Croft v1.0 is planned after GOLD version of rfactor 2.
On full/max details Croft has 20-60% better performance than ISI’s track (depends on hardware) but if you still have a problem, try these settings:
shadows “low”
track details “medium”
enviroment reflections “OFF”
HDR ON, AA 2x, AF 4x
other settings: ON/HIGH
These settings are good compromise between quality & performance.
Package contains track and three vmods.
Vmods need updated cars and tracks:
Brianza
Portugal
Monaco
Malaysia
Palm Beach
Belgium
Mid-Ohio
Nissans
Clio
1960 OW
ps. some one could ask why after six months of work Croft still is not fully finished?
The reason is obvious, every single thing in this project was new for me, I had to learn everything step by step about modding and still I have a lot to learn.
I had two choices:
1. wait, learn, improve the track after each new rf2’s build, and release it after GOLD
2. release it now and give you guys the oportunity to drive at Croft 0.9
I chose option 2.
