Ridge Motorsport Park Release Candidate
Added 2023-08-13 11:08:11 +0000 UTCHey, the work on Ridge continued and now it's ready for another release.
I'm releasing this on Patreon as a public release candidate, as I don't expect any more significant changes.

As usual with a project that was in it's early stages, and now is practically finished the changes are too many to list properly, so here's a breif summary.
The List:
- Separation of physical and visual track mesh, to allow for finer adjustments without re-doing the whole visual export every time.
- Addition of the new layout with the uphill chicane.
- Many, may track mesh changes.
- Optimisations to track fences mesh.
- flat kerbs no long ‘rumble’ when driven over.
- Added the water tank thing.
- Various other fixes.
- track surface grip increased by 1%
- fixed terrain clipping through kerbs.
- fixed t9 hole.
- added missing t9 kerbs.
- added mountains up to like 36km away or something.
- smoothed t1 entry for the alt layout.
- added the sections file for the B layout.
- fixed hole in terrain at the ridge complex.
- lowered kerb on the left at entry into t13.
- includes AI from @macko68.
- Includes 2D crowds using the images provided from @Kniker97.
- logos and sections from @Fanapryde.
- recalculated normals on kerbs that were showing depth (despite the models being flat-ish).
- Added the two flag poles (and bizzarely only one flag) at the entry to t13.
- Added the overgrown area on the right at entry to T13, with some smaller trees as the base, then @Mike08 grassFX to bulk it out.
- Added extra long grass onto the hill to the left following along with the s/f straight.
- Added the one main grandstand at t9/10 and then two smaller tiny things that I think are grand stands?
- two sets of Replay Cameras for each layout.
- Mountains now included in both layouts.
- Some materials changes, but nothing major.
- RainFX.
- Night Lights.
- VAO patches for both layouts.
- And lots of other things!

I've been enjoying them as they're essentially a balanced GT3 car with loads of different chasis chapes, which means close racing, even if the difference between cars physics isn't really expressed.
Comments
I just joined, and this was the first track I had to try out, since it's what I'm most familiar with in real life. I'm very impressed with how accurate this map is. If I had one piece of real world feedback it would be that I think there's some missing camber in turn 14. It feels like it's almost _off_ camber in this map, but in real life, if you stick to the inside of turn 14, you can really load up the suspension and get a _ton_ of grip. I don't know if I'm just not a good driver in AC, or if this is missing from this map. I think you can see this pretty well in one of my videos: https://youtu.be/l-jGAP2rjQk?t=92
