Track Updates Disappointment...again
Note: This is based on the trailers, so things might chance however, not likely. It is such a disappointment that the tracks with the most legacy in the history of the sport is still stuck on 10-15 ...

@DannyVomb I agree with the sentiment and the request.
Hoped Las Vegas and Losail would get the laser scan treatment instead of photogrammetry now that we are under EA. You don't get to make brand new circuits every year, and these being the first completely under the new company structure had me hoping it would signal a new approach.
Bears repeating: photogrammetry can be well made, and is always used even with laser scan tracks to bring the surroundings and even the track itself to life. But when it comes to surface texture, elevation, "resolution" so to speak... There's no beating laser/Lidar.
That said, iRacing's Spa still has Bridgestone advertising all over the place. ACC's Spa are from before the gravel traps. They're properly scanned though, and it shows.

Or GT7 where they really do make up most on their tracks 😁.
