Belgium 1966 by ISI v2.0

[Guest Uff]

This is by far the oldest track in rFactor 2, and being tailored to rFactor 1 technology, it was already showing it’s age the day rFactor 2 went public. It’s also had a bit of a torrid history, with vegetation sources lost in a hard drive crash. It wasn’t a track we were particularly keen on revisiting, but because it is such a popular venue for the historic fanbase, it really did deserve some polishing – minus those vegetation meshes of course.

As usual with these v2.0 releases, we’ve cleaned it up and optimized it as much as possible, and implemented most of the latest technology. It may still be the oldest track in rFactor 2, but Belgium 1966 now wears its age rather well.

The oldest @rFactor2 track now looks a whole lot better than it used to do ...

Direi che Spa aveva decisamente bisogno di un bel lifting.
