I assume that is just painted on? It looks decent, but that is one of the features I'd like to see for dirt is mud accumulating on the cars depending on the variables of how wet the dirt is, and how close you are behind people.

I also have been working on a list as I go and will get it typed up eventually.

The major problem I see as of now with the way the track deformation currently works (along with the things noted) is that the dirt that is eroded just disappears. Instead of it just going away, it needs to be able to be "moved" There also needs to be a variable, connected to the moisture content of the dirt. Wet dirt will get thrown in bigger clumps, while the dryer it gets, the less it moves, and in smaller particles. to the point where hard.

Actually, as long as we have more variables in types of dirt to work with, we can easily create our own "drying lines" with different layers. As the wet dirt gets worn away, you reveal a dryer  more compact layer of dirt.  Don't really see the need for actual "drying line"

Couple more

I have began the process of creating a dirt latemodel mod. I will probably put it in WRS and see how things go, but I fear it is a long ways away from release. I will not release publicly until there are several things done from PiBoSo. That has been my only hesitation in putting any time into the mod for WRS is to get a lot of time invested, and then those features never come. I have decided however that I will go ahead and start work on getting the car and tracks into WRS because some close friends and I have simulators that we can set up and run against each other in a LAN setting.

Although this may never be publicly released, I figured I would still share my development progress with you guys here. If PiBoSo does at some point work on proper features needed for a dirt sim, then I will release it at some point. It will include at least 1 latemodel chassis, and around 5-10 tracks. Everything will be laser scanned to ensure complete accuracy.

I was able to get some time with a brand new Rocket XR1 chassis last week and have started modeling based on the scan. Here are a few pictures of the scan.

And on the sprint car side of things, Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint cars are more wide spread with a national series and regional series throughout the country. I'm sure they went to WoO just because it's been around forever and they have a top tier Latemodel and Sprint Car series.

That's fine, I was planning on going after licensing with Lucas Oil Dirt Latemodel Series anyways! ;P

* WRS / MXB: investigation of a heightmap rendering error

Noticed this in the development updates. Could you please expand PIBOSO? I have noticed some HM's coming into the game a little strange. Not what is expected. Especially the way it rounds off slopes. Wondering if this might fix the issue.

I use the Clubsport pedals just fine. Although I am running them through the Fanatec Wheel Base as well. I do have a G27 I could try hooking up sometime to see if I can replicate the issue. Unless PiBoSo already has this on his known buglist.

I was in for about an hour or so and there were 7 or 8 at that time. Enough to make it pretty hectic out there...lol.

If you would like, I can do up some better tire textures to include with.

Nice work dude. Would love to have that Clausen skin!

Go Pathry go!!!

Holy crap, you guys ran some serious laps to black the whole thing out!!! LOL I haven't updated this in quite some time. In fact, I wasn't even sure that it still worked in the newer builds. I will work on getting an updated version with the deformation slowed down a bit.

Well, I moved across the country and am just getting settled in. I have been updating it a little and I lent Bruce Carroll use parts of my latemodel for RF1, and in exchange he is going to give me parts of his for my temporary model for WRS. I have also been working with another guy on a completely new dirt game he is working on, but a long ways to go there. I have been paying close attention to the testing Pib has been doing lately and hoping he can get the core crashes sorted out. If not, nobody is going to give WRS the time it deserves. If progress is made on that front, I will surely devote the time to proper dirt content.

Well I am still working on the graphical model for my mod but will begin physics soon. I would certainly be interested in the tools.
