What software would you recommend piboso for making tracks for this game?

If I have understood him correctly Photoshop and GIMP will be the way to go, I'm not sure tho.

16 bit heightmap programs. Photoshop, GIMP, mud box, and I think earth sculptor might be able to do It also.

Even 3D modelling programs like 3dsmax and Blender can do the job.

Oh cool! I knew they could turn a plane into a heightmap. But didn't know they export in .raw format.

Even if they cannot export directly to RAW, there is plenty of programs to convert a PNG or TIFF to RAW.

I've just found a video on Youtube about dynamic surfacing(Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYdBCxOIZUc) Will this be implemented into MXB?
Starting fresh on a groomed track on a sunny day, it slowly turns into hardpack track with dynamic surfacing. Or would it just be a feature of terrain deformation?

Unfortunately, unlike asphalt, the terrain will not dynamically change from wet to dry.
The terrain will just deform.

Piboso, do you mind if I help you answering questions? Most of the questions on here are asked 10 times already, and I'm sure that you get anoyed by them.

Thank you for your help 

jeah but i mean, if we can make self us own skins and tracks i am sure this will be the best game!

It will be possible to create custom paints for rider / boots / gloves / helmet.
As this thread suggests, it will also possible to create new tracks.

please give us a editor

To sculpt a high-quality track it's probably better to use one of the many professional tools already available.

Piboso will be there a Supermotard in the future? Would be nice so we can use the KRP-GPBikes-WRS tracks on it.

It has been considered, but in the end it was decided to keep MX Bikes about MX / SX only. So no ATV, no speedway, ...
Supermoto is probably more suited as a mod of GP Bikes.

Hey I pm'd you about that some days ago!

Sorry.
There is a storm of emails and PMs at the moment.
Maybe something could be missed 

Will there be an in game editor like Mx Sim. I dont have photoshop but I do have gimp can tracks be made in there? Or can tracks be made in earth sculptor?

There is no editor at the moment.
It is possible to use any program that can save a 16 bits grayscale image.

Done. Max one picture, of max size 1024x128.

Thought this would be an appropriate topic for this section.

First, is there any way we can get a signature picture SIZE limit? I've already seen people with absolutely huge signatures. Really doesn't make the forum look pleasing. My signature has a max height of 128 px and it seems to work well.

Thank you for the tip.
It will be done.

To answer the many requests about the release date:
it is not set yet. When it's ready. Hopefully during Q1 2014.
The first release will be an early work in progress build.

Will the track editing be similar to gp bikes? I'm unfamiliar with that so will have to learn how to do it. Would love to make tracks for this.

The terrain creation is completely different.
But everything else is mostly the same.

Please don't get your expectation too high, or you may be disappointed. Especially by the very first release.

Piboso had already said that some of the features in this will hopefully set the bar for the simulators. Meaning some if the features in this will be copied no doubt.

Not really.
The plan is to port improvements made for MX Bikes to the other sims sharing the same engine ( GP Bikes, World Racing Series, Kart Racing Pro ).
