Base track update.

Post by Syhlif32 » 22 Jan 2022, 17:34

[External Link Removed for Guests]

An update to some of the base tracks of things that I have corrected or rather change on my install over the years.

Anderstorp 2007
Brands Hatch 2007
Brno 2007
Curitiba 2007
Estoril 2007
Imola 2007
Istanbul
Magny-Cours
Monza 2007
Oschersleben 2007
Pau
Porto
Puebla
Valencia 2007
Zandvoort 2007.

Changes made are:
1.Eliminate or at least limit the texture flickering.

2. Improving the road reflections. So have removed the special shadow shaders for track and track objects. Do not see any difference in fps?

3. Added some more animated spectators to some tracks.

4. changed the light settings  .GDB files in some cases to better fit morning and evening now we can set time in race 07.
kept is different to  the 2010 tracks just so they do not all look the same.

5. Removed the endless "RaceRoom ads'" and a few other toy like ads.

6. Changed some track shaders special on ads boards from No_lighting to Diffuse or Specular as they look so out of place with no light interactions.
Some tracks like Puebla most object was No_lighting so I think the entire track looks a lot better.

7. A few places I have corrected the textures used are made use of included bump and specular textures that were not used on objects.

8. Added flag animation to most tracks, just uses the textures from Gtr2 so it is only a light wind effect.

Changes are small and subtle. in some cases done over years so I hardly pay attention anymore.
Tested and used with the 4K sky textures uploaded with the dx9 GMT's. It will make a difference on the track lights. 

As it is mainly the GMT's it will also influence all the 2010 version but not all 2006 versions of tracks.

Feel free to use or misuse it as you want.
