Probably going to end up with something like this for the grass. I took my best grass texture and layered it over the stock textures. Then I fooled with the opacity of my grass layer to keep a similar look to the original textures with the areas of dirt and burnt out grass. Still need to mess with saturation, depth of color and color balance. It looks a bit yellow on my end but that may be ppfilter related.That's looking good!

It's made by the track's author Johnr777 himselfWow, how did they pull that off?
Well I can't wait to see it in person.It's made by the track's author Johnr777 himself
Jesus Christ that looks amazing. Any chance of patreon and early release?!It's been a while since my last Pescara 57 payware post, but I've put hundreds of hours in since then! I've nearly done all the buildings now, having created the period buildings that dot the countryside between Villa Raspa, Case Frascone and Spoltore...

Then it'll be a case of filling in the background with some copy paste buildings, landscaping around the track (kerbs, pavements, fields etc) then populating with 3D props, trees, telegraph poles etc.
I'm aiming towards release around April, but if you've ever built a track you'll know that things sometimes take longer than expected!
Not only for Spa’66 but most published before 2020 vintage (=pre1971) tracks needs an update. These imperfections/faults are maybe not real visible on an monitor but do in VRmode. Perfect sample are those Gilles’75 conversions. I do hope one day a modder can take his hands on my personal favorite track Beez.I am using a track, folder name: spa1966.

I am hoping there is a better version out there. I can see a lot of work dedicated to a lot of obscure tracks, some are even fictional, so, surely, some attention must have been paid to such an iconic, historically relevant track, like Spa 66.
some of the blatant issues are that the cars are floating above the track surface in some curves, like hovercrafts, the road surface is abysmal trough FFB in some part of the track, in short, it need some TLC.
no solution for this, choose the least bad option for you. Im playing with smart shadows and weather overcast almost always...I know this isnt allowed, but I'm losing it, and this is only really "active" thread. So does anybody know why my shadow starts rendering from somewhere around the steering wheel? No shadows further back. Happens in OpenVR mode and OculusVr mode, but not in single screen mode...
it started when I turned off Smart shadow>custom shadow matrices. Need to have that settings off because of flickering shadows in vr

thanks! is there a link or something with all of your new configs?Well I can't wait to see it in person.
If someone gets some time, could they give this Spa 1966 mod a test run. Would like to get some feedback on the textures while I work on the flags tomorrow. That way I know what to adjust after i'm done with the flags. Things like what's too dark, what's too light. Too saturated, too blue or yellow? Stuff like that.
I'm already aware that the track edge texture doesn't quite match up with the grass next to it. I'm working on it. Also, the 3D trees are hidden. You can re-enable them at the bottom of the ext_config file. Just set the last two sections to ACTIVE = 1. Just so you know, they might look out of place while I work on their leaf textures. That's why I have them hidden.
Thanks as always...

Hello my friend, hope you're well!Jesus Christ that looks amazing. Any chance of patreon and early release?!
Launch one, I'll sub to it. You do fantastic work, I'm sure others would appreciate trying out beta versions until full release. Looking forward to the release 👍Hello my friend, hope you're well!
No, but perhaps for future works depending on level of interest and commercial viability - it would be a dream to be able to work full time on future projects: Livorno, San Remo, Bari, Perugia etc, and then the development timescales would be drastically reduced. It would be nice to have a moderate wage for doing so. I read one guy charges 50 euros per hour for commissions building tracks.
I'd be happy with a fifth of that..
I'll see how Pescara goes first..
I think the one by Nighteye is the best but that's my opinion. Give it a go see what you think.Which is the best TT Circuit Assen among the six in the Breathe's track list?
Thank you all for the replies and advice.Btw, for the vintage Spa track, there are a couple of improvements think these are being listed at the @Breathe track listing
only one that focuses on historic race cars is : Historic Sim Studio.I have a slight obsession with creating Le Mans grids would anyone be able to point me in the best direction of a patreon creator that caters to this the best? Which patreon accounts are worth signing up for?
Trees and surroundings, as usual.I guess you could say i'm altering it, but I don't look at it that way. It's not like i'm moving objects around or adding\removing things. I'm simply removing leaves from the trees so it looks more like late fall\winter should look. So the track is the same, it's just more realistic looking if you use seasonal changes. But again, I know he won't let me release this publically because he already asked that I don't change his textures. So in the end, it's no big deal.
Haven't looked at the track yet, but is there anything specific about it that you think needs changed?
I've had a bit of time to ponder this. And here is my take on it.That looks as stupid as it looks fun! I love it!
And I would love it even more if we could Ross Chastain' the whole track...
Will you share your combos (car/track/AI) of dirt oval one day ? Or did I miss something ?
I've only done a couple of tracks and the links are scattered around this forum. I don't have a place that lists them all. I should sign up for some free web hosting place and make a simple website that lists all my mods. Maybe i'll do that sometime this winter when i'm bored.thanks! is there a link or something with all of your new configs?
It depends on what you want. Which season of Le Mans do you like more? 30's? 50´s? 60´s?I have a slight obsession with creating Le Mans grids would anyone be able to point me in the best direction of a patreon creator that caters to this the best? Which patreon accounts are worth signing up for?
this is not ferrari? its an alpha romeo wheel not the ferrari one. how to fix??View attachment 1169106F175 Steering Wheel for the Ferrari Spec (rss_formula_hybrid_2022)Download F175 Steering Wheel RSSFH22 rar

