Track - https://mega.nz/#!y4xwmLDA!UbzF7TtAkBVufqgvNuRSjMfgy3Uetv2Cgmh5RCfc8WI

As much as I quite like this track layout I see no margin for error due to it being far too narrow imo for anything bigger than a go kart. I can see 1 accident nearly wiping out an entire field causing a pile-up. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
I'm sure the faster guys here at xgn will be hitting the low 1:50's, maybe lower..

Phil, the link to the track at Race Department is not working. Looks like it might be an uncredited rip.

Ok , what will we do, I could upload the track, but do we want to use an uncredited rip, personally doesn't worry me, but some it does :)
-
I'm happy just to use it if you upload it

With the greatest respect to the modders who give me/us chances to have fun racing online,
if there isn't a credited track,
it fits the series, I don't have a problem using it.
-
I can put it up an S3 bucket if needed.

Track is in first post

Thanks Bruce, I have it on dropbox but if that doesn't work I will take you up on the offer :)
-
Also, can everyone test this track for FPS issues? If it is causing performance problems we have a reserve track - Goodwood - somewhere in the UK I believe :)
-
I think the reserve track is a better choice, with respect to the modders.
This track's fps was rather low compared to all the others. My fps in assetto is anywhere from 80-130fps.
-
- Goodwood - somewhere in the UK I believe :)
oh yeah, that track! ;D
-
I tried putting goodwood up but cant make it work, get some error on the server saying car already in use
-
Goodwood works fine offline... not sure what it could be.
Oulton Park is a pretty badly made track, easy to fall right off the map.

What should i put up in the mean time
-
Gen track 1.
-
gentrack1 is up
-
Oob reckon they'll be fun at gentrack
-
Sorry, my Gentrack SenseTM was tingling. Did someone say Gentrack?
-
Oob reckon they'll be fun at gentrack
And no-one questions Oob. ;)
-
lol
-
Gentrack is British as well. In Middle Kingdom or Middle-earth I think.
-
As long as it's not the Middle East, or I'll have to practice CoD! :o
-
There's also Castle Hill and Cadwell Park if we need any further backup circuits
-
I did notice over ar A.R.S.E., they were using another version of Oulton Park, 3 courses. ~500mb dl.
Ill ask if we can use it...

Server is up with this version

and to complicate matters, Norbs at arse typed "Go for it"
Oulton Park 3 Layouts. S3 link (https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/flattops.bucket/AssettoCorsaTracks/outlon-park_3_layout.zip).
-
so this is a diff version altogether and I should use this one ?

so this is a diff version altogether and I should use this one ?
File size is exactly the same size , has to be the same version, does it not?
I have just downloaded S3 link one and I will see if I can connect to server.

You certainly know you are alive driving the escort at this track ! ;D

Anyone elses track map not displaying correctly?
-
I am having issues with the '3 layout' version of this track and went searching for a decent version. Finally found one in the Triple7 racing BTCC season mod pack. AI works, track map works and there's only 1 or 2 spots you can fall off the map unlike the other version.
I've been running it with 0 fps issues with 16ai cars.
Here it is uploaded to my aussie VPS - http://games.xrst.net.au/assetto/oulton_park%20v1.1.rar Roughly 500mb for the kn5 file, compared to 360mb for the other one.
If people could give it a go and report back whether it's better or worse and maybe we can use it instead of the problematic one.
-
This version is the 1.1 version of the track deleted from RaceDepartment. It works for me and is a better version. If you install both Oulton Park mods at the same time this one has 34 pit boxes.
-
I also think this is a better version with the added bonus of extra pit boxes, working AI and solid bollards at the chicanes.
-
Nice work insomniac.
-
So which track is it? The one in the first post or the last one posted by Insomniac? I'm currently downloading the latter hoping it's that one
-
i have the one with the 3 track in it running on the server a i didnt want to upset anyone using a ripped track
-
but atm I cannot practice as servers are not showing and I dont know how to single player :) and dont know the track
-
Bugger.... was hoping for some laps. Is it because the servers haven't been updated? I can updated mine and chuck the track up.
-
na its just all server are not showing in the server list

Well that sucks...
-
45 minutes and no reply from ac support.. shame

Dunno what they've done to the game but I just ran a few laps in single player at Imola and it's choppy as shit. I have v-sync on and was getting drops from 59fps to 29fps at certain parts of the track which are usually fine, and even when GPU was reporting 59fps it still just felt choppy.

I turned my Vsync to adaptive in the Nvidia control panel (with vsync on in-game), as I noticed the FPS would drop from 60 to 30 as well. I reckon they've changed something in the way Vsync works in AC.

