I am more or less just posting updates for giggles.. but it sure is fun trying to create a replica of the yard and house and ride it just like I did when I had my yzf426!

Trying to figure out plants! 2d of course..

It's wierd riding my old bike in my yard hahah!

Anyway, this project is just for fun and learning.. maybe it will teach me to make better/complete content one day!

All replica as close as i can at the moment, even the jump by the side of the house  

[Purpose:]

Hey all,

Not sure if this will ever have any impact but its free and simple, so why not?!  (for the sake of mxb)

Purpose:  Large playlist of Everything MXB! "One Stop Shop"

Content:  Playlist of channels that showcase mx-bikes

Community:
1) If you have content you would like to manually add to your/a playlist, let me know and I can send you a "contributor" link!
       (the link allows you to "share" a video, it's simple and does not require uploads)
2) I have placeholder channel art.. any art is welcome!
3) If I add something you don't want on the channel, just let me know.
4) Please link me to more channels that have good vids, so I can start more playlist.
5) Channel Name is up for debate!! Idea's welcome!

May or may not have any impact.. once again, free & easy!

Has anyone or DD himself used these with mx-bikes? Is that what you have teeds?

I'm impressed..jealous and dreaming of my own set (obviously)

When I enable the trainer and race with "rainy", it becomes pretty laggy (js7 is unplayable)

Does this happen for others?


I am using a trainer from a sunny session (not sure it matters)

Not sure where to post this..                             
           
            not the best quality vid..                 
                   
                           but will help get ya started!!   

(just uploaded so may be super poor quality for a bit, lol)

Considering sponsoring the winner of a single event($25 or so for win) for July 9th, or any Saturday date..

thoughts are to have something a little "different" after the 1st GTX series comes to a close!

Anyway, Ideas welcome..  early models and gear only?

- Single Event
- 3/5 lap scramble

*strange - no matter how many times I try and delete [/list] and click "save", it shows back up in my post..wtf

This may just be me so I am coming to you guys to help me get this straight in my head..

I don't feel like the 450cc bikes are to scale for the sim... it makes it to where I don't really enjoy riding them and forces me to use the 250x (which is not a bad thing) but the 250x seems to be on a diff scale than the 450's..which IRL should be on a similar playing field. (I do know that modern 450's are beast but it shouldn't be so dramatically diff)


Let's take Red Bud's leap as an example and maybe you guys can help me adjust this in my head or help me prove the bikes are out of scale.

1) The 450 can over jump the leap like it is a bump in the road..?
2) The 250x has to work to clear the jump

I know 450's are powerful, I have owned a modern race 4 stroke..but I find that I clear huge sections in this game and the revs sound to be putting around as if I'm just joy riding around but clearing major triple's?.. 450's are beast but watch a vid or go run a 450 on a track and you still have to throttle/attack the track. I'm having to adjust the gearing all the way down to get the gear changes and audio feedback that I feel would be accurate with a 450 on a track..  I don't want to get into the debate of what a 450 can clear in what gear irl..I know they are bad motha's, but this is a bit over kill in my mind and I'm just looking for a tab bit of feedback.  Take the stock 450 in game and go ride any track and it sounds like you riding around your back yard while over jumping triples like they are nothing lol

I understand that motocross requires rhythm and timing, I also understand a simulated vehicle on a game pad is an adjustment of muscle memory..but with that said, imo the 450's are just simply OP.

thoughts?

Would love the option to show the trainer(ghost) in the replay. I have some great ideas for vids and it would be nice to be able to see my other rider in the replay?!

When making vids, I could do some sweet coordinated whips because the rider is actually me and many more "race" style footage.. youtubers would think I am riding with someone else and not know the difference.

I can only play mxb in 1st person, which is great because its a simulator!! The reality is, I do enjoy 3rd person as well.. but I am simply unable to play 3rd person from straight behind the bike like 99% of bike games position you haha.

I blame this on rainbow studios.. They have always had an option to place the 3rd person camera where you wish. I discovered years ago that when the camera is angled to see the entire bike, riding 3rd person became 10x better and more precise for rhythm etc! (my opinion obviously). Not to mention I love to actually see the bike in game so its win win for me and only me haha! At first its a little strange with the angle but I can't go back.

