I should mention - while I've done lots of research, I have not actually tried it for myself! But if you decide to dive into this, if there's any small way I could help, I'd love to. Happily it's possible! FYI this same trick (non-visual detailed track surface) actually goes back to rF1 days - I believe lasercutter was the first to use it with his Thruxton mod, back in the day. This is the Grand Prix Karting version with all the iconic spots of the original recreated in miniature. Monaco is so challenging that only the best drivers in the world win here. The big three motorsport races are Le Mans 24 Hours, Indy 500 and Formula One Monaco Grand Prix. Whether a laser scanned track surface (like in ACC) or a well-made mod (like LilSki or JohnR's), they'll include this feature, and you will want it ported into GTR 2 or AMS. rFactor Grand Prix Karting version of Monaco. One especially important thing to be mindful of: good AC track mods will use a simple visual-only 3D mesh for the visual track surface, and also have an invisible suuuuper detailed track surface (which is the one you actually drive on, and feel in your FFB). This will make the conversion feel more 'at home' in the older sim. You'll also need to replace 'standard' game-specific assets for GTR 2 and AMS: for example, billboard trees, crowds, grass textures, armco. Watch out for needing to change things around specularity or reflections (these often get weird when converting between games). You can probably keep most textures, but you will need to reduce polygon count on non-essential assets (bulidings, grandstands, barriers) to improve performance in an older game. (A bit of time will pass, then a window will appear showing the folder containing the converted FBX in Windows Explorer).For each KN5 file you want to import into Blender: click once to select, press and hold Shift, double click on the KN5, then release Shift.

How to get Assetto Corsa tracks into Blender: Although, especially for Automobilista, you may need to do some final finishing touches (on shaders and the like) in 3DSimEd. Then you can do most of the work you need to do there. What's nice about Assetto Corsa tracks: it's pretty straightforward to get them into Blender.

What's below is based on notes I stored in a text file a while ago Click to I've often dreamt of the same thing as you! So I have done a bunch of research about it.
