Hi. Thank for this new great work. I test the track and all is right and the track is really good but only a problem: in practice i can´t see the pitcrews. Only it.

How to add pitcrew to this track?

I noticed a small problem with the B-layout, sometimes the tarmac looks like this:

I think it's col related like the issue with the pitcrews. I have a look at it.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Thanks for yet another fantastic track!

love the "B" layout. thanks!!!

Hi there.
I am not sure I write in the correct topic but since this track has a lot of foggy transparent tex's so I decided to write here.
Here is my problem:


As you can see, in my GP4 these 'foggy' textures are not transparent at all, I mean they are pixelated to a some kind of weird translucent chessboard thing appeared in the sky. This feature struggling me on every else track, for example Monaco, Singapore, Abu Dhabi or Night Sepang by Tumyeto. Some shots more clearly explaining my problem:


I was don't know what the problem is, until I saw the video by Mr. Phantaman:



On his GP4 everything works fine and foggy effect just looks so smooth and glorious. But I am not the only one, who got this weird graphic bug. Here's Mr. Hasbriale's video of the same venue:



The comparison shot:


So I am sured that the problem for sure is the f1graphics file. But I am still do not know what line I need to edit. So sorry for a long explanation and I hope the solution will be quick and easy.
Cheers!

You can start by checking your file contains the same lines as follow (ignore not-bold lines) :

1 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0)
1680 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Horizontal Resolution
1050 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Vertical Resolution

1 ; Use compressed textures if supported
0 ; Full 32bit textures
7 ; Set 0 => no 8bit alpha (all stencil - yuck) 8 => all 8bit alpha (no stencil - nice) else 1-7 as cut off

I believe that could be a good start...

Unfortunately my f1graphics already contains these lines so I have nothing to change, and it surely does not solve the problem at the moment. Here is my f1graphics file.

Hmm, you are using top-most texture filtering modes, maybe it could lead to some troubles, here are my settings :
1 ; Animation rendering mode. (0 - cheap lighting, 1 - proper lighting, 2 - VS) v2
2 ; [MAIN VIEW] Texture filter quality (0 => none, 1 => point, 2 => bilinear, 3 => anisotropic, 4 => flatcubic, 5 => gaussiancubic) v3
1 ; [MAIN VIEW] Texture filter quality for mipmaps - if any - (0 => none, 1 => point, 2 => bilinear, 3 => anisotropic, 4 => flatcubic/quincunx, 5 => gaussiancubic) v3
1 ; [MAIN VIEW] Max anisotropic filtering (1 => off, to max 7) v2

Again it did not work. I sent a letter to Mr. Phantaman and asked him to send to me his f1graphics file. I'll wait for his reply. Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks! With your f1graphics the foggy effect appears in a right way.
Later i will check which line exactly causing the problem in my own f1graphics file.
