RE: Caesars Palace Track Beta RELEASE!!!! - checkpoint10 - 03-26-2020
@thestig88, may I pick up the Caesar's Palace project from you? I am learning track editing and this track is a good one to practice with, since it is small, flat and should not require many objects.

I watched that race last night! That was a great battle between Sneva and Unser! The whole show reminded me how much more simple and entertaining wheel-to-wheel racing was back then - even if drivers take each other out, they just settle it by wagging their fingers at each other. None of the steward's decisions or discussion about who's to blame or whatever.
Caesar's Palace was a great track for racing, too. It helps that they have to brake for all the corners and there's run-off everywhere.

@checkpoint10 I would be honoured if you could work some magic on the Caesars Palace track.
RE: Caesars Palace Track Beta RELEASE!!!! - checkpoint10 - 03-27-2020
Thank you! I will try to make some more progress on this!

This is a rough new version of the Caesars Palace oval. There is still no AI and it only works in preseason testing. Also, I have only tested this on the DOS version of ICR2.
I still get a errors occasionally which has me removing walls and putting them back in. Some walls may be in weird places or missing as a result.
Please provide any feedback, suggestions, criticism, etc.

I made some edits to the track - the attachment in the previous post has been updated. It's not perfectly matching the real track, but I think it's close enough, so I will get started on textures.
It's actually a lot of fun to drive, the back section is taken almost flat out which reminds me of the turn at Istanbul with multiple apexes.

Good work! Its starting to come alive!
RE: Caesars Palace Track Beta RELEASE!!!! - checkpoint10 - 03-29-2020
Happy to bring you another new version of Caesar's Palace. Sorry to the folks who downloaded the previous version just today - you'll want to download this one. It has the following improvements:
- A small number of track side objects, specifically grandstands and a tall building (representing the Caesar's Palace hotel)
- Starting position is now at the head of the pit lane (still haven't quite figured out the rest of the pit lane, but for testing purposes this should be okay)
- Palette is now based on Laguna Seca because I wanted to use its sand texture
Enjoy!
Edit: Newer version has been posted

very cool idea using the "sandish" style feeling of laguna
