Has anybody testet the upcoming Road Ontario track?
It is a wonderfull track with a great layout suiting my driving, BUT:
I had a big freeze offline with F2
Another strange thing is that I have the feeling as if I drive on tramway rails on some parts of the track,
there are a sudden side steps and strange jumping revs and stutters in the FFB wheel.
After testing with an F2 I tried to verify this with a MK4 and Porsche, what proofed it is the track.
The F2 and Porky are still driveable, but the MK4 is not driveable on this track without high risk of crashing!
What about switching to the new
Road Atlanta 71 to avoid troubles?
The rail feeling could be caused by traces, lines drawn along the track in GPL which define height. A trace uses a mathematical equation along the track resulting in a smooth ride, however, I don't believe there are any equations across the track, between various traces. As a result, if the difference of one trace height compared to the next is too big, grooves will form on the track surface which can upset the car. That is why most track makers choose not to include road crowning features in their track. The abridged isle of man track does have crowning and has resulted in some grooves in the track, particularly the right hand corner after the highest point of the track. Also, Björn Finnestadt intentionally put some grooves in some of his track, for instance to replicate the wear and tear of a dual carriageway he has in one of his tracks.
