I started making a new track and i decided to ask here and show pics. what i need is ideas of what to add to this track and maybe ideas for a track name too...

pics from traxx:









Proposed start finish line(should i move somewhere else?)



thanks to anyone who helps and gives ideas!

Have you seen this page? Some helpful hints there about smoothing out the flat parts to the hill parts.

I like the lake in the corner to prevent anybody cutting across for a short cut. Hills work well in the same way.

Start / finish line can be anywhere. It's always nice to have a bit of a straight stretch just before the finish so you have a chance to race it out.

Since you're using farmroad then trees and a barn and a few cows are always fun. If you check Mal's page, you might like some of the evo conversion models.

i'll have to check out mals models. also i've always had trouble smoothing out hills. i'll figure it out someday.

single point direct edit tool is always usefull when you need some fine smoothing.



roflmao! ¬¬ yeah right !!

added some cows to the lake corner and also some hills and a billboard and smoothed out transition a bit.

Now you're talkin'! All tracks without cows suck imho

The best advice I could ever offer is to just take your time and don't rush it. Experiment and have fun.

Hey i think a possible name for this course could be something like Hazzard county as it looks like something you would expeect to see the general lee going around especially if u have a couple of good jumps in it....over a lake or sumthing

hmm thats not a bad idea i might try doing a jump over a lake or a water way.

Ok so today i did alot to the track (no pics yet) added a barn and some trees and some jumps over water. uhm made the track much longer. and i set the course. its pretty fun but not finished but its fun. you can test the track here:

warning its extremly unfinished. i just need some comments and stuff on the progress. and yes i know some of the jumps aren't finished you can take a detour to get around them.

just a note i've updated the track since i uploaded that .pod so that version up there is older but you can still test it if you want...

Keep up the good work!!!
Always nice reading about new tracks in progress.

i am sending the current version to shadow princess so she can try it out.

I don't know if anyones reading this but here are some pics of the track with all the edits i've made so far...

















I plan to add trains. and maybe some moving cop cars to chase the general lee down? and some more hills and trees. and other objects...

Hey, that's coming along really well.



Tip. Water doesn't need to be any more than a couple feet deep.



Keep up the good work.

Thank you phin! i'm gonna work on it some tommorow see what i can add to
it.

I might release the track as a beta today. i just gotta smooth up some areas and add a few things. its really fun! trust me you guys will love it.

also i might release hellsgate raceway the way it is. i don't think i ever uploaded it. i'll make a separate topic for the track for reviews

i've tooken a break on this track for now. still gotta do some stuff to it so might not be up right away like hellsgate raceway...

i think its awesome u went with the hazzard county idea and i cant wait for this track to come out in its finished form teh development shots look good.

yes it is quite fun!

now up on the tracks page i'm finished with this track.