Posting an example of where I would have it on MXvsATV and somewhat wish to have it on mxb.. (actually a little more angled to the profile of the bike)

Is this possible? Does anyone know if I can edit a file or something to do this so I can play in 3rd person some?

In-game I have let's say around 6 replays available for review.

In C:\Users\BadStar\Documents\PiBoSo\MX Bikes\replays, I have many more listed .rpy files..

Q: I can I get these back into the replay menu and watch them???

If this is in the wrong place for any reason, I will happily to remove it..

*Obvious disclaimer - first mod/track in my life so every program I am learning as I make the track..(head explosion)

I am hoping for a little insight on "power of 2" regarding objects in sketchup
(I understand it for heightmap/textures etc)

I am realizing making 2d tree's and tree lines is easier than expected. Take some pics of tree, alpha channel them and import into sketchup as you can see in my pic..

Q1: How do I know this is power of 2, along with any other objects in sketchup?
Q2: Is it literally the resolution of the file I imported?

[CLOUDY]

Want to go ahead and put this out there for anyone who wants more tracks to ride on.. and/or constructive feedback.

Missing objects & some textures (pickup truck/trees/highway)

IMPORTANT
*Use CLOUDY or RAIN for most immersion. (no background, so the fog and clouds help fill the void
*about a 1/4 mile of trail that spawns you backwards (may not notice)
*about a 1/4 mile or less of trail with no re-spawn (may not notice)
*trails will have directional type markers when I learn objects.. (2 long trail sections)
*very fun in 1st person!! (3rd person..not so sure)

SPAWN AREA
*Gravel Parking - near a 2 lane highway (highway is dirt bc I cant figure out the texture yet)
*Imagine a pick-up truck or two parked in the lot, lol.. (haven't figured out objects yet)
*Trail head - across road from start/parking

Builder Pros
If anyone becomes interested in helping me figure out how to texture the highway w/out turning the world white, I will be happy to share the original files with anyone. (same with objects)

Builder Newbs
If any new builders want to see how a newb did something, I will happily share the original files.

1st shot at a bike skin release!

http://www.mxb-central.com/yz426f-200102/

2001/02 Factory Yamaha YZ426F. Decided on this as a first attempt for 2 reasons. Using the msm frame worked well because it reflects the older model mx'rs frames.. and this was my last bike before my sm irl!

1st rider skin released!

Based of the FOX 180 gear.
http://www.mxb-central.com/fox-180-black-w-blue-v1/

This was a learning experience, so I only have the one color option but I wanted to release anyway. I own this skin irl, so this is why I decided it as my 1st/practice skin.

Asphalt + Dirt/Jumps/Rhythm?

Calling all super moto riders!

Download the "Mountain" track and lets race/ride!

https://mega.nz/#F!eNVSADpZ!a6u3dBMlFT8zw5x7K68eVg!eEtzWDLS


A friend and I ride a ride very similar road to this in North Alabama on our sm's and I would love some people to ride it with!!  (he doesn't play games/sims)

also, any other good sm tracks ESPECIALLY WITH MX SECTIONS would be a huge + <---way bigger than this one 

So, I am very new to custom paints obviously...but I know I can make something look similar to my DRZ for the super moto part of mxb.. I was just goofing around to see if I could make a simple edit at all and it worked (easier than expected).

Question: Why do the lines show in the black paint?

Is it possible that we may see a fix to the club track, regarding the rough/bumpy turn before the next beta release or is it easier for development to just hold off on updates until more improvements overall?

So... what would it take for someone to make my drz??

Obviously Im talking $ lol


I ask for 2 reasons
1) It's my bike and duh..would be amazing to ride in game.
2)Massive dr-z community I could show off my in game bike and help with mxb sales!
3)drz is a widely used enduro..maybe the model can have dirt setup also? for when we get more enduro tracks?
4)I don't own my YZ426F anymore..so I'll push for the drzzzz!
