[BETA] Blackhawk Farms Raceway

[Phathry25]

First track here, just wanted to make sure there are no more major issues I can't fix at this point. 

If you see any issues please point them out, I'd like to get them fixed.  I know the trees are terrible, not sure where I went wrong with them, but I'm not interested in redoing those bastards!    If you know where I went wrong speak up and I will worry about those next time..  Tell me where it sucks everywhere else though.



Thanks!

looks great man.. just needs blue sky 

[Phathry25]

Is this your way of saying the skies aren't working for you?  Using the same PKZ I posted they work for me.

BOB he might be making the track for UK users so we dont know what a blue sky looks like!!!!!!!!!!

Is the picture/download link combo fooling you guys?

It's should be pretty clear weather the skies are working in the game or not.

  A local track??? Holy shit you are the man! 


I literally live an hour north of BHF, been wishing for this or Road America for years. Seems most of the members here on the forum are from other parts of the world so my little slice of moto heaven is rarely represented. Gonna have a thousand laps here in no time. Thanks so much for the effort!



I take it your one of the MX Sim guys that came over due to MX Bikes? Good to see you on GP Bikes, we need more modders and track makers. 




*Edit*

Just did a few laps, first one completely blind and was hitting all the regular lines on a GSXR600. This track is well represented and visually just as bland as real life. Awesome work! Going to be spending a bit of time on this one trying to get down into realistically fast territory and hopefully do some virtual track days with my brother.

No, I've been around here much longer than MX Bikes, like since the beginning.  Just always kept to myself.  But I am an MX Sim guy too.

Don't try to match lap times, notice I said...

no more major issues

Yea, the first one was me realizing after I built everything that I was 10-15% under scale.  So you should beat yourself pretty easily in the game.  This is what spurred me to double check my work, otherwise I'm not a fan of beta's, they really muddy the waters.... But just to be sure I figured what the heck.  Then I found out there is LIDAR data for the area the track is in today too.  So yea, time to start over. LOL.

There really needs to be a track editing forum here, I have so many questions and no place to ask them.  Unless I want to register for another forum...  I mean I play KRP too, but holy crap that forum is filled with conceded cry babies, I don't think they would like me at all.  LOL.

Conceded crybabies seem to be what makes up 75% of the internet anyway. 



Even off scale slightly my laps are rewarding and fun, I'm not interested in perfect replica laps, just that getting into the range of what the faster control riders are turning at track days is mainly my ideal lap, even if it's not spot on, it still gives an idea of how fast they are really moving. For a tight, small circuit it is truly a gem to have on GP Bikes. The day before this was released I was playing around on the KX450F (on beta6  ) at a kart track thinking to myself how cool it would be to run BFR on it. And here we are.

I got my brother over here and using the controller I built he was smiling like I've never seen before. I think he's gonna schedule a few track days for his new 250 flat tracker build for BFR next season and I'll hopefully have some new helmet cam footage from him doing his best to push the limits. Like said, even off scale slightly doesn't hurt the mental part of seeing every inch of the track and making adjustments accordingly to your riding.



Thanks again for this release, I'm off to run some more laps while I have my morning coffee.
