thanks mate, testing in a minute. will report back

Update: Track works perfect now, tested on my server and i could connect no problem at all! awesome stuff, so is it some new technique used for that norm which doesnt like certain rigs?

No idea..

So, anyone gonna chuck it up on a server so we can make some ruts?

[teeds]

It'll be up soon 

Up!

Awesome thanks teeds!

[BadStar]

Really awesome details in the turns (and everywhere)..

no issues here with 7b (maybe its diff driver versions?)

nice work man

Happens on all tracks but is there any way making jump faces more resilient to rutting than the rest of the track? I think it could be fair to say that jumps are made of more compacted dirt and certainly not loose dirt on real tracks. Maybe it's already done but jumps still get nasty while the rest of the track can be very good to ride with the same deformations.

I'm having replay lag issues on this track with free roam cam and trackside cam. I just finished testing other tracks to see if the same thing happens, nope, just Unadilla is giving me the replay lag. Also the camera movement in free roam is very slow compared to the other tracks. I only tested the free roam cam and trackside cam. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's not something I've given much thought to. To be honest I've complained about the ruts on jumps before but never thought about how to combat the problem.

I guess the problem occurs more on jumps because there is more pressure on the floor from the bike when hitting a jump face, but likewise as the suspension rebounds and the wheels start to get light on the lip, the deformation becomes less causing an abrupt stop. This gives me a major case of the noseys.

I can experiment with harder jump faces at some point. What I'd rather see though is some tweaking to the deformation rate when on an incline, as generally speaking inclines are made of sterner stuff anyway be that a man made jump face or a hill.

Well, if anyone was a bit inclined to try stuff out, I guess the inverse of the derivative of the heightmap would prove to be a nice top material layer... (or rather, the overlay of the partial derivatives for both X and Y). That would thin out everything that has an abrupt slope change, and keep everything that is flat-ish deep.

Something like this ( http://eat3d.com/forum/tips-tricks-and-free-videos/derivative-map-photoshop-actions ), you'd to turn G and B to whitescale and overlay those I guess...
