Really nice track! I think it flows very nicely and it's technical enough to be a challenge but not frustrating. So yeah, great job!

Just a couple of things:
- the bridge sends pretty much every fast-ish car flying. To me it kinda ruins the fun a bit, especially because it would make the following corner much more difficult if you could reach it with a higher speed. Mind, I think a smaller bump would be great and challenging, I just think it's a bit too much as it is now.
- Do you plan on modifying the pit area to have a proper pit lane? Not that it changes much to the track itself, I think it would just look that much better

Anyway, I really like what you did and keep up the great work!

 

Nothing is more satisfying than drive few laps on a new track

(Rolling start, and have to slow down before the bridge)
Few suggestions: the bridge need to be smoothed, normal speed landing:

And the track is way to slow, slow corners everyone and one by one, you probably need one more straight way on the back or some high-speed corners. One more thing is that maybe you can have multiple layouts of the track, it's a nice job so far

 

Thanks for the feedback

On regards to the bridge I do see what you mean because whilst using something like the D15 or the moonhawk with their soft suspension that jump can be real fun, on something like the time attack sunburst all you have to is get it slightly wrong and it can obliterate the suspension on it, so yeah that's going to be fixed for the next update

And also in regards to the pit lane and at the moment it is all fairly bare but in this version all I wanted to do was to get the base map out into the open so in the next version, bar a bit of smoothing of corners, it will mostly be set dressing to make it all look more alive
--- Post updated ---

Hey thanks for the message

Like I was saying in response to the other guy about the bridge I would agree, it is too bumpy and I can assure you that it will be something that will be fixed in the next version!

But in response to you talking about how slow the track is, I would agree that currently it is.
In early versions of this map there was huge camber linking up all the corners meaning on some you could go flat out and let gravity do the work however the more I progressed the more the camber caused problems so I got rid of it without thinking about the flow of the track, I will be tweaking the layout slightly in the next update and potentially adding an alternate layout but if you still want a really fast map then don't worry because I'm working on one for the near future

Again thanks for the feedback

 

Cool to see another race map for beamng. I see potential for this map.
I know this is an early release but here are some bug reports just in case: Random grass sticking through the pavement is some parts, roads aren't the smoothest at some parts, grass sticking up in the showroom house.
Suggestions: Most corners have sand only on the inner part of the corner and not on the outer part where it is more important. Distance the trees from the track on some parts. You don't want people smashing head on into a three after spinning of course. Barriers in the corners if possible.
Also Signs telling you what the distance is to the corner. You can find them at hiroshi raceway.

Great to hear. I'll make sure to wait patiently for your other map too.

ehm.....



There is something I can do? I deleted cache and redownload your map. I did the integrity check and got this:

Is this something about your map?

 

I'm having no problems

 

The track layout is excellent now Corner 4 is quite challenging and I think it will be a good over take point. Now, this map need tiremarks and kurbs(I know it's hard), then it will be perfect

sorry for bumping, but is this track dead???? i love it and want to know if there will be another update

 

Not dead, just in hibernation. Currently I am in my final year of school so revising and grades are higher up on my list than working on this.

If I can get the time I will work on it but I have been very busy :/

 

thats good, you focus on school, just glad there will be another update evetually

There is no quickrace option. It doesn't appear as an selectable map in the quickrace mode.

 

I'll have to look into it, thanks for pointing it out

 

Did you have this happen for you as well? Because i just realized that i can't find the map in the freeroam selector either so i'm thinking mod conflict.

 

I have had a look into it and it still works for me fine. Did you clear cache?

 

Yeah, map doesn't appear at all in game, and you know why? Open the archive. The map folder should be located inside the "levels" folder.

 

I've done an update which is currently awaiting approval. This should fix it
