Almost got you Boris

Quote from jibber :

@Chris:

It looks more and more like a dedicated track car to me as well. Here in switzerland it would never be allowed on the road like that...

That's what I really like about UK, you can legally drive there on public roads with some pretty hardcore cars, I guess you generally need just number plates and working lights.

You can even legally drive there with your own bed

Here in Latvia we also got some stupid rules, some of the most retarded - no roll cage, no steal braided brake lines, no brake upgrades with aftermarket parts

Quote from R3DMAN :

you gained 8fps... ?

~7-9
Yes, I was worried about those shaders, now each time since 0.6.2 I check the fps hit

No idea about the trees, but the most important and impressive thing is this

0.8.0 Nords is ready

Quote from flonoen :

Is it just me who thinks the driving is too hard in AC, way harder than in reality?

No, you need to do some really stupid things in order to lose control while driving at 80% pace with standard street cars like Abarth 500, e30m3, e92m3, evora etc.

Great choice for st205

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Btw, why don't the flaps move on the Huayra anymore?

Bug

Quote from Boris Lozac :

You're kidding me And there was me thinking those are the best cause they're default and all.. :/

When that car came out semis where the default tire, but bunch of people cried in forums that they can't handle the beast, so KS changed the default tire to TG cut slicks, so people don't kill the selves trying Huayra for the first time.

Quote from Fordman :

Can I ask...what is this big thing about the Ring...

It's the best track in the world
even cars like in my avatar feels fast there
Just watch this lap - AX diese ... gring record lap 9:55 BTG

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Absolutely mental this car, wonder if it's really this wierd to drive irl.. doesn't give much feedback, bounces all over the place, still a massive trill on the ring.. dat whine!

Huayra at the Ring

O' Boris you did this lap with the default tires , next time try this car with the semis, much more enjoyable car will be more softer and less bouncy and laptime will be more realistic, somewhere in Zonda F and Koenigsegg CCX region
List of Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times

Quote from e2mustang :

well i fixed my laggy shitty nord,by putting shadow to very low,and cube map to low vsync on and frame limit to 54. i dont see any difference in graphics,but now i can complete lap !

0.6.2 or 0.7.0?

my settings was >

0.6.2 - sweetFX off (gains ~20fps ) 8x af, 2x aa, shadows very low, hdr on, world detail very high, cubes low, faces 1 - and still stutters at some places

0.7.0 - sweetFX on, 16x af, 2x aa, shadows low, hdr on, world detail ultra, cubes low, feces 2 - and zero stutters, I can even play with medium shadows, but I want some fps headroom for MP

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Yes, wheel is on.. I don't know man, i could be imagining things.

No you are not imagining, when the virtual wheel is on you can clearly see the lag, but I you drove with the wheel off your will not see it and you will not notice it

I play with Vsync on believe it or not AC is the only game where I use it
No problems in sliding department
Boris do you drive with virtual steering wheel on?

Nords 0.7.0 :woohoo: runs smoother then 0.5.0, how is this possible? nobody knows, even Snoopy

-fixed white edges of trees
-added slight bumpiness to the whole track. Feedback welcome.
-bumpier carousels
-improved pit area
-texture and mesh fixes
-added skidmarks (still placeholders, a more sophisticated driving line texture planned)
-added more trackside objects
-changed road textures
-rails mesh fixes

Quote from cargame.nl :

I get "blinded" on some parts of the track when HDR is on..

page down

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Every other track and even 0.6.1 work very well. I love the guy's work but he could do some optimizing

If it comes to that point, do you think Phenom 965 and 4Gb of ram could remain so i just update the graphic card to that one?

Wouldn't hurt to upgrade CPU and RAM too, PC upgrading is like a car engine tuning, GPU is like a turbocharger, you don't get the best results upgrading only one component.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Wow 0.6.2 is completely unplayble for me. Having enormous stutters every second..

You need GTX660 2Gb or better

If anyone wonders how a really fast GT3 lap looks like around Nordschleife

Quote from sinbad :

I'll never truly like AC until they improve the steering feel. The 458 is just so floaty feeling at low steering angles, for example, but all the cars are prone to wandering around the straight-ahead way too much..

I don't have this problem, 107% in profiler does the trick for me, AC has the best steering feel of all the top sims that I have tried (lfs, rf2, iR)
But that 107% trick for example does no work in LFS, but for AC it's a must

Nords 0.6.2 is really great.
But I had too seriously lower the eye candy to play this version and forget about sweetFX
I think now you need at least GTX 780 to enjoy this track with nice graphics (not maxed out, just above average)

I think the biggest fail is that Snoopy can't make LOD's, whole track gets rendered at all times.

I still have the 0.5.0, will do some fps testing

edit:

tested at the hotlap start position (tiergarten)

87fps 0.5.0 (with sweetFX) 101fps (default)
84fps 0.6.1 (with sweetFX) 97fps (default)

my settings for the Nords

Fullscreen ON (1920x1080) | Vsync On | Anti Filtering 16x | AA to 2x | Shadow Low | HDR On | Motion Blur OFF | World detail Ultra | Smoke in mirrors Visible | Resolution in mirrors High | Smoke generation Normal| CubeMaps at LOW | Faces at 2 |

My PC is pretty average - i5 2500K 3.3Ghz| 8GB DDR3 RAM | GTX 570 1,2GB

Just drove the 0.6.1 for the first time, same bumps at the same places imho, except galgenkopf entrey is now smoother, I bet the KS laserscaned version will be even more bumpy, for example Döttinger Höhe straight is smooth as a table in snoopy's version, but in reality it's not.

I didn't notice any fps drops compared to 0.5.0

New pb with z4 gt3 - 6:52, still 10sec of the WR :|
