Unfortunately the asphalt turned green and purple after 0.30...Would be awesome if it got fixed...I love this track, it it the best!

sadly most of the scenarios are broken, the only one i could do is the one with the driving the three wheeled car over the bridge, rest is ok and is a nice map

Fantastic work, such an iconic track! I'm really hoping for more US tracks, Virginia International Raceway (VIR) wink wink? :) I'd pay money for that track, it's so underrepresented in any sim/game. Thank you very much for your effort on this track!

great map to race on, However, the scenario's I've played dont work very well.. It's probably just the AI, but in the scenario "track showcase", the AI car you're supposed to follow spins out after the straight. he also doesn't corner too well. and the "overtaking challenge" is nearly impossible, yet set to medium difficulty. you have to cut every corner and race 60% of the race on grass to even stand a chance, and even then, by the time youve caught up the last car will be spawned just after the straight.

Wow dude, how did I only find this now? Great version of the track, do you have plans to port more real race tracks?

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. Of course, hehe. Every year I plan at least one big project. Ive been plugging away at my latest one since I finished this track.

Still loving this great track. I am gonna make another video now that I am better at everything. Very good use of LIDAR. An environment that feels complete and fit for purpose. It can accommodate many things and is overall very authentic feeling.

you did an amazing job on this one, the track feels just like it felt on Forza. There are a couple of curbs in the last section of the track that sometimes pop the tires, otherwise it is basically perfect.

LIght Detection And Ranging. Basically, its a landscape map made from a 3D point cloud . Its a free resource; check out my forum signature for a link to my LIDAR map building guide. The data is acquired from an air plane at high altitude, so there is some noise and its not perfect and it creates rough bare ground at best. I still had to combine it with my 3D model of the race track to get even banking, curbs and walls.
It's also called as laser scanning; the big game companies use specialised LIDAR equipment to record replicas of roads, cars people, etc at very high precision.

Excellent job on this. I haven't been to this track in real life, but it looks authentic and on par with the most up to date versions of it in iRacing and Forza Motorsport 5 onwards. Only minor issues I had, the curbs around the back straight and last esses can eat tires sometimes, especially if you go past the edge into the grass at all. The track lighting at night also tanks performance, though not sure there's anything you can do to optimize that more. I see you have plans to upgrade the textures, would love to see that.
I made a showcase video of all of the scenarios plus a separate video for the endurance race.

I was surprised how well it turned out too. Not having to engineer every bump is nice. Yep, the tires in this game are amazing but they hate curbs. I've designed them to be tire friendly and still give FFB a neat buzz. It's a bad spot because your car is skidding constantly through the chicane.

This is really cool, the turns feel just right, even though it took me a few seconds to recognise them from FM7. The ground textures aren't great but they work.
Nice job :D-

Thanks, glad your enjoying it! For me, any comparisons to the big name titles is the best type of compliment. Just to be clear; I took no inspiration or designs from Forza - never even played the series, hehe. The textures and material settings are all stock assets which I'd like to upgrade soon, along with most of the antiquated graphics. It's all in the pipeline for sure, just taking a little rest from race circuits.

I have a very low spec computer which is below the suggested minimum system requirements to run the game and it still runs great. I assure you, I worked very hard optimizing everything to ensure everyone could enjoy this level.
