Test Build Alpha v.0.1.9
🕑 Added 2021-11-03 03:14:37 +0000 UTCHello hello everyone,
And Welcome back to Targa Florio!
I hope you all are doing well and healthy.
First of all, I'm really, really sorry for the delay of the update. Things hasn't been too friendly with me lately.
at the end of last month I was bedridden for 5 days. I was tested negative so they said the cause was most likely due to exhaustion. But I'm recovering well, so all good on that side.
This month, I quit my job. Might not sound like a wise decision in this uncertain times, but clinging to the company doesn't make any sense anymore.
Looking at the bright side, I will have more time to work on Targa Florio now hahaha. Between the time spent to look for a new job or project of course.
There are some other problems as well that needs to be resolved, but I will share it with you guys some other time.
But in the meanwhile,
here is the Targa Florio build v.0.1.9
and the config without train animation if you're having crash problem loading the track

Recently I think a lot about the state of the track, and where to begin improving it, in many aspects.
Improving the building's visual, for example. CSP has Vertex Ambient Occlusion and if done correctly it would improve the track's visual. But What I was looking for is more like a ambient occlusion that being used in forza or gran turismo. basically baking another layer of AO textures on top of the albedo texture. But this require a second channel UV which is either not supported by assetto corsa or I just haven't found a workaround yet.
I'm gonna need to experiment on this some more. I do have some promising result, so we'll see :D
Improving the landscape visual is also another matter, but I will put that aside for now and focus on the task at hand, which is completing the building's textures.
as always, Thank you for all your support. It really, really means a lot to me.
I hope you all stay safe and healthy. Don't forget to drink enough water and workout once in a while! :D
Catch you guys again soon!

It's only a "delay" if there's a date - I didn't realise there was one! Takes a lot of bravery to take a step back from a job, even if it's the wrong one, but you're clearly a talented guy, so hope you get to find one that's right for you. All the best with the recovery and thanks so much for the update, I look forward to checking it out :)

Thanks for the update. Don't worry about going quiet last month, this is a long term project and the way it has progressed this year so far has been very impressive. Best of luck with the job hunt, and take care!
thanks for the update and take care of yourself.

Hey, don't be sorry for the delay, we know you're giving the best you can! For that AO thingy you could contact Ilja, maybe he could implement that second UV channel or help you with the workaround! Also, stay healthy and safe, and give yourself a rest when you need to! Good luck with looking for a new job! We are often afraid of change, but in the end you won't regret it, believe me! Greetings from Augsburg, Germany! Moritz ;D