Cheers wally. That was my guess too and was about to do the same thing, though with adaptive in the control panel shouldn't it be off in game?

Guess it overrides the in game v-sync as seems to work. Assume they've done something where if it drops to a certain level the cap it at 30.

They probably can't connect to the forums!!??

Anyone elses track map not displaying correctly?
Try deleting the two "map.png" and "map.ini" files and enter the track again. It will crash and then track should have a map.

Porsche broke AC. >:(

I ran some laps in the porsches at imola and all good. Vsync off and on, less tearing with vsync on @ 60hz but no choppiness. Maybe the 30fps thing is something for consoles?

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
-
as I have not had a chance to test yet, can someone let me know how many laps it should be for a sprint round
cheers
-
I only did a handful of laps but id say 12-15
-
I'd say 2min laps will be typical. Fast guys will probably get a few seconds lower.
-
I will miss the first Sprint tonight, but hope to be home in time fir the second.

Are we using the older 21 pit or newer v1.1 34 pit oulton park version?
-
the older 21 pit version

Just tried the track, goes to show even ripping from a laser scanned Iracing source it doesnt mean the quality will be much good if the guy ripping it has no real interest in making a quality track. It was kind of hard to recognize the track and it looks rather low polygon with squared off corners and curbing in sections, poor textures and overall looks and feels nothing like in Iracing or pcars. It looks more like something out of GPL finish wise and I tend to avoid those tracks as much as possible unless we get stuck with one on a tuesday.
It would be great if Kunos made an official scanned version of this track as this rip I think I will be deleting from my install. Id rather driver the track in Pcars then this version but I understand that many people dont mind crappy content. Me personally Id avoid such stuff with so many awesome official and scratch made mod tracks available.
Tracks such as Donnington, Bridgehampton, Riverside, Lucaring, Baskerville, VIR, Barbagallo, Paul ricard plus many Im sure I cant remember along with any official track Id much prefer to race in any season then tracks as poorly made as this one. However I dont race Thursdays much anyway and with this type of stuff id rather do laps at Nords if I had a free night anyway. I have no issues you guys running whatever you want on the Thursday server though even though its being hosted on my servers, also you guys have been getting a few turn up recently so it seems Im pretty much on my own chosing only to run on the better quality content. ;)
-
I have to agree marty, this track is craply made. v1.1 is a little better but still not up to scratch. I can see a lot of carnage going on tonight.
-
Do we want a fun run tonight of new silverstone and one of the new cars until we sort what track to use ?

Sounds like a good plan to me, (even if I may not make it.)
-

and as I have had no practice I am happy for a fun run :)
-
Yeh sounds good.

Server is up with tonights surprise, let me know if not any good,
also let me know if cant get in and I will take off MR and password the server while I add the guids to whitelist

Excellent choices :D
-
Executive decision
Oulton Park round turns into a Non Championship fun run Round.
The rest of the season stays the same dates.
Reason, If I delay the round by one week that takes us to 22 December for the final round and is probably not a good idea 3 days before christmas :)
-
Awh man, just spent the afternoon downloading AC updates and content for tonight. Then while online learning Oulton Park track server resets to another track I don't have :(
Kill me now please
-
When you say new cars does that mean i need to buy the porche pack?
-
yes and sorry Humper :(
-
Man thats 7 bucks out of my fanatec fund which is currently -$50 ;D
-
Sorry, I just assumed everyone would have the new pack, if anyone has another combo I should run that everyone would have suggest it please ;)
-
Holy Fuck!!!
Awesome combo. 8) 8) 8)
Didn't know we had old 'stone. ;)
-
Umm may I suggest a car change to the RSR instead of these bullets?
-
Looks like I might miss tonight, son has just returned from Bali and is around for tea.
-
Guys, I quite like the proposed format change for tonight. However, I think it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction on the quality of the Oulton Park mod. Not sure how many actually tried it but it seemed ok to me. Not great but would have been our usual fun combo for a Thursday. We've tried out worse! And it was only for one round.
-
I agree with Gratulin.
I've had no issues with Oulton Park at all.
Looks like the nKPro version ported.
Not the best graphically but still a cool track. 8)
BUT....
I REALLY wanna race the 917/30 @ old 'stone as well.... >:(
-
so revert back to Oulton park then ? I really dont mind , just running out of time
-

Means I and others will not have wasted practice time on this combo.

Ok Outon Park is back on, server will be up in a sec

Sory guys I wasnt suggesting to change format or anything just throwing in my 2c that I didnt want, Im not going to be there anyway and as I said you guys race whatever. I just would prefer better quality stuff and would more likely race if that was the case. But most Thursdays im not home anyway so if people like that sort of stuff and with some decent numbers it means they do. No reason to stop doing it if enough are into it, I was just saying with so many better tracks around unused to me at least it seems odd to choose something back from pre kunos type quality.

