. Other tracks like Toban, having no problems. Where am I going wrong!! Thanks Climax for your excellent works, much appreciated.

@ClimaxF1

The only thing that comes to mind is that a lot of these tracks are converted from StockCarExtreme and use the commonmapsGSC where as AMS use's commonmaps.

Most of the time I do make the edits but in these cases I noticed that they have the commonmapsGSC mas file allocated.

Most people would have this mas file in their AMS Locations folder if they have being around a bit.

Here a link to download the mas file, just paste it into your AMS's location folder and you should be good to go.

If this does not work then it's not on my side or the track as it works with everybody else.

Hi Guys

Here's one last update to the track that I uploaded yesterday. Details can be found a bit further down.

Main update:

- AMS skies and atmosphere
- New RGB and fog settings
- Added some new tree's
- Reworked tree's, color balance and a bit of blur
- Added new grass layers and color balance
- Reworked all buildings
- Reworked all windows
- Reworked all safety and track side walls
- Reworked rumble strips and tracks side surfaces
- New race groove added
- Reworked all banners
- Removed all StockCarExtreme banners and flags and added new one's
- Various other textures or objects reworked around the track
- New loading screen





Update details v1.1:

- Even though I did update the grass textures before I wasn't completely happy after some laps and decided to rather make new one's which look far better than the reworked one's

- Fixed some Pit building windows and texture's





Update v1.2 Final

I do apologize for making one last update, I honestly thought that I would be done until a good friend of mine showed me a version that was updated by Neel Jani.

I did consider using his version which was a update from the very first track from Simbin. Having had look at his and comparing the v2.1 from StockCarExtreme it made more sense to rather use the better quality version and try and bring as many objects over.

This version now is as close as I can get it to the current track, I've replaced most banners, reworked the entire Pit lane building all with scratch made textures.

Objects like the windmills and solar panels I've taken from his version but here again I have also had to make new textures as the those were not on par with the track I have worked on.









Update v1.3

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!


Download track here:

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.

In future rather send me a mail, don't really want to be posting about cars on my track page.

Lets keep this post track related only!

If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have this version so also thanks to you. Was a bit of work but well worth everything and how do you say no to a man who's from Belgium

Just did about twenty laps into the sunset and really enjoying this one.

Thank you for updating this track.... i just can't stop to driving in there....

Great Job Climax and thank you for sharing.

help me find historic spa 196x

I have a little problem

@skylineforever

I have noticed that with the Caterham there was this problem, some open wheelers and other cars I have tried so far have being ok.
Unfortunately I have no experience with track AI so I can't help.

Hi Guys

Here's a small update to Zolder, you would still need to download the main track which can be found in the main Zolder post just above.

File download size 2.89mb

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1krnv6R_bqkXK4zexRv4SwYDi0leV8L55

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

Update details:

- Added Belgium Mercedes Ambulance
- Added some texture to pit lane yellow bins
- Solar panel base changed

These are small add-ons, if you don't want them, don't download the update then.

Very nice track Climax F1. I like all the color. Thank you.

Really impressive how you changed the look and feel, thanks a lot for update and addon!
