Over the past week or so I’ve been working on bringing Vanport International Raceway to Game Stock Car. This is a track I initially completed way back in 2007, over 4 years ago now for rFactor. It has undergone a bit of an overhaul for Game Stock Car with updated shaders and textures for the terrain, and many TSOs also having their shaders updated as well as ambient occlusion added. In addition the overall feel has changed quite a bit. I visited the track in the summer of 2009 and I’ve gone for the dry summer feeling that it had then. I’ve also added many of the generic objects around the Game Stock Car circuits to Vanport such as the marshalls, recovery vehicles, pit stands, trucks and more.
The conversion is pretty much complete and just under going final testing and tweaking. I’d expect it to be released sometime next week.
Additionally I’m also contemplating bring two further tracks to Game Stock Car which have good road surfaces which will not degrade the physics feeling found with the standard tracks. However these two are likely to be more straightforward conversions with little adjusted from the rFactor tracks due to other things getting in the way.
