Just had a look at the AI file and the track surfaces are very poorly mapped here and so I cant make an AI file where they will actually drive beyond the first turn due to this and they all retire. Sadly the guy making these tracks really doesnt put too much effort into them or learning how to do things properly so until he fixes that the Ai will be useless here. Also seen by holes in the track and other fairly poor conversion issues.

The track looks nice but thats more down to the guys that actually built the original track the conversions themselves and how they are implemented in AC is fairly poor here and most other tracks I have seen by this guy. Including some pretty dodgy credits to random people when many are ripped straight from codemasters and hes just converting another guys rip who really doesn't have any rights to the source.   :)

Updated Track released 0.9.7

http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/blackwood.2639/


Edit: Not sure if anyone cares but this version has issues with the grass for example on one exit if you touch the grass on the left after the first chicane the car stops and you have to go to the pits.

Are your servers down Wally? Or is it just "No Dicks" now and I can't see them? In that case I'm sure Marty can't see them either.

I'm just updating/taking a look at them now.

I will take another look at it, the pitlane speed lim8t means he has done some work on the surface settings. The actual AI fastline included was made by a real alien and has a good line. Just the surfaces being poorly mapped and also the file wasnt properly saved meant it couldnt work properly.

FUN server (Tatuus/Blackwood) is back up, and I'm on it. No freejoin, no booking.

Smooth as butter with 2 cars on track, anyway. And the drafting definitely works. Don't forget to upgrade to 0.97 of the track.

So far, nice and smooth. Replays are nice and smooth too, and smaller in filesize, so you'll probably get the whole race now. It's also smooth from other cars' viewpoints in the replay.

I'll be running this race on the big server. There's a server-side setting that controls how often the clients connected to the server are updated - 15 times per second by default. If my calculations are correct, I'll be able to increase this to 100 times per second, i.e. updating the clients about 6 times more frequently than the default setting. The server upload capacity I've measured is amazing - 68 MB/s! That's megabytes.
