I found some extremely minor texture snafus, but man, I'm not even sure they would show up in a pic. The two most glaring alignment flaws in my opinion are here and here - at the beginning of the tunnel and right after you exit. Overall good job on the texture work, however.

I'll run it for shorts later tonight to check the cp placement.

PS - Cp placement works - no shorts, however cp 7, left pole is floating.

Hey, this is much better. Nice update.

Between cp5 and the bridge needs work so you don't lose momentum meaninglessly. As it is now it's just bumps that kill your speed.
The tunnel
- has a lot of potential for some wicked down hill high speed...
  - lean into it at the start instead of that jump. That is, anticipate the slope
  - get rid of that hump right in the middle. It's a speed killer.
- the boxes toward the end are above the ground.
The track doesn't need much in the model department... just a bit of eye candy to help on those turns where the road gets blurred into the surrounding hills. There's only a couple spots like that too.

Hmmm...I think the tunnel is fine as is, actually. If you enter it to the far left coming off a very smooth approach to it, you'll hit that downhill part without a bounce, allowning you to get up to 95 mph. At that speed when you hit that jump coming out of the tunnel, you'll actually be going a little too fast, ultimately overshooting the turn a little. LOL you make that sucker any faster and you'll be standing on the brakes. Anyway, that's my opin.

That tunnel is the hardest turn that I think I've ever made... its just way off camber and its really really hard to hit it right... The ground boxes are on the list for the next version..

As for going too fast... I've even lowered the jump a bit to get it to where it is now.. LoL

I love this track so far, I love the layout, low lag, it's fast, it's challenging, I personally wouldn't change a thing, except maybe the textures, might think of some Evo textures, but I actually like it as it is.

Just finish it, with some checkpoints and all, I think it would be a killer track. I like all your tracks, and this one is looking to be very great too. Until you get the checkpoints set it hard for now to see if there is anywhere to cheat, but if placed right, there should be any way of doing it and it'll keep it fair.

Great job so far Psyco, I look forward to the finished product.
