Heello hello Everyone,

and welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you are all is doing fine and in good health. Just got my second shot of Vaccine yesterday. Luckily there are no reaction this time. When I got my first shot, I had high fever and shivering, but thankfully the fever was gone in a few hours. No fever this time, but I do feel that my body a little bit stiffer than usual when I woke up in the morning. But I dunno if it has anything to do with the vaccine.


Anyway, I'm sorry for the week delay of the test build. It was suppose to be released last week, but I made a stupid error when adjusting the physical mesh and had to trace back the changes. 

And so, here is the Test Build version 0.1.8 

And if you're using CSP version 1.6, please replace the config with this one.

There is a problem with the animation feature that are not available for CSP version 1.6 and sometime causing crashes

For this version, 99% of Cerda textures is done, and we can start moving to Collesano! yay!

Well, there are some buildings that are still missing doors and windows, but I will add them along the way.

Also, fixed a "bug" that won't allow us to do pit stop. The pit red box disappeared when we approach it. I did a test and it worked, so I hope the bug has been fixed.

The work with the LIDAR data still going. If I counted correctly, there should be around 2,400 parts left that need to be processed lol.


by the way, I've noticed that there are more and more 'free roam' tracks lately. The map is getting bigger and bigger, something that was unthinkable back in 2014 when AC forst came out. But I guess it's natural since pc hardware nowadays are far more powerful isn't it.

So we were discussing about new layout variation for this track. Something like a free roam, or basically a practice mode layout, since back then, practice was done during weekdays and open road, in traffic as well. So we thought, why not? 

we could also expand the track a bit in this practice layout, so we can access roads that are suppose to be closed during the raceday.

What do you guys think? :D

But of course, that is for later. we still have other priorities that need to be done.


As always, Thank you for your support, I hope you're all stay safe and healthy

until next time soon,

Cheers!

Thanks for another great build! It's good to see the building textures progressing.

I think more roads is a great idea! But let's definitely focus on the main track for now.

Thanks for the new build! And congratz for the second vaccination! Well, the last thing I could think about when someone is creating a freaking 70km (!) track is asking for more roads and freeroam layouts. :D But maybe you're right, why not?

It would be awesome to have a free practice mode with normal traffic on the road like in the old days.

Steve Rosswick

An additional layout with traffic for practice would be really interesting - I think a great idea!

Cam Bustion

Bro that sounds amazing, keep up the good work!!

James Metcalfe

Thank you for the update and good work getting your second shot after suffering a few side effects from the first. I think the additional roads is a great idea but sounds like classic project scope creep to me. Put the idea in the parking lot for now and focus on your original project first! But even more importantly it is your project, so it is entirely up to you to decide.

Matthew

Thank you for this most awesome update! And the free roam idea is most definitely someting amazing and to look forward to! Makes the map really feel alive.

Rodger Davies

Most important thing is our health so good news for your vaccine - thank you so much for persevering and another great build, I look forward to trying it out - on the 'more freedom' idea, I'd love a bit more freedom to go off the side of the track a bit more, without the invisible barriers - sometimes I judge a junction wrongly and it would be useful to take an 'escape road'. Not sure if this is possible - thanks again!

abulzz

indeed, the physical limit on the outside is definitely too close to the road at the moment. Let's start expanding them!

Jasper Opperman

Would absolutely love to have a freeroam version with as many roads open as possible. You have been doing amazing work and this track is one of the best quality tracks in AC and it is not even finished. Having this map as a freeroam would be like Forza Horizon with sim physics and I'm here for it. But since that all is a lot of work and more of a dream for now, a traffic layout for the track alone would be awesome.

G. Yam

Most of the FreeRoam tracks are circular routes with individual roads leading to nowhere and ending there. It would be really great if there were additional roads within the route. Right across the track. So that you can continue driving without turning.

Hello, thanx for the new build. You are really doing an outstanding job. I have been to sicily to do the Targa on my road bike. I was abolutely amazed when thought about sports cars racing on these tiny roads. I was doing the 108 km track which was used from 1919 to 1930. Today it is in a better state the the last used course of 78 km length. I know it is utopic but I would dream about this layout to come alive in AC. Thanx for your hard work. Please keep it up.

There is no grass on the ground in the new version of autumn.Can you add it?I like golden grass.

A freeroam version would be awesome, BTW, Thanks for this hard work, I just discovered this track which is WAY closer to the reality, even better than the one created for old sims. I wanted to buy you a beer for your hard work! enjoy it
