Gimli Raceway project for rFactor 1 - WIP

.

Finally put a roof on the washrooms..

You know, The important stuff!!

Shadows are casting at the correct angle per time of day.

Way cool.

Im afraid you still have some work to do until the track looks as good as the pic on the right. The one on the left is not realistic enough.




just joking of course.

This is one of the best looking rf1 tracks ever, congrats. Its Asetto Corsa graphics quality

HAAHHA!!  ..Alberto, My wife said the same exact thing!!  

Thanks so much for the compliment. I'm really proud of the work so far.

Happy New Year!!

Using textures from real life photographs of the armco at Gimli. Much needed improvement.

Drag strip launch pad is now complete as well.

Moving along nicely...

Final touches on Race Control tower. Buildings are now finished.

nice to see you use hudson sky if im not mistaken
consider them as the best icm with the right blendings

lateley i found out by revising monaco for the 91 season super realistic asphalt blends

normaly we all use a bump spec map t1
but going to spec multi t1 + t2 you realy can blend the tarmac in with -3 bias
specialy with lots of lines and traffic signs
a nice multi and spec asphalt  with hudson sky do there jobs and the result is  amazing

example

I see you are still hard at it with 1991 stuff.. Did you ever finish my 1991 Magny Cours? ..I see 7-Up Jordan upgraded my 1991 Silverstone.

Cheers.

This was the Magny Cours we used last time we did F1 91, it includes the chicane after the hairpin.

Haha! yes, Richard. That is my chicane after the hair-pin. Great to see my old stuff getting used!

Here is where I left off on that project. Hand made curbing up to the chicane. (Never got finished) And lots of other details to match 1991 spec.

Thanks for the compliments! I'll be around for a while. I'll find some spare time to help.

Cheers! And best luck in your racing season this year!

Good to see you advancing your modding skills, FD!

Best luck with your projects!!

Here's some more interesting stuff..

This photo is facing South-East at start/finish at Gimli. I'm told the building in the background has long since burned down.



This ought to be a good combination.

You've probably seen this footage but incase you haven't at about 9:30 Formula Atlantic at Gimli 1975.

I have not seen this one yet, Dave. Thanks for sharing. Very cool stuff!

All Lod-in's and Lod-out's are defined. No FPS lost.

It's a peach.

Final aiw path, folder naming, load screens, and .mas pack hopefully this week.

2016 Gimli MotorSports Park V1.0 Coming soon.

Right on target with Dave's Formula Ford mod against real life FF lap times. Excellent simulation.

1:04's at Gimli in real mode.

Simply awesome.

What a terrific little track! A bit too tiny for an IMSA GTP car, but it got such charm, love it!

Great job mate, nice track

Top track Bob
What's next ?

Thanks for the nice compliments, Guys.

I'm glad you are enjoying the track. I really like the flow with this circuit.

Cheers.
