*sam* Posted Apr 20, 2012, 11:09 am	Another new racetrack, courtesy of Bastille..  It's in Somerset, and is quite 'offroady' (i.e. bumpy)
Groove Champion Posted Apr 20, 2012, 11:21 am	Awesome!!
Tez Posted Apr 20, 2012, 11:33 am	Rougher than a taxi ride with the Dune Peddlers, fun though.
Groove Champion Posted Apr 20, 2012, 11:53 am	This is a very tough track... There are a few spots that are very uneven, whether it was intended or not. I still think it's a nice addition. 189460
*sam* Posted Apr 20, 2012, 12:08 pm	There's room for *some* rough tracks like this, but they'll take a lot of practice to get good at. That's a good thing, in moderation. Hopefully we can get some nice smooth ones too

Groove Champion Posted Apr 20, 2012, 12:22 pm	I don't have a problem with this track being so rough. My only concern is that it's in Somerset, so new players might have a very hard time with it. I remember when I started out I was finishing last consitently on much smoother tracks.
*Bastille* Posted Apr 20, 2012, 1:05 pm	Thanks sam  yes, this one is a bit rough. Some smooth fast bits too I hope, but again, Id think soft suspension the go here. Best go check it out  *sam* said: There's room for *some* rough tracks like this, but they'll take a lot of practice to get good at. That's a good thing, in moderation. Hopefully we can get some nice smooth ones too  maybe not a good time to show you ... It has some smooth sections (the bowl is done point by point, trying to taper a huge banking curve. Very hard to do. Thats taken some patience. The rest of the track still needs some smoothing. Cars can handle some pretty rough stuff and go fast (junkyard tracks) Hopefully in this bowl, they can go... real fast. Im hoping. The turn at the bottom may be too sharp. needs, stuff.

FireFly Posted Apr 20, 2012, 1:38 pm	Dunes...? Duuunes??? DUNES!!!! Actually... sand dunes are very loose and well, I would be sad if it's a hard and to bumpy track, that would not be dunes

Hopefully we can get some nice smooth ones too  Exactly. Not to minimize Bast's efforts here, but an in-town track ought to be somewhat markedly more "domesticated," as opposed to a selection of rugged wilderness with a start/finish line. EDIT: Mebbe I'll try my hand at this and put together my figure-8 track....
*Bastille* Posted Apr 20, 2012, 2:42 pm	I have made one, but its all bumpy (see, tracks you would like to see, thread for pics. two stunt jumps) I could make this track faster (smoother) buts its turned out rather as intended. The main shortcut is a little tricky to drive fast, which is kinda good. Hopefully some good death racing here. It was actually much smoother, but then decided it could be rougher hehe. 140 mph is still possible here in a fast muscle, maybe more, not sure. Dunes. yes, could be miss leading I guess.
*JeeTeeOh* Posted Apr 20, 2012, 2:53 pm	Stunt jumps are good!
*Bastille* Posted Apr 21, 2012, 12:34 am	Did people want this smoother? (again, the bumps are actually thought out quite deliberately) Its easily done

*Bastille* Posted Apr 21, 2012, 1:16 am	thats good enough for me can go back to make the Morgburg ring
*Tango* Posted Apr 21, 2012, 1:20 am	Agreed, let it stew a while.
*Bastille* Posted Apr 21, 2012, 3:58 am	a couple of spots im wondering if should be harder, slower to take. Nice add of the two barriers
Juris Posted Apr 21, 2012, 6:31 am	Barriers will be a real killer Just tried the Dunes for first time, love it. Very deceptive - looks easy but it's not.
Serephe Posted Apr 21, 2012, 7:16 am	Looks more suited to gateway honestly.

*Bastille* Posted May 27, 2012, 5:16 am	Could Death races at the Dunes be increased to two laps? I think this could add to the fun of these a bit. Give a chance to shoot some guys, and make up time on lap 2 using some of the shotcuts.

*sam* Posted May 27, 2012, 5:06 pm	ok!
