Update build alpha v.0.1.22
🕑 Added 2023-01-09 01:47:33 +0000 UTChello hello everyone,
and welcome back to Targa Florio!
and of course, I wish you a very Happy New Year! Please excuse the late greetings! XD
Now that I'm sobered up, I finally able to think of what should I write for the first post of this year!
jk, I didn't get drunk at all. How on earth can someone get drunk just from 4 slices of pizza and a coke lol
I hope you guys had a much more exciting NYE than I was hahaha
But that's just how I normally spent my NYE. Lazying around, eating, watching movies and sleep. I think it's been a decade since I last celebrate NYE outside the house :D
well enough with the sad stories! :P
here is the update version 0.1.22
- Deleted some buildings at Collesano, will replace some of them with smaller ones.
- Closed the gap around the new landscape mesh (WIP)
- added temporary crowds from floriopolis to cerda. Still need some adjustment regarding sparse crowd areas and dense ones, and later need to make sure that no crowds standing inside a tree XD. They will be replaced with 70s crowds later on
And since this is the beginning of the year, I want to share a few things about my target and plans for this year.
First of all, finishing all the buildings at Collesano and some other buildings scattered at some places.
When it's done, we can take off that "alpha" status and work on details, features, traffic, etc.
But the biggest work ahead is about processing the new data. We got photogrammetry, higher resolution landscape mesh, LIDAR, new footage etc. also We now have an idea on how to update the track without destroying the current one lol.
Although we still had issues with processing the data, but we will definitely get it done!
There are still a long way to get to what we envisioned about this track. But one thing for sure, we never want to prolong this project more than necessary. If we can finish it by yesterday, we would have done so lol.
But getting it done right is the ultimate goal. Now that we have the data we need, "all that's left" is putting them together.
oh and please do join our channel on discord! chat or share your lap record and pics around the track as well!
well that's about it for this time. I hope you all stay well and healthy!
Thank you for all your support,
Abulzz

I support idea of version of track without crowds for sake of just roaming.

I drove the track for the first time yesterday for a live stream - and wow, what a project this is! A monumental effort, but definitely worth it, I'd say. The moving train was a nice surprise, and the scenery is beautiful already - not that there is much time to marvel at it if you want to stay on track 😄 Fell through the map in a couple of spots, but that's minor anyway. Definitely caught the bug of trying to always get better at this circuit! In case anyone wants to watch the VOD of the stream, here you go: https://simracing.link/yt-ac-targa-stream
