WIP - Dijon "Turn #4" Surface Rebuild Test.

[Hawk]

Hi guys.

I'm doing a test track surface rebuild on turn #4 of the Dijon circuit.
This turn is giving riders some problems and we don't know if it's the track surface at fault or the physics, so we are just going to see if we can sort this out. Progress will be posted here. Thanks.

wOOt !

Can't wait to test this !!

MaX.

P.S.
As predicted, you'll end up resurfacing the entire GPB track library, except Victoria. Maybe.

Lol.... It shouldn't be long Max... Just got to export it and put it through TrackED. Go have a beer.

nice, that was/is a problamtic corner indeed.

Finished my beer just say when

Lol.... Go have another couple and then I'll see you on track... You drink "Quarts" in Germany, don't you? Hehe

Anyone know how to move the TrackED centreline straight section marker laterally across the track to help line up the straight line, it's a real pain to have to get the previous corner centreline adjusted to give a whole straight line centre section over a whole straight when you cannot move the marker laterally to line it up?

Great work Hawk_UK lets hope for a positive result.

You can move only the entire centerline or rebuild it(not much time). To move it entirely select the first centerline section and all will move as one object. But why do you need to move centerline? I dont understand.

[Hawk]

Sorry guys.... I've got visitors... It'll either be later(early morning) or tomorrow.

Priorities first I'm afraid....

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but it's not very important if two consecutive straight centerline segments that could be perfectly aligned are not.

@Hawk_UK I'm not a 3DS Max expert but I wonder what do you exactly do. Do you make a subdivide and then a mesh smooth or what? Could you please share some knowledge?

[Davide74]

work is appreciated but the curve has its grace as was.

[Alibaskins]

Nice to try to do better

This turn isn't very easy in real life too in fact. So i think gp-bikes physics is amplifiing the not perfect grip on this turn...

Hi Guys.
Seems I'm having trouble exporting this track file this morning.....

I've had this file exporting for nearly an hour now and still not finished..... Has the exporter programme hung? I don't know because there is no error message or progress meter to tell what it's doing?? A progress meter combined with notes to tell you what it's doing when it's doing it would be a big plus if exporting some tracks takes this long Piboso. 

So a question: How long does this track file usually take to export a .map file with no shadows or super sampling? Anyone know?

This is all I see after 1 hour. No indication of it's progress or whether it's hung or stopped at all.
