MIKULÁŠ RALLY

HOTHESS Mikuláš Rally Online

This online rally is based on HOTHESS Mikuláš Rally, which in real life celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2019. The company with its center in Slušovice in East Moravia is regularly the end of the competition year in the Czech Republic! The competition center is, as usual, located in Slušovice, about 20 kilometers northeast of the regional city of Zlín, where the service zone, closed parking lot and rally headquarters are located. The popular racetrack will be run several times around the well-known racetrack, which will also be complemented by the well-known classic section near Slušovice. The virtual version of this competition completely copies the special stages of the real rally, and in the sixteen-year history of the Richard Burns Rally game, it will happen for the first time that the virtual race will be completely identical to the real model!

Three new special stages are waiting for the drivers - the popular circuit around the Slušovice racecourse, the classic special stage from Lípa to Slušovice - both stages will be run twice during the rally and finally a short exhibition test using again part of the Slušovice circuit.

22.4. 2020

- building of the Fagus company premises at the start of the special stage

27.4. 2020

- road around the horse race track is almost done. Other by 3/4. The output from Zaxxon could not be used much (there are a lot of large areas and a gentle elevation), so it's a lot about manual work. But it must be fun :-)

5.5. 2020

- The ground is basically finished, there are still a few details left (thickening of the mesh). Gradually Start to devote buildings and other "junk".

- fphysics is provisional, driveline only the bare minimum

- so far, due to the test, everything is exported as ground so for example, fences dont have transparency

- weather is renamed from front-end RBR (Map04)

- I attach maps for orientation. The start is according to 1A.

- buildings are extracted from OSM maps - for guidance only

Work also progressed on the SS Fagus

-finishing the modelling at ther end of the stage, modified passage through the manure and added retarder

- It remains to add some objects in to stage, generate shadows and then Wallaby

7.5. 2020

- first proper test of SS Fagus

26.5. 2020

25.8. 2020

- resumed work on both stages

- stage Fagus finished - created winter textures. edit some TV cameras, banners and splash screen left to do

- SS Dostihovka crash after reaching the finish line. We dont know what should we do with that

4.10. 2020

- creation of curbs, retarders, tires and other objects

16.10. 2020

- crashing solved
- I had to re-establish it all in Wallaby, but the effort paid off. In addition, Miro found a problem with the collision model and materials there, I will still have to discuss how to avoid it next time.
- I'm working on several things at once (houses, greenery, cameras) and my idea is to have a beta ready by the end of next week. Then we would have more than a week left for testing and adding on the plugin.

- tried to tune the physics a bit, but it already seems to me that it's quite dusty ...

11.10. 2020

- It remains to finish several houses, thicken the grove, muddy the track and solve the shadows. Then invite TV and timekeepers :-)

- Progress about 80%, unfortunately we are still dealing with the crashing. It's better, but it's not in your pocket yet

21.10. 2020

- splash screen creation

- Stage Fagus done

23.10. 2020

- final beta version
- done by 95%

22.10. 2020

- preparation of the final stage - the works proceed according to plan and so the only problem remains with the creation of shadows so far, I've been testing some AO shadows so we'll see how long it takes.

24.10. 2020

- addition of anti-shortening traps

- added lot of mud in to pool
