From the two pictures you have posted the track layout looks great almost identical, could you post some more screenshots if possible. Thanks Shock for making this, so far it's looking great.

I could probably email it to you what I have so far so you'll know what and where the billboards to paint are. And np, I was bored and figured if I started it and it went good without being bumpy I'd keep going. The AI is good, they rub the wall some out of four but are fast

That would be great, my email is dirtkartracing @gmail.com, then I can help with some feedback properly as I would be able to see the whole track. Thanks William

I have the track now, will let you know if it needs some changes to the basic place of things. Thanks William

Minor Changes so far



The billboards above in turn 2 should be the same size as the ones in turns 3-4. See picture below.



Also as I gather you haven’t finished the fences and other stuff like the infield the only thing I can see so far that in relation to the track itself that needs changing is it needs some banking as this track has a 1.2 meter camber (a slight banking something in between this and what is found at Bloomington). So far the hills look great and so do the grandstands.

Could it be possible to add names to the grandstands like in the track pictures I have posted? You have left a gap for this right?

Also below in turns 1-2 there is a gap in the track wall I presume you already know it is there and needs to be fixed up. So in relation to the track the only thing that could be improved is adding a little banking. Great work so far it is looking pretty realistic.



I will get to work on the billboards right now.

Thanks William

1. The billboards in turn 2 I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them the same size. I'll see if there are any leftover billboards on the track and try.

2. Fence and infield aren't done. Not sure how good the infield thing will turn out.

3. The banking is actually 8 degrees according to Rhino it just feels really flat. I already did quite a bit of alp so I'm not sure if I'll be able to change the banking now but I will try. 1.2 meters is like 4 feet I think which would make it seem very flat even though it looks like more in the pictures.

4. I'm gonna add the names to the grandstands.

I traced it on Google earth so shape size and object placement should be all very close

Great don't worry about the track banking then, so far it's looking great. Any chance you could add a scoreboard where it needs to go in turn 3-4 without it repeating if around the track. Like not use a billboard as this will repeat around the track.

Ya I plan to do that. I might have an alternate way of doing the banking. I will only raise it a couple degrees otherwise it might make it race funny and bumpy

ok sounds great if its too hard don't worry about the banking as the track is really racey now. So don't really worry about touching it.

Where do the race car haulers park? I am planning to do the scoreboard too of course. Do you have any close up pictures of it?

The race car hauler park outside the track behind the hills so you can't see them, I don't think I have any close ups of the scoreboard, but I will draw one up for you and send it through.

People also stand infront of the bridge. See image attached.

Is that an actual small grandstand in front of the bridge?

I changed the banking about 4 degrees, you won't hardly notice but it doesn't feel like it drops off at the top like it might have before. It's a little bumpy but no more than any other dtr2 track, just before it was like 100% smooth. I also found some billboards and made them usable on the thing in turn 2 so they are better now. Maybe a little to tall still for your taste but pretty comparable to the ones in turn 4. I put the fence in there in turn 1 because I was going to put a wall there to cover up that empty spot. That was on there at the original Eagle base so I havent got it patched just yet.

Yes it is a small grandstand for people from the pits to watch as in Australia our tracks are small so our pits are not in the centre of the track. Attached is some banner work I have been doing, seems like it is gonig to take a little longer than I expected.

All good, thanks I will try and find some more pictures of the track and post them.

Looks great. I worked hard so you can work hard lol and I know you will to get it sim for your simulator. And our tracks in Tennessee are too small also for the pits to be in the infield. Most tracks here are from 1/4 to 4/10 of a mile but unlike your tracks they are all high banked in east Tennessee

William can you paint the Mullet Bros 7 sign or w/e to go on the bridge? I'm gonna put it on there cause I can stretch better to be like the real one instead of the one that was originally Infogrames.

I currently am just working on the billboards separately then I will copy them onto the right billboards for the game so you can move them around all you want and I will just copy them into the right spots after. I think that will be easier.

looks good guys def looks fun to race

Here's an updated bridge picture.
