[merged] Track related problems : I need your help

Estoril 14 KM. Jalnervion did it eight years ago. Is my favorite racing track of all time (including real-life circuits), above Brno 1937, Adelaide night, old Silverstone, and old Monza. Estoril 14 KM is the only circuit where I can do hundreds of laps alone without getting bored.

On my birthday I received an almost final version done by Frizzo. The track had a letter written by him for me. I cried with the present. The track is sensational and my amateur work fixing tracks and improving a few 3D models inspired him to mess around with modeling. And thanks to that hobby he is currently studying an university degree in Industrial design and product development.

If I were to pick a fictional track for your story, I would choose Jops Siffert. This track is dedicated to a GPL modder who died in... 2005?

The man was from France I think.

Thank you very much friends !

Very interesting suggestions... I tested Moulinsart recently and it is a nice track to run. Maybe a bit too "1950's/60's" for 1972. I keep it in mind though...

The video of Jops Siffert is very tempting, But I can't find the track neither on my HD nor online.

I'll test more

Hi friends,

my Brands Hatch grid allows only 26 cars. 4 more cars are placed randomly behind them but the 31st and the others are behind a ditch and cannot race.

Someone got better, so I can put more cars on the grid?

The wrong solution, but one that works is:
You must copy the Grid lines that work, and then rename them.

GridIndex=21
Pos=(-131.36,.003,134.542)
Ori=(.002,-.785,.018)
GridIndex=22
Pos=(-140.199,-.114,137.017)
Ori=(.006,-.785,.023)
GridIndex=23
Pos=(-142.674,-.039,145.856)
Ori=(.002,-.785,.03)

that is...

GridIndex=24
Pos=(-131.36,.003,134.542)
Ori=(.002,-.785,.018)
GridIndex=25
Pos=(-140.199,-.114,137.017)
Ori=(.006,-.785,.023)
GridIndex=26
Pos=(-142.674,-.039,145.856)
Ori=(.002,-.785,.03)

Cars will squeeze but it works. It might not work with your car if you are in these copied places. You will get a penalty because your car will move before the start.

The correct solution is to calculate the numbers of the grid positions, the numbers are progressing or regressing. Calculate the sequence between one side of the Grid and the other side.

Thanks a lot !

I will try, but the back of the grid is into a curve....

edit : I tried, and it works... not really good, but works

I plan to race South African GP at Kyalami in 1973.

The only version I have of this track is 1979, with very distinctive yellow Simba sponsors on the finish line which is totally out of date for 1973.



Does anyone knows a better version and could share it to make a nicer Wookey Story Episode?

I got only the Kyalami 1975 converted from rF2...

May I try it? comparing pictures of 1973 and 1975, it seems your version should probably be closer then anything I have so far. I did not find it on your track list at Mega

You can it grab from there, Wookey:
