hitman442 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 is any 1 gunner make the aldershot track coz i get can pics
Biffo Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 is any 1 gunner make the aldershot track coz i get can pics Well, Nick (Nick M48) said he was interested in modelling the track if he can get enough pictures. Maybe you should tell him of yours. I`ve got a few others but only out of programmes etc. Regards Biffo
Dazza290 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 A few people have been asking me how Westworld is coming on, well here is a pic so they can decide for them selves I did get further then this, but I wasnt happy with it so I deleted it right back to the basics and built it up from there. There are obviously a few texture problem with it, however what I do is create the bit needed in max, whack any old texture on it just to test and see what it is like in game before texturing it properly. Hoping to get this released before the end of the season so it is ready for the start of next year if Ukdirt wish to use it. Cheers Dazza

Biffo Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Did colin farely get out ok?? looked pretty badly warped up that motor I forgot to mention, Colin Farely, who was Fig.8 Champion at the time, became a victim of this nasty looking "follow in". However you`ll be glad to know he got away with just a cut hand. Regards Biffo

Hey Nick Just found out there`s a place known as www.mhvideos.co.uk which is Martin Hunt Videos and he`s flogging off some Aldershot DVD`s and Videos such as ; "Aldershot van Banger Compilation" - Featuring 8 meets 1986 - 1992 "Aldershot A60`s Compilation" - quote; "1897 - 1990" - (Wow Victorian A60`s ??) s/b 1987 - 1990 "Goodbye Aldershot" - 3 hours of that fateful last meeting , November 1992.

Aub Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 not being funny but why bother with aldershot there still great tracks to be made that are still inuse today ummmmm ringwood springs to mind great track cheers aub
Lakey508 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 not being funny but why bother with aldershot there still great tracks to be made that are still inuse today ummmmm ringwood springs to mind great track cheers aub Buy one of them DVD's watch how Bangers are ment to be driven then you will cotton on why it's being done. Did I just praise a Spedeworth track? Lakey
Knobby Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Whos making Ringwood then? Aldershot would be great, would prefer it to any other track as it seemed really good! Edited July 24, 2006 by Knobby
mcrew Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 not being funny but why bother with aldershot there still great tracks to be made that are still inuse today I, for one, would love to be able to race around Newton Abbot again, OK, so it would only be online ( should anyone consider making the track for online use), but its somthing that will never be possible again in real life otherwise. I was never lucky enough to witness Aldershot ' in real life', but I would sure like to have a crack at it online. Bringing back defunct tracks online would sure bring back alot of memories for those of us that used to visit them, and it would hopefuly allow those unfortunate enough not to visit them, the chance of getting some idea what the places where all about and what made them so magical. * Mcrew brushes a tear from his eye*.
watto Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Stick me down for Newton Abbott too. Saw best meetings ever there. Think 91 Saloon world final when pit gate got busted and had to use JCB scoop as a gate! Brilliant!
Sparky961 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Can't have been 91 lol, 1991 loon world was at cowdie. cheers sparky
watto Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Can't remember the year then but I think Ernie B won it - it was so bloody hot that day. Got sunburnt legs and struggled to press the pedals to drive back to Oxfordshire Anyone help out with the year or have any pics? or where to get a video from? Thanks
mcrew Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Can't remember the year then but I think Ernie B won it - it was so bloody hot that day. Got sunburnt legs and struggled to press the pedals to drive back to Oxfordshire Anyone help out with the year or have any pics? or where to get a video from? Thanks I remember that the track photographer at Newton Abbot used to be a rather flamboyant woman named Wendy Wilkinson, but unfortunately, she never advertised her contact details in any of the old Autospeed programs. If you contact Crispen at Autospeed, just go on the website and email him, he may be able to help out? ( If he does, please pass on any info ) I would love to have some of her photos now, as all Im left with after all the motors I raced there, are three very tattered pics of a crappily prepped Cortina estate that I raced.
MiNi_TeTz Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 I think it would be very nice to see the Jaba Circuit on this game. First as it's my grandads track and its a 35 year old brisca member aswell. The best track for the Dutch to get ready for England,the best track for the English 2 beat the Dutch Or if some1 could tell me how to make a track il start on it and wont end till im done
Tombo209 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 track modeling is very hard,have you got max? and in my opinion i would rather see warneton made
