There have been a few questions on the subject and a few hints from us so figured we may as well post progress (also mainly so nobody else starts something similar!) of a project that a couple of us might be working on ;D Progress has been on hold for a while as B4 emerged and a few tracks were sorted out, but now it's back on.
A lot has changed since this video (recorded in Beta 3) including things like better corners, better jump faces / placement, improved uphill up st helen, and of course the textures are just placeholders - But it highlights just how accurate we are aiming to make the replica. The heightmap was created from scratch using real world horizontal and vertical measurements of the track and surrounding scenery.

I could help modeling and texturing objects if it were necessary...Let me know if I you need some kind of help.
Good work!
This looks amazing Fats! Do you ever sleep? I can't wait to ride on it.... Keep up the good work

I really hope you mean more berms with that like in the video at 18 secs 8)
Btw. did anyone tried to make real ruts and tried to ride these? this would be sick
anyway it looks really promising
OMG this is amazing. we had a lot of good replicas on mxs but here is another level. just can't wait.
yeah the track has changed a fair bit since this video was made.
paco, thanks for the offer but Vortex Damien is doing objects, and gdub is helping out with skinning I believe.
PhiliaN, yes, that corner already has a new inside line and a better outer.
Hmm nice things are coming in this game ! Thumbs up :)
Wow.. I can only imagine..
You made Paleta so much better for beta 4...I'm guessing the same on glen.
You guys are awesome!
*fist pump*

DAMN this looks so awesome!!! i can't wait anymore 8)
Holy crap that looks good! :o
Is that your latest version fats?
I think so ;)
This is the only screenshot I have right now, but it looks cool and is from a couple of versions back.

Awesome, yeah been loving this version mate, ease don't change the heightmap again haha this is the best version :)
Thanks, still waiting on Damien to test :).. Hopefully heightmap is very close to being done and then will be finishing textures as Damien does objects.
I'm not against throwing myself into a test session for the greater cause ;)
Track is looking dope, love the textures and the parts without plants, looks like truck tyres or offroading parts. :D
well if you ever need a tester for any tracks etc. hit me up
Based on the pics..looks like a cool free-ride location also..but im sure with fences it wont be.
Started on objects for glen helen ;)

Yes! looking nice damo! :D
Little bit of a spam but here is a base texture, prob going to add dirt near the bottom and such to add realism

Can't wait for that big project. I would love to ride in that beautiful track. Gooooood work as always Fat and Damien. You're professionals.

It's nice to see how it takes shape. Very good work both Damien and Fatcontroller.
Don't be jealous guys but this is my local track in real life maybe 15 min . from my pad my first race in pro class was on this track it hasn't always been this design actually rarely this design but one thing it always has been is fuking brutal the braking bumps on this track will make your forearms explode!!There was quite a few time where I literally had to slide my hands off the bars because I couldn't open them. I love this track and you have done an amazing job so far on replicating it . Just a few little things to know about this bitch of a track it's never smooth it will beat your ass all day long you hate every minute youre out there on it but god damn it's fun and you can't stop from going back every Thursday and Sunday for a good ass woopen. Don't even get me started on rainy days !!!!! :)lol
That's so cool Jsinn. Glen Helen is an iconic track around the world I think. They even have Glen Helen holidays for sale here in England!
Amazing work! Can't wait to ride it!
Fats, is it possible that if you start your next track replica you could stream this? you dont have to explain/talk in the stream, if there are questions we could ask with a specific time from the vod. i would really love to make replica tracks like you do, but i have no clue how you do it :)

No can do mate.. I will consider putting together a tutorial at some point of general track making the way I do it, but I use L3DT which I know a lot of people hate - I put a couple of tutorials up here and said if anyone wants more just say, and nobody did, plus I don't really stream stuff..
Geo has made a tutorial series and its great when learning the basics.. i suggest looking over and testing something over and over and over. only real way of getting something to work the way you like it
Quote from: geofanatec on April 23, 2016, 03:06:40 AM
I can definitely make a "quick start" tutorial.
I think this would be great!
This track is coming along very well, any chance you can give us a release date or when
you plan on it? ;D
I've just about finished the final version of the heightmap and textures. Will be sending the project folder over to Damien so he can adjust the objects and the last things I need to do are skybox and animated flag.
Hopefully no more than a week!.. Hopefully..
Ya sadly no time anymore started a new job working nights and it's tiring so I usally only get 2-3 hours on my pc
Thanks for the heads up Fats, I know what it's like to work and try to play as well.
Best of luck on the new job Vortex_Damien ;D
Soon...

Agreed, the final race can be at Helen!

Guys, the track is looking fantastic! Thanks a lot for the amazing work! ;D
This will probably be released about the time I get sick and can't make it into work,.. strange how that happens, at least I will have this to enjoy during recovery. ;)

stonerider please leave redbud server if your not riding., no one can join!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
release?? TODAY?? :D
Either today or tomorrow ;)
:D ok ist Weekend, so tomorrow is ok :)
Well Damo's given me the objects but there are still a few things to do. I'd like to say definitely this weekend at some point, maybe tonight, most likely tomorrow, worst case Sunday.
And on the 7th day, god (theFats) gave us Glen Helen!!
I look forward to testing this new track ;D
The wait is killing me ;D ;D ;D This track is going to be a game changer. :D
Thx Doc..every time I see a new post here I think I am coming to grab up the new release!!! but nooooooooooo!
*sorry to the next guy who I have done the same lol
Don't worry, I'll start a new topic once it's released :)
So what does everyone think.. Nice rutted 4k textures or lower blurry 2k but a possibility of a better online experience and larger replay buffers?

Release both, one for on/line racing and one for off/line single players
Seems a bit overkill, especially for web space.. hmm..
Start off with your nice 4k release! You deserve to release the quality that you make!
We are not exactly sure the 4k is an issue online yet do we??
If so, then release low res later.
(or send me the 4k separate please for video making)
yeah so some of use can use secretlty a high version in testing if it's the online problem... huhu. but ride it in low or high quality, in fact, i don't care. just wanna ride it :D
yea but I honestly do love the making vids in mxb.. the replay cam makes this game to another level of quality..so higher res track/models for a vid maker is better for everyone and advertisements for the future of mxb
I say release both too, even if only to find out if the 4k is causing any problems.. :-\
The only question i have is..........WHEN?????😀
There's a lot of talk about bikes and such in another topic,
I'd like to know if this will affect the release of Glen Helen today?
I think it is just what we need to get our spirits up and our
minds off the whole bike mod water gate (Bike Gate) scandal
and a very good way to pay respect to Luis Salom R.I.P. :'(

Sorry for the delay guys, won't be long now.
