- Original track made by <a href="https://www.overtake.gg/members/1117563/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1117563" data-username="@vastchapa1980">@vastchapa1980</a><br>
- Version "2.0" enhanced by me <b><u>and published under express permission by the original author.</u></b><br>
<br>
CHANGELOG for this version:<br>
<br>
- Only the 2 original layouts from GT.<br>
- Fixed the folder and model naming to lower-case to prevent data bugs/loss<br>
- Unified FX Config for both layouts<br>
- Updated track surface texture, specularity fixed, as well as the bug that made the car lights reflect with an offset to the left.<br>
- Fixed Hotlap start point and Starting Grid layout (proper traditional left/right instead of single file)<br>
- Complete lighting overhaul, added light points at the gantries.<br>
- RainFX implemented, GrassFX code simplified (the track has only one grass spot, on the statue hairpin, unreachable)<br>
- Removed animated objects and track-side trucks<br>
- Yellow bright "window" textures modified to glass material<br>
- Some texture tweaks on the road signs and boards (might try to up the resolution on some but UV mapping is very wonky)<br>
<br>
I did my best to try and update/improve the look and feel of this track where possible, and give it a little extra goodies.<br>
2 or 3 buildings give also a bit of specular reflection to imitate "glass architecture", and the former lit "solid yellow stripes" are now real glass, which in my opinion masks a lot better the simple nature of that track asset and give a better look overall.<br>
I hope you guys like it, it's not a "lilski-level" masterpiece (if you don't know who it is, you reaaaally should) as you all know, but it's made with love for sim-racing and the sim-racing community as well.<br>
