Dear all,

finally a dream will come true for our longtrack-lovers .... the isle of man!

MotorFX created a brand new work still with its roots based on the older 15 mile version for GPL of the IOM track,
where used the path line to create smoother track build.
so it has totally new road mesh work consisting of / newModels especially some famous landmarks/ new Trees/ new shadows/ textures/ including quite a lot of infields
the AI/ animated marshals/ rain reflections were made to suit this new version only

IOM is a huuuuuge meshwork, there are a lot of objects which could be a possible source for problems.

It's nearly impossible in my eyes for a single human to test everything with such a long track to make sure all BUGs getting sorted.

So MotorFX agreed to my suggestion to have public betatesting at Altbierbude in advance of the final release.

Now it's up to you all out there to have IOM as good as possible!

Pls. have as much testing miles as possible on this great track and post any issues here.

The download is not served by our autoupdater since it's a betattest, not a final version yet.

You'll find the betaversion here: >> click me <<

Testing will take place on our Gameserver5 since our test server (gamserver6) is occupied by ETCC training.

Pls. keep in mind: Any feedback may lead into improved results for the final release, so we count on you for your postings here!


best reagrads,
Uwe

Hi Ken,

found a first issue...

Kadett-B has fuel for two laps only

Fuel in AIW needs to be as follows:


FuelUse = 297111.351564


best regards,

Hi Ken,

great looking track and really fast to drive...

But found two issues so far:
* shadows beneath other cars are flickering
* when turning on the light, there's a flickering effect, too.

This occurs not directly after start, but after ~1km...

Thanks for your work!
Georg

Edith: Hardware is Radeon 6700 series, if this helps.

This is marvellous news as it is such a great track to drive if you have ever had a copy of the original and converted for your own use!

I so look forward to trying this new version and can only say... MotorFX, you are my hero!!!

Unfortunately I will only be able to to do limited testing at the moment due to my health but I hope to give some feed back anywoo.

Gee

Dear Sir,
a big "Thank you " for doing such a great job.
Really, a Dream came true!"!!!

Thanks a lot!!
Very great Track!
Cheers Thomas

Woher kriege ich die Strecke ????

Short question: You have unpacked the file to the correct folder?

File is .7z, so you'll need 7zip to unpack, then put all to GTL/GameData/locations and it should work.

Hi Guys

I have been to the IOM in 2007 with my sidecar - bike. I had the chance to ride a few lap´s.
It was very nice, that the road was closed in one direction, so I could drive as fast as I wanted

I was just driving two laps in GTL very slowly to see all the detail´s and sign´s.
Driving the two round´s gave me a heebie-jeebies because the wohle track remembered me of my trip.
But there are also some things which aren't totally similar to the real track especially the straights which are much shorter. In my opinion this was a good desicion because otherwise the fullspeed passage would be just too long.
The passage i enjoyed the most was the Ballaugh Bridge hump. Other places which are very well done are for example Bray Hill, Glen Helen and Gooseneck.
The buildings are illustrated in a realistic way especially Sarah's Cottage, the Hotel by Sulby Straight, Creg-ny-Baa and what impressed me most was the fact that they mentioned the Snaefell Mountain Railway which crosses the road by Bungalow.
Of course in reality the track is much more rough
and full of road holes.
All in all i have to say that the track is very well done and maybe i can take it as an animation to go back to the isle of man this year.

Best regards, Frank

Hello all,
this is a verry nice track! THX!
I tried it for the mom 3 times, 2 offline and one at Server #5. 2 times ended at nirvana, because i missed the braking point and the car get catapulted high in to the air and over walls, fences or buildings, maybe there should be a "magic" wall to hold you on the surface....but that's just my personal opinion....

Öhm...the Mazda RX3 Gr.2 has a range from one lap too...

THX and please go on with your great work!

regards
Alex

Looks like a candidate for the ETCC or ATCC, really well done. Not like a public beta ...

Thx for your fine work

My initial impressions of driving the track are that the FPS is very good and the detail of the track is so much better because of the higher resolution which makes reading the road sings so much easier.

So far I have only found 3 problems and 2 of these have already been mentioned.
1… Flickering shadows under the cars.

2… Flickering road etc, when headlights are on.

3.. and not important. The side sign on the ‘Ballacraine Hotel’ is in reverse. This is at the left of the right hand corner at Ballacraine.

None of these problems have spoitl my immersion into this wonderful track, but if they can be fixed then it is a an extra bonus.

For the size of the track and the problems found so far I would say that MotorFX has done a superb job. Even the AI cars are very fast.

Amazing work.

Gee

This is a tough but very fun track to race!!
Very well done!!!

The Alfa Junior GTA has 2 laps when tanks are full but can do the 3 laps when the blinking red light on the dash comes on about 5-7km before finish.

There is a flag pole with a red flag hanging in mid air over the main grand stand/pits area at start/finish.

There is this one corner where just before you enter the corner there is a sign says "waterworks."
The wall on the very left size that follows the right handed corner, shouldn't that wall be flushed and smooth around that corner?
There is a bit of a hole in the middle of it and if you run into it, it just stops you dead.

Noticed the flickering shadows when no headlights are on and flickering roads, shadows etc.. when headlights are on.

Only one time did the countdown to start the race went as planned but it didn't give the green lights and the "GO" signal.
it just stayed on red lights.

Ich möchte zunächst nur folgendes dazu sagen: Ein Traum wird wahr. Das ist eine der wichtigen Strecken für die LM55 und ich bin sehr dankbar dafür. Die Strecke ist abgesehen von einigen trickreichen Passagen recht flüssig zu fahren, das Ambiente stimmig. Es gibt sicher noch ein paar kleine Schwächen, aber bei meinen ersten Ausflügen habe ich darauf noch nicht geachtet.

Ganz herzlichen Dank für dieses Werk.

I first want to only say this: A dream come true. This is one of the major routes for the LM55 and I am very grateful. The route is to go with a few tricky passages quite fluid, harmonious ambiance. There are probably even a few small flaws, but in my first trips I made sure not to.

Thank you very much for this.

Hello Don,

please translate it in english - otherwise it will be deleted by the BOSS

Well its a wonderful track, but very hard for me - so I crashed several times over the border. And its very hard to get back to the road, you have to drive longtime along the street to find a little gap in the border. Sometimes its impossible - there is a crossing road, but no chance to enter because of the nirwana ...

Cheers and thank you

Hi,

another minor issue:

when coming down the start-finish straight, where the box enters, there is a cut-off mountain at the left side and the great tribune seems to hover over the ground.

And the track is *very* addictive!