The W13 Steering Wheel add-on is made for the rss_formula_hybrid_2022_s, but I though it was pretty clear since the other one is based on the F175. It doesn't make any sense to put the Mercedes steering wheel into a Ferrari chassis, but for people with weird taste it just take to change the kn5 name inside the ext_config.ini.
It's time for one "Alitalia" oldstyle liveryStill WIP but the Golf Mk1 Club Track will henceforth be known as the Golf Littlebird, because it chirps near the redline, and flies.

Nobody would (or should) get mad at you for just saying "no", you know, and i'm definitely not.I've had a bit of time to ponder this. And here is my take on it.
I learnt to convert stuff and am still learning. Already i need to go back to the start as there is so much I've picked up even in the short space of time.
I only wanted to learn to convert stuff so i could get things in the game that i wanted that no one else was doing.
There is so much stuff already out there and AC modding is such that because of the sheer volume and rate at which stuff comes out people have become very immune to what it would look like if there was no modding, even 'bad' modding.
I never wanted to set up patroens, or buy me a coffee stuff. I never wanted to see a name and get some feeling of achievement from it.
Just simply i wanted to do the stuff i wanted. With that said I won't be releasing any of the converted stuff, if i go back to altering existing mods i may share them if its worth it.
I use AC to race, to hot lap and to mess about at the back end doing converts and what not.
I have my rig set up in a way so much of the interior isn't on show so I can deal with back cockpits or whatever, i can blur out many things that people would be up in arms about, like for me i don't care if the drivers legs don't have a shadow or their feet don't move on the pedals.
That's isn't to say people shouldn't care, it simply means i don't so I'd be dammed if i was to start modding to keep other people happy.
So yeah, i won't release any of my converted stuff, in fairness its about 40 US dirt ovals and 12 UK Ovals and a bunch of dirt cars and random odds and ends, so I doubt it'll be any loss to anyone, even i went through a moment of questioning whyt i'm messing about with dirt ovals when i have iRacing, then on the rolling lap's before the start the other night some idiot intentionally kept ramming me for 2 rolling laps getting me penalties, then i rage quit iRacing and need to stay away for a month or so.
So yeah, long winded but just open and honest. If i stick to it and don't get bored i may get to a point where I'm totally confident in what i am doing and that is my only goal, but learning in the open and exposing yourself to people slagging stuff off because they miss utterly irrelevant guff or aren't a billionth GT3 car or whatever, or people wanting credit for a model they ripped from another game to put in rfactor etc, is a fast track to making you not enjoy it.
I also like the freedom to start something then leave it and on to something else, i couldn't deal with all the "but what about this" "could you add this" stuff.
There it is.
I don't think its unfair, although read reading it it may sound that way. Those that do it for money, or credit or 'coffee' or pats on the back do it for that reason, for them. The idea anything is really for the 'community' is a bit false IMO.
So I don't feel like I'm holding anything back, just the reason to release stuff isn't a driver.
I personally don't think hanging around on a modding thread and doing mods but not releasing them is as bad as it looks on paper.
I have converted 3 fictional tracks from GTR2. Details of the circuit can be found in the original link or readme_gtr2.
