Not a snowball in hells chance. It is the new Scottish track. Isle of Man is impossible. If they can't make Spa original despite having the laser scan data for it because it would take to long what makes you think they could do that?
What makes you think they can't , I SAIAIAIAID IT COULD BE that doesn't mean it is Jesus .
It's a bike track. It will not happen. It is much to big a job to do. It's a massive track. They could laser scan 8 or more other tracks in the same space of time. They are a small 30 person team. The end.
I'm in love, 1:36.
That's what i thought too lol.My screen was dimmed when I first looked at the second screenshot of the new track, which made the road look like it was covered in snow while the dirty windscreen gave the impression of snowy precipitation. For a second I got more excited than I should.
Try it though, looks kinda cool when the brain is convinced. Anyway, Black Cat County begins to look like a rush job now.
Va-va-voom!
I never noticed her before. I just spun a couple of laps with my wingless Countach. The graphics are obviously yuck, but while driving that doesn't bother me much. The road surface wasn't as bad as I was remembering. Still, that track needs so much work. Even if you left the textures at that quality, there is still a ton of work needing to be done. But, it's not the worst mod I've ever driven. There are some real doozies out there! 
). Also keep in mind that this is a truncated version and only around 1/3 of the original length IIRC. All of the important corners are there though and the creator only shortened the straights and removed non-memorable kinks. Not accurate, but it's the best that we've got (and no one else has attempted this track so...unless you can make a better one, don't complain ).
Oh, it's totally driveable. It's obviously not a fully completed conversion, as you said, many spin outs or even small crashes result in falling through the side of the track mesh or getting stuck forcing you to start over. I ran several laps tonight, although I only finished a few. I rolled a Porsche 908 and crashed about 10 Countach's.For an rFactor conversion, it's surprisingly drivable. Some places need the road mesh improved though and your car can fall off the map if you hit barriers at a certain angle in some corners (which I've done multiple times
Speaking of the creator (Jim Pearson), it's sad that he won't be improving it anytime soon. He originally made it for GPL, but people converted it to other games without his permission and as a result he got fed up with the modding scene and left

I don't know anything at all about the Isle of Man layout. I've seen highlights and videos of bikes and cars screaming around some sections on YouTube and that's about it. Even with a shortened layout, this mod track is mighty impressive due to its size. It's really a shame for the community to lose a talented modder over an issue like this, but I can't blame original authors. They put in a tremendous amount of work to make these tracks. I would be mighty pissed off if I were the original creator as well.
Yes now you mention that was the guy JIM PEARSON ,he also did Dundrod for GPL great tracks to .For an rFactor conversion, it's surprisingly drivable.

Oh, I'd have to imagine so. I've had a few chats with people who have traveled thousands of miles to see motorcycle races there. They all said basically the same thing. Loud. Ridiculously fast. Seeing it up close, gives you a new appreciation for the sport.

I don't know if I'd want to go to something like that. If you're standing on the side of a road, waving your "I want to have your baby, Rossi!" sign - you see the bikes shoot past you like laser beams and it's quite a while before you see them come by you again. What's an average lap time for the TT? 18-19 minutes? Something like that, I prefer seeing on TV. Some of the helicopter shots are incredible.
Every one of those riders should be locked up in a mental institution!

Amazing really, It's great that he has a way to enjoy AC the way most of us can.Remember last week when some people were saying a sim isn't a true sim if someone can be competitive with a controller against wheel players? Check this dude out, talk about impressive! I'm going to be racing with him this weekend, can't wait to see how much faster he is than me!

Here's the video, in the description he talks about what he uses for controls. Mind boggling, and inspirational.
Wow, that's skill!Remember last week when some people were saying a sim isn't a true sim if someone can be competitive with a controller against wheel players? Check this dude out, talk about impressive! I'm going to be racing with him this weekend, can't wait to see how much faster he is than me!

Enjoys it like most of us can - like when he has that off around Pflanzgarten 2 and just shakes his head for 10 seconds in disgust. I'm like "I feelz ya bro."
Oh...if they would put a few jumbotrons up I would totally like to experience a race like that. You're exactly right, the sights, sounds and smells - there's nothing else like it. I don't think I would want to go otherwise, especially since motorbikes aren't exactly my thing...but hook it up nicely, and I'm down like Charlie Brown. 👍
