Yeah he always did that for some of the pit boxes and I could never fix it. Thanks, I'll incorporate your change at some point!

great update for a great track. One thing: the pit guy is behind the car. It should be in front of the car. I´ve made a small correction to the AIW file (recorded the path behind the pits as "1st extension to pit path" and now the pit guy is on the right place. https://mega.nz/file/3t9CFBiK#toaaf2Qw8wRk4BXVp928EQMM3BwTDb0QYNPZT6CWZpQ

Thanks great track, also my local track.

I think your steam or game might be stuck somewhere between an update. Did you try unsubscribe and resubscribe? If that doesn't fix it I'll just put the old shader textures that I removed back in.

"Error getting stats for texture ASPHALT_MULT_.DDSError loading texture ASPHALT_MULT for material TRACK_A_WET."

and

"Error loading global material TRACK_A_WET".

They are the only two I get - I don't get mesh file errors like I said in my lat comment.
chickenDuck  [author] 1 Jun, 2020 @ 1:37am 
No idea. First thing I'd try is to unsubscribe and then resubscribe. Might have to start the game in between to get it to reinstall it. If that doesn't work I'll have to dig around, but I have not seen or heard any similar issues yet. Can you tell me the exact error messages?
RussianCamel 1 Jun, 2020 @ 12:43am 
Hey I haven't had a chance to give this track a go, because when loading up I get error messages saying it can't load the mesh files. This only happens to me on this track. Is there any idea what the problem is here? Cheers.

One of the best track mods. Great job. Thanks
Tom Stern 10 May, 2020 @ 3:31am 
Really good track. Thank you!

My home track! Cant wait for it to install , thank you for making this :D
Pavel Tcholakov 3 Apr, 2020 @ 11:58pm 
Hey, thanks for making this! Used to do track days at Big Z regularly and I loved re-living that experience :-) And thanks for the continued improvements, it's much appreciated!
Thabo Bester 29 Mar, 2020 @ 2:41pm 
Thanks chickenDuck! Do you do track days or race? I also have a ton of footage from my Golf Mk1 2.0 8v I used to race - did 1:14s with it. Currently race a Honda Vtec Turbo doing 1:10s at Z, so I have done my fair share of laps there over the years.
NBrembo 29 Mar, 2020 @ 6:44am 
wow we stay close to it in sa...gonna try
Manfredk2kpr 29 Mar, 2020 @ 1:22am 
what a nice little track. Looks and feels great. Loving the traffic outside the track. Well done, Sir
chickenDuck  [author] 28 Mar, 2020 @ 5:27am 
I'm with you on the curbs, I've started to fixed them up a bit.

Also on the bumps. The one at T4 has caused me to spin a few times :-) I've got tons of telemetry and video data, can probably make a good effort at including them with some time.

I'll try update it in a few days.
pienaarjacques65 28 Mar, 2020 @ 4:40am 
This is now the only track i race on. Thanks for great job
Thabo Bester 28 Mar, 2020 @ 4:26am 
Thanks! The track really is great to drive! I don't have the knowledge to convert it to AC, but I'm sure there must be someone willing and able! Someone?! :)

Christopher is right about the bump into T4. There is also a bump in T1 as you turn in in real which I don't find here. The kerbs in T4 and T5 and T6 can be a bit higher - on the inside. I generally don't ride them in real, so not an issue for me really.
Christopher Tarboton 28 Mar, 2020 @ 12:14am 
Great track, many thanks for it. A few issues, if I was being picky, would be the absence of the bump into T4, some of the curbing being too flat and perhaps the overall grippiness being too much. But its helluva nice and we thoroughly enjoy it.

Many thanks.
chickenDuck  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 2:19pm 
Awesome, thanks! There are a few things that need fixing up, any others that you notice let me know:

I'll redo trees and grass once they release the new shaders.

I also think it feels a bit faster than real-life... It's hard to get a baseline for that though, and there are other things that I haven't investigated fully that may affect this, like air density. Haven't put much effort into checking it all out yet. I sense a lockdown science project coming up...

The AI battle in some cars with turn 4. Not sure if the throttle issues with the game affect this at all, they're working on it.

A few vertices near the first and last turns don't get rained on either.

For now I'm just highly amused by the fact that I got it to (mostly) work :).

I've never bothered with AC, so I won't convert it. If someone else wants to they are welcome.
Thabo Bester 27 Mar, 2020 @ 9:16am 
Great mod! Very true representation of the track! Feels like I am there. It does have a bit too much grip in general it seems, as lap times are a bit fast, but everything feels and looks good!

Would it be a spectacular mission to convert this track to AC as well? Please?!
Dirtnz 25 Mar, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
Really nice track man, fun to drive and very highly detailed a great addition to the sim cheers for the time and effort putting this together.
Stevy 24 Mar, 2020 @ 3:29pm 
DId just a quick test drive, but great looking track.
Really nice details. On the first look on par with official content
pienaarjacques65 24 Mar, 2020 @ 3:03pm 
5 Star very nice track. Looking for Kyalami then all South African race tracks are in this sim GREAT GREAT JOB:steamhappy:
Heikki21 24 Mar, 2020 @ 12:06am 
A very nice track, which I didn't know. It's very well modeled with nice details :-) Thanks a lot.
