Road courses project

[Pavel 69]

Hallo,
As I said in other thread I want to redone all default road coarses for icr2: Elkhart Lake, Mid Ohio, Laguna Seca and Portland.

First is Elkhart Lake and it is here. If you want to see difference from original papy version, try to make some laps there and then on this new track.

Install:
Track is made as replacement to the original papy track. So make backup of your Elkhart folder, extract both rars to your tracks folder, copy your old setups into the 'elkhart' folder.

Real race track run through woods most of the time. So I've added many trees (around 300). If someone will have problem with low framerate tell me, and I'll try to make lite version.

I also have made track updates of 1998: amco rails were replaced with the walls, new curbs and runoff zones were created. Use Elkhart.bat to switch beetween versions.

Some textures and objects are from Brett Shannon's Road America.

Have fun!

I don't know what to say!!!
AMAZING work. A whole new track! And it runs very smoothly too.
A great thanks for your commitment .
Keep it up.

I did just that, lapping the original Elkhart and comparing your new version straight after.

It is like whole new track. Amazing!

Looking forward to more updates. I might have to start a new CART season with all your tracks.

This version of Elkart Lake is so great when comparing it to the original game track.
The Papy version was very inexact, unrealistic and "wrong". This here is exacter, correcter and better (pmp files... ;-)!

Hi!!

After a pc change and some huge lack of time, i'm back to my addiction! Also, I was too lazy thinking that windows 7 was creating a problem for the the game, but the fact is that now I run the game with no win95 compatibility and forcing it to use 256 colors

I will test the new Elkhart Lake track and thanks a lot for it

[racelike]

Is anyone able to pass by the kink on the full trottle? I'm not hehe! I will test version 2 of the track later

I have just fired up ICR2 for this track after a year or so, but was worth it. Great work, it is more challenging than the Papy version.

Just one thing I miss: some reference points before the second and last turns (turn marks, billboards, tyre marks or whatever), I am struggling to find the braking points. Although I do not know whether in real life is there something or not.

To racelike: well, at least once I could do the kink on full throttle, I mean without hitting the wall . But definitely needs some setup adjustment.
