Burke Lakefront Airport *released*
Posted by klausfeldmann
Hello to the whole community,
while some leisure time I made ChampCar's great Burke Lakefront Airport track at Cleveland, Ohio, USA, which is in my opinion one of the most 'america-like' tracks existing.
Facts:
- Track length: 3.4 Km
- The unmodern track was driven until the end of the ChampCar Worldseries in 2007.
- Last winner was Paul Tracy, which was at the same time the last victory of his career.
- Runway 1 has got the broadest track width in international motorsport with about 45 metres width.
- Most wins on this track are owned by:
--> Emerson Fittipaldi,
--> Danny Sullivan and
--> Paul Tracy with 3 wins each.
- In earlier times the airport has been a freight airport, but since financial crisis 2009 it's nearly out of order and is only used for general aviation any more. The corona-crisis made it even worse.
- Having a look on it via GoogleEarth, nevertheless it shows that runway 1 has been modernized and enlarged since 2007.
- The track has a high level of contrasts: On the backstraight you can drive just a few metres next to thousands of fans. On the other side of the track you can enjoy very remote areas at the bank of lake Erie.
- In 2015 and some time after, there were rumors that the IndyCars could return to race at Cleveland. Nevertheless, there has been no agreement about it up to now.
Thanks to:
- Ginoblade for many textures and objects.
- GP4-community for help and making track editing possible.
- Paul Tracy, who created many great races at Cleveland.
Known bugs:
- In practice and qualy ccCars will go out only once.
- No wet reflections and skidmarks on some parts of the track, due to necessary graphical setting.
- and many, many more, I'm sorry.

Thanks to all .
Please go on to report some bugs, so that maybe I can fix them.
New bugs being reported:
- Sometime cc-cars in the run-offs don't return back to the track. They stay standing on the grass and retire instead.
- Cars aren't able to enter the pitlane on some PCs.
- Request: Low-definition version of the two runways.
I'll see what I can do in the next days.
@Briere:
Yes, I already thought that this HD-texture could be the limit. Even my image program is unable to handle bigger textures. I'll try to fix some reportet bugs and release a LD and an HD-version finally.

Yeh actually, my PC can handle 4096x4096 textures (That's the way my 2015 cars.wad is made) but I think it's the compression (aaaa8888 or saomething
) that makes the files too big, I normally change to DXT5 myself, but this time I can't lol. Thanks for taking note of our requests

Problem with loading already solved,now these two problems:in qualifying all cars are staying in pits with front wheels spinning,no one comes out to set time.
In race everything ok until the moment I want to go to the pits.When I reach the pits entering area the car absolutely stops and doesn't go further.How to enter the pits??
