Graphics Progress Report: Westhill
Hello Racers,

For this month's progress report we will show you some images of the updated Westhill track.

As Westhill is one one of our more modern track areas, it didn't need to be reworked as heavily as some of the others.

Textures have been updated to take advantage of the new lighting system, new 3D kerbs have been added and there are various scenery updates around the track.

Read the whole report on the Graphics Progress Report: Westhill page.

Looks good, can't wait..
Can't? Well you must. LOL
Looking good , good job Scavier

They keep the best for last.

Kyoto
Fern Bay
South City

btw seeing those tents and flags at each track update.
Is it possible to add those to the autocross editor, within a new list named: Scenery objects

With this i think the objectlimit need to be increased.

EDIT:
another question:
if i make a box with concrete slabs, will it be pitch black inside?
Ohhhhhh that's nice~ 3 left~
Assuming each track takes about a month (or a bit more), then the last 3 tracks will be finished within 3-4 months. Does this mean we might see an official update within 4-5 months?

I'm getting old here Big grin
That time again...

0.6T ("before") shots are all done in open config, so there are some missing objects. Might go through and update with the right track configs if I get time later.
Great !! Thumbs up
Westhill rocks Big grin
Looks really great Smile


Just wondering ... How is progress going on tyre physics?
Yes! It looks amazing, I can't wait to make a video with the new graphics! Heart
So... Westhill was not so many work as the other currently Tracks... Any Chance that the next Progress Report comes earlier? Big grin

The new road path looks amazing as well as the shadows. Nice work boys!
Nice to see things go on. Next reports will be the most juicy ones (hope so)! Thanks again @Degats very handy to compare what has changed. Hmm...so many tents on those areas which have been used in many autocross layouts...

Thanks Smile

Those tents won't show up in open config, so won't be a problem for layouts. There are already some tents, trucks etc that only exist in some standard configs and not open.
The next tracks especially south city will need far more time but I am relatively optimistic we do not see the tracks in the order most of the work on it has been done.
Meaning a lot of the missing tracks is hopefully already done.
For the kerbs, are they just new visual appointments or have they been reworked in terms of structure? Will it be possible still to "catch" the car on the kerb edge and fling it around violently (e.g right hander at Westhill bridge near paddock, Kyoto infield kerb),

And also, will the flipping cars thing be fixed with these new kerbs? Would the FXR still roll over like a leaf when mounting a low kerb?

We don't know that. Maybe they further with progress and could show more Shrug
Amazing !!
Now there are only a few good races left in him, maybe not a reason for the return of great teams and old communities to LiveForSpeed CoolHeart

Well since the autocross progress report was made, Christmas and New Years have happened, so I'm surprised this report wasn't delayed a bit.
Will all roads be united
All the roads will unite? Does anyone have information , Like X and Y
Quote from harun940 :All the roads will unite? Does anyone have information , Like X and Y

Not for demo users.
I like the new look, especially the road behind the pits with the more detailed cliff! Smile

When looking at the race start screenshot, it looked like there was a lot more AI cars than usual. I made a (very ugly) blend between a single player race with the max 24 AIs and the screenshot provided, and it looks like it can go up to ~40? You can see the coloured cars at the back go further than the white cars I used.

Maybe they were on a multiplayer server at that time?
