Hahaha, glad you like it. Yeah that concrete texture is almost like driving on ice which can make for some nice drifting. That's why I made the roads a bit wider than normal to compensate for drifting. I don't like very narrow roads because you have to keep your speed down quite a bit and there's less room for error. What I'm really looking forward to is the eventual addition of AI cars and possibly multiplayer mode. There's plenty of road space for multiple cars to corner at once which tells me that would be a real dent-fest.
This is one of the best maps around. Nice work on the custom objects. You did a great job on making the track flow nice. If you haven't already, download this one, it's great, It even has it's own cheering crowd!
Was you just looking for something to stick stockcar in the title? this track in nothing like any stockcar track. EVER. Its more of a rally course. Im assuming you named it stockcar because of the rednecks around the map? thats pretty f'ed up.
This is by far my favourite custom track out there, you are the only person who seems to understand how a road works. And the fact a car won't do well getting up a really narrow road with a 75 degree angle to the side.
Thanks, I'm glad you're happy with it. I've made a few tweaks here and there to fix and improve things. For one, the jump with the missing bridge is a little closer together to make it slightly easier for slower cars to jump, but I haven't released it yet because I'm waiting for the next update. Once Beam updates the game, then I'll tweak and add some things hopefully to make it funner track to race on. I'm not a fan of narrow, steep roads either. I like my roads a bit wider to allow for a bit of slide and the fact that many people still use the keyboard to steer which can be a bit twitchy.
Yeah it is a little twitchy, the only thing I can think of which could be fun for this is a bit of a straighter run up for the jump, with some cars trying to stay on line with it is quite hard. Also maybe some dirt tracks that link different parts of the track.
Re: Stockcar Madness racing map The-Moonhawk-Sport-RWD-AWD , I think anyway. It's been awhile now.. I'm looking forward to the update, definitely still my favorite map to cruise around! Do you know if anyone ever configured http://www.beamng.com/threads/2947-Waypoints-(paths)-for-cars?highlight=waypoint to work with your map? It would be awesome to have AI driving next to you, and the extra road space should help it stay on course. If you ever get the time/motivation to work on a new map I'd love to see it!
I've looked over the waypoints for AI mod a while back and thought that it was a bit too deep code-wise for me at the time when I thought about adding it to the map. I'm waiting and hoping instead that the AI and pathing for BeamNG will include some updates as well when the next patch comes out. Hopefully they're tweaking that to work better and hopefully set up will be easier.
It actually was really simple to install and get started with (there is an auto record mode in which you just drive along the desired path), but the AI does not follow the path you record exactly. If the car starts to skid at all the AI will slam on the brakes or over correct, so you have to be really careful while also trying to be fast when recording. Since this track is so long it makes things extra hard, the AI will spin out a few times, but they also take some short cuts to give you a challenge. you can use these files with the waypoints mod if anyone wants to try it out themselves
Wow that's pretty cool dude! It's neat to see all of those cars on the track racing at the same time although they keep cheating and drive over the land slide instead of going through the warehouse obstacle course hehe. The shot of one of the cars in the lake next to the waterfall is hilarious too. I've thought about trying to do this, but I'm not too "cody", but since you've got it to work I'll try it and see what happens. Hopefully the AI will be better with the next patch release. Thanks for doing this.
Even though this is not one of the very good looking maps with a lot of details and vegetations, it's still one of the best mods what concerns gameplay The map is way more fun than it looks on those preview-screens, good job!
Still my most played map, great fun thrashing a standard Covet round or drifting a H15 Supervan. Need more maps like this!
I love this map one problem that creepy hobo whit that sign "will race for food" is sort of creepy PS does he actually have a car?
Haha, no. He actually wants to borrow your car. Just throw a sandwich out your window when you pass him and he wont bother you.
