Thank you all for your support!

Our AGM (annual general meeting) is next Wednesday (February 11). It would be very cool to be able to show a video of the track then.

Wednesday is doable if i dont run into serious problems.
And Bob, it wont be a full length movie, more like a 3 minute trailer, this is the old one, which is quite out of date now. Smiley

Here it is, the current state of the virtual Mission Raceway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yySJz8nl-s

Especially the vegetation needs some work, the trees are not to my liking, the terrain texture now allows more freedom of editing, which still needs to be done, thats why the grass looks a bit odd.
Some buildings are still missing, for example the grandstands and race control are just placeholders, the drag strip is still non-existant... 

Its like building a race car, it needs some time Wink

DAMN Smiley That's awesome Peer.....So when are you coming here to drive the track and experience first hand, some "real personal" input? There's always a place to stay, watch some racing, eat VERY well, and what can I say about beverages? well....lets just say your mug won't ever be empty Wink. I think everyone that has been watching this mature to date would agree.  Congratulations!!!!!!

That is incredible!!!
It would be a great 'tool' to use with driver training.
One very small point; you would be penalized for putting '4 wheels over' the solid white line exiting turn 9 on to the main straight! Wink
(We are allowed 2 wheels only over the line) Sad.

Well, the first hand experience would definitely be awesome, but the first problem is to get there... flying from Frankfurt to Vancouver (and back) would be about 900€ (1200-1300 canadian dollar)... they even offer flights that take 36h, with a 21h stay in Dallas, TX, the 20h flight via Amsterdam looks a bit more comfortable.  Wink
The best thing for the virtual track then would propably be a track walk, armed with camera and notepad.  Roll Eyes

Shame on me with the white lines, i read that somewhere, but pushed a bit to hard on that lap, now that you say it... i propably could teach the game to give me a cut warning (and disqualify that lap time) if i run over it, but after the second warning, every following will be a stop and go penalty in the game. And in the game, you naturally push harder and go over the limit then in a real car, as a new car is just 2 mouse-clicks away (except in a race of course). So it would happen regularly, resulting in frustrated players.

Another of these compromises (that i am currently not really happy with) is the pit exit. As you can see, i only have traffic cones halfway from pit exit to turn 1, on the straight. But if i saw it right in the videos, you have them all the way up and into the first corner. I already have an idea how to prevent the players to just ignore and run them over, thats why i placed them like i did at the moment. Hadnt the time to test it yet.

Just wanted to update you what the virtual world is doing Smiley

Trees. Way to many trees, but now better looking ones. The grass is now also more to my liking, the state between the old (about 6 month) and new was visible in the latest trailer. I also made new tirestacks, even if nobody wants to see them to closely Smiley
Next will be some more of the buildings, i will see what i can get up with the pictures i already have.

And the tirestacks, old and new, you can also notice the corrects wall height, which was to large back then
