Would you like more Mod Tracks in AC, similar to Zandvoort? [Strawpoll]

I voted for no. I dont know why but I really dont like Zandvoort even if its pretty close to iracings laserscanned version according to people. I dont dislike it in that manner but its nothing I actually drive.
If they release non-laserscanned tracks for free no one could complain, really, but id prefer to pay for laserscanned tracks.
R3E have Zandvoort too and that is more fun to drive but they doesnt have laserscanned tracks, more than nords, and I can enjoy that more. I wouldnt call it "better" but they havent spoiled me with laserscanned tracks.

 

You new around here?

 

Yes. No but seriously, I was one of them that would prefer a laserscanned version of Zandvoort. But tbh its just stupid to cry about it since it was free, it would probably be ok if they released it with a dp too since it went a lot of work into it but i voted 3 because driving on that feels better (its my wannabe sim racer that talking hehe).

 

go for it. more quality tracks are really what AC lacks. laser scanned is a sweet bonus.

 

Zandvoort is great even without laser scanning. Sure, I prefer laser scanning, but I'll run modded tracks just as much as official if they are good enough.
I want to run Tsukuba 2.0 online all the time but no one uses it. Is perfect for the Japs!

Edit:

I like this idea:
Similar to rFactorcentral, you have a long list of 1-5 ratings based on many things for every track. Grass, AI flow, textures, PPF, accuracy, fun factor, etc.

Create a VERY high expectation for these ratings, and at the end of each month or so, release officially the best rated track/s. Similar to the million livery contests across board from all racing games, except for tracks.

 

I don't think there will be others experiments like Zandvoort, because laser scanned tracks are an exclusivity of AC in the console market, so any further compromise would only reduce this selling point.

 

I hope you right. But on the other hand we just got Black Cat County.

 

Voted yes and would gladly pay for well made non LS tracks like ZV. We all know Kunos doesnt charge crazy sums so everyone can afford it.

 

I voted yes but with the caveat that they need to be VERY high quality.

There are only a handful of current mod tracks that match the quality of ACs official content.

 

The most essential factor of a track to be enjoyable is the layout I think. And as long as a person doesn't visit the real tracks, I don't see why small differences in small details are important, as long as you get the character of a track right (small or big bumps, many or a few, etc.).
Especially as a small team with limited ressources I see it as a opportunity and no matter if its Forza or AC, what racinggames can't have enough of is tracks.
That could be a big plus for AC, since especially for casualgamers it doesn't have that many advantages over other titles.

I would rather like to see more DLC tracks than cars (I don't bother at all about the latest DLC) and there are some really talented people out there that could help, so we can have tracks like Bathurst, Road America/Atlanta etc. which will be used online and released for consolegamers.
If there would be no scanned version anyway, it would be no loss, people disliking them - that is a a vocal minority of the people that buyed AC - could ignore them. Or delete them or whatever.

 

I cant vote on my phone but its a yes from me.

I think id rather have the worst conversion of a fun track than high quality modern Silverstone Not to mention a really fun well made mod like Riverside.

I really hope we get the classic Silverstone and Monza layouts soon!

I cant see it happening (i guess cars sell copies) but non LS to bring in tracks from overseas would be great.

 

The dev's have said that scan data sharing won't happen. iRacing would make Kunos pay through the nose and Kunos would return the favour...

 

Black Cat County is laserscanned.

 

Laser-scanned tracks are the reason why I don't play other sims that much. Only run nords in RR and Brands Hatch and the other few scanned tracks in pcars from time to time.
The track model is the only thing you can do like 100% correct in a simulation. Everything else simply just can get close because of the ffb wheel's limitations and complexity etc. So even when I run my low budget g29, I can say to myself, at least the track-layout is 100% right.
Yes, I know, tracks change during time. I think when I tried the LS nords for the first time, which is the only one I can compare to my real life experience, I was amazed so much that I don't want to miss it. Even a friend of mine who has a "pc racing games are for kids" mentality finally changed his mind and uses it to learn the track just because of the laserscan.
Long story short, I'd be okay with mod tracks but I wouldn't really use them.

 

Laser scan only.

 

I would vote yes as there are some fantastic modded tracks out there, but, with the situation as it is, the ability to download and simplicity of installing modded tracks, is it that important in the grand scheme of things?
Modders who have the time and patience will eventually upgrade their tracks with the latest textures etc., and there are quite a few out there at the moment that are worthy of the Kunos seal of approval as they stand...
I am just your average racer, love to play this race game, but to be honest, and I know there are lots of people out there who do, but how many of us would know a LS track from a non LS track? Anyone could tell me all tracks are LS, I would not know TBH.
On the other hand not to be unappreciative, it is nice to know the track is as near to its real life counter part as it can be.

 

I was and watching stcc a weekend ago, it sucked. Noone of the cars are laserscanned. Arcade.

 

having made zandvoort ... of course I say yes
you do not like a track that is not LS? .. do not use it .. maybe others might appreciate.

 

Talking of mod tracks what are the kudos like quality mod tracks out there? Ive seen a lot and most are poor with rubbish ai. Donnington seems good

 

I agree on that. I dont use Zandvoort but I know there is good racing on that track according to people here on the forum, so I say go for it!
