Craddys layout Workshop
« on: February 23, 2011, 08:04:37 PM »
I have wanted to start some sort of workshop for a while but never got the chance. Now LFS JDM seems to be sorting out quickly and I have got rid of my grudge against layout making! I understand my layouts may not be the best, But I am trying and have been improving throughout time :)

Hope you enjoy. Make sure to leave any C&C per layout!

................................................................
Layout 1
..............

Seen it?

正月爆走會2011(車載)


Driven it? I think not.

LFS'd it? Not sure... But you can now :)
................................................................

This was my first layout to release as a 1:1 scale layout on LFS. I did make a teesside replica but my LFS crashed and the file decided to delete itself! I kinda got pissed off with it and took a rage (Bon rage to be exact ;)) and swore to never make a layout again. Now im finding myself making a layout almost every day so far.

I saw a video posted on driftworks the other day (shown above) and was asked to try and make this layout. So I tried and according to google, the track was only 6m wide. In that case, I have made the track slightly wider to between 8/10m to make it more suitable for drifting on (and besides, it looks more realistic as it was far too tight at 6m so earth must of failed with that measurement!).

I've gone into as much detail as I dare. Even down to where tyres are places in the middle of the circuit and the hay bails where foam blocks are on the final hairpin!




The layout works fantastic in an XRG! Me, Fokin and Charlie had a triple train to try and re-create the video above but I forgot to save the replay :( But it works in other cars too :) Can you stay between the white lines and not "Dirt drop" everywhere? (You would be IRL).

Enjoy!
Cal.

Sorry for double post but I'd rather have one per layout!

................................................................
Layout 2
..............

Seen it?

Drift Day - Pembrey Circuit Drift Ink


Driven it? Maybe.

LFS'd it? Definitely not! But you can now :)
................................................................

Pembrey Circuit is based on an airport and has a purposely put together small circuit for Karting use. As well as kart drivers, Drifters decend on this tiny circuit! Now it may seem small and boring, but its pretty fun when you actually drift it yourself :)




It is located in South Wales and isn't known widely for many large events. But it is perfect for the locals and some people even come from other parts of the UK to drift this simple but fun circuit :)

Sorry about the absense... I've been working a lot at the Autodrome (Teesside) and with the British Drift Championship down at Donnington Park since I last posted on here. Now that open configs are available, expect some crazy **** coming down!
...
Layout 3
..............

Open Config - Fern Bay!







................................................................

On entry, I'd recommend that you use 3rd/4th gear and flick to the right at the end of pitlane, then left and rub the hay bails. Use either 2nd or 3rd suited to your setup in the tighter section of the track. Don't forget the 4th clipping point at the end of the layout.
