OVAL by ZEPPELIN Uploaded for BETA testers >>> Watch your mailboxes guys !!!!

Impressive work Zeppelin. I cant wait to get my hands on this. I really like the banking. It looks so smooth. and so nice to not see disapearing textures like in my buggy Istanbul lol.

Schaller

you got that right aims20

btw Schaller I have a fix for your pitsop bug, but it may take a while to make it work properly because of the position of the pitlane, but it's a fix none-the-less

Cracking circuit, like everyone else i just cant wait for a wip download to test it.

Well a wip download depends on one thing atm...

DO PEOPLE WANT HI-RES TARMAC?

I'll take a poll and obviously, the one with the most votes wins

Sounds great Zeppelin. Take your time. I'd like to see this oval you're working on. I'm trying to understand how you did the banking. Was it manual, sector by sector. Very neat excernal/TV cams. I like the land mass you have used also. Did you do that with a land generator, export the obj to .3ds and import to GP43DEditor? Very neat work...

Salute

I think whatever tarmac is easiest for you, very good work indeed.

3ds max, took a while to get it even remotely smooth (it still looks like the Alps ) Manual banking, I've developed a knack recently for getting smooth results on banking (ie in the last couple of hours) and the tv cams are bigbrother's doing not mine

Both are easy to do, it just means that there will be one object for tarmac, not 64, and the same for the pitlane.

Quick point about the tarmac though, if you want hi-res there won't be any track markings...

I would go for NOT hi res tarmac then when there are no markings on the track. You surely need them when you are driving all the time above 300 km/h, the tarmac now is already great so only if you have a texture that allows markings on hi res track then i would go for the hi res tarmac!!!

Version in English:
Zeppelin excellent work, a lot interesting.
In some curves the car looks to fly, but I know that you should be working for solve this problem.
But congratulations by his work.
I twist for that be the first one of many ovals.

Versão em Português:
Zeppelin excelente trabalho, muito interessante.
Em algumas curvas o carro parece voar, mas sei que você deve estar trabalhando para solucionar este problema.
Mas parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Torço para que seja o primeiro de muitos ovais.

nice dude, great work

Flying cars: Fixed
Buggy Ads at start bridge: (not in video) Almost fixed
Sinking cars: Not much I can do but I'm working on it

As it is, I only really need crowds in (this will take a long time as I said eariler), and it is likely that they will cause a few problems, although I can't say how many yet, but it is reasonable to assume that there may be bugs to fix.

Most importantly... no ctd's!

that is sooo cool, great work, would i be possible to make a HUGE oval with really long staights to test top speeds?

the straights are long enough to test top speeds, trust me, my max in slip stream was 373 km/h, in the corners you get speeds of 320 km/h

Well a plan was to do a simple speed ring for people testing physics for future updates and stuff, similar to the german circuit with the two hairpins and the two super long straights, of course this would only be simple, ie just the track bits but I'm not sure if anyone else has done something similar for testing...

I'd also prefer visible track markings than hi-res tarmac. It's already looking great and track markings are impartant imo.

It looks like it's going to be a track with visible markings, I need to sort out the pitlane marking though as they stopped displaying after I put flags on...

An update for those still interested...

Added crowds which work fully, and have started adding ads to the rails (there is about 11), so hopefully, once the last bunch of bugs is fixed, v1 will be released for people to point out problem myself / bigbro / James have missed, or any possible improvements people want

Wot original track will this track replaced?

that will be hockenheim