Well done Joe and Robin on race wins :) and welcome to the pitstop club :P
-
Well done Joe and Rob.
What a disastrous night, I couldn't get a lap together around here or v1.1 of the track lol
Car didn't feel right and couldn't come to grips with it at any stage... was hoping for the fun run haha but yeh just the worse racing from me, 2 lasts. :-[
-
Awesome fun as always with these cars. Got out in front and got a good lead, maybe 20 seconds or so, which was good as I spun off onto the grass it T1 on the last lap, but was just able to keep position after re-entering.
Starting last I got up to third in the second race but then my wife wanted me to take the baby from her so had to bail. These DNFs seem to be keeping me out of the top 5 though ;D

I turned my Vsync to adaptive in the Nvidia control panel (with vsync on in-game), as I noticed the FPS would drop from 60 to 30 as well. I reckon they've changed something in the way Vsync works in AC.
Just got this exact same issue in GTA V which is odd. Maybe it's a driver thing not a game thing. Highly recommend GTA on triples by the way.
-
Enjoyable even after my reservations about the track :)
Hope I did not cause your spin in race 2 Wally, Gawaterman braked a bit earlier than I expected. You seemed to have a difficult few races tonight!
-

No, that spin was all by myself, if I remember correctly. I spun twice there, locking the brakes on entry to the chicane and spinning off on to the grass. Pity, because I was having some good battles until then. But there was always someone to race with. In race 1 I had a side by side impact that sent me off into the wall with rooshooter after I passed him, but I haven't seen a replay so I don't know who might have been at fault there. I enjoyed the track. That far hairpin was pretty bumpy though.
-
Sorry I missed last night's races, was out
From.the reports a great night was had.
-
I also had a very enjoyable night, as Wally said there was always someone to race. Which begs the question why are some tracks
more conducive to close racing than others ?
Wally I think you will find in the replay that I moved into your racing line, at least in race 2 I recognised your car in the mirrors and let
you pass. Should there have been a blue flag on both occasions, I don't recall seeing one.
Looking forward to next week hoping it will be as much fun as this week :)
-
I think it's a combination of corners with passing opportunities, as well as chicanes. There were a couple of corners where you could definitely sneak up the inside if someone went a bit wide, and the slow chicanes bunch up the field, letting someone catch up to any pack a little easier.
I really like Oulton Park. A laser scanned AC version with all of the variations would be great.
-
The best part of the track is the tire barriers at the chicanes. No questions on whether you cutting the track not, If you make it through alive it was a valid line, if you dead then it obviously wasn't ;D
-
Sorry again for bumping you off the track Hornbag. I underestimated how much room I would need there.

Stefano said many times its his favourite track, supposedly the scan data is freely available too which is how pcars managed to get a scanned version of the track. Next on the list is Laguna Seca however and beyond that who knows what will the next track to be done by Kunos.
It would be great to get a good solid official version or even a much better done conversion. Not all rips are bad after all Bathurst is ripped from pcars and rf2 and its pretty much the same as its in thise games. This Oulton rip I think is a very old rip from Iracing, not sure how they did it but it isnt really close to the version it was ripped from.
Im not a big fan of ripped content, bot realpy because of the legality of it but because those doing rips rarely put much effort into it beyond just getting it ingame. THe better modders taking pride in their work will likely not rip tracks but a few guys have and made some good efforts like the stuff but Mitja Bonica and Tiago Lima plus a few others. They may have questionable sources for the base of their tracls but they put the effort in to make the tracks to as good a standard as they can even making their versions better then the original source.
Look at the early Snoopy Nords, I think original base was GPL but it had moved on through a few hands and got upgraded. its still a long way off the official scan but it was a great effort to where it was and continued work was put into it.
Many of these poor quick rips just look ugly and have issues, to make a track from Iracing look lime something out of GPL says something about the work put in.
-
Sorry again for bumping you off the track Hornbag. I underestimated how much room I would need there.
No worries mate, its all good
-
I had my usual slow start off the line, once I settled in I was stuck behind Seanus, I just couldn't pass him. I found that with most of the race, passing wasn't going to be easy. Most of my passes were made by others coming off or locking up. I held up Bacchulum for a bit, but let him through as my rear end started to get a bit loose, I didn't want to knock him off. I can't push this car too much using a joystick and I was trying to reserve my tyres which were in need of a change 3 laps from the finish line.
I'll go through the replay of race 1 either tonight or Saturday in preparation for the highlights video.
