Great job so far @Teddie!This is my first original track release. I've really wrestled with myself about posting it because I'm so self-critical. Not sure if it's any good, definitely not really finished. Constructive feedback is very welcome. Uploading to Race Department after a few days of you guys trying it out here on GTP. Thanks to Tyrone and Gutbomb for dealing with all my questions

Please let me know about any bugs.
To echo some earlier comments about the layout, it does feel a little like a test track/handling course at times with no real opportunity to stretch your legs, probably more suited to slower cars (like the Abarth 500s, perhaps). But instead of altering the current layouts why not keep them intact as the medium/short ribbons and add a third longer/faster variant that shares some of the corners? There's an opportunity afforded here to add a tunnel or bridge or overpass as well for a bit of variety. Just an idea.
A few other observations from this opinionated oaf:
Hardly any track assets cast shadows, which is pretty vital for grounding them and helping with a realistic look.
Desert environments can look extremely barren and bland (like deserts!) but can be broken up with rocks, scrub, bushes etc.
The Tannoy posts in front of the grandstands look too substantial for their purpose, like RSJs sunk into the ground rather than the more slimline Tannoy posts you have elsewhere on the track.
Check the scaling of some assets like bridge stairways - if these look too big and bulky it can look like they've just been grabbed from a 3D warehouse and airdropped in. Everything should look like it belongs.
Maybe add some more tree variation, especially some desert-specifc shrubbery?
The asphalt texture looks good but would be enhanced with a subtle groove and skidmarks in appropriate locations.
Reverse layouts are always nice on fictional tracks and add a lot more asphalt for relatively little work.
Again, great job so far! I'm sure you'll take these comments in the spirit with which they were delivered - I wouldn't have spent time replying if I didn't think the track had great potential to be even better and you had the skills to do it.

that worked an absolute treat! Now that I know how to correct the mirror orientation I can fix a few other cars that have the same issue..

Not sure I understand the question... all the stuff I'm using are local files, some came as .asc, others geotiff that I converted using QGIS. Also resized as necessary.

I knew the BLM thing would have come out now or then
@Masscot I could post it here but I won't update it on RD until Ilja allows changes to the mirror config file to be applied on the fly.
Basically I already made the changes for the app to flip mirrors (Masscot is using it) but, unlike the other mirrors related functions (move, pan, adjust fov...), the flip function isn't applied on-the-fly (needs to exit and relaunch the track) and I know a lot of people would - and will - complain

Any work on the 350z gets applauded by me - many thanks!
One thing that's always bugged me (not just on this car, but in general) is when a crappy low-res shared texture map includes textures for large assets, which then end up extremely pixellated. The 8-bit muddy door speakers on ALL of the various 350z mods are a case in point. These are like acid in the eyes for VR users.
Anyway, here's a new texture (using yours as a base, in case you tweaked the instruments?) to replace the interior_lod0.dds that adds improved door speakers. It's only a quick job, I did have a look for a BOSE speaker vector but couldn't find anything suitable. Use it if you like for any updates or it can be swapped out easily on a per-car basis by simply replacing the txDiffuse in CM Showroom. I guess it'll work for all 350z mods that use this model.

This is amazing. Only thing I kinda feel isn't an improvement is the leather ; it looks goofy at times - like a freshly painted wall which saw some rain ahah. Think you can revert to the previous texture ?
(new leather texture) :
Cheers (and thank you for this more than welcome update !)

For your first track, i have to say, very nice work!
Feedback for the flow of the track is already here. And i got problems in my first run in track day with the AI on 0.96.
Cars are stuck everywhere on the track, with AI flood activated.
As i am a graphics guy, at first i would match the colors of the ground with the trees a bit
and plant some little bushes all over the terrain.
I especially like all the little hills and the terrain itself, just nice!
Thank you Teddie, i guess there went away more than 100hours of work?!!
Now i go back on your track again!

