All of this plus the curb i guess in turn 4 into pits it can throw you ( lifts car but not in normal way )

once the warm-up event has started I will check the replays for the reported issues and see if they can be fixed. Revisiting a track by 3D designer after beta testing is always a timeconsuming (expensive) matter...

Posted by: Jimmy Flack (US) on 6.11.2024 22:40:14 (UTC) First problem: The 1/8th Spec Truck seems to be down in the track visionally, the front bumper below track surface. I'm not sure of others yet. Problem 2: I got a wall warp on front straight at end of old pit road and start of the blue checkers. one time so far, purposely ran there and didn't get anything. Speed sensitive thing close to the wall there. Basically the same thing that happens at Melzo oval at the end of pit lane wall. Third problem is KNOWN for all the Bamberg tracks, the Perfect line spinout in the middle to exit of turn 1 and 2, banked Right Corners from drivers stand. I would like this fixed on all the Bamberg tracks. Run the perfect corner and spinout is very disheartening. The driver stand(ROSTRUM) could be pushed back a little from the track and a little higher and pushed to the right some. But it is useable as is. That all I've found so far.


the front bumper issue is related to a lightmap issue, adjusted to reduce flickering at the far left. Not much can be done unless redoing the whole track.

I have seen the times you have set on this oval, and they are very fast. I have also noticed that you have made some mistakes that have ruined your overall times for the race. It is clear that we cannot manage the entire track at the same speed. In my opinion, this is an incentive that will help to differentiate who has been the best after 5/7 minutes.

I don't see what you're saying as a design problem. This is a track that is like this in real life and we have to drive according to the natural obstacles on it.

The same thing happens to me on that curve, so as on any other natural curve on any circuit, we have to go at the speed that the banking allows us. That is also part of the skill of each driver, having an influence on the total times.

Early thought on track, I like it. It has a few problems, nothing major or that wasn't known already. So far, A Fun track. It drives more like a real paved oval.
