Lime Rock Park

Originally intended to be little more than a quick weekend project to implement the latest RealRoad and terrain shaders, this extensive update definitely deserves to carry the v2.0 version number.

Plenty of issues have been addressed, and virtually every object has been optimized for a smoother experience. Apart from those fixes, the rebalanced art provides a more detailed, natural and consistent look. As a little extra, we’ve placed some cones in the paddock for some R/C car action.

CHANGELOG (v1.43 -> v2.0)

NEW BITS
Updated roads, curbs and concrete to use Real Road Shader
Replaced trackside vehicles with more detailed ones
Replaced all sector timing lines
Redone all verges and fixed the most important mapping glitches
Redone groove mapping
Set new static reflection map position
Filled hills with more treelines
Applied new terrain shader and re-blended terrain
Applied vertex-based terrain shading (Radiosity + manual tweaking)
Added billboard weeds on terrain embankments
Added collision object for vehicles (hit at own risk)
Added crude –but effective– concrete wall to close off infield terrain gap
Added (lightweight) RC Layout
Increased number of pit spots
Included Test Team RealRoad Preset Pack