Meant to post this yesterday in case it helps anyone with a similar issue as it seemed totally random with no obvious reason why it happened, so I guess it could happen to anyone at any time. Huge thanks to AlleyViper on the CSP discord troubleshooting channel for taking time out to help me, especially when he about to go out.
Problem: alterative CSP versions weren't displaying in Content Manager [SETTINGS/CUSTOM SHADERS PATCH/ABOUT AND UPDATES] so I couldn't freely swap between builds. Trying to manually install old versions failed and created error messages about two versions not being allowed.
Solution: hit 'DELETE PATCH' in [SETTINGS/CUSTOM SHADERS PATCH/ABOUT AND UPDATES] (your settings will be preserved), close/reopen CM and you should get a message "Configs for customs shaders patch are missing. Reinstall?".
This is where a further issue cropped up for me, nothing would happen when I hit 'yes please'. I checked the CM drop-down (top RHS of CM, the three little lines) and noticed that CM had caught an error:
On AlleyViper's advice I deleted the CONTENTS of the Patch folder (not the Patch folder, just its contents) at C:\Users\*your profile*\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager\Temporary\Patch
...then restarted CM and this allowed access for the contents to be downloaded and reinstalled.
Note: It might look like nothing's happening but if you check the Patch folder you can see it being repopulated.
Balance in the universe restored..!
Thanks again for your help AlleyViper, and to baker7498 for the earlier suggestion which formed step one of the solution.

Thank you!Really good job! It's Much better than the previous versions, but as you write it requires a lot of further work, not so much in terms of appearance as in terms of physics and details, maybe I can play with something on another model that I have
It's crazy to me that such an iconic car doesn't have a great mod. Maybe the model you have can make the difference

An update for @TheRealCeeBee´s last version.
After contacting him and send him my fixes he gived his Ok to post it. Thx @TheRealCeeBee for this and your work before.
Fixed the trees normals, fences have now visible through again, guard rails too, crowd on standstands visible from track now and some other minor issues ...
Tweaked the brightness of some materials.
Made a new vao-patch.
Thx @Fanapryde for his sections.ini what is now included too.
This track still needs imo better billboards by an new skin.
Backup your old one first if you don´t like it and want to bring old version back.

New camera set 1-2-3 (with 3 different FOV settings) + 3 alternative camera set (with different FOV too) by me
I also fixed the EXT_CONFIG where the grass was to bright for my personal taste (backup of the original one included)

@Mike Rudland is working on an Amuse 380RS Superleggera conversion from GT6 so that should be a massive step up from the base 370zs we have so far in AC. I think all the 3D work is done, it's just the physics being worked on now.Thank you!

Whatever you decide @Teddie , but I also do like the way the track is now and keeping this version. Makes a nice challenging club type track and I can do many of my cars I use on this track. I have done GT, F1, and some slower cars and seem to do fine for me. Track graphics look very good in VR. I see also this track would work good for Gokarts which I do. But this is my own opinion.

Hello @TheRealCeeBee Great that you are continuing to work on the track. Curious question on your pit stalls. Are they located on the track side of the pit building or behind the pit building. Usually back then on some Historic/Retro tracks the pit stalls were located right along side of the track.
Anyway, good luck with the track.

Unfortunately, yes.
This is the track I was testing. If it weren't because it's an Initial D track, I would've sent it straight to the bin...
It's funny because it's ripped straight from the official arcade game. It's not like the creator is protecting his own work by encrypting it
how does an encrypted track hurt you? should be thankful for the creators putting in effort to bring it to you in a good quality/ releasing it in the first place

Two sure signs that the modder is a rank amateur: the ffb is stronger than that of a WW2 tank and the sfx is louder than an Atlas Agena B at lift-off. Or, if a track (vs. a car), there will be zero road camber and there will always be at least one tunnel. Present company excepted.

Zero is a jolly good fellow.
My 1930 car collection is quite big now, time to race at Tripoli. Waiting for last touches at Tripoli.
