Virginia International Raceway

A conversion from NASCAR Heat to rFactor
Version 1.0 completed April. 27, 2006
Game Patch Level 1070

Original Track Author: Megahurtz
Conversion By: Bud Lucas using 3D SimEd
Assisted By: PhilRob, Jose Swervo and Andy55

This conversion is just a 'Tide Me Over' for all us VIR fans until a proper scratch built track can be made, my meager talents restrict me to conversions only.

Bugs:

All DX settings have been tested, but work was done using the DX8 setting so there might be problems at DX9, not all video cards perform the same.

The shadows have not been activated.

Track night lighting has not been activated but vision during night races is still good.

Recommended Settings:

To improve FPS set shadows at Medium.

For best track visuals set Customize\Settings\Display\Texture Detail to Full, there will be a minor reduction in FPS but the improved visuals are worth it.

Recommend the 'Track Default' race starting time be used, you will find it between 11:30 PM and 12:00 AM under the Customize/Settings/Race tabs once the game is started.

Special thanks to PhilRob for all his help and advice, Jose Swervo for his beta testing and great feedback, and to Megahurtz the original track author who built a fantastic foundation for us to convert. The only major change from the original was the addition of a couple of trees and tents....... :-)

Enjoy,
Bud Lucas
