Hmmm... There are roads that the software doesn't seem to recognize - for example one of the broadest avenues of Budapest, my hometown...

Hmmm#2
I somehow managed to finish the design part, the game started - and now it doesn't recognize my keyboard (or something else is the problem, I press the cursor keys and nothing happens, my car is standing on the grid...) Anyone else with the same problem? bio PS: Yes, my keyboard is OK, I checked it And yes, I have Unity installed. PS2: I refreshed the page and now my track is gone... I'm really trying to be positive about this game, but so far there's been problems upon problems for me... Not to mention that it's half past 4 AM here and I spent half my night with/for this... Go and sleep now, see what tomorrow brings... bio |

You're not missing much. Some corners are smoothed out, or are completely removed (for example, sharp chicanes basically become a straight with a couple of kinks that can be taken flat out). Also, the car handles horribly, almost as if you are driving on ice. And yes, I am still alive for those who have wondered where I disappeared to. If anyone wants to know where I went, let me know. |

Yeah ive noticed some problems with this after using it some more. I cant get into the gallery to see other tracks and the car handling is awful. I still have to give it some credit as you can find out if a ciruit is good or not in only a few minutes compared to spending hours in BTB (but you would get better results witu btb).

For me a lot longer. Sometimes it took about half a minute for a waypoint to register. On the whole, about 10 minutes.

By the way, when I managed to finish a track design - and start racing thanks do mandretti's advice - it was a much smoother ride than i thought. It was easy to enjoy it - so I liked it.
Thx for the link once again! bio |

Did a track around Cardiff. Half an hour after clicking Race, it's still loading
Shame, because I was thinking this was the start of something big |

Yeah, the software that does the trick would definitely be welcome here... If it's working properly, of course

I got mine to load, once I didn't bother adding sign boards, shops, bars, etc.
Now, if I could just go back in and load that track to race it again. |

I found that it hung on me at 50% if I wasn't using Internet Explorer. If you're having problems and using firefox,opera or chrome then try IE.
