Mobile Racetrack Anyone?

23.9k RobertsAeronautics  8 months ago

With randomusername2’s spawnable island, and RepublicOfCursedPlanes’ soon-to-be-released SP Mobile Railway, that got me thinking, can someone make a mobile spawnable racetrack map? Both of the tracks in the game have apparent flaws, but a spawnable track can address these issues. The only slight issue that this idea has is that no one has any plans on making one - I too busy (and lazy, sorry) with other projects (which I will speed up progress on), but if you like this idea, go ahead! And if you want, I can design the track for you too!

    @oldmate52 also here's some tips:
    - Don't build it in 1/1 scale, maybe 1/10 to 1/100, then scale it up when it's finished.
    - Either make the circuit suitable for a large flat area of land, or a spawnable island.
    - Add barriers and run-off areas (especially around corners), with partCollisionResponse set to none for all barriers, and probably the track (I recommend doing this before building the track and barriers, and use those parts to make them, so that you're not repetitively setting partCollisionResponse to None for each part after the track is finished).
    - I recommend adding a pit lane.
    - Electronic flag panels like in Formula 1 would be really cool, as well as lights at the start/finish line (I can help you with that if you need it, like if a yellow or red flag were to be thrown at random).

    @oldmate52 Gold Prix has a massive turn, which is very annoying. Mirage Speedway in Maywar has no straights. So that picture in the link great, but you could make one of the hairpins tighter.

    Here’s one, I don’t know how well it works as I haven’t been able to try it out yet:

    @oldmate52 try finding a real racetrack (a simple one, of course), and make the track with fuselage parts, with some run-off area – it doesn't have to be an exact replica.
