Test Build v.0.0.26

Hello hello..!

abulzz here, and welcome back to Targa Florio!

First of all, I'm truly sorry for the lack of progress update lately. Although it doesn't mean that the progress was halted. No worries about that :D

About two weeks ago, one of my work colleague was tested positive for cov 19. And automatically, every single one in the office have to go into isolation for 3 days before taking swab test as well. 

My test result, and all the rest of the people that work in the company came out negative, fortunately. Alt...

Hello hello...!

Abulzz here and welcome back to Targa Florio!

I hope you and your family are all in good health. 

Time sure flies isn't it? Was it because of the global situation we're in? Like a few months just gone, and suddenly, we are already in October.

And speaking of time, it's Tuesday already?? Holy **** Where did my weekend go?? 

Well I hope you had a great weekend, since I can't remember mine hahaha

But I do remember that I was adding more buildings at Campofelice though :P

Hello Hello,

It's raining outside here. The air is a bit cold, and the mood is kinda mellow lol. especially when I remember that tomorrow is already Monday again.

Aaand it's already October. what a year this has been huh? I really wish this pandemic will come to pass soon. 

I despised it so much. because if only there were no pandemic, I already have a new PC by now hahaha.

But on the other hand, waiting turn out to be a good thi...

Hello helloo

How are you guys doing? I hope You all had a great weekend.

to me, well, I kinda messed up my weekend. Why? Because I forgot that the Sochi GP begin 2 hours earlier than usual :(

So when I tuned in, the race was already over and it the first thing I saw was Bottas stepping on the podium....

Only an hour later that I learned about the race from the highlight hahaha

anyway, back to the track.

Last week, I spent a lot of time updating the track data. This major update is crucial becaus...

Test Build v.0.0.24

Hello hello hellooo..!

How are you guys doing? as always, I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

and for you who lives in the US, please take care during these hurricane season.

Anyway, it was crazy race weekend back to back wasn't it? we have Gasly winning at Monza, and 2 red flags at mugello! it was a nasty pile up, thankfully no one gets hurt. Russel put up a great effort on the last few laps, but too bad the william's car performance is just too lacking.

and Back to the track, here...

Weekly Progress #48

Hello hello..!

It was the Independence Day holiday today here in Indonesia! the 75th, to be exact. although to be honest i'm not sure whether we're really Independent at this moment. but let's not get into that shall we :P

Anyway, I can't really say that I had a good long weekend. I fell off a stair and almost broke my leg. thankfully, nothing's broken. Although I was pretty worried because one of my fingers actually turn blue (literally).

But in the end the doctor said it was just severe bruises. And to be honest, I'm not ...

How are you guys doing? I hope you're all safe and in good health.

For our friends who's been in quarantine, I hope you guys get well soon.

Did you watch last week's British GP? it was a crazy last lap wasn't it? hahaha

But red bull did well on the second race. As for Vettel, just like martin brundle said, it's going to be a long and painful divorce with ferrari. Too bad, really.

I apologize for the late release of the test build. I actually could've gotten this version ready last week,...

Test Build v.0.0.22

Well I hope you all had a great one. and of course, stay safe and healthy!

Been quite a busy week for me. I have a deadline incoming in two weeks. Still a LOT of frames to render. And even during weekend, I have to pop up every now and then to monitor the render progress, as sometimes there could be an error on the renderfarm PCs.

But anyway, that's actually a good reason for me to stay...

Test Build v.0.0.20

Hello hello!

First of all, I hope you are all safe and healthy.

staying safe, staying clean, staying healthy, and most importantly, stay calm and don't panic.

I think it's been 3 weeks since quarantine begins here in Jakarta. I noticed that some people start going back to work at the office.

Weekly Progress #44

Hello Everyone,
How are you guys doing?
First of all, I hope all of you are healthy.
Stay clean , stay safe. And stay calm even in this troubling times.

As for me, I'm doing okay. Other than having a stiff shoulder, I'm not feeling if there's anything wrong with my body. Still going to the office, and of course, still working on the track hahaha.

This weekly progress post should've come out a few days ago, but I've been having a problem with logging in. Not sure if it got anything to do with the pandemic or not, but th...

Weekly Progress #43

Hello Everyone, Abulzz here

First of all, I hope you're all safe and healthy.  And same goes for your loved ones as well.

Here in Jakarta, the situation is not so bad. At least on the surface. Schools has been closed until further notice, and some companies send their employees to work from home, but for the most part, people still commuting and work at the office.

same goes for me. I still go to work today. there's still traffic jam on my way back, although not as bad as usual XD

no shortage on daily necessities...

Hello hello..

How are you guys doing? I hope all of you stay safe and healthy. and I hope your families is safe as well.

the recent world health problem has been quite a concern huh? 

some cases started to appear in a region next to mine, but so far it doesn't affect daily life that much. But it's noticable that people starting to get cautious. Some are even piling up food supplies. I can't say that they are overreacting, but even then, some people has gone too far and buying massive bulk of face mask to sell them at 1...

Weekly progress #42

Hello hello..!

How are you guys doing? 

February came to pass, and now we're already in March! is it just me, or time feels like getting faster? XD

Anyway, it's the beginning of the month, and as usual, I would release an update for the test build. Still need a bit of time to adjust the physical mesh after I added the highway section, but it should be ready in 2-3 days.

the adjustment on the landscape took a bit more time than I expected. and the trees need to be adjusted too.

Hello helloo..!!

How are you guys doing? How was your Valentine? XD

For those who celebrate with your loved ones, hope you had a great time. For those who didn't because you're single like me, remember there's still (probably) next year to celebrate lol

Anyway, after passing Collesano, I started modeling on the A19 highway.

remember a few months ago, we got new data that the A19 and A20 highway was actually already operational in 1973?

Weekly Progress #39

Hello hello!

Phew, the beginning of 2020 hasn't been very kind to me lol. If all the problem I've faced in the first 2 weeks is the reflection of what I am going to face this year, this is going to be one hell of a year. literally XD

But who knows? maybe I need to spend all my bad luck on the first month to get a good 11 months :P

but on the other hand, we made quite a progress with the track this week.

Hello hello!

oh wow, suddenly we are in December! and new year is just around the corner!

it's been a long straight... I mean, a long year :P

I know I used to update the test build every beginning of a month, but the last month I was working mainly on updating the track's data, so if I update the build now, there won't be much visual difference.

Although I added a few more buildings, but I decided to postpone the test build f...

Hello hello!

anyway, did you guys seen the train at the cerda station? Found a picture that showed the train was there during the '73 race, so we added it :D

the doctor said there's nothing to worry about. The thing is, she live in a city about an hour flight from where I live. I might have to go there for a bit, just to make sure everything is fine and she got someone to take care of her -__-
