I saw a couple of pages back that you were finishing Oulton Park, may i ask you when you expect to release it?
abraços!
Somehow I missed this question before...
The Oulton Park situation is a bit odd. It is 2-5 days from completion, but I don't see myself being able to finish it anytime soon (it's been that way since 2012). It just needs 2-4 more buildings, some stands and a few other objects. It also needs some bugfixes in the scenery (hills and trees), some cleanup of testing objects that don't belong to the track and some camera work. I would gladly release it without the missing objects but I think the bugs are too big.
I guess the best solution is to give myself a deadline. Like, if I don't finish it in two months, I will release it as-is.
And of course, if someone wants to finish it I would send them the track since at this point I really have no hopes of returning to track building in a solid way.
Here is a small video for you guys, so you can see the many bugs by yourselves. Anyway, the track is a blast to drive.

So yesterday I spent some time trying to complete Oulton Park. I finished a not very realistic pit building and added some fence and trackside graphics, and some marshal houses. I tried to fix the bugs using TDK's amazing 0xd0 tutorial which helped a lot, but there are some bugs that I have not been able to fix. I also tried to improve pit entry and exit and they are much better now, but there are still some ugly bugs in those parts. I also spent a lot of time moving the cameras so they would hide some bugs, just to notice a missing jam was causing the black horizon bug and no camera moving was needed.
Sometime later this week I will try another round of bug-fixing.

The worst bugs are fixed now and I don't want to add more details. So it will be ready to release very soon. Making the Island layout will take a few hours, but I will only do it once the rest of the track is ready because it would mean double work if I want to make changes in the full track.
I'd love to see Potrero ready but it would take months to make it decent at least, so I don't know if it will ever happen. If I give up completely, I will post the unfinished files here.
I don't remember ever working on a Baltimore track, sounds like Antonio's thing
BTW, I found some interesting files in my pile of junk: they are layout changes with cclines to TDK's Salzburgring tracks. 2 versions (1 chicane and no chicanes). It needs some fixes on the scenery around the deleted chicanes and the ccline is a bit too much on the edges, but they are very driveable.
