As for the ones I can see, coolè |

Oh, and for the uninitiated, the significance of the digital control, among other things, is that multiple cars can be independently controlled - even in a single lane.
But one of the things that I love as a sports car enthusiast, is the varied performance of cars. Some are great handler with less top end, but awesome acceleration, some are so-so out of the gates but will top out at 200mph etc etc. Now I know the slot-car crowd are used to balls-to-the-wall zip-zap ricocheting around the track with a little sled that happens to have a body attached... but what about if the cars behaved in relation to each other as they look in relation to each other? Well - this is what I am working on now. DCC allows for many programmable Configuration Variables to be altered. Values of these CV's affect all sorts of thing. The main ones I am playing around with now, are the ones that affect acceleration, deceleration and top speed. (custom speed mappings is what they are) So now the F360 Challenge will outrun the F355 Cup car on top end, but maybe not acceleration - and there is no way the Citroen WRC car will out gun the Enzo flat out, but it may stop and turn easier. In short, I am setting the performance of all my cars to prototypical settings relative to each other, with the top speed ratcheted down to a slightly more realistic level. Another cool feature? A car with a certain address is easily controlled - if you want to generate some "computer controlled traffic" simply give a bunch of cars the same address and voila - instant rush hour. |

These are a couple examples (not my layout) of the type of scenery that is going to be in place... http://www.oldslotracer.com/DSCN1551.jpg http://www.oldslotracer.com/GT40.JPG http://www.oldslotracer.com/Hill_083.jpg http://www.oldslotracer.com/Hill_094.jpg http://www.oldslotracer.com/Hill_072.jpg |
When do you plan to complete it? I see many more days of interesting work on it! And can't wait for updates!

Man! This is something special. When I was scanning thru the first fews pics and seeing the hair pin curves - I thought this will look cool with elevations and lo and behond a couple pics down the line my wishes came true.
I like the fact that some parts of the circuit is set up for two cars running parallel and others where they have to run in single file ---> you have race like mad to get ahead of the other car to get ahead when it becomes single file! Mega-cool feature Can cars run uphill and downhill or is it uni-directional? Coming down the hill would be more tough to control - should be getting mega-oversteer methinks... |
that rally one is badass. good luck with your layout RC45, keep us updated with pics.
|
Holly Shit! Thats is quite impressive, keep it up!
Now may I ask were do find the time for something like this? There is no way in the world I could do something like this on my spare time...except summer. |
