2015 GTP Endurance Series: General Discussion

[rcb929]

Is it possible to postpone the race if the update is large enough? Curious.

I don't think the update would affect the next upcoming race unless it somehow affects online in a bad way. I think we should finish the season with the races we have and see how the update could affect the 2016 season.

There will be no change to the schedules for Rounds 22, 23, or 24.

For those taking part in Round 22 this weekend, please remember to update your game well before you are due to join a lobby.

For those wondering why the provisional 2016 calendar was looking a bit short, particularly for the GT side, you now know why.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT

 

[Pubs16]

5.5kms, I don't think it's a track I know... lol

[FutureF1]

Estoril confirmed for preseason testing 2016?

It's a shame I messed up on the scaling, but I'm very happy with this one!

 

[rcb929]

Predictions for @AJ's next batch of tracks;

Sao Paolo
COTA
Watkins Glen

Anyone else wanna play this game?

Scaling and corner radii are critical. As elevation change and variable track width is not included in 1.0, scaling has to be skewed to compensate and maintain track length otherwise you end up with track that are much longer than they should be. The easiest tracks to recreate at the moment are very flat ones with green rural surroundings, Hockenheim for example. Carlos Place and the Glen were hopeless. Elkhart Lake was doable with some compensation.

Yeah exactly. Imola is not over 8km long but that's what I got. It's still enjoyable, but I aim to get as close as I can with Magny Cours.

 

[StigsTC]

Seems the minimum radius of a corner is quite large making hairpins relatively difficult to pull off.
To an extent this appears to be true for chicanes as well. I'm looking forward to see what AJ comes up with and uses in the series.

Using a image overlay is great you can get the basic track layout down easy and then fine tune it.
Scale and track width are the biggest issues but once you get your head round it , it's great

 

[littleregret265]

I envy those of you enjoying it right now... I'm still busy waiting on it to release.

herp derp

Biggest issues are track widths and scaling. Barcelona is near impossible because of track widths.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

 

[StigsTC]

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Art. Magic. Brilliance.
Or something resembling Frankenstein's Monster. Guess we have to drive it to find out!

My efforts so far, needs some tweaking, and better curb placement, but close enough for a first attempt.

Here is the real one for reference as I'm guessing a lot of people outside the UK won't recognise Snetterton.

Recognise it's one of few tracks I've taken my car on a track day too.
And the only track that my tow straps were put to the test after after dumping it in the kitty litter on the entrance to brundle

 

[gtpcaine]

Haha oh dear. I've also done a track day there, but no drama for me... but then again, it was only a 1.8lt Focus!

Finally get to race this in GT! Working on my 3rd edit so far. Version 0.2 is shared currently.

 

[Chrisw265]

All these posts about the track maker and I'm just here like, "I can't find my tablet's charging cable..."

It's really cool to see all of the track designs come together! Keep it going!

Awesome man, can't wait to try it tonight. Our local track.👍

I can't wait for you to get it perfected. I've already downloaded v 0.2 and am looking forward to trying it out this weekend. 👍

 

[littleregret265]

I've been wondering if it was possible to do Sonoma, but I feel that it's not really possible because of the start/finish. Anyone else have luck with this?
