If you can get some of the objects from the old Phoenix tracks, I could do .mips for them.

BTW... Awesome Job on the track!

 

[Frigus5]

[TheSleekNinja]

Yea Needs more objects.

But Overall Great Job

yeah eventually Ill add some 3d0's but i'm still trying to get the track to load in the game, I have all the proper files and im pretty sure the PTF isnt corrupted or anything lol. thanks guys

 

[TheJ]

We finally have track loadage. i guess the game didnt like that i had that grandstand there :nah:

One thing i already see wrong is the track is way too wide, ill fix this :lol:

and now i notice i have 2 different shades of blue for the safer barrier and the wall LOL. :radar:

According to your overhead view, the track is only 4/5 of a mile long

 

[Highbank]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Keep it up, love it!

:swoon: wow. well that makes me feel like an idiot. I based the frontstretch off of current measurements which puts it at 1100 feet and i figured i would end up with a mile :unsure:
BUT! scaling of the track by 109% puts it at 5230 ft. :notworthy: Thank you for pointing this out now, before i started putting 3dos making pits, all that jazz

Your fence posts are to far apart. Aside from that, it looks like a great start.

:elvis: Holy batman they are. i don't like that fence mip anyway. it doesnt look... fence-y enough for my liking.
I like that yall are finding problems my eyes dont want to see, id hate to be nearly done with this only to realize my track ISN'T EVEN THE RIGHT SIZE :shocked:

Hey TheJ what OS do you use to run Sandbox in?

 

[TheJ]

Win7. i had read almost everywhere that it doesnt work in that but i guess it does. i can't open any tracks that were already made but i can create a new one obviously

 

[PepsiRacer4]

Did you do anything specific? I always try to make a new track by myself but it always freezes once I save.

 

[TheJ]

Nah just the usual stuff i used to do in XP. how frequently are you saving? If i do alot of changes or take a long time, then save, it usually crashes

 

[PepsiRacer4]

I'm following a tut. It says create a new segment and save. Whenever I try to save after that step it freezes and crashes. Any ideas in what I could do?

 

[TheJ]

hmm. Try compatibility mode? looking now i actually see i run it in compatibility for XP

 

[PepsiRacer4]

Ok I'll try that and see how it goes.

 

[PepsiRacer4]

Well I got it to save. But when I open it now it freezes in compatibility mode. Which version are you running? Sorry if I'm a pester.
