| Subject: Grand Prix Legends: Full 37 1/2 mile Isle Of Man TT track released Fri 7 Jun 2019 - 8:34 | |
| http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=12928 I've heard and driven on the "shorter" IOM TT circuit before, in GPL as well as on its rFactor/GSC2k13(and AMS) conversions. Now the full 37.5 mile circuit has been released. - Spoiler:
37¾ mile Isle Of Man Mountain Course for Grand Prix Legends RELEASE THREAD
A long time in development; too long in fact for me as well as yourselves, but here it is, Perseverance pays eventually. My best attempt at making this iconic road racing circuit.
All the details of the construction, a complete driving guide and a lot of other information is contained in the Readme and Driving Guide PDF.
Details of how your driving experience can be varied using different environment settings and Audio Pace notes as two examples, are contained in the separate Options Manager Readme PDF.
Updated / enhanced final version of both these PDF's are in the track folder [ AAIOM ] but for your convenience, are reproduced below.
Also listed below are three release videos, designed to demonstrate what its like to drive the track at speed, to show a number of different car sets and the various options available.

While this has been a one person build, in the Readme I have acknowledged different types of support that made creation of this track possible. That said I wish to acknowledge again here, the following people.
- Ken Murray, Manx GP and TT rider who gave valuable feedback on early Alpha builds.
- Nigel Pattinson, who added long tracks functionality to GPL.
- Lee Bowden, who provided the coding and added two of his own programs to enable my Options Manager system to work seemlessly.
- Stefan Roess, who has agreed to host the files.
There are three downloadable Zip files,
A ] The Main AAIOM Track Installer Zip, with all the large textures included.
B ] An Options Manager Zip
These first two Zips need to be installed by everyone. Both required for the track to run properly. Simple instructions for using these files are contained in the installer readme and an RTF Readme in the Zips. [ also reproduced below.]
C ] An Alternate [ Smaller ] Texture swap files Zip; ie a set of half sized copies of the largest standard ones, with included instructions for use. Download and try the smaller zip if you have loading or frame rate issues with the standard track files.
I hope you enjoy this long, varied and exciting driving environment, the historic Isle of Man Mountain Course, in constant use for racing since 1905!.
My best wishes, from way down under.
Jim Pearson.

There are also some CTD fixes and lite textures/other stuff over at Jim's website. Given how much fun I had on the shorter version, my personal track record with open wheelers being somewhere around 7:08 with the AMS Formula Classic 1988 and with "normal" cars being 8:30 with the Audi Ur-Quattro S1 in rFactor, I'm definitely looking forward to finally trying this track out. Given that it took Jim alledgedly over 10 years to develop this track, I'm convinced it's more than worth looking at and enjoying. Cheers! | |
