Latest progress. Think the heightmap is pretty much done. Rides good! 

I would love to, but I think I will be taking a break after this project as work is getting pretty busy and I'm running out of free time. Pala looks real good though, looks like it might make a good long term project as it's a bit....  big lol

Thanks chet lol.. didn't take that long so far - textures are the time killer with me.

Ehm, pala raceway looks good

Still a work in progress, and the last section (to the right of the start straight) is untouched atm, but its very ride-able, really fun..

I recorded a lap to that point in fraps, and although I am not as fast as cdub from his vid, all the sections work pretty much perfectly when comparing the vids at the same time. Used the layout from earth explorer screenshot and tried to get the scale as close as possible. When I finish the last section I will upload a lap vid.

Tip: You should rename the .zip to .pkz, then people can just drop that into their tracks folder.

I must have missed this.. Thanks for the tip 

Its the classic - if more people were playing online, I would spend more time online but that's just contributing to the lack of people.

Totally. Ive been playing since day one, made various custom tracks which I can ride clean and have had a couple on maryland, but a clean lap on the practice track? Not once lol 

I have some trackside GoPro of a rare layout I need to process and upload. That would be rad if you did it!

That would be great man, I think if MX Bikes works the same as karts / GP - you can have multiple layouts. If the layout cdub is riding is the same overall layout I could always look at doing two versions. Don't rush - got a couple of things to finish before moving on to this project, but I'd love to see it!

cdub - thanks man, really useful! all the GoPro footage of this kind of layout on youtube is edited so much it's hard to tell the layout. I've tried to plot it real quick (and google maps is probably outdated, won't be using it as a reference)

Does this look right?

Nice holeshot btw 

Sure pm it over man that would be great! Thanks

Thanks cdub, yeh it definitely seemed that way from all the vids I've seen. Is your footage on online?

Sorry, I know you said it to def, but, any interest in doing TNMX? Thurs. Night MX in the infield of portland Intl. Raceway (PIR). I don't remember seeing nighttime scenes in PiBoSo games, but it's mostly night racing. Washougal would be too steep for this, I think. Who's track has the steepest uphill so far?

I think you got it Chet. TNMX looks perfect! Small enough to get some really nice track detail, all the sections look easily rideable in game, only thing is the inability to add other light sources so would have to be daytime. I think this is next!

Reminds me of the practice track 

edit: Chet can you find a layout of the pro loop there? Seems like mostly on Youtube the GoPro stuff is all amateur, but the trackside stuff is mostly pro with bigger jumps, also the track has changed a lot by the look of it since some of the older videos. If you know it maybe you could sketch it up roughly?

Got any specific suggestions def?

Hey all

So after the current tracks are done I wanted to try my hand at a replica. Just wondering what tracks you guys would like to see made? Have already considered a couple of European tracks but also strongly looking at red bud. Looking for something not too challenging but worth while.  National obviously- no SX..

So, what would you guys like to see? 

edit: changed the topic title to better match topic.

Just to answer a couple of the questions,  the track rides great, the ruts don't really add or take away anything from the ride, they are really more of an experiment to make a better looking track. There are key ruts that are noticeable to aim for.

Im not sure what you mean cdub, do you mean they are too flat? Not enough incline? Its a real delicate balance in this game so far. Too steep and too tall and they are impossible. I've tried to model my landings on mxgp tracks where its more of a big long open landing section which can take big jumps or small. But thanks for the feedback

I dunno Pizza it did look good whatever it was. It looks more like maryland than the example or practice track but I think it was probably an un released tester. Maybe pib will turn it loose?

Anyway track is pretty much done, texture is 90% done and objects will be in progress soon thanks to some help, so hopefully not much longer!

Really strange because it works for kamloops, but I cant find it by searching or on the YouTube app. I don't think it's music related, I normally get a message when that happens but I could be wrong. Wow.. sorry then- if it's still not working tomorrow I'll just upload a lap with game sounds
