Sorry, and thanks .......Hez.

I've had a blast racing here today. Braking into the single cambered lane, trying to avoid the cones, then making the turn without hitting the kerb, is a rush. Thanks again. Just raced the AI and after 4-5 laps they all drove in single file and slowed down. I was using the 65 mod and set the AI in GEM to 1.35 to try and slow them down a bit. Leadeders were doing 2:10s. My best is 2:15 so far. Is there a simple adjustment I can make to keep them from falling asleep? Thanks.

Hi!

Just did some (a lot of) hotlaps with the 65ers. What a blast it is. Very well done. Hotlaping this track is the right relief after trundling home in rush-hour traffic jam!

Thank you for your work.

Thanks, Bear, I really enjoy this one. It´s one of those tracks that keep you doing "just one more lap". Oh boy, you must have taken hundreds or thousands of digital photos for it. I wonder what the nice people of Randaberg thought when you took all those photos. But it really was worth it, it´s a lovely track. Greetings to the beautiful lady on the trackside!

Hey, look at what I found on Google Earth!

Hi Bjørn !

Many thanks for this nice track. It is a real track and a real adventure.

I dl the track some days back and must reduce some mips with WINMIP2 to fit it for my stoneold Vodoo5 5500 (max. mip-size 256 x 256). Today i have enough time for get it ready and testing. I test it with one 67er car. Running fine.

By checking all files in the *.dat i found the "groove.mip" have too many subimages. I hope this will not harm anything. For me, i make a correction on "groove.mip" with the normal number of subimages.

Greetings

Achim

The 65's and 66's are very fast. The track-ini's for them is compensated at bit but not enough maybe. Anyway slowing the top speed can be better here, just skrew down a bit at «dlong_speed_maximum =» and then you can slipstrem them easy on the straights.

I have never seen the AI's falling asleep, exept if one car has problems, the other car's not always willing to pass at ones. I'm very happy for the AI's handling at this track where it normal is the most difficult part of the track making. There is flags in the LP-file I think this is right set, but if somebody can see why the AI don't passing so easy on the straights I'm grateful (maybe it's the narrow width?). Note they are set to don't pass in many sections to avoid they crash out.

Yes this is exactly what happens. I raced them again last night and all the leaders got held up by a slower car, refusing to pass. Other than that, their behavior is awesome and a blast with the added tow. If I can "tune" all the cars right, I can probably elimate this problem. Thanks.

The cambered roads make this a very challenging circuit. Awesome job.

Cheers,

Will

Interesting and challenging circuit Bjorn, thanks! Just a couple of problems for me:

[1] No track map when you're actually at the circuit. I've attached a revised "event.pbf" which has the track map, try it and see if you like it. (As usual, just put the file into the track directory.)

[2] Drivers need to be very careful when approaching the tricky bend at the SE corner of the circuit. From a fast straight, you go under a bridge, then enter a very narrow section immediately before a sharp right turn. Heavy braking is required, but if you get it wrong and spin out, your car is often catapulted high into the air, and then you get a CTD which loses all your lap times. Caution required! Maybe I should revise my "Kamikaze" hotlapping style!

There is a «disable AI limp back to pits» knob in GEM. I don't know it helps but did some 65-races

The new feature where stops flying cars implemented :yeah: (just joking)
A tricky braking zone it is. Thanks for the map anytime waiting for the Bapoms...



Nice to hear all the comments . Now when Randaberg is finished, I want to progress a really mountain circuit constructed 1839-44 where was part of the Rally Monte Carlo in the 30's and had demanding challenges in more than 25 % gradient and hairpins . The return is todays highway where the trace was railway before 1945. The track length is 13.1 km, well too much and I don't know how the GPL format can handle it , there is only one way to find it out... -and the name is Tronaasen.

Thank You. Excellent Track.

I'm surprised to find that so far, I'm the only person in the world to have given this track a score at the GPL Track Database! If you've downloaded the track, and you like it (or even if you don't!), please remember to go back to the GPLTD and give it your vote! And the same goes for any other tracks you might have tried recently - give the track-makers some feedback and encouragement!
