[RELEASE] Updated V8 Supercars tracks (Eastern Creek, Barbagallo, Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, Surfers Paradise, Phillip Island, Hidden Valley, Oran Park, Pukekohe, Sandown, Symmons Plains, Canberra, Townsville, Winton, Bathurst)

I am doing my first serious steps in track modding. As of now I can't address every issue and I won't update every track but only the ones that my skills permit to improve.

Everything works fine from my tests but if you notice any wrong feature let me know.

Eastern Creek Raceway:

After a week of hard work I have completed my first big update for a track. I plan to improve my knowledge about track modding and to update more V8 Supercars tracks for the next V8 Supercars mod version.
I have increased the grid size from 32 to 51 cars and the garage doors will close/open depending on the number of opponents.

EASTERN CREEK

Barbagallo 2006:

Not so much work this time. The track was already good, I only improved the path for the cars located behind the pit lane.
They crashed against the last corner before entering the main pit lane.

Thank you good job

Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for this update, I did do a short test race and the weather did change early on forcing the cars to pit which did show off some pitlane issues, cars teleporting from where they stop to being serviced elsewhere as well as stacking on top of each other. I am unsure if it is something you did or it was always there.

every pit is shared by 3 cars so it can happen that 2 or 3 cars stack on each other. I think this problem occurs on any track. I placed the new pits on the last part of the pit lane and I took care of distancing them. If it happens on the whole pit lane it's not my fault.

I will recreate this problem to observe it. I don't know if I can do anything to solve it.

thanks for the track

I decided to have everything in one thread so this won't remain eastern creek's release thread.

Adelaide joins this thread

Melbourne has been released

Rerelease of Queensland and Surfers Paradise. There are very small changes.

Phillip Island released.

Now I have 3 tracks having the same problem. I will try to solve it but as of now I don't know how. I have to learn and find the right idea to fix them.

Hidden Valley released

Oran Park Raceway released. I take a break from track modding. I will update the second half after my next car conversion.

Pukekohe released

Sandown released. I'm rereleasing this track exactly 11 years after I've downloaded it...

I added Symmons Plains

Canberra released

Townsville released

Winton released. Now the last missing track is bathurst.

Bathurst released.

This is the recommended trackpack for the V8 supercars mod. I won't update modern versions of these track for future seasons (if there will be) because the mod focuses on 2002-2006. I think I removed all of the major flaws that affected these tracks. A possible future improvement can be a working garage building on the tracks that have a simple box as pit building because I don't like when cars are parked outside the pit building (Bathurst is an example). Anyway an update on this trackpack is not on my agenda now.

Thank you very much for all those amazing tracks...
