Motorsport Park 1990 v2

Glen Leugner ha rilasciato per Grand Prix Legends la versione aggiornata e finale del tracciato canadese di Motorsport nella configurazione del 1990. L'accuratezza nella realizzazione ne fa un download obbligatorio per ogni appassionato della mitica simulazione dei Papy.

Di seguito trovate tutte le novità di questa release.

Due to additional reference material I decided to improve the accuracy of my westwd90 track. In order to avoid confusion this completely revised track version will be known as west1990.

*** THIS IS West1990 version 1.0***
*** THIS TRACK IS NOT VOODOO CARD COMPATIBLE ***

The track directory is "west1990" so it will not affect you if you have installed "westwd90" or Strava's "westwood" track. I would suggest that you remove "westwd90" as it is an inferior version.

Westwood Motorsport Park 1990 was created by "Mytrack", (Glen Leugner).

It represents the Westwood Motorsport Park (Coquitlam, B.C., Canada) as it was in 1989 - 1990 with a distinct feature being the new pit entry lane that I beleive was added in 1988. The track was built in 1959 and is 8.0m wide and 1.80 miles in length. I think it is best suited to the 1965 cars although the race.lp for this release was created using the new '69 Mod cars part 3 final.

Carousel corner is banked up to 15 degrees at the apex while the clubhouse and hairpin corners have a 2 degree camber. There are no other cambered corners on the real track I could decern from photos.

Good passing is designed for the inside corners of carousel and clubhouse and the right hand side of the back-straight and inside of marshall's hairpin. The racing is close as this is a narrow circuit but I think I have the AI behaviour set well enough to stay on the track. Thanks to "Strava" for his AIGen utility.

Thanks to "Crusader" for providing a 1985 video lap of the Westwood Circuit and for the elevation maps (circa 1961) of half of the track.

Also thanks to "Strava" for the use of his "westwood tower 3do" which was used as the starting point for mine and to "Scotty" for his horizons which I reworked for my needs.

And finally, thanks to the authors of the many track creating tools.

5.) FB draw distance values:
- completely revised the fb file to eliminate all pop-ups during driving and replay using new understanding of the 3rd and 4th values.

6.) AI files:
- new AI files made from revised track lap using '69 mod part III final version release.
