60 LeMans GTR2 for GTR2 by philrob

System · 8 January 12, 15:55

My version of the track represents the 60s variant.Between 1932 until the end of 1967 the track was basically unchanged.
After some discussion on the Sim sites and looking at more footage i feel that the sand mound at the end of Arnarge was a smaller sand trap running along the track edge and the large mound was, if it existed further up the run off road.
No Armco is evident.

i released lemans 60 back in June for Rfactor its just taken me a long time to catch up with GTR2/GTL versions.

phil

PROGTMAX · 8 January 12, 19:38

GOOD WORK

BEST REGARD

mark7 · 8 January 12, 19:41

Absolutely superb!

Couple of laps in P&G with Porsche 906/8 amazing!
Had to double take when i thought i saw Micheal Delaneys early 911 parked up trackside, expected to see Steve Mcqueen laying in the middle of the track with a camera!

i know but the gtl and gtr2 version doesn't have the ford chicanes and rfactor do plus the driver ai is all messed up they barley move

Velo · 8 January 12, 21:18

Thanks for your work, atmosphere is really nice!

(...as the signs were new when racing in the 60s.

NEChris · 8 January 12, 21:39

Isn't it embarrassing to crash at low speed? And aren't high speed crashes much more entertaining?

philrob · 8 January 12, 23:25

Badbob,
i created the GTR2/GTL versions from my original Rfactor base track, this has no chicanes or armco.You can find it here:

http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=32607

If the AI are messed up in this Rfactor version, replace it with the GTR2 version and rename it, just to see if this improves things.

regards
phil

bullitt5435 · 8 January 12, 23:39

Fabulous! Huge improvement on the previous version. Many thanks.

You gotta luv it when all the cool old signs take your attention!

thanks

cotcodacel · 9 January 12, 09:09

streckensau · 9 January 12, 16:41

What a nice surprise - I am really looking forward to give the new old scenery a fast move on P+G this evening

Thank you so much for all your research done and the realisation for old faithful GTR2

Regards

brulaap · 10 January 12, 20:10

Hi Phil,
sorry to bother you, but I found that sometimes the sandtrap you mention ( After some discussion on the Sim sites and looking at more footage i feel that the sand mound at the end of Arnarge was a smaller sand trap running along the track edge and the large mound was, if it existed further up the run off road. ...) is not there ... Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Same goed for one of the grandstands across from the pits. The spectators are there (floating in the air) though.
I seem to remember I had the same problem with Sunalp2's 67_Lemans ?
Something wrong with my installation or has anybody else encountered this phenomenon ??
I have taken some screenshots which I can upload if need be.
Otherwise fabulous, very high FPS as well

Cheers,
Brulaap

bullitt5435 · 11 January 12, 14:14

I don't mean to whine, but really, what is the point of all that "quicksand" right next to the track? A lot of cars are difficult to control at top speed, and when a car gets into that stuff you can't drive out of it. Can that stuff just be eliminated from every track? Please.

brulaap · 11 January 12, 15:33

@ Bullitt5435:

I guess the keyword here is realism ...

philrob · 11 January 12, 16:11

Brulaap,

we found in testing that a certain car mod gave these problems, removal of 1 model of car from the pack cured it.It would be interesting to know what mod you are using and also if you have ran the track with other mods.

When you're playing the game, what really matters? Realism or drivability? And if you're going to play the realism card, if a car got 50 meters off the road, it may have crashed, but it did not fall into an endless abyss. And as to realism, some of the car mods are pathetically unrealistic. In the various F1 mods, 1988, 1993, 1994, and 1995, the Ferraris are shockingly fast, though they were not very competitive in those years. Also, in the P&G mod, the Ford GT's handle like oxcarts and have nothing close to their real top end of 220+.

brulaap · 12 January 12, 07:48

OK, let's agree to disagree, shall we ...

added:

brulaap · 13 January 12, 10:54

Hi Phil,
I tried the track with lots of other combinations of cars, but the problem keeps popping up in a random way.
I tried it in a plain vanilla GTR2 installation (the only addon being the 60_Lemans track) and the same problem is there as well.
I'm out of ideas on how the find the culprit

Hope you can find it somehow !
Cheers,
Brulaap

philrob · 13 January 12, 20:58

brulaap,

i hav'nt managed to find this problem yet, other than by running the cars i mentioned, which i assume are using a material name used by the track objects.I will try to track it down though.
